Just got home from taking in the new Spiderman (Spider-Man?) movie with some friends.
Nutshell: if you liked the first, see the second.
Here are some more in-depth thoughts.
YES! THERE ARE SPOILERS!!!
Max Dillon was a bit much before he changes as was his origin, all a little too 50's sci-fi, but, as my friend Alan pointed out, of course it's going to be comic book-y...it's a comic book movie.
I think I've just been a bit dampened by the tone of Winter Soldier (which I really dug).
I really liked the scene between Electro and Spidey in Times Square. Of course it had to all go wrong, but it was interesting for a few moments when it didn't. Well done.
Did not like the random dub step soundboard that was Electro and his powers, and what the fuck was up with all that angsty whispering? Jesus. There was a better way to do that: not at all.
The introduction of Ravencroft, Smythe and Felicia was just wonderful.
So much teasing of the cock.
While some might find it cheesy, the, literal, foreshadowing with the appearance of Captain Stacey worked really well for me, especially the last time we see him.
His face...so judgemental.
The quips are perfect, and the moments of comedy were perfect.
I thought the way they handled Gwen was SO hilariously brutal, especially for folks who knew of her fate from the comics.
She's falling! He saved her.
She's falling!!! He saved her!
She's falling!!!!!!! He...almost saved her.
Totally fucking brutal.
Wow.
Love. Love. LOVE all the seeds they're planting for the next (based on that list that Harry gets from his dad) forty seven films.
Wanted a bit more Rhino, but the bits we got were just great. Paul Giamatti is doing what an actor should: enjoying himself, thus causing the audience to enjoy themselves.
Wanted a real stinger, not just a trailer for the X-Men movie, which I want to see less and less the more I see of it.
Unless they kill Halle Berry.
Then, I'll see it twice.
Fingers crossed for that Sinister Six plot Webb teased recently.
