It rings true for more then just the Spider-Man movies.Hating a comic book, or even just book, based movie because it does not hold 100% true to the original telling of said story is dumb. Look at the LOTR movies. Those who have read the books first noticed a lot of changes, but I still liked the movies. They cannot stay 100% true to the comics for Spider-Man, or the first movie would have been an 8-part movie.
I agree with you a little, there was some unnecessary changes made. I, for one, hated that Spider-Man had organic webbing. Web Cartrages was one of his weaknesses. Just look at the 1990's cartoon.
"Oh, no. Out of webbing! No captured bad guys?!"
And look at X-2... where was Collosus (sorry about spelling, I am typing a little quick.) accent? He isn't Russian anymore? But, it is the little details like the aforementioned that allow us to nit-pick, which can be fun.
However, speaking as a Spider-Man fan from birth, you cannot speak on behalf of everyone that is a Spider-Man fan, because I did like the first movie. I thought it was the best it could have been.
Also, if you disagree with me, I probably wont care because this is my last day at KMC, pending Vampiree lets me leave.
Thats just it though. Never have I ever said I hated the movie because it was not exactly like the comics.I enjoyed Daredevil immensely even though it could have been better because even though it had some changes in it like Bullseyes costume being different than the comics,the kingpin being black instead of white,those were reasonable changes that were not just plain stupid and pointless. organics and goblin costume-man that goblin suit was a total joke,people laughed at how stupid looking he was -and these were non fans,screwing up MJ'S character making her into gwen stacy instead of MJ,plain stupid changes that were totally uncalled for.as I have said before,if you want to see a movie that was wriiten mostly for kids, watch the manspider movie,you want to see a quality comicbook film made for an adult with reasonable changes,watch daredevil.
