I remember the time when we as kids used to sit in front of TV hours before we hear our favorite song and cartoon serial – Spiderman… Spiderman… friendly neighborhood Spiderman… When I saw the first movie, I thought this is a good start, not an excellent one. When I saw the second movie I swear I did not have any intentions of being happy or satisfied.
How many of us go to any movie excepting things? Not many I have realized. But at least with Spiderman we expect swinging and jumping around and quality action. Well what happens in Spiderman 2 is a disaster. I go to the hall as exited as the seven-year-old sitting next to me and wait for the movie to start in all anticipation.
The first shock comes when Spiderman decided not to be Spiderman!! He wants to be a lover and a good boy with his aunt. He wants to earn a living by being a pizza delivery guy and make all dependent on him happy and go to a play and make his girlfriend happy. Educate him during the same time to earn well probably. I seriously thought what’s the difference between him and me? I do everything except make webs from the wrists and I am scared of heights.
And the second shock comes towards the end of the movie where Spiderman resorts to saving his girlfriend and indirectly asks the bad Doctor to save the world by sinking in with the reactor!! Hello man you are a hero you need to do both.
Final shock is that he revels his identity like the bad idea of this movie to everyone. Hey the kids in the train don’t have to tell you that they wont reveal your identity. A hero is some one who fights with his secrecy well protected for the safe keeping of his loved ones, like Superman, Batman, Cat Woman, Bat Girl, Phantom etc. etc. etc. Here our hero shows his face to a pack of citizens in train, girlfriend, close friend and villain who’s left the aunt. OK I know what happens MJ will tell his aunt who is Spiderman.
The Spiderman 2 has only 3 action swings, one in the local train, second during the climax; third yes oh yes the pizza delivery boy Spiderman. Hey come on you are Spiderman do what you do for a living off screen, do not use your super powers to deliver pizza and make Mr. Aziz happy. The whole movie was a real big shock hope the movie makers soon realize “WITH GREAT POWERS COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY” and do not make the same mistake of making a action hero into a lover boy in the next part of Spiderman.
Before I end I really fell in love with the girl next door to Spiderman who feeds him in anticipation of his innocent smile. Can somebody tell me what her name was on screen? Want to dedicate a small section on her on my web page.
