Roger Ebert be damned he lies.

Rating: 5/10 (30 June 2004)

My only conclusion is that Roger Ebert has sold out and really doesn't Judge movies. First and foremost the movie I am talking about is Spider-Man two, A movie that has been advertised as the greatest super hero movie ever by one of the "Reputable" critics in the land Roger Ebert. I will Not make the mistake and judge the movie by the comic books it is a mistake often done and I don't agree. What I will say is check out Spider-man since it is one of those critic proof movies and it won't matter what I say. When you see the movie though look for these things NO SPOILERS AHEAD. One see if the beginning does,t do a great job of setting up a premise advertised on every poster and commercial shown "CHOICE" after that see if half way the movie just forgets the beginning and adds just foolishness, some comical scenes that take up time instead of tieing together the movie. Second, check out the production value and see if certain this are left out to make spider man more plain or vulnerable Power wise, rather than adding actual plot twist to combat it. Third towards the end watch as the plot and the characters just become flung towards the ends of the universe, as point and main objectives of the movie aren't met or questioned. Last check for very predictable and boring points making spider man a two bit B film with bad effects to boot, they shoot many seens shadowy just cause when day light hits the scene looks power.
Spider Man is a poor attempt to show what an everyday super hero would be. Instead much like the director who did Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban it only shows the limitations of the people directing and producing these movies. It is obvious their imaginations or budget did not match what these stories truly needed. On top of that the wholes created in the plot just to move it along for a sequel is disgusting and pathetic, part of that comes from me reading the comic, Guess Micheal morbius, Mysterio and others will not be there Bye Bye KRaven, but away from the comic it just makes the movie feel awkward and rushed. Spider man 2 was more like a montage of swings and short fight scenes than actual movie scenes and footage. I am sure people will like it no matter what but it you go in there and watch it with an open mind you will see that it is very poorly done and Sam Rami is out of his element. STICK WITH HERCULES AND XENA!
