Why do people prefer Spider-Man 2 over the original?

As long as Bruce Campbell is in it then i'm happy. :)

i think they're all awful adaptations of a good comic series but what the hell.
1 was the most bearable though.
the ending of Spider-Man 2 was just terrible

This is the only Spiderman for me.

"The Amazing Spider-Man" (1978)

I prefer The Spectacular Spider-Man over the Spider-Man Trilogy because that TV show handled the symboite and Venom better than Spider-Man 3 in my opinion. :cool:

Spider-Man 3 made a few big mistakes with Venom. Like how he kept referring to himself as one person. No Venom appearance is complete without saying something like "We are Venom." Also, who the hell casts Topher Grace as Venom? Last I check, Venom isn't supposed to be comic relief.

i still the think the first one is better than the second, mostly cause the first one kept my attention more

In The Spectacular Spider-Man there was a cool scene where Venom said "I bet you wish you had the black suit now." and Spider-Man said "Oh shut up!" then Spidey shot web fluid at Venom's mouth.

Venom's mouth was covered with spider webs but a hole opened up around Venom's torso and he said "You can quip it out but you can't take it."

(I love that scene, The Spectacular Spider-Man is the best superhero cartoon since Batman: The Animated Series in my opinion. :D)

Because the original is made of ridiculous amounts of whiny censorship and terrible cgi.

I don't exactly know why, but I just think Spider-Man 2 was an overall better movie than the first. The last one was also entertaining, but they just crammed way too much into one movie.. three villains is a but overkill.

Because it was a better movie than the original?

I don't think Spider Man 2 is hands down better than Spider Man but I think it beats it by a smidge. Alfred Molina was pretty damn good as Dr Octopus and I think overall it was better paced and the action scenes were more entertaining. I still love the original but I felt too much of it was spent watching Maguire trying to impress Dunst like this was some Girl Next Door type of movie. I know it had to be in there but that doesn't mean I had to of liked it.
