My dreams came true, but partially

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2010)

I watched almost all the episodes of classical Spider-Man animated series and I am familiar with the comic book, even if I did not read it, just a few of them. Like The original The Batman animated series, Spider Man animated series is a masterpiece, on all counts, characters, story, story editing, script, direction (or should I say drawings) etc. As for the adaptations, I have never thought that Sam Raimi is the right guy for this project. Yes, sometimes, there might be exceptions, an unexpected director gets an unexpected success, but I believe that someone who has a grasp of the field should take the project. However, as said, there might be some exceptions, positively or negatively, for example, Bryan Singer's X-Men movies were great and he seemed a perfect choice for Superman Returns, but it was a huge disappointment. Sam Raimi did a good job, but particularly. Spider Man 2 surpassed the first movie by far, but I had been almost sure for that, especially technically, so did not surprise. As for expectations (dreams) the movie meets some. Tobey Maguire makes us believe that he is Peter Parker /Spider Man and I have no complaint about that, but pretty different from the original character, not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of personality. The original Peter Parker character is beefy, this Peter Parker is so thin, he is a bit glitzy boy and not a loser exactly like Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker. There is one enemy, Dr. Octopus in the movie, in the comic book and the animated series I love, as you know, Spider Man fights more than one enemy at the same time and it causes amazing moments. Sadly, some people complained about this in Spider Man 3, so the filmmakers have sworn not to make room for more than one enemy. However, to me, absolutely, the problem is not this formula does not work, it is the fault of the directors. In Spider Man 3, it did not work because of Raimi and script, especially you know Venom stuff. However, Tim Burton did, didn't he? (Batman Returns, The Catwoman and Penguin) Some details are also missed in Raimi's Spider Man movies. These details might be not important for some people, but they are a part of dreams (expectations) For example. Spider Man is a chatterbox, so he talks with himself while flying or fighting his enemies. Sometimes, he makes jokes about the situation he is in and those lines are very humorous. In the movies, we have none. Sam Raimi creates his own world, makes his own humor, the tone of the movie, the atmosphere are not based on the comic book or the animated series, it is far different. Spider Man movies, the first, 2 and even 3 are great fun, also feel yourself good movies at times, but every time I am upset because of those. Raimi cannot adapt the mood, the atmosphere and the humor. Visually, yellow tones are dominant, in the comic book and the animation, visually, it is great. How is called? Use of city. Raimi cannot use of city well. Now, let's about the content of the movie. There are some brainwave moments in the movie like the stained clothes in the launderette. The first short action scene shows the improvement of the movie, so technically perfect, it is a very stylish scene also. The platonic love between Parker and Mary Jane is realistic, I mean one sided love. Thankfully, Raimi makes Spider cruise in the air, those images are dazzling, he does not miss this detail as he did some other ones. However, personally, it was not enough for me, because I just love that, so it could have been longer, it should have been longer. However, there are some too unrealistic moments in the movie, for example, he tries to jump from a roof to another, but falls down. All your bones are broken and you die! Or he is not shocked when he pulls out the plugs. The positive hype of the hospital part is true, in this part, even if you don't know who is the director, you understand it is Sam Raimi. J. Jonah Jameson is cartoonish unfortunately, he imitates him, does not interpret him. The first big action sequence is one of the best sequences of the movie, to me second best. It is very very smart, especially the choreography and editing, very brilliant. And perfection in visual effects. In terms of action, yes Raimi's movie meets all the expectations and dreams come true. Action is a bit less, but satisfying and the movie was not boring. The second Spider Octopus fight is the best action sequence of the movie and my personal favorite. Again very brilliant choreography and very brilliant editing. Real amazing. However, Raimi uses some showy tricks like the forward traveling to the end of the rail (Batman Begins used it too) And another illogical, unrealistic stuff. Your leg is real seriously broken, if you do that! even further injury may be. He is not Superman. A problem of the movie is that Peter Parker is a very thin and the most important feeble boy, but when he wears Spider Man costume and becomes Spider Man, he becomes very powerful as if he is the son of Superman!! This really flaws. Then, some real touching (and humorous) moments. There is something in it. Returning to the relationship between Parker and Jane, realism is ruined and fantasy takes the place of it. Remember, ''tiger'' People at theater laughed, I remember.
