I just don't get it. Why when something gets popular as is well regarded, why do people have to turn on it and start slagging it off? It happens all the time and we're seeing it again with Spider-Man 3 which is being slated in some quarters. And why? Largely the comic book fans (who have been largely pleased with the franchise thus far) are whingeing because some things are changed from the comic books. To them I say get over it, movies are different from comics and have different requirements to make things work. Don't forget there's a lot of people who never read the comics (myself included) for who the movies are spider-man and the film makers had responsibility to those people as well. Just enjoy the comics as comics, and the movies as movies in their own right. The other criticisms are mainly that they cram too much and that there are lot of plot-holes and unrealistic parts. Personally I think they did a great job to squeeze 3 villains into the film. And as for plot-holes and the like? When you're watching a film about a man who can do whatever a spider can, you're on shaky ground if you start saying things are unrealistic. Well duh. Its' escapism pure and simple. In case you couldn't guess I though the film was awesome. The action is truly phenomenal and the skill with which the Peter Parker sections are handled are what separate it from lesser super-franchises. So don't let what anyone else says put you off. It get the full Mopizo recommendation.( Five Monkeys) And if you disagree, you're entitled to your opinion (even if it's wrong).
