While on vacation, we saw both Harry Potter 3 and Spider-Man 2. Both exceeded their predecessors by a good measure. [To watch HP2 actually makes me angry.]
The new director in HP3 made a huge difference - the film had much more life and energy. Spider-Man 2 just felt like it got a new director - or at least he finally figured out that it's hard to form any emotional attachment to a masked character, so the antagonist is maskless and Spidey pulls his off whenever possible. The setup for Spider-Man 3 doesn't have me hooked, although I'm sure I'll see it.
