One of the Worst Comc Adaptations

Rating: 6/10 (16 January 2007)

Warning: if you can't stand an unpopular opinion, don't read this.
I really dislike this movie. Not to the point of hate, but close. Here's why.
Spiderman 2 is the worst comic adaptation i have seen. it is no where near what Spiderman was like in the comics. i shall use three points to explain the faults.
1. The "humor". This movie tries desperately to be funny, but all it does is ooze cheesy lines like "would you like some chocolate cake" and "this is heavy", both followed by awkward pauses. Let's not forget the horribly stupid "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" sequence! 2. The Romance. Sure, there is a romance story in the comics, but it's not so soap-operatic, and Peter Parker is no where near as love struck, love-lorn, or just plain awkward. He's not as whiny, either.
3. The storyline/action. First off, Doc Oc is supposed to be a bad guy, not a mind controlled good guy. second, where were Spidey's famous in-fight sarcastic quips? Not there. Spiderman losing his powers because he somehow isn't sure he want's to be a hero. NEWS FLASH! He ain't an empath: he can't control whether or not he has powers! Also, the children's reaction in the train was pathetic. "We won't tell." YOU ARE A 10 YEAR OLD WHO KNOWS SPIDERMANS SECRET IDENTITY, OF COURSE YOU'RE GONNA BRAG! The drastic overplay of the drama and the corniness of the humor just detract so much from the film.
Kirsten Dunce(yes, misspelled on purpose) has yet another horrid acting performance. Sure, the FX were great, for the 12 minutes of action that were in this daytime soap. I guess I should have just forgotten about the source material and enjoy this as a stand alone...p-UH-lease!Skip this and go watch Sin City or Hellboy, please!
