Go watch Spider-Man. That\'s all I gotta say.

[videoholic]

I saw the movie last night.  I\'m at the parentals this weekend, so they took care of the log.  I thought it was pretty darn good.  Wasn\'t as hokey as I thought it could have been.  Tobey did a good job as PP.  THey just need to keep that guy from doing interviews.

Theater was very empty though for a Friday night.  I guess everyone saw it last weekend here.

I\'m in the miniortiy here. I could not get over the massive flaws in the movie. What flaws, you ask?

1) The oufits was terrible. Did anyone else experience a weird moment when Spider-Man and The Green Goblin was talking to each other and you could not see their jaws move? It was very disturbing and pulled me away from the movie.

2) The CGI of Spidey swinging around was terrible. I honestly have to wonder how much money Sony invested in the CGI. There was just something terribly wrong with it.

3) Kirsten Dunst is a terrible Mary Jane.

4) They ruined the Green Goblin with this new suit. At least Dafoe done the best he could with the situation.

5) Bruce Campell should of never been in the movie.


I can come up with plenty more...I guess I will sum it up. It\'s no Superman or Batman film (the first one of each series was the best!). However, it was better than the terrible and I do mean terrible X-men movie.

yeah but LIC 99.9% of the time your in the minority.

Out of the all the things there are to complain about this is one of the chief problems:rolleyes:

SPIDER-MAN\'S uncle, Ben Parker, talks about being laid off "after 23 years as the head electrician." Later he makes a hash of stripping an electrical cord. No wonder they laid him off.

PETER Parker attempts to climb a building for the first time but his clothes hang forward, a clear sign the scene was filmed with him crawling along a floor.

IN the same scene his shoes are different when he is on the wall compared to when he is on the roof.

PETER runs out to catch a bus with a backpack over his shoulder. In the next scene it disappears. His hair is flat and sweaty after running, but when he\'s tripped by a fellow student, his hair is suddenly blow dried and perfect.

HE shoots his web, smashing a bedroom lamp. Seconds later the lamp is back on the dresser in one piece.

SPIDER-MAN throws two people through a window. Moments later the window is intact.

THE owner of a newspaper firm talks about how he thinks Spider-Man is a criminal. A woman to the right of him is holding an envelope which disappears and reappears again.

PETER is talking to Mary Jane outside a diner. The same man walks across the background three or four times. In the same scene, a black car also makes a few passes.

TOWARDS the end of the movie a cable car has Universal Pictures on its side. When you see the car the second time, it says Roosevelt Line.

IN a scene where Peter is chasing a robber, the robber is holding the gun in his left hand and carrying the money bag in his right. In the next shot you see him load a clip into the gun with the bag in his left hand and the gun in his right.

WHEN Peter is learning about his new improved eyesight, he takes off and puts on his glasses a few times. The screen turns fuzzy - but what you see through the glasses should be fuzzy, not the area around the glasses.

MARY Jane\'s knickers stick out above her trousers as she walks towards Peter, seconds later they disappear.

AT school, Peter dumps the food tray on Flash. His shirt is covered with food, but in the next scene Flash\'s shirt is clean.

IN one scene a tram filled with kids is in danger. The kids are yelling, but the adult behind them isn\'t yelling and looks bored.

IN every other version of Spider-Man - comics, cartoons, films, games - Spider-Man gets his web from web cartridges, not his wrists.

Also, if he could shoot web from his wrists, how is it that he can shoot through clothing without making a hole?

HARRY talks to Mary Jane on the phone. She hangs up on him and his mobile phone produces a dial tone. Mobiles do not have a dial tone.

DURING a fight between Peter and the man who kills Ben, the killer has a gun in his hand. After being knocked around he loses his gun and produces a switch knife from his pocket. But in the next shot he has the gun in his hand again.

A BALCONY at a youth festival collapses, and Harry Osborne is struck on the left side of his head by falling debris. In the scene following this, Harry has a bandage on the RIGHT side of his head.

JUST before the Green Goblin takes off his mask at the end, his visors are up, allowing his eyes to be seen. But after he dies, the visor is down.

MARY Jane is holding a martini glass in her hand as she talks to Harry. In the rest of the scene she is holding a champagne glass.

AUNT May suffers three small cuts on her face after a blast. Later, the cuts have changed position.

IN the school canteen Peter notices a fork stuck to his hand. His spider bite has vanished, but in the next scene it\'s back.

DURING the wrestling scene a cage is lowered around the ring for the match. The announcer instructs the assistants to lock the doors of the cage. There are no doors.

WHEN Peter and Mary Jane are talking outside the diner, her trenchcoat collar is first lying flat, then is tucked in, then is flat.

NORMAN Osborn (Willem Dafoe) prepares for the supersoldier experiment and is seen wearing a watch on his left hand. When he removes his shirt, the watch isn\'t there.

PETER Parker looks at Mary Jane and Harry Osborne on the balcony. All three people, especially Parker, appear with their hair parted on one side, then the other, and then back again.

MARY Jane is seen closing her jacket in the diner, but when she turns around it\'s open.

PETER leaves a house with Uncle Ben. When Ben gives him a ride to the Library, Peter has nothing in his hands. When he leaves the car, he\'s carrying a brown paper bag.

I can\'t verify these errors, as I haven\'t seen the film.

But maybe those of you have seen/ or are about to see it could keep your eyes open.

I wonder how you could sit and enjoy any movie without being bothered by little stupid things in each movie.

That\'s so very true. I went and seen Panic Room the same day I saw Spider-Man and the funny thing was, everyone who went with me hated Panic Room and loved Spider-Man. However, I was on the other side of the situation, as I thought Panic Room was an excellent movie and Spider-Man was medicore.

Out of the all the things there are to complain about this is one of the chief problems:rolleyes:

 I think it was. It was a very odd sequence that should of been noted in development. I mean, you have the two main character\'s talking to each other, yet you can\'t see them talking. This results in a very odd sequence and that just pulls the viewer away from the movie, in my humble opinion. It almost felt like a cheesey flick with bad voice overs.

I can come up with plenty more...I guess I will sum it up. It\'s no Superman or Batman film (the first one of each series was the best!). However, it was better than the terrible and I do mean terrible X-men movie.

1 - well I got the same wierd feeling, however having the goblins jaws move would actually have annoyed me more, moving metal lips would just have been silly.

2 - The cgi was very good, however currently there\'s only so much you can do, a character that can move like Spiderman is pretty hard to create. It was only when he moved very fast or did some wierd moves when I felt it looked too cgi-ish.

3 - I agree there, Kirsten is someone I don\'t really like. She did the job as MJ fine, but I think there would have been someone out there who could have done the job better. A natural redhead maybe.

4 - I think the suit shouldn\'t have looked so robot-ish, but I let this one slip because it was simply more belivable to have a suit like that instead of the classic green one. I saw some concept sketches a while back, where the goblin looked like the perfect blend between the goblin and the movies robo goblin. With a touch of horror-ish spikes coming from his arms. That one would have been better I think.

5 - Bruce Campell is god, and anything he does is gold. That\'s all I have to say about that.

The thing I hated most about the spidey costume was how the black web came out of the red, it looked too out of place, if it wouldn\'t be so high it would be better, however I loved how the blue had scales instead of being completly flat.

Actually there were many other departures from the original comic book story, but it remained more faithful than just about any other movie based on a comic character.  Examples:

In the comic, it was Gwen Stacey, not Mary Jane Watson, who was captured by the Green Goblin, carried to a tower of the Washington bridge, and thrown off.  There was no conflict between "saving the girl or saving the cable car full of children."  Spiderman managed to catch Gwen before she hit bottom, but she died anyway.

In the comic, Harry Osbourne goes temporarily crazy after dropping acid, and Norman Obsbourne blames Parker/Spiderman for his son\'s situation.  I don\'t have all the details, but that wasn\'t in the movie.

Well, of course there were some departures from the comics, but overall, it was clear they tried to keep the movie close to the comics.  For example, in the comics, when he is impaled by his glider, it is on the bridge, not where ever they were in the movie.  And yeah, Norman Osbourne does come back to life or whatever due to his healing power, but that is later.  Remember, they are going to make more Spider Man movies, and they may deal with this in them.

I haven\'t seen the movie just yet- what part does Bruce Campbell play?

im just trying to think, is bruce campbell "ash" in evil dead films... i cant remeber....



i though that norman osborn ( the father ) was the hob gobiln, and his son harry turned into the green goblin.....



i think thats the right names

Nope, Hob Goblin was some guy who stumbled upon the Osborn\'s Greengoblin equipment, and modified it to become the Hobgoblin. There was also a Demogoblin who appeared during Maximum Carnage saga (one of the best, IMO), and a Jack o\' Lantern guy.

I remember Bruce Campbell was Ash in the Evil Dead series. That\'s why I was excited when he was narrating the Spider-Man game. Does he have a role in the SM movie?

Bruce Campbell has the small role of the Ring Anouncer during Spider-Mans wrestling match

brce campbell= narrator.. not stan lee..........??!!! in stan lee voice " well spidey fans, seems spidermn has got himself in another mess, lets see how he gets out f this" etc etc.......



i wanna see  this film soon!!!!



am i right in thinkin that gwen stacey, is blonde and later on in the comics turns into... the black cat.. or something like that.. or am i thinking of something completely different

your thinking of another female character enitrely

lol.... man all this alcohol, is effecting my memory
