Spidey 2:Electric Boogaloo
Alright, I've sat myself down, switched off Civilization III for a bit (freakin' addictive game) &, while it's fresh in my noggin', will give you my own itty bitty review of the newest Spider-Man movie.
Let me preface this by saying that I collected comic books while growing up & that Spider-Man was probably my favorite hero (or at least tied with Batman). Because of this & the frightening amount of comic lore from up to the early 90's that I still have knockin' around in my brain, I am frequently disappointed with superhero movies. I have been called a purist & I wear that badge with honor. I mean, it shouldn't be too hard to make a faithful superhero movie. The source material is right there, people! There's no need to use artistic license. It's like taking the story of Moses from the Bible & making him younger & an eloquent, non-stuttering speaker & - oh, wait...that'd be "Prince of Egypt."
Anyway, now that that's out of the way, on to our featured presentation:
Spider-Man 2:Attack of the Tentacles
If I were to sum the movie up in one line, it'd be something along the lines of "OH MY FREAKIN' STARS & GARTERS - THIS MOVIE ROCKS BEYOND ALL COMPREHENSION!"
Now, if I were to bind the comic fanboy inside of me & lock him away in a vault somewhere, the line that I'd use to describe this movie would be "OH MY FREAKIN' STARS & GARTERS - THIS MOVIE ROCKS BEYOND ALL COMPREHENSION!"
It just rocks. That. Much.
And, since I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it, I won't say anything more about it. Because if I do, I will tell all sorts of things about it & probably tell you all about the ending & then you'd be reeeeeally unhappy with me for that. Really. I know you would.
So, my final words on the movie - go out. See it now. Go. Get.
Now, about that pants pocket quandry...
