"Staying away from you. That's a cute outfit. Did your husband give it to you?"
A great one.
I wouldn't really consider this one a quip.
"Well, beats taking the subway. Don't mind her she just needs to use the elevator."
Not funny.
"It's you who's out Gobby. Out of your mind."
I share your sentiment, that one was bad.
"Oh great." (referring to the razorbats)
Again, this is hardly a quip.
I thought he said "Set him down, tough guy", as Goblin was holding Jonah.
"Hey kiddo, Let mom and dad talk for a while will ya?"
This one was ok.
"You have a nag for getting in trouble."
LOL! It's you have a
knack for getting in trouble.
"Not coming back, chief."
That's not a quip.
Ok, point taken. There's a few more jokes made in SM-1. Maybe not great jokes or quips, but they were there.
Your right, SM1 is quite predictable for those who have background knowledge of Spiderman. Fortunately I wasn't one of them.
My point is made. So, SM-2 was even more unpredictable plot wise, because even if you knew the comic books, you still didn't know what would happen, as the story was practically original.
So you see this was a fresh experience that had me on the edge of my seat. This why I'm so defensive when it comes to SM1. Don't you remember the first comic book movie you ever saw? There's something about it that can't be replicated. No other comic book movie has been able to replicate that feeling i had when watching Spiderman at age 10. I've grown to love other films over the years and the comics themselves, but Spiderman is a childhood memory that stays close to my heart.
I'm not knocking SM-1. I think it's a great movie. We were talking about the cheesey stuff here. Raimi crams the cheese in where ever he can in both movies.
I hope he lays off it a bit in SM-3, as it has a very dark tone, and cheese might not fit in alot of places.
And the big reason Spiderman 2 was predictable to me was because I read the spoilers. It was my own fault because i had high expectations.
That doesn't make the movie itself predictable. If you read the spoilers of any movie prior to seeing it, then any movie becomes predictable.
Doc Ock, SM2 did have more emotion in terms of dramatic themes, but i thought it could have been executed better in some parts. Still a good film though
Oh, I agree. There was alot of room for improvement. But that goes for SM-1, too. It goes for most movies, in fact.
Everyone has their preferences. SM-2 was the better movie for me because of Peter's personal torments, his strained relationships with those closest to him, confessing to Aunt May about his role in Ben's death, Harry's descent to the dark side, Harry and MJ learning Peter's secret, Ock being a much more emotional and three dimensional villain, the mind blowing action sequences etc.
Still love SM-1, but SM-2 offered me more.
