Marvel movies

I saw Spider-Man 2 last night. Nice!

From Newsweek
"In the past, these kinds of movies tended to focus just on who the next villain was going to be," says studio chairman Amy Pascal. "But the heart of 'Spider-Man' is Peter Parker. It's about making sure his story is as complicated and angst-ridden as it was before, if not more so." Not coincidentally, that angst is precisely what has made "Spider-Man" one of the best-selling Marvel Comics characters for more than 40 years.

I liked the touch with Dr Conner, just as I liked the one of Hank McCoy in X-Men 2. I see Bryan Singer will be directing the third X-Men movie, so contuinuity will be good. Hopefully Sam Raimi will continue to direct the Spider-Man movies.
