I'll refer to your sig as soon as I figure out if that's a typo for "revolutionaries" or if you mean that the zombies belong to an unsung revolutionary.

[Maxwell]

sorry bout that, I corrected it.

Read ELANTRIS when it comes out.

[Maxwell]

I plan to.

BEST MOVIE EVER!

ok, i'm totally not paying attention to whether there are spoilers here. Likely there are


Anyway, yes, as I said. Best movie ever. I'm sure after I calm down a bit I'll be able to rationally look at it and admit that the surgery room scene (yeah, WAY over the top, but trés Raimi) and the Aunt May lecture scene were too much, and bring down the quality of the film a little, but wow. Yes, I don't remember BEING This pumped about a movie EVER. The plan is to keep myself from getting calm. I must go see it again

anyway, you know what scene I loved? Where Peter Tells Aunt May how Uncle Ben died.. it's so subtle, and I almost wish they'd used that to get Peter swinging again. The whole realization that he doesn't have to beat himself up over these things. MAY beats herself over somethign trivial. Peter should realize (and does a little, it's more than a confessional scene) that it doesn't have to destroy his life. He can go on.

Anyway, those fight scenes were AMAZING! MORE RAIMI! MORE! I DEMAND IT!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!

I havent seen you this worked up since you were a little girl ... no seriously you souund like a crazed fan...(If this seems a little harsh it's because I got 2 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours) now just so you know I"m kidding...in the words of JP "I will now edit my last post to include a smiley"

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Best. EVER.

[Slant]

Well, not the best EVER, but still very well done.  Easily one of the few superhero films that managed to stay nearly 100% true to it's background material.

i've slept on it, and I want to add a couple things. One is a correction. First, 42, Harry is not the Hobgoblin. He's the second Green Goblin. His powers come from a suit instead of a science experiment. (incidentally, the THIRD GG is a kid who works at the Daily Bugle who finds the suit and tries to be a hero, but finds out he's too much of a coward and gives up on it during the Onslaught saga). It's quite possible that Raimi will call him the Hobgoblin, but there doesn't seem to be a need to change the content that way.


Second. Spidey stops the train. H3||z yeah! it's a total homage to Superman catching the plane in his introduction to Metropolis, but come on, this was hecka cooler than that. And blows his catching the helicopter in the first movie AWAY.

THat movie ruled.

No, still not calmed down.

Im actually happier that Saint liked it, as a RABID spidey fan (and I do mean foaming at the mouth rabid)   he's more likely to have hated it than liked it.

I finally got to see it. Yay! What a good movie!

And I don't care if it wasn't terribly true to the original comics, because I think it was stupid of Peter to think that he could go through his life ignoring his feelings for her and "protecting" her. She needed to be able to make that choice for herself, whether she'd want to take that risk. He shouldn't make it for her.

That is such a girly comment. It's much needed diversity, but still--what else would you expect a guy to do?

[stacer]

Oh, I don't know--maybe TALK to her?

[stacer]

Oh, and a question: is the astronaut guy someday going to be a bad guy? I forget his name, but I mean MJ's fiance, the son of the newspaper publisher. He just seemed to have an evil glint in his eye.
