There was atleast 4 superman films
I wanted to hate this movie, I can remember walking out at the end thinking what a load of cock. And Upon the second viewing .. we will not explain why, I began reviewing why I hated the film.
Direction was great, camera was excellent and the whole movie was pretty slickly put together not once did I think ..fucking hell ..get on with it.
Action scenes where amazing, fighting sideways on the train was exceptionally great touch. The whole movement of Doc. Oc. was amazing he even moved kinda like a octopus at times, all of the action was top notch.
Acting was actually pretty good. Even the smaller roles, like bruce campbell (on a side note 'Sweet jesus he's huge !') were all well acted.
I've pinpointed what I hated so much the first time round, the lines. The lines where fucking horrible. Toby maguire had to stand there looking like a wet fish while MJ spouted off all this redunant stalker type shit cause his lines where so bad he wasn't allowed to talk back, cuase he's a geek, which they really drove home the entire film. I remember the spiderman cartoon, yes he had money worries but he seemed to have no problems with school work.
I think they could have dwelled more on the certain aspects of the film. Like the whole telling Aunt May about how he blames himself, a wonderful no 'it's a feel good action film' cop out on that one was a masterstroke btw.
I began thinking of how I would have doen the film, for one toby maguire wouldn't be spiderman, bar the haircut he just doesn't cut it, excuse the pun. The Film would be a shit load darker, but that's not what spiderman is about, that's Batman-esque, spiderman isn't in constant emotional torment but, he remembers what he's done in the past and how he must never make the same mistakes agian, which he does throughtout this film. I say it again if I could have wrote the dialogue the only lines I would have kept would be 'go get 'em tiger' right at the end.
Is there anyone who doesn't know who Spiderman is after this film ?
