Review of Spiderman 2

Once again with “Spider-Man 2” we are presented with another comic

based film from a long line of Marvel adaptations created for the big

screen. Of course, following the excitement created by the release of

the first film “Spider-Man”, there have been various rumours shadowing

the sequel’s production and casting. But these rumours did not seem to

affect the final production as the film’s storyline, plot, and

dialogue were excellent. The special effects were astounding and the

songs, composed by Danny Elfman, fitted each scene’s particular mood

to perfection. All of these points made the end result downright

spectacular. It’s hard to believe that a summer movie, and a sequel at

that, could be one of the most entertaining superhero movies that have

been created.

The story begins a year on from the last film and Spider-Man's got

problems a plenty. In Spider-Man 2, his powers are failing him; Mary

Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) is engaged to another man; his best

friend, Harry Osborn (James Franco) blames Spider-Man for his father's

death; he's been fired from his job as a pizza delivery boy; he's

failing his college science class an cannot seem to keep up with his

rent. And who thought superheroes had it easy? Also Peter is

struggling to find who he is supposed to be: Peter Parker, or

Spider-Man. After doubting himself to such an extent, his

extraordinary powers start to fail, which involves his webbing

clogging mid-swing and falling off 20ft walls after suddenly losing

his climbing abilities. After a few more similar accidents Peter

eventually decides that enough is enough and drops his heroic alter

ego altogether and lead a normal life like everyone else. But Peter

slowly comes to realize that the city needs Spider-Man, not just to

prevent crime, but to provide the hope of saviour to those who need

his help.

The special effects in the film are much more realistic than in the

first as Spider-Man looks more human as he swings in and out of the

    The true test of a film’s greatness is time. The 1984 science-fiction/comedy classic, Ghostbusters, has stood the test of time, producing both a sequel (in 1989) and a hit cartoon series. Ghostbusters is the story of three offbeat scientists interested in paranormal matters: Peter Venkman (played by Bill Murray), Raymond Stanz (played by Dan Aykroyd), and Egon Spengler (played by Harold Ramis), who have just lost their university grant, and are suddenly forced out onto the streets of New York. What will they do now to survive? After taking a third mortgage out on Ray’s family home, Peter, Ray, and Egon decide to pursue the idea of catching and containing ghosts in the private sector. Their business, fittingly named: “Ghostbusters”, starts out slow, but quickly the word spreads of their ghost investigation and extraction services. Within seemingly no time at all, the Ghostbusters are a hot commodity in New York where ghost activity is on the rise.

  • Kiss Of The Spider Woman Analysis

    990 Words  | 2 Pages

    People have and always will enjoy a good read. The success of classics such as William Shakespeare’s, Romeo and Juliet, and The Merchant of Venice validate this. Modern authors are no exception to this ideology. In Manuel Puig’s 1976 hit, Kiss of the Spider Woman, the audience is introduced to two characters that inevitably fall into situations of adventure, romance, and deception. These elements are embedded in human kind’s tales all across the ages. The first of the two protagonists, Molina, is an easy-going, homosexual window dresser. Meanwhile, the second of the two protagonists, Valentin, is a non-homosexual, hot-blooded, political anarchist. These two are polar opposites who, in the wilderness of society, do their best to avoid each other’s presence; but being trapped in a prison cell together doesn’t give too much space for options. As the book’s title suggests, there is Spider, and therefore, there must be prey. The question is who is who?

    Even in death, Peter cannot escape ridicule. At a time when everyone is supposed to celebrate his life and mourn his death, they are still mocking Peter. He is still the punch line to cruel jokes. At one point, a funeral attendee speculates that the reason the casket is closed is because “he was in there in a big wig and heels” (Doty 11/12). Peter was being judged at his own funeral. That is pathetic. No one should have to endure that, but Peter did. This poor individual was told that he “asked for it” (Doty 16). “It” is referring to death. He was just...

  • Character Analysis Of Miles Morales As Spider-Man

    842 Words  | 2 Pages

    Okay, Sam Wilson is one example; but, we also have Miles Morales who is the new African-American Spider-Man; but, not only that, he is in (was) an interracial relationship with Kaite Bishop. That itself shows a little more diversity as well with Miles. The difference we see here is that although he is essentially replacing the past Spider-Man who was Caucasian, it 's not necessarily mentioned or you don 't necessarily think about it too much. What is important about Spider-Man is that each one has distinct personality traits, they do not attempt to make every single one the same. With Sam Wilson, I somehow think they want to make him old Cap, no matter how hard they deny it. Cap has one single personality and to change it would be to change the entire Captain America character. His name is what he does, what he stands for and what he lives for. With Spider-Man, there is more leeway to do what you want with new characters:

  • Review of movie Wall Street

    838 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the big city of New York there always exist those who push the envelope a bit, and stretch the law. One such man played by Michael Douglas makes money buying and selling others' dreams. He is a stock speculator; but one that succeeds based on illegal inside information. As he puts it "I make nothing, I own" Released in 1987, Oliver Stone's Wall Street is a representation of bad morals and poor business ethics in the business world. It also shows the negative effects, bad morals and poor business ethics can have on society. The film revolves around the actions of two main characters, Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) and Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas). Bud is a young stockbroker who comes from a working-class family and Gekko is a millionaire who Bud admires and wants to be associated with. Wall Street points out how wrong it is to exchange morality for money. Gordon Gekko reflects this message, and yet receives a standing ovation at a stockholders meeting after delivering his "greed is good" speech. The underlying theme of the movie is that greed is not only not ethical but it lacks moral substance in today?s society.

  • Movie Review : Video Games

    1250 Words  | 3 Pages

    Pixels is a new movie in the genre of science fiction-action-comedy or games to movies genera. But like many of the movies beforehand in this minor genera of movies it stunk getting hammer with bad review and horrid scores, a good synopsis of why this movie was even created can be found in Roy Graham review of the movie this movies Pixels from this review it can be seen that Roy Graham knows a lot about 2 things 1 is movies the other is video games so from this interesting perspective we can see how the media incorrectly illuminates gaming in the current day. Pixels is movie about an group of outcast who just want to be accepted for what they love to do which in this case is play video games. The movie then goes on to an alien invasion in the form of retro video game characters, and conventional military weapons and tactics prove useless, and so the group of outcast nerds must band together and stop this alien threat, no not the trained military or professionals just a bunch of nerds. Now with a plot this flimsy people might ask how could a film on this idea even be consider for a film? Simple, because producers know people will at least go see it if it has some of their old favorite video game characters in it. They know it’s a safe market and that there less of a risk working with something that already has a pre-established fan based. This is why there are a lot of movies about video games out there and why they all pretty much suck. These 2 exclusive types of content need to be treated as such, 2 complete different things that should have no major correlation with one another. This is why movies about video games will continue to be made and they will also continue being terrible pieces of film.

    To fight crime, Peter needs a costume and a mask of some sort to hide his identity. He is a pretty good artist and draws his costume that he wants. Since Peter doesn’t have much money, he decides to make his own costume. My question is how Peter could possibly know how to make a spandex costume to fit him perfectly, and look awesome without any flaws? Just because he has super human powers doesn’t mean he can design and make a costume as perfect as his. I don’t think a lot of people take this into consideration. But if Peter had it made by a company of some sort, it would be fairly easy to trace and find who owns/ordered the costume. I think the creators knew about this, but didn’t know how to solve the problem so they just kind of skipped it. On the other hand, I like how the creators of Spider Man didn’t give him an endless budget, like Batman.
