Changes are for good! Are they really?

Rating: 6/10 (20 October 2017)

When a movie is being made with a widely popular, hugely acknowledged character like Spiderman, comparisons have become unavoidable. When films are being made with a character over a considerable period of time, changes are to be made as per the requirements of time. But the basic things are expected to remain the same. With the recent movie, the Marvels studios have made some significant changes. First, be the Spider suit. Well, previously the suits were made by Peter Parker himself. But now it is made by Stark industries. Now the suit is suggesting Parker what to do or what not to. An unacceptable and totally unnecessary change for a spider man lover. He should be spider man because of him, not for the suit. Secondly, the never forgettable acting skills of Toby Maguire. No one really interested what spider man does with the mask because all the stunts are done with stuntman or special effects. Showing the emotions, the frustrations, require really good acting skills and were successfully done by Toby Maguire. We love him because with his acting skills he made us feel that he is one of us. Thirdly, why the first 40 to 45 minutes of the movie is made such a way is beyond any comprehension. Any Spiderman lover would like to leave the hall or turn the channel. It is such a pain to see such bogus, useless, needless comedy that leads to nowhere, for such a long period of time.
Last but not the least is Rosemary Harris. Everybody need a mentor. Specially for someone who fights to keep the society clean, needs a shelter to go to. He needs someone who is waiting in the home only for him. He needs someone to give right advice in the time of confusion. At least that was the way Marvel made us to believe in previous superhero movies. That someone is Aunt May for Peter. Though she does not know of Peter being the Spiderman but gives right advice when needed. Who can forget the scene when Spiderman killed the killer of his uncle and Peter proudly says this to his Aunt , she instantly says " I don't understand. Spiderman does not kill people", the way she said that gave Peter his conscience back to made him realize that he really made a terrible mistake. These were made possible by the acting skills of Rosemary Harris. Scenes of Peter and aunt Mary are unforgettable in those movies. They were like conversions between mother and child. In this movie this important character has been downgraded. It has been portrayed in a manner that any Spiderman lover would definitely feel that the movie would better have been made without aunt May.
Most of all Spiderman does not need someone like Iron man to be his mentor. Only because they have to include Spiderman in the Avengers movie, Marvel Studios have made Spiderman like this. An unacceptable CHANGE. Spiderman is the Spiderman. Should have better been left unchanged.
