Film Of The Century!

Started by furryman6 pages

If I had the choice to see Shrek 2 or Spidey 2 again - it'd probably be Shrek.

Yeah well I guess thats a natural choice if your a kid but for adults its Spidey. 😄

Well Spiderman 2 is the best movie I have seen all year and it really is horrible how Shrek 2 has almost broken 750 million since May 19th. What kind of state is the world in when a green, ogre with a Scottish accent can almost trample a pop culture icon like Spiderman, who's existed since the early 1960's???? A really bad state.😈

Your absolutely right it makes me sick to my stomach 😘
I'm afraid we only have one last hope my friend and that is that Spider-Man 2 takes everything back from Shrek 2 thats why I have supported this film since before it was even released. Go Spidey 😄

Ever consider maybe you're a little partial. Besides, have you seen either "Shrek" or "Shrek 2" lately? It's very entertaining, and alot of fun.

Being an adult, and an animated movie, makes no difference.

Yes I have seen Shrek 2 and like I said before its great for kids but for the more sophisticated moviegoer Spider-Man 2 is more entertaining it has relationships, action, story, and all the elements needed. Shrek 2 is suppose to be for kids so you might get a cheap laugh out of it but its not what you would see yourself voting for as the film of the year at the end of this year. 😉

"Sophisticated"?

People who are looking for sophistication in cinema sure as shit aren't going to see "Spiderman". That's what film society screenings, and independent films are for. Not safe, summer blockbusters. Not only are you coming off as partial, you seem a little delusional as well, frankly. 😕

It's a fact, not opinion, that "Spiderman 2" is far from sophisticated, itself. The same elements in "Spiderman 2" can be found in basically any other comic book, or action movie, at that.

Don't let a bias or personal opinion take control of your better judgment, man. Keep in mind, movies are subjective, and people are going to have opinions, most of which that aren't easily swayed by enticement.

If thats what you think thats your problem 😉 But I will say this I COMPLETELY disagree with you.

And you, yours, and I with you. The movie is far from complex, or intellectually stimulating. That's why it's a run of the mill summer movie from a big studio.

We both think differently undeniably so we can debate about the cinematic value of Shrek 2 and Spider-Man 2 all day. 😉

I'm not debating that, I'm debating the fact that "Spiderman" is far from sophisticated. The opinion half of what movie is more enjoyable is totally subjective, and there's no point in debating over it.

I didn't say I was ging to debate about anything I just said that if I began discussing Spider-Man 2 and how great or not great it is we would be at this all day. 😉

I understand, so why not explain to my what makes "Spiderman" so sophisticated? I'd like to hear your reasoning for what would make it the supposed "film of the century". Not opinions, or a predisposition to liking it because of the comics, but actual instances that seperate it from other movies of the same genre.

Ok...whatever. The bottom line is Spiderman 2 is a better and more endearing film anyhow.

Same could be said for "Shrek, "Star Wars", or any other franchise of movies that someone grew up watching. Again, it's all subjective, and held to opinion.

Just because "Spider Man" is a product of American pop culture doesn't necessarily make him any more endearing in mainstream media than the next icon, especially given not every one reads comic books.

Yes, it is subjective and I can dislike Shrek If I want. Plain and simple.😆

Indeed, that's the beauty of free will and opinion. Makes for great debate, and I see that nobody is disputing my claims, because I'm being reasonable.

You can like or dislike a movie for what you feel it is. No need to build it up to something it's not, for the sake of trying to prove it's "better" than another, which is personally subjective, or because of personal bias.

I loved both movies, no need to hold a grudge because of box office draw. "Spiderman" will always have more fan support than Shrek, guaranteed.

What seperates it from the other movies of the same genre is that the acting is perfect no overacting or underacting the relationships and personel conflicts perfectly depicted unlike other films such as Hulk and Daredevil. I did not say it was film of the century I said it was my film of the year 😉 remember there is still Spider-Man 3 in May 2007

Yea...what ^he said^. ✅

Alright. More opinions, just as I suspected.

Thanks, guys.
