spiderman,er manspider movie,a piece of crap film

Man this movie sucked,what a piece of crap garbage of a film.Honestly,this movie looked like it was written by a 5 year old at times.Not surprising though since they were such morons to make a movie about my hero and give him organic webshooters.I knew if they allowed that,then they would allow OTHER stupid crap also.Seriously,this movie should have been called MANSPIDER.it TOTALLY betrayed his character. 😠

the good points of the film.
the actors were great.J K SIMMONS AS JJJ WAS JAMESON brought to life from the comics.William defoe was amazing as NORMAN OSBORN.The mirror scene was really cool.I had my doubts about tobey mcguire as peter parker at first because I dont like his voice at all,but he surprised me.He was a good Peter,just a bad spiderman.He did not talk the way you would expect spidey to sound.THAT spidey had a GREAT voice.aunt may and uncle ben were great.the only actor I really thought was weak was a JAMES FRANCO AS HARRY OSBORN.

THE special effects were amazing,especially the oscorp building.That was awesome.I also loved the scenes of him webslinging through the city.

I really liked watching him dodge those goblin razors,that was well done the way they showed it in slow motion.I always assumed spidey could dodge machine gun fire because he saw bullets come at him in super slow motion the same way we can easily see a softball come at us in slow motion and easily able to get out of the way of it.Or like how superman saw things in slow motion also.

the opening sequence and credits was awesome and gave me hope that I might actually eat my words that the movie would suck.Kirsten dunst was very pretty as MJ,especially in the rain scene.HEE HEE. 🙂

I was also glad to see spidey FINALLY portrayed correctly showing how strong he truely is when they had him hold the cable car,something that you never saw in the spidey cartoons or live action tv show where they made him into a wuss getting beat up by ordinary human beings all the time.

I also liked how his spider sense was portrayed,when it warned him in plenty of time to avoid flash hitting him. and oh,those wrestler girls were gorgeous. 🙂

THE BAD POINTS OF THE FILM.
can you say organics? man what a moron idea to begin with,that was so stupid to give him organics and turn him inot a manspider monster with those idiotic organics.hollywood only wanted to make their own liitle version is why they gave him organics.they just wanted to do something new and different with him by raping to death this great character.the thing that is so stupid about the organics,is if he got the powers of a spider,the webbing would shoot out of his ass for god sakes,no way would they be able to shoot out of hiswrists for great long distances of all things.thats just not logical.Apider spins its webbing in the back end of its body,and those hairy claws,whats up with that? boy that was so gross seeing him shoot webbing out of his wrists polluting the streets with body fluid.You lose so much without the mechs and getting to see him create the webfluid.I totally took away his scientific genius which was NEVER demonstrated.You also have to deal with the fact that a spiders webbing doesnt dissolve for weeks at times,guess the whole city of new york is going to be polluted now. 😮

then the even bigger sin-THE GREEN GOBLIN COSTUME.that costume was so laughable looking and dumb it looked more like an alien from space than a damn goblin.that was insulting that we saw only his real mouth move when he talked,and his goblin mouth never moved,man what a joke.

then there was the spider biting him walking off without dying,guess were going to have lots of spidermen swinging around town now.how stupid.

then there is the character of mary jane.david koepp the screen writer obviously was lied to by somebody or something,because he got her character confused with gwen stacy because he turned her character into gwen stacy practically.MJ is suppose to be an airhead and stuck up,instead they made her into the nice,kind,sweet girl GWEN STACY is Just like the 90's cartoon did. 😠 where was the party girl from the comics? except hearing her say HEY TIGER! I felt like I was looking at gwen stacy on the screen.

then there was that stupid cable car moment where MJ grabs on the railing after falling.yeah like some normal girl is going to pull that stunt.

I also hated the fact that we never heard peter think to himself.sorry narration and hearing thoughts are two totally different things.You cant have a spiderman movie without hearing his thoughts,with supes and bats,no problem,bus spidey is a different case.That was one thing I rreally liked about the 90's cartoon was how they brilliantly had peter think to himself in that show.I wanted to hear him say things like-SHOULD I AKS MJ OUT,WHAT IF SHE SAYS NO,I'LL LOOK STUPID,NO I BETTER NOT.

I ALSO hated the fact that he was never wisecracking like spidey is suppose to when hefights.man,spidey NEVER shuts up when he fights baddies!!!!!

I also hated the fact that BETTY AND ROBBIE werent even introduced and only had avout 30 seconds of screentime.man what bullcrap.

I also got to mention,like I said,at first,I had hopes for the film,that was quickly replaced with that corny diolouge of YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO I AM,YOU SURE YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO I AM? to the end of WHO AM I,IM SPIDERMAN.then swinging off hanging on to the flagpole.dumb and corny.this isnt macgyver or magnum pi for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!

Then theres that retarded cafeteria scene whgere everybody saw him shoot out his webbing and drag the tray,then ho goes out and does all these spectacular backflips and punches flash thompson sending him flying over 100 feet through the air across the floor which is humanly impossible to do.Lets see,this occurs,then a guy displays the same uncanny abilites comes along a few months later,even a dork like flash thompson would easily put two and two together,geez waht moron came up with that part? also,too bad the goblin costume damaged defoes great performance as osborn,his performance would have been even MORE awesome with the right costume.

It was also stupid how during the ring fight how his spidey sense inexplicably failed to warn him that he was going to get hit with the chair at that time,he should EASLIY have dodged that.Not to mention that the chair should not have even hurt him since he has super strength now.

I also did not like that he got to say good bye to uncle ben like he did instead of never being able to say good bye to him like in the comics.

Then there was him letting the burgler go for a different reason,because he was mad at the promoter instead of being full of himself and having thoughts like-WHY SHOULD I GET INVLOVED,IM NOT A COP.I hated how it turned his reason inot not helping him in the first place to a total different reason for not helping him.In the comic,it showed that he was being full of himself,where in the movie,it was olny because he was mad at the promoter,how dumb.also take inot account,that the promoter later saw peter with his mask off after displaying spider abilities in the ring 🙄 yep,the writers goofed big time and dropped the ball on this one.But not surprising since they made spiderman into manspider instead. 😠 way to go sony,screwing up a great character.

😐
*taking a moment to digest all that*
Whew, thats a pretty deep analysis. I'll agree with you for the most part, Harry's character was played badly, the "spiderman will pay" dialogue is straight out of a saturday morning kids cartoon. Green goblin costume wasnt very faithful to the comic, and looked too cheesy to be cool. The good points, Jameson and Osborn was played brilliantly, as you said. I didnt think Macguire did such a bad job though. Spidey in person was a bit of a wimpy dude, and he portrayed the peter parker look perfectly. But yeah, his dialogues were hopeless, ive seen better in japanese anime. Overall though, a reasonable comic adaptation. Beats daredevil anyway 😘. Best comic-adaptation going round right now would be X-Men in my opinion.

Good job moron. 😄

Are you really gonna start on that organic crap again? Man, get a hobby. You need to realize that yes, it was not a perfect adaptation, but it couldn't have been. They had to change some things so that it would be appreciated by a wider audience.

Im totally agree with Mr Parker great review about that stupid man spider movie. The points by Mr Parker are so great because he explained perfect what sucks in the movie and what was correct. Im 100%agree with him. That stupid man spider movie was a total betrayal to the comics character making of spidey a freak with organics not funny at all, Peter a pussy boy without scientist genious, mary jane a clone of gwen stacey with red hair, the green goblin a stupid clown without mouth movements and a costume from the power rangers series, and many and many dumb scenes, corny lines, bad developing of the characters , and a terrible screenplay. That piece of crap cant be considered a movie at all. That is an insult against the cinema. I havent seen a betrayal with the same proportions since Michael Keaton was casted as batman/Bruce Wayne. This crap is very far to be the greatest comic book movie adaptation, or even a good adaptation. The best adaptation of a comic is superman, a great film with magic in the screen . Man spider is only a garbage and an insult against the real spiderman fans and the cinema fans.

"I havent seen a betrayal with the same proportions since Michael Keaton was casted as batman/Bruce Wayne" WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? Who could have possibly been better? Keaton was more than perfect as Batman. Nobody could have touched his performance. Maybe the best hero performance ever. Next you're gonna say Jack Nicholson wasn't the best badguy performance ever.
Secondly, yes they didn't follow the comice perfectly because they couldn't. The movie, which has like the second highest grossing ever, would not have made the same amount of money if they had followed the comice perfectly. Now before you start bitching about the movie only being for money, all movies are only made for money. Comic fans expect certain things from the books they read, and these things can not be transfered to a movie audience.
No comic licensed movie has ever been portrayed as acuratley as they should have been. The organics were required because not all of the audience were people who have read the comics. They can't make Parker too much of an academic god like he was in the comics. It becomes too difficult to believe everything that happened in the comics could happen in real life. Comic fans are able to keep their disbelief suspended much longer because they have come to expect unbelievable things. They had to bridge the gap between movie goers and comic readers.
Yes the costume was a streach, yes the formula to make the goblin was a streach, but at a point it would have become riduculous. I am as big a fan of Spider-Man as anyone else, but you have to realize it wasn't a comicbook. It was a movie, and things have to change to attract, and keep an audience other than comic fans intersted.
Also, nothing in the movie is that far from the truth outside of the actaul turning into Spider-Man. There are projects in the scientific community that involve people trying to make people stronger and develop personal airplanes. A high school kid creating not only web shooters but also a fluid strong enough to hold up people and tram cars goes way to far in the real world. I was pissed at first too, I thought it was a horrible crime against humanity to change it, but you have to make concessions in areas.

Youre crazy. Keaton IS Batman. Full stop.

vvvrulz-You are so correct,that green goblin costume was way too cheesey to be cool,but I think your totally off your rocker saying daredevil beat spidey,no way DAREDEVIL was much superiour and more well written than this manspider movie was.I do agree with you that XMEN was better than manspider also obviously.

Hey Captain,your the moron,you have to engage in name calling because your stupid manspider movie was bashed.

zephonian you are being plain ignorant here saying that they HAD to change the mechs to organics to make it work on the screen,that is being just plain ignorant.and bakerboy is correct,giving spiderman organics was about the dumbest thing to occur in a comicbook movie since they cast michael keaton as batman.Keaton perfect as batman? give me a break,he looked like a total wuss getting the crap beat out of him by that jokers goon,this guys is a martial arts expert for god sakes!!! keaton was terrible as bats because he doesnt even come close to looking the part of bruce wayne,and yes,CEASAR ROMERO was better as THE JOKER than nicholson because he at least physically fits the part of the joker unlike nicholson does and he laughs for long periods of time like the joker did which nicholson did not.

This manspider movie is not the 2nd highest grossing film of all time either,its like 6,get your facts straight,you are being just plain ignorant saying the movie would not have made as much money with the mechs as it did with the orgs,in fact it would have made even more with the mechs.and yes they COULD have used the mechs if they wanted to.the mechs could EASILY have been transferred to the audience.

you saying the mechs needed to be changed and organics were needed is absurd.movie goers have accpeted things far more bizarre than the mech shooters in other movies,and if ANYTHING,him gaining the powers of a spider is more far fetched than the mechs are and there are even more crazier things in that movie than the mechs are,man your arguments are weak.to say the mechs needed to be changed is again absurd.yes it WAS a horrible crime against humanity to make this movie without the mechs. your other examples go just as much far in reality if not more so also.Like I said,there are things in that movie that are even far more unbelievablke in reality than mechs are,give me a break. 🙄

There are indeed many things that are far more unbelievable, but at a point it becmes too much for most people. When most enter movie theatres they are expecting to extened their imagonations to accept certain things in the movie, but at a point it becomes far too much for someone to accept. It becomes laughable. First the kid gets powers from a spider (and how that happened is what you should be really pissed about), then he makes a costume from nothing, then he somehow manages to create small devices that are able to shoot a super strong web-like fluid that he also designed himself in his bedroom. Don't get me wrong, I would have liked to have seen the shooters mush more than the organic ones, but audiences would not have liked it. Look at the Phantom from the early 90's. Horrible superhero movie. They didn't take mivie going audiences into account, only the comic fans. Same thing with Daredevil, Concessions have to be given to both groups. Again, I would have loved if they had made it to the letter, but for it to be as successful as it was they couldn't have. And, there are other things you should have been more upset about than just him having a few organics.

uh,if you read my review,there were a lot more things in the movie I was upset about also besides the organics.thats just pure speculation on your part that the mechs are too much for most people to accept and I dont see how you can say that when audiences have accpeted things in movies that are fictional that are far more bizaare then the mechs.yes how he became spider-man was something I did not like,but not near as much as how much I hate the organics.movie goers go to the theater to extend their imiaginations,so mechs would be no problem at all for them.daredevil isnt anywhere near as popular of a character than spider-man so of course its not going to be a huge money maker at the box office and people havent been waiting for ages for a daredevil movie to be made,so even though daredevil had a far better and superiour script to it,we all knew it would not be near as big a money maker at the box office as spiderman because spiderman is a much more popular comicbook character.

I've read what you wrote again, and you make some very good points. Give me a day or so to respond to everything in your first post. Too much mindless crap going on with school to do it now.

i thought that the organic webbing was kool yeah i did kinda wonna see him make the web shotters but hes more like a spider with the organic webbing instead of having fake webbing (just a though lol)

I thought Willem Defoe had a wild enough look to not even need. That tech suit really bugged me.

like i pointed out in your other thread. Giving Parker organic webbing is no more un believeable that giving him increased brain activity, and super strength, and super agility. It is actually very plausible. I mean if parker gained all of the spiders abilities, why would he not gain the most crucial ability to the spiders existence which is his webbing. In the comics when parker turned into the man spider, he had natural webbing, so if he would aquire natural webbing with a little more evolution then it is very plausible. BESIDES lets not over look the main reason the orgain weebing was introduced inteasd of the web shooter and formula. It was done to keep pace. SAM Raimi Actually had plans to incoorperate the web shooter, He said that if he could have made the movie another hour he would have went down that path.

The movie was right out of comic book pages. The atmosphere was bledding with a comic book feel. Each character was adapted near perfectly. The point with gwen stacey being his first love, and the girl on the bridge instead of MJ was changed for the benefit of the movie. Having gwen stacey,and mary jane would have taken away from the pace of the movie. that would have been another character to introduce and elaborate on. Raimi changed certain things out of the comics so he could have a true, good comic to film movie. And a good movie we recieved. Spiderman was portrayed near perfectly, from his reluctance to take the plate and become a hero, to harry osbourne hating and worshiping his father. If you want to see what a butchard comic book movie looks like, go watch X-2

you got to be joking? this movie was crap,spider-man is a guy with chemical webshooters,his character was totally misrepresented.we did not habe a true good comicbook film it was horrible.No I'll just watch spider-man if I want to see a buthched comicbook since thtas all I have to do. Mj's character was horribly adapted,they made her character much more like gwen stacy than MJ.

I know that you will more than likely dismiss everything I say, but I would appreciate if you would at least read it like I took the time to read yours.

All right, here we go (bout damn time). Sorry it took so long, I am just getting ready for finals, and the end of this semester has been wicked nuts. Let me just say before I start that I totally agree with most of what Mr. Parker is saying. I think it would have been awesome if they had stuck directly with the comics, but I realize that they couldn’t. And now my rebuttal:

“He was a good Peter,just a bad spiderman.He did not talk the way you would expect spidey to sound. the only actor I really thought was weak was a JAMES FRANCO AS HARRY OSBORN. ”
I disagree with you entirely here. Toby was awesome, not only as Peter but also as Spider-Man. You have to think back that Peter didn’t start as heroic badass. It took him time to come into his superhero attitude. He started out as a scared kid who had just been given a great gift, and this movie was the origins of Spidey. I would expect that in the next movie they will buff his personality up a little and make him into more of hero. And I agree with James Franco, but in the beginning Harry was a pretty weak character too, he never had a lot going for min story wise (and he had by far the worst dialogue in the movie).

“Kirsten dunst was very pretty as MJ”
She was cute, in my opinion nowhere near ‘MJ’ quality hotness. I posted on another board that MJ was always smoking. She was an actress and then a model. They needed someone way hotter. I suggested Nikki Cox, it helps that she already has the red hair.

“and those hairy claws,whats up with that?”
I agree that the hairs were a little weird, but if you think about it, they never really explained how he was able to climb on walls in the comics. He just could, and they couldn’t do that in the movie. I personally like that they shed a little light on that and explained how he was able to climb the walls.

“can you say organics? man what a moron idea to begin with, that was so stupid to give him organics and turn him inot a manspider monster with those idiotic organics.hollywood only wanted to make their own liitle version is why they gave him organics.they just wanted to do something new and different with him by raping to death this great character.the thing that is so stupid about the organics,is if he got the powers of a spider,the webbing would shoot out of his ass for god sakes,no way would they be able to shoot out of hiswrists for great long distances of all things.thats just not logical.Apider spins its webbing in the back end of its body.”
We’ve done this talk in a previous thing, and I have a feeling that no matter what I say, you’re not going to accept it. The organics were necessary. They couldn’t have him just producing those devices from his room in Queens. Also, the webbing in this made more sense than the web in the comic. He says in the comic that he thinks the spider that bit him somehow passed on the formula for the webbing to him. I like the fact that the webbing is more based on something than things being passed from spider to human telepathically.

“You also have to deal with the fact that a spiders webbing doesnt dissolve for weeks at times,guess the whole city of new york is going to be polluted now.”
In the comic his webbing dissolves in like an hour or so. I would assume that that is how it would work in the movie. It is tough for film makers to express all the things that comics can because they don’t have the same amount of time and area that a comic does.

“then the even bigger sin-THE GREEN GOBLIN COSTUME.that costume was so laughable looking and dumb it looked more like an alien from space than a damn goblin.that was insulting that we saw only his real mouth move when he talked,and his goblin mouth never moved,man what a joke.”
It would have been IMPOSSIBLE for them to make a mask like the one in the comic. He has some kind of weird latex on the books that forms to his face. They can’t do that in the movies. Look at Wolverine or Batman, their masks are different too. What they did was the closest thing possible. First, the mask was formed from Defoe’s face that they then twisted and warped. Secondly, when he raised the eyes you could still see his mouth and his eyes came through the holes, so that was as close to original as possible. The suit was a little queer though, looked like a Power Ranger. It would have been cool to have the boots and the satchel, but then that would not have gone with the mask. Also, the thing that should have bugged you was the lack of pumpkin bombs, or bombs of any kind.

“MJ is suppose to be an airhead and stuck up,instead they made her into the nice,kind,sweet girl GWEN STACY is Just like the 90's cartoon did. where was the party girl from the comics? except hearing her say HEY TIGER! I felt like I was looking at gwen stacy on the screen.”
“I also hated the fact that BETTY AND ROBBIE werent even introduced and only had avout 30 seconds of screentime.man what bullcrap.”
They didn’t have the time to add a whole new character. The comic had decades to cover dozens of different characters, the movie had two hours. With Betty and Robbie you had the same problem, not enough time to give all of them the screen time they deserved. The same goes for Eddie and Dr. Conners, they said their name, but no face to go with them (but I think they did that so they could cast them when they are bigger parts in later movies). They knew sequels were gonna be coming, and they wanted movie goers to begin to care about a character and if they had just killed Gwen at the end people would not have been as likely to care about a whole other character in the next movie. Plus, MJ is a much more well known character.

“I also hated the fact that we never heard peter think to himself.sorry narration and hearing thoughts are two totally different things.You cant have a spiderman movie without hearing his thoughts,with supes and bats,no problem,bus spidey is a different case.That was one thing I rreally liked about the 90's cartoon was how they brilliantly had peter think to himself in that show.I wanted to hear him say things like-SHOULD I AKS MJ OUT,WHAT IF SHE SAYS NO,I'LL LOOK STUPID,NO I BETTER NOT.”
Internal monoloque is really tough to do in movies, especially when the person doing most of the narrating is wearing mask. It was a great part of his character, but it would not have worked in the movie. People would have lost track of who was talking to who and what was being said out loud and what wasn’t.

“I ALSO hated the fact that he was never wisecracking like spidey is suppose to when hefights.man,spidey NEVER shuts up when he fights baddies!!!!!”
I agree 100%. This was my biggest complaint about the movie.

“to the end of WHO AM I,IM SPIDERMAN.then swinging off hanging on to the flagpole.dumb and corny.this isnt macgyver or magnum pi for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!”
The original ending called for a huge battle that took place between the twin towers, but, those were no more. The flag was a simple, quick tribute to September 11th. It was only added after the towers fell. And what the hell does “this isnt macgyver or magnum pi for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!” mean? “Macgyver or Magnum PI“?

“everybody saw him shoot out his webbing and drag the tray,then ho goes out and does all these spectacular backflips and punches flash thompson sending him flying over 100 feet through the air across the floor which is humanly impossible to do.Lets see,this occurs,then a guy displays the same uncanny abilites comes along a few months later,even a dork like flash thompson would easily put two and two together,geez waht moron came up with that part?
Nobody saw him shoot the web. If you watch the movie, nobody saw the webbing leave his wrist. They might have seen him drag the tray out, but they didn’t see what it was attached to. Also, he hit him like 10 feet, 100 would have definitely alerted people. The beauty of Parker was that he was such a nerd and such a nobody that people never gave him a second thought. They may have seen him punch him and fight all badass, but he was Peter Parker. He was a spaz you just got lucky once so people never thought twice about it.

“It was also stupid how during the ring fight how his spidey sense inexplicably failed to warn him that he was going to get hit with the chair at that time,he should EASLIY have dodged that.Not to mention that the chair should not have even hurt him since he has super strength now.”
In the movie we are never even sure if his spider sense warns him or not. It was the first time he had ever really used his powers and he was unsure of himself. He had just taken probably the biggest hit of his life and was stunned after being hit for the first time. The chair didn’t hurt him. He got hit by the chair and was then smashed into the cage but was right back up and kick “Bonesaw’s” ass (by the way, how can you be pissed about so many small things but let Bonesaw get by?)

“also take inot account,that the promoter later saw peter with his mask off after displaying spider abilities in the ring”
I agree with this, but the wrestling promoter never got his name or any relevant information about him. Also, how many people are in New York? Maybe if he ran into Parker again he might have said something, but he never did.

Finally, you contradict yourself. You say how you loved how they made him so strong, but are pissed at how hard he hit’s Flash. Make up you mind.

Again, I know that you will more than likely dismiss everything I say, but I would appreciate if you would at least read it like I took the time to read yours.

i agree with Zeph about not introducing new characters, and about spidey not becomming the bad ass superhero we all know for a while.In the comics, spiderman was a lot like batman. For the simple fact that spiderman, and peter parker were almost like two diferent people. I thought that was expressed nicely in the movie.

They introduced all the main characters of the spidey comics. If they had any more characters ,to much time would have been wasted elaborating on the characters. Remember they only had two hours at the most to work with. This includes introducing a superhero, and a super villian, and a super villans son. What ever time is left goes to the rest of the characters, and action sequences.

At first i was a little upset with the green goblins appearance, but then i appreciated it. I mean he looked like the goblin. What did you want a rubber mask? Instead raimi put a little originality in the story with including the suit, making it apart of a military weapon. this saved the director time on having to explain how osbourne came up with the idea of "the green goblin" I thought the suit gave him a presence as well, You look at him, and you see a man in a steel suit, yeah thats overwheliming, again it adds to the characters presence. Even though i highly doubt the military would ever use a helmet that looks like a goblin This movie for the most part was right out of the pages of the comics, with some artistic freedom, and time restraints mixed in.

[/B]

The suit was for the military but I believe the mask was Norman's own personal touch due to the collection of masks he had and how they could put fear into people. I look back and it was clever how they introduced the costume although I still don't completely like it.

The mask was the best that could have been done. The rubber mask that he wears in the comic is impossible to do in the real world.
