Let's see how much this one will gross with a 5 day weekend. Spider-Man 2 My main grievance with this movie is this: Too much plot, too little action. Yeah, OK. Spider-Man finds himself yadda yadda yadda, so on and so forth. But the main villain, D'Octopus was only on screen for like 40 minutes. And most of that time was plot building. Overall, there was probably only about 10-15 minutes of actual fighting. I wont spoil too much of the plot for you, seeing as it is the major part of this movie. But the jist of it is this: Peter Parker struggles to find himself, while Doc Ock tries to blow up NYC. Mary Jane gives up on Peter and is engaged to John Jameson, who, as Spider-Man fans should know, brings Venom back from space. If you didn't know that, I'm sorry, but I probably just ruined the plot of Spider-Man 3. After Googling for "spiderman villains" I found this informative site: http://www.efavata.com/CBM/Spiderman3.htm And I quote . . . "while in space J.J. Jameson's son will be infected by some weird alien organism. The alien will travel back to earth with him and J.J. Jameson's son will either become VENOM or Peter will be infected with VENOM and go on a rampage. Either way Spider Man will have to KILL J.J. Jameson's son/Mary Jane's husband in the end, which will bring Peter and Mary-Jane back together again. " I already see some things wrong with that. However I will not point them out to those of you who have not seen Spider-Man 2. Once you have seen it, the faults will become clear. So there definitely is going to be a Spider-Man 3, no surprise there. And it looks like Harry will be 'involved', along with Venom, and possibly, though this might be too much for one movie, Doc Connors (Peter's professor) as Lizard. We shall see on May 4, 2007, so says the site. Overall: I give this movie a half barrel of monkeys. It's still good and all, but it's not as much fun as a full barrel of monkeys. Book of Wise Pohl, Chapter 8, Verse 52: I'm not the Budweiser Donkey, but I approved this message. *Note: all my Spdier-Man knowledge was based on the cartoon tv show which I watched in the wee hours of my saturday mornings of my youth.
Comments:
Yes. Yes it does. Does everything from the Book of Wise Pohl have to be completely practical and relavent?
I have a feeling the main plot of Spider Man 3 will be HobGoblin, not Venom. There are so many enemies in this series that they have to skipa bunch of them, and i have a bad feeling Venom and Carnage are two of them, or maybe a spiderman 4?
my bad, thought Harry went Hob, he goes green... but anyhow Green Goblin will be in the plot for #3 ill put money on it, if only you guys knew who i was????????
