All the Things I Hated & Loved About Spiderman 2!
WARNING: Do not read if you haven’t seen Spiderman 2 and plan to do so…
I was going to avoid writing this, but I couldn’t fight it anymore, so here goes: All the Things I Hated & Loved About Spiderman 2!
(*and when I say “all the things”, I just mean the stuff I had the time and patience to write up)
Hated: The fact Mary Jane’s eyes are still blue
Loved: They alluded more to Peter’s intelligence
Hated: That everybody and they mama saw behind the mask
Loved: They showed Spidey’s ingenuity when trying to avoid a crisis
Hated:He still doesn’t have webshooter’s; this takes away from the intelligence and drama of Spiderman. He made his own webshooter’s, and has to be creative when battling enemies and runs out of web fluid.
Loved:They actually showed how comical J Jonah Jamison is, and how compassionate Robbie is…just can’t see Radio Raheem as Robbie is all
Hated: They once again altered the origin of a classic marvel villain, namely Doc Ock.
Loved: Loved that if they were going to alter his origin, they did it in the way they did
Hated:they pushed the relationship between Peter and Mary Jane so fast. I heard there’s going to be as many as 6 installments, what’s the rush?! Ever heard of Gwen Stacy or Felicia “Black Cat” Hardy?!?!?!
Loved: They let Mary Jane refer to Peter as “Tiger”; that’s her “pet name” for Peter in case ya didn’t know.
Hated: They made Spidey so strong, not to mention his webbing. He can punch the shit out of Doc Ock and do next to nothing, yet hold up a big ass wall like he’s Samson? Huh?!
Loved: They gave the script a funnier edge to it.
Hated: There was virtually no reference to his Spider sense. With the exception of the cab through the window incident, they really let him get slapped…twice…hard, and they let him get trampled on campus. Oh wait, he did do that flip off of the mo-ped. That’s twice.
Loved: They showed how Spidey has to deal with every day BS like the rest of us. No other super hero deals with that quite like Spidey. Batman is filthy rich, Superman is…well…Superman (Shit, he even has a Fortress of Solitude if he wants to get away)…and the Justice League, X- men, Avengers, Teen Titans, and Fantastic Four either live in a huge mansion or in a even larger Tower in the middle of the city. Peter Parker has either lived at home with Aunt May, or in a loft apartment in Soho.
Other Notes:: Umm, what happened to Flash Thompson?; What was the point of them actually having John Jamison in the movie?; Was I the only one that fell out laughing when Peter said the line, “I’m in love with Mary Jane”? Four words: I’m Rick James, Bitch!; Why did Spidey keep falling on his head??? He's not going to survive 100 foot drops...on his head no less! Who's going to be the first Marvel movie to have another super hero cameo running through the background? Do you know how many super heroes live in New York? A lot...
More later…
