Now, I have been a fan of Spider-Man for a very long time, so I think it's appropriate that I talk about this film. Now this film is, at times ridiculous and often a lil' cheesey.
However I think it is a good adaptation of the comics, which are also often alil' cheesey and at times ridiculous. It remains true to the character and remains fairly faithful to the story. I admit, it's not the greatest or most orginal movie ever made but it's deffinately a good movie and, in my opinion, a good adaptation, and given the aclaim it has receved should definately be included in our archive.
I agree that this spiderman did come off cheesy but I do like the throwback to old reditions of superhero movies, of a very selfless hero with a tortured past striving to be sterotypicly good.
ReplyDeleteYou could also say that the whole film is a metaphor for coming of age and dealing with puberty, and the overly cartoon-like villian being a symbol of escaping his childhood and becoming a man.
