Spiderman 2

Todd Gilchrist was not very fond of the film Spiderman 2. He felt that many of the scenes were dragged out for too long, like when spiderman starts to lose his powers and he has to take the elevator. Another part he mentioned was when Aunt May was saying how spiderman was a necessary hero to society, and how the audience obviously understood that he was going to become spiderman again. Gilchrist also felt like there was way too much emotion in the movie because it kept showing Peter Parker's life. He thinks that it would be good for the people who read Spiderman in the 70's, but not for people who are going to see a movie at all.
Roger Ebert felt that the movie was great. He thought that the sequel was much better than the first Spiderman movie, and the it was a job well done. He loved the fact that it gave a better view of Peter Parker and who he was, rather than only showing Spiderman because people relate more to the human behind the super hero. Ebert also thinks that this is not only a good movie based off a comic book for comic book readers, but it is also a movie for movie goers because it was an all around good movie. Ebert also makes plenty of time to point out how amazing the special effects in this movie were because they did a great job in combining human with super powers so it looked real, and not all fake like in the first one.
