I said it exactly 5 years ago, and say it again today:
We don’t need two hours of Spider-Man thwipping through the skyline. A Spider-Man movie should be low-budget—long, murky shots of Peter Parker sitting on his bed in his lonely apartment, head in his hands, fretting about his mixed-up life: What’s wrong with my best friend, Harry Osborn? Why do the police hate me? How can I tell my girlfriend who I really am?
And wasn’t it supposed to be the original clone story this time?
After the debacle of Superman Returns nothing surprises me anymore. American needs a hero.
It is weak that Topher Grace is playing Eddie Brock because EB was suposed to be huge and Topher Grace is like the size of my 13-year old niece.
I had it with the second movie, specifically the Christ-like scene with Spidey being carried over the heads of the subway, er, elevated train passengers and lowered to the floor. Damn you Raimi!
I'm fucking relieved it wasn't the original clone story. I hate clones!
Pish-posh. Spider-man 2 was bloody great, and that subway scene was a big part of what worked.
Sorry to hear the third one sounds confused, but if it sucks, it'll be the first bad movie Sam Raimi made in his life, including "For Love of the Game".
Nat,
I dug Spide 2 too.
My write up was in advance of Spidey 1.
Wow. It's like you can predict the future.
You wanted spiderman to be an indy drama-fest? Wotta bonehead you are. Whatever importance the melodrama had in spiderman or any other comic book originally, they wouldn't be comic books. It's a genre about cool guys flying around doing cool stuff, first and foremost. If you don't your comic book movies like that, stick with Ghost World.
"they wouldn't be comic books."
oops... should read "wouldn't be comic books without action."
