A comic movie with the comic soul

Rating: 8/10 (16 July 2004)

And finally, Yesterday I saw the movie. What could I say ? better than the first one ? NO! Worse than the first one ? NO! The movie follows exactly the same line of the first...it's reading the second number of the same comic. The tagline of the first one is certainly "with great powers comes great responsibility", the tagline of the second could be "but what comes with the power and the responsibility ?" As the final scene of the original could predict, NOTHING GOOD for Peter: no love, no friends, no school or job satisfaction. Have the responsibility to be Spider Man means that for the rest of your life, everything pass in second sight. You can't love because you could put your lover's wife in risk, you can't have friends because the only one that you have really hates your alter-ego, you can't be the good student that you wanna be because you have to save the world. I read in a comment about the movie that you can enjoy this one only if like see your hero unmasked, unmotivated and really sad. Well, is this a lack of the movie ? NO. because if you read the comic, that' s exactly how Peter's life is described. He's a very unlike character and the movie must not forget this! And in fact, doesn't forget. I, m not saying that this is a perfect movie (a couple of scenes could be avoided) but it's a really good comic movie. The soul of the comic is perfectly transported on the screen. This is the way that we wanna see Spider Man because that's the real one! Maybe the best reviews comes from Marvel fan just because they really appreciate every joke and every reminder of the comic filled in the movie but I really think that, for the other ones, it remains a very enjoyable picture. I repeat, there are lacks but as in the first one. Maybe sometimes Tobey Maguire isn't well acting, maybe sometimes Peter's lack of fortune could results too exaggerated but, I always repeat that this is the only one way the show the "real" Peter Parker, the one that you can find in every comic book.
