Nacht,
Actually, this is something that's been hit on in the recent Ultimate comics...
Sure they saw his face, but this is New York. He's just another average-looking white kid. In the Ultimate series, the Kingpin takes off his mask and gets confused, because he was thinking who "Spider-Man" was would be obvious, like he would be famous or he'd know him. In S2, they touch on this as well, saying "he's just a kid" and things to that end. They could see him walking down the street a day later and not make the connection, me thinks.

Where do you get "two" people that know whom he is? Did we forget the TRAINLOAD of people that now know whom Spider-Man is? ;)

mra,
I'll go one up on your Spidy Vs. Shelob question.
Let's get the scientists that experimented with the spider that bit Peter, to experiment on Shelob!

Missed the Freeze Frame.:(
The newspaper office reminded me of "Superman". You know, a secret superhero at anewspaper with a mean boss.
I believe the -Does Aunt May know- issue was left ambiguous intentionally.
It's good that they had a "should I reveal my identity" theme in this movie. They had to have one, and it's good they got it outof the way by the second movie. Watching "Lois and Clark" ten years ago, I got sick of that issue coming up every single week.
So who do you think would win in a fight between Spiderman and Shelob?;)

I'm a little late on this, but I'd like to chime in on how good this movie is. Not only is it exciting, it's more human and humane than most any other superhero movie around. What's more, it's better by far than the first "Spider-Man." In fact, it's the first superhero movie since Tim Burton's original "Batman" that I'd be more than willing to award a 10/10 rating. Hard to see how the series is going to get any better.

John, agreed. If Spiderman 3 somehow defies all odds and be the same quality as Spidey 2, I think we may have a contender for one of the best movie trilogies ever.
I really hope Raimi and co. is able to top it off with a beautiful 3rd movie.

Wow, John! I feel as you do. I saw this last weekend and was simply astonished on how well it came across. I had heard people say it seemed better than the first, but I just didn't think much of it until I would see it myself.
Needless to say, I was more than surprised. I thought it was remarkably close to how I felt with Burton's first Batman movie. Spider-man 2 came across more as a serious drama to me than some super hero action flick. There was actually some very interesting character development; far more so than the first installment. A lot more in-depth dialog that helped to alleviate that silly, campy tension I usually feel with this genre of films.
Let me also mention that I enjoyed the villain in this installment, much more than the first Spider-man. The Goblin was too corney for me, but this new bad-guy was far more interesting. We got to see the good side of him and he developed a kind of history that Burton was always able to show us in his Batman films. Not to mention, I think he will be a far more memorable villain character in any Spider-man film.
My rating would be 9/10. Definately better than the first and just an all-around good movie.

Tim,
I agree with you. What an amazing movie. I really loved the villain in this one far better as well. However I give William Dafoe's performance in the first film a little more credit. I think maybe his lines were cheesey here and there, but Dafoe's performance was well done. He's an excellent actor. Spider Man 2 had everything you could want in a movie. It seemed to be right on the money. Not too much of one thing, not too little of another. This will be one of the classic's that you can watch over and over for years to come.
