Superman The Movie is the single best superhero movie you've ever seen; you just like Spider-man 2 better it seems.

I thought Spidey 2 rocked! In the top 3 of superhero film, IMO (which does not include Superman, sorry Chris).
The physics issue... it's a Spider-Man movie, if I was worried about the physics, I wouldn't enjoy ANY of it.
The fact that Doc Oc was more than just a mustache-twriling villain is part of what made the movie so appealing.
MJ was less fickly than in 1, so no issue there for me.

That entire subplot could have been excised from the movie. It bugged the hell out of me.
Also MJ running in slow-mo in her wedding dress was unintentionally horrific.

Yeah, I have to go for the "lame" argument myself. I mean, I enjoyed it, it there were far too many moments that made me roll my eyes.
3 is looking good though. I really want to see that one.
Oh, I have to admit I did like the part at the end where he saves Mary Jane from getting crushed by the falling wall, showing himself sans mask in the process.
Peter: *holding the wall up* Hey.
Mary: Hey.
*pause*
Peter: This is really heavy.
I also enjoyed the whole train sequence. Even the overly emotional we-won't-tell-anyone-we-promise bit from the passengers. I know it was silly, but I still liked it. Maybe it was because a few seconds later they all tried to stand up to Doc Ock before he pointed out in spectacular fashion just how very, very stupid a plan that was.

I have so many gripes about the whole series, starting with not casting Nick Brendon & Charisma Carpenter as Peter & MJ!
• Why was Doc Ock creating a miniature sun in the middle of Manhattan, and not the vasty empty desert of New Mexico?
• Why did Doc Ock hurl a car at Peter if he wanted him (alive) to take him to Spider-Man?
The only reason Peter survived is because he is Spider-Man!
• More as I think of 'em.
A little thing that keeps gnawin' at me is that you don't see Peter's jaw move under the mask when he's talking.
Every animated version has shown that!

And for those who do like it (and given it's success, there are plenty, I'm sure), the extended edition came out on DVD this week.
