Comments: When Spider-Man 2 was released in 2004, I was all over that shit. Just like the first film, I'd fallen in love with the sequel. Luckily, Spider-Man 2 holds up a lot better than its predecessor as it's really well-made; the film cuts down on a lot of the extraneous silliness and has a more suitably serious tone.
This was the first time I watched the extended cut, and it seemed rather unneeded. There's nothing new added to the film, and the only scene I really enjoyed was J.K. Simmons dancing around in the Spider-Man suit in his office. If you're going to watch Spider-Man 2, just stick with the theatrical cut.
On a sidenote, the number of future stars in bit roles in this film is crazy. Joel McHale, Elizabeth Banks (who's in all three films), Emily Deschanel, and Daniel Dae Kim are just a handful of the names that have small parts.
