They did the whole "the people of the city actually love Spider-Man" in a way more effective way in Spider-Man 2. Same message, way less cheese.I watched Spider-Man 1 and 2 back to back this past weekend, and the jump in effects between 1 and 2 is pretty huge. 2 looks just infinitely better. And it also doesn't climax with tough, no-nonsense New Yorkers pelting Doc Ock with trash.
