We took my neice and nephew to see Spiderman 2 last night. I was kind of surprised how dark (and long) it was. Some fast paced action, but alot of gut wrenching dispair too. I didn't see the first one, so I didn't have anything to compare it to, but it was not what I expected at all. The kids (9 & 11) thought it was "ok, kinda boring at times". It was ok, but a bit too intense for kids.
