I was just about to post about this as well but was debating if it should go in the Geek Forum.
I caught the midnight showing and I've had some time to dwell on the comments. WARNING, SPOILERS LAY AHEAD....
I struggeled with determining if this was actually better then the first one. The fight scenes were amazing. I don't know if I think Dr. Octopus was a better villian. I think the green goblins character was developed better and I love how they set up for the 3rd movie. There were some great comic releif moments in the movie.
Now for my issues. How could he (Spiderman) suddenly start loosing his powers. Now I can see being weak after exerting yourself or not getting enough sleep and not being able to shoot webs. But when he rescued that girl from the burning building, he ramed his shoulder into the door and said ow. That was stupid. His vision going back to bad so he needed his glasses, dumb.
When Dr. Octupus was coming they made these earthquake like sounds and made things shake. Those arms are supposed to be light weight, and I doubt he would be thrusting that much energy into just walking, even up a building. And what's with the predator like sounds those arms were making?
How great was it when they shot that scene on the elevator. It was perfect.
Overall it was a great movie, I look forward to the 3rd. But to me somethings just didn't make sense since his DNA is altered and he still experianced issues.
Well Jesse interestingly enough as I was walking out of the movie Adam and I got behind some real spider-man fanatics who were talking about exactly that, spider-man losing his powers and they were talking about how that really happened in one of the comics i heard them mention which one and what happened in it but I don't really remember what they said. Adam said he knew what they were talking about so maybe I'll ask him and see what he said.
Yeah I had a problem with the arms too, they always made so much noise and shook the ground like an earthquake but then there were a few times when they made no noise whatso ever.
well, when he was climbing buildings, the "earthquake" WAS appropriate because he wasn't just grabbing onto the walls. He was actually puncturing the walls as he climbed. Remember when that office woman went to look out the window to see what was shaking? She almost got impaled by one of those things!
Yeah, that was fine, but I'm talking when he was just walking down the street. Remember when they were sitting in the coffee shop and she was about to kiss him?
he may have been climbing down a building at that point... theoretically
Ok think that, if it makes you feel better. ;)
it does :`[
Even if that's the case in the part where he sneaks out he climbs down the building after getting what he needed and there is no noise of him climbing down.
As far as the elevator seen let me just say I was dying laughing. So funny.
i thought they kinda explained him losing his powers because it wasn't in his heart.
Thats a lame excuse though. His DNA has been altered, he is physically stronger and more durable. How do you lose that over an emotional issue?
arggh you just ruined the movie for me
Jesse strikes again. lol
I make sense though, right? :P
