We here at FP are in scarce company in our dislike of the first Spider-Man movie. I was optimistic about the second one when I learned that Gough and Millar (of Smallville) were writing it. Then I saw Birds of Prey and subsequent seasons of Smallville, and I was no longer so optimistic. But now I’ve seen the trailer for SM2 (return of the restraints), and damn it if I’m not optimistic again..
