Yep I saw it, and it was good, and you should all go see it too. I think I am going to go to it again when I get a chance…and I will definitely buy the DVD. I think I am in love with Tobey Maguire…oh wait, I’m 24…too old to have crushes on celebrities. Anyway, this entry is focusing on interesting facts about the movies or their potential, don’t worry about having anything ruined.
The amount of potential villains for the Spiderman 3 movie present in Spiderman 2 is enormous. Not only do we have the new Green Goblin, Harry, but we also have Dr Lizard (aka Dr Connors). Jameson’s son the Astronaut, who was about to marry Mary Jane, and ends up going up to the moon again on another space mission where he becomes a werewolf. Maybe they will change that last part and make him an alien or something more 21st century, but then again maybe not. This brings up a great amount of possibly enemies for the next movie and I only have one stipulation: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let them not make it about only the second Green Goblin, I will not go see it if that is the case. The first movie was lame enough in that area. Do you think they will do all of these potential enemies? Did I miss anybody?
Did you know the scene in the first movie which is the Green Goblin first entrance... and he steals Mary Jane and then drops her from a height actually happened in the comics BUT with one major difference. It wasn't Mary Jane who was stolen up in the glider, but Peter Parker's first girlfriend... she was also saved from splattering on the ground but died anyways, because of the shock. It was the first time a victim had died in the comics... at least while the superhero was saving them.
Did anybody else notice that the song at the end was Dashboard Confessional? It is actually pretty good and you can go to the Spiderman 2 official website and see the music video. The whole soundtrack is looking good; I might have to buy it. The other song that made me crack up was the lady on the street singing 'Spiderman, spiderman' in what I thought was a shout-out to Phebe Bouffet character on Friends...but it turns out that was the original soundtrack during the 1960's cartoon.
Feel free to share other little known facts about Spiderman here, my step-dad knows way too much about the comic book because he grew up during it’s heyday.
