Spiderman Movie

I thought it was sux0rs. I've been a Spiderman fan for 20 years. Am I just being to picky and cynical? There are specific things I want to talk about but don't wanna spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen it. For those that have let me know if I am being to critical.

I give Spiderman

i agree...but i am happy they followed it 'by the book' more than the x-men movie.

I thought it was nice to have a little something unexpected in the film...after all, did you really want to know the entire plot before you got there? I'd rather they take some creative license. Stan Lee was part of the development team....are you gonna tell him he didn't make *his* character do the right things for the sake of continuity?

I just would have liked to see more action. When he was Spiderman it was good but that was like 20 minutes out of the entire movie. It could have used less story and more action. What was the big deal with leaving out the Web Shooters? It's such an important piece to Spiderman, I really thought that it was lame that it shot from his wrists/veins. Having said that, they laid down a llllloooonnnnnnnnngggggggg story. That would set it up pretty well for a sequel, except that they couldn't tie the villian in unless it was Harry as the second Green Goblin. I would have liked to see Eddie Brock make an appearance so they could have tied in Venom at some point in the future. I was just dissapointed that's all.

stan lee made a cameo appearence in x-men too...but im not sure if he was on the dev team or if he had any say on the storyline(i certainly hope not, cause x-men was a big dissapointment)

spider-man:
-yeah there were little things that werent followed 'by the book' but it was bearable...the most annoying was the web comming from the veins...they shoulda saved that for 'venom' which is one of the reasons why the 'bio-suit' was more deadly than 'ole 'web-head' himself...the home-made web-shooter in the comic books helped us relate to peter parker being very smart....running out of web-fluid and needing to replace the cartridges in the middle of a crisis helped us realize that he is still just a normal man forced into this super-hero role...

-i think going the route of 'introducing who spider-man is to the audience' was a well thought out route...now that people know who he is and has this 'bond' with the character...it will only contribute to the success of the up comming sequels...

i thought it was good, it's at least the best film i've seen so far this year, and that includes star wars episode 2

Dumb dahak, you and your pirated dvds....the rest of us have to see eppy II on Thurs. lol.

Anyway, i thought it was cool. But...the movie was ADAPTED from the comic books, so you can't expect everything to be the same, including the web shooters.

But anyone else think it was funny? Remember the time he went to the wrestling match? "THE HUMAN SPIDER" and we all expected to see the real costume...but we saw a lame home-made suit?

"Go Web!"
