I was very pleased with Spiderman 2 - it was an excellent movie and I walked away with all my hopes and desires fully satiated :) I can't believe we have to wait until 2007 for Spiderman 3 however... I need more Spidey now I tell ya!
It's pretty obvious who they've set up for the next movie, of course, but I had a slight musing of another couple villains that they may be subtely trying to sneak in for the next movie...
*SPOILERS*
The symbiote that would eventually go on to create Venom was from space (during the Secret Wars). The movie seemingly kept trying to make a point that John Jameson was an astronaut and had been to the moon. He also now has the motivation to really, really hate Peter Parker... perhaps something came back with him on his trip? Granted, John Jameson isn't Eddie Brock (the identity of Venom is the comic books) but the groundwork is there and Sam Reimy hardly seems shy about changing the origins of the characters (and he shouldn't be, some things just don't work as well in the movies and I've been rather pleased with the way he creates the villains so far). In any case, just a little thought I had ;)
Of course, then there's the obvious one: Peter's teacher in the movie is Dr. Curt Connors... also the identity of the Lizard in the comic books.
So Hobgoblin, Venom, and Lizard verse Spidey in Spiderman 3? :) Maybe Doc Ock didn't die (it was indeed pretty ambigious) and comes back to help out Spiderman? Ahh, so many possibilities.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
