I agree lil pimp.
And i didnt like the whole losing his powers because he didnt want to be spider-man. Pretty lame IMO. I like the MJ/Peter moments better in S-M 1 also.
both had their points. Docs arms were great peices of movie magic though. I would'a liked GG to be more manic and over the top. the evil psycho laugh wasn't at all what i imagined it to be from the comics....i was thinking more of a Mark Hamel's Joker thing there.... but it worked out pretty well when on it's own. They did manadge to get that Osborn was a monster without GG's influence, so it was true to the character. Doc, however wasn't really true to his comic counterpart. i liked it but he was pretty much controled by the arms (similar to Ultimate) but was a decent guy himself. rather than world domination or some insane vengence or ego trip he was trying to save teh world's energy problems...nobel if he wasn't compleatly out of his F=ing mind. Comic Oct is a lot more like Hanable Lector than movie oct. there's an intersting thought though, Thomas Harris as Doc.... both had their strong points though.
Aside from the costume,Dafoe nailed the Norman Osborn /Goblin character,truely a great performance.
I find 2 to be the better film,Molina was just brillient when in villain Doc Ock mode,another wonderful casting.Wasn't crazy about the end,would have been better for Spider-Man to have to destroy the fusion device and save MJ at the same time,would have played like a old story from the comic.
I could watch the train screen and Harry finding the Goblin lair all day.

I wouldn't describe Norman before the Goblin as monster.The movie portrayed Norman pre transformation as obsessed with company and its future.His greed and power lust leed to his downfall and transformation into The Green Goblin.Remember the Goblin represents all of Norman's bad traits.I think the movie did a great job capturing this.
With comic Ock ,I see a pompus,arrogant,socially withdrawn man obsessed with his work above all else and this is before the accident.I didn't care for the loving husband and poetery crap.Though when he was in villain mode he was the Ock I imagine in the comics right down to the little evil smirk.
neither,I'll take the old 70s show over the 2 movies anyday.
