I've heard it's a disappointment. Anyone else?

Heard it's good , better than the first. (Better bad guy)
Anthony Lane mentions how Spiderman is a true Comic book movie, where the hero really is a nerd and is so unsure if he wants his superpowers. Also Kirstin Dunst does is exactly what she has to: be a silent actress in a talking movie...

Yeah, but does she dance around in an A-shirt like in Eternal Suns of a Spotless Mind. eh?

In the last one she was in a wet t-shirt.

Analysis:

-Stage is set for a convincing Spider-Man III, if you follow the plotline and the comic chronology.
-Stan Lee's cameo was exactly the same as in the last film.
-The shot of his costume in the trashcan echoed 'Spider-Man No More!" from Amazing #50.
-Curt Connors and John Jameson: Lizard and Man-Wolf?
-The subway shot totally ripped off the 'I Can Eat 50 Eggs' scene from 'Cool Hand Luke' (thanks, Bob Pingree.)
