Spiderman 2 - Traditionalists Rejoice Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] (#13) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Scott Paterson) on Mon, 19 Jul 2004 11:53:51 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'm not a huge comic book fan, but I do like about a half a dozen graphic novels such as The Dark Knight Returns. Batman Year One, The Killing Joke, Electra, Sin City, Hard Boiled, Ronin, and The Watchmen. I only casually read Spiderman from time to time so I knew the basic plot... Anway, after being insulted by idiotic Batman movie after idiotic Batman movie, I have got to say that they got the Spiderman movie right, in a big way. It's not goofy - the plot works, the inner struggle between responsibility and living one own's life is magically translated to film and conveyed to audience... it's a must see film if only to see it as an example of how to correctly translate a comic book legend into a real life movie. And, it's a fun, action packed movie.
My only disappointment was that they had to hint to the return of a dumb enemy... Anyway, Spiderman 2 is twice 4X better than Spiderman 1 was too - so, if you at all liked that one in any way shape or form, you'll definitley like this one.
