Great movie, a few things (from a TRUE Spidey comic fan)

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 2004)

I just saw Spiderman 2, and I think they did a great job. It's one of the best comic > big screen adaptations, along with X-men. Daredevil, The Hulk, and The Punisher were O.K.
I have a few things that I didn't like that much about the spiderman series so far though. I will list them here:
1. Main beef is that Spidey does not shoot webs out of his veins. This may have come up in the message board or forums or anywhere else, but I think it's the biggest scrupple with the translation. In the comics peter parker (as someone into science) develops "web shooters" out of a lever/shooting mechanism, using reservoir containers filled with a special sticky plastic or such that he created himself. This becomes a bigger point in SM 2, when spidey cant shoot his webs etc.
2. Along the previous lines, Spideys abilities are genetic. However in SM 2, it seems that he loses his abilities when he is under stress, confused, or perhaps depressed etc. In the Spidey comics I don't think there is ever a storyline where he loses his powers except when he is injected with some serum or attacked by a special power of a nemesis, etc....
3. Kisten Dunst as MJ. She IS PRETTY OK, but not as glamorous/special as the comic portrayal is (imo). She acts perfectly for the part though. I also had probs with Tobey Mcguire as spidey, but by part 2 it would be difficult to think of anyone else acting it - and maybe perhaps my comic book imagination of pete is being morphed more to Tobeys portrayal...
4. A few other minor points. Don't forget Gwen Stacey was Peter's first flame. She was killed by green goblin etc. Also, I hope in part 3 that we don't see a second green goblin, but maybe the hobgoblin....
I realize that a lot of these points have probably been made, but I just wanted to put my first post on IMDb out...
