Graft acting abilities onto Kirsten Dunst? There are two rather large reasons why she was hired for the part, and neither were her acting abilities. Instead they were the show cases of the rain soaked shirt scene of the first movie, and are already firmly grafted into place.

The CGI looks kind of cartoonely, kind of like when you can tell during the burly brawl when they stopped using keano and started using the all cgi character. That being said ill still go see it...;-)
The CGI in Spiderman was just fine. Certainly better-looking than any stuntman-based attempts at superhero film-making that has come before.
If you disagree, kindly name three movies (apart from LOTR) which you think have better CGI than the Spider Man films, and we can commence to piss all over a favorite movie of yours.

I think the problem isn't with the animation, but with the goal. Spider-Man moves impossibley fast and ignores some basic physics. I think it is impossible to have a "person" spring 20 feet straight up into the air and not have it look cartooney. If we are going to enjoy the movie, we just have to suspend disbelief and accept that if there were a Spider-Man, then that is how he would move.

I love it. They put so much in the trailers now, that if you're shrewd you can usually tell which trailers actually represent the movie, and which are a collection of nothing but the best 2 minutes of the entire movie and the rest is downhill from there.
But I've never cared about spoilers. I read at least two or three reviews for almost any movie before I see it, to make sure I want to spend the $15 it costs now just for a ticket, popcorn and a drink plus two hours of my time not including all the adverts at the beginning... Anyway, I've never had a trailer or even a review ruin a movie for me, even when I know the ending in advance.

Annoyed? How about totally pissed-off. I first noticed the give-away trailer format all the way back with "Throw Momma from the Train". There were 3 different commercials they were showing on TV and if you'd seen them all, then you saw almost every physical gag they did in the movie. Very disappointing, particularly as ticket prices keep going up the net effect is we are paying for less and less as the trailers reveal more and more.
The trailer for Hellboy, which I've not seen yet, seems to give a good mix of enticement and still not be a complete give-away. The Hildalgo trailer, however, looks like it shows way too many of the dramatic parts.

Well then you should try going to a movie without knowing the plot. It's a totally different experience. I HATE trailers, and try never to watch them... I try to turn my attention to something else during the trailers before a movie.
I like to go watch a movie just on advice from friends whose tastes I trust, and go watch it without reading a single thing about it and only having been told that they enjoyed it. Try it.
For instance I saw Bruce Almighty and when the guy met God and whatever, I was totally amazed cause I didn't see it coming at all... I also watched The Butterfly Effect and enjoyed it a lot more than my friends cause the plot totally surprised me, I had no idea what it was about.
From my point of view, trailers suck, and so do reviews. They just serve to ruin the movie.

I really hope they listened to Mr. Lee on this one. He's sorta the guy behind spidey, and he had some sound advice on how the first movie coulda been a bit better. His argument as to the necessity of Peter Parker "making" his web solution and shooter mechanism made for some good sense, and for him to point out that William Defoe was a superb actor and, thus, should have had his face shown while in "Goblin" mode is something the director should have figured out first.
With makeup and CGI like it is, Defoe could have easily had his own face used without a hitch, and being the actor he is it would have been far better than the stupid mask.
Of course, people need to keep in mind that these movies are only "based" on the actual comics and Lee, et al., are not fully consulted....

I have to disagree with you. The old trailer told us nothing about the movie, and made us think that maybe Doc. Oc knows who Spider-man really is.
The new trailer explains that he doesn't really know that. He only knows that Parker can get Spider-man, because that's what Green Goblin's son told him.
It's pretty easy to figure out most of the movie then:
Parker's life is messed up by being Spider-man, so he quits doing it.
Green Goblin's son wants to find Spider-man, since he "killed his dad".
Doc. Oc is created in goblin's lab by accident.
Goblin's son tells him to find Spider-man, by going through Parker.
Doc. Oc kidnaps MJ to get Spidey.
Spidey comes back and gets his ass kicked by Oc, who then delivers him to Goblin's son.
From there on it's pretty much guesswork but it's pretty easy to guess that Spidey wins at the end and gets the girl.
Granted, I wasn't expecting a masterpiece, but it'd be nice not to know most of the plot of the movie from watching one trailer.

That's the fine line for the industry; I think with a franchise like Spiderman, the movie will be fun regardless of what plot details leak... I mean it's an action movie, so the total experience is what you're paying for, unlike other movies where the plot matters much more (because it's all some generes have, plot), while the action/comic genre offers more in terms of the experience. Spiderman 1 was very pleasing, but the Hulk was missing plot/char development. I think Spiderman 2 will be better, but I won't know for sure until after I've seen it in theatres (and hence the catch 22 of all moviegoers today, really). Downloading the trailer now...

My 2 cents:
Superman - Classic. Great. But didnt have the technology to bring the movies to their full potential. Story started to fade as it approached the later movies. Didn't fully capture the superman comic.
Batman - First one was great, possibly one of the best Comic book Movies EVER. The rest...well you've seen them. Storyline altered to make it more entertaining.
X-Men - Fantastic movies. Very entertaining to watch. Difficult comic to convert into a movie series b/c of the huge personalities of every character. There is no way to capture the true greatness of the comic books without having 5 LOTR length movies.
Spiderman - First one was fantastic. Showed the depth of Peter Parker, Mary Jane and Harry Osborn. Only time will tell if the second movie can bring story together while still keeping us entertained. All the conflicts that Spiderman/Peter must face with Mary Jane and Harry will truely be interesting if done right. In addition, we have Dr. Octavus being introduced which is one of my favorite comic villians[possibly making my opinion bias:-)].

Before entering the cinema, I thought I'll hear some kind of remixed spiderman music (like in MI2), but I was very disappointed. Music is really part of my memories about the cartoon (yeah, I know, you couldn't hear it in the comics. Whatever).
I read the book, and I have no intention of watching the movie now. In the book, at the end, it was so obvious how they forced it to leave and open ending to then milk more cash in a sequel.

You'd think after two major mishaps at Oscorp that resulted in insane super-criminals that they'd at the very least have their QS9000 certification revoked!
Yah, actually, I think it looks like they really recreated the comic book pictures really well... That costume in the alley trash can as he walks away in the rain is a really good recreation of the drawing in the comic books... (Amazing Spiderman #50, pg 8, if anyone cares)
