That's true you can't. But someone can dislike your opinion and openly state it, it's THEIR opinion that YOUR opinion is wrong, so their opinion that your's is wrong is an opinon, and, opinions can't be wrong..
And back to the "Spider-man 2" "Shrek 2" debate, yes "Spider-man 2" is a much more advanced film.. plot wise. Then again Spider-man and Shrek were both intended for different target audiences. Keep in mind that spider-man 2 has to be easy enough so that little 7 year-old Jimmy, who wants to be spider-man can understand it and 23 year-old comic book collector..NED can relate back to comics and enjoy it. They're also two different genres, so they shouldn't be compared.

There's only one form of an opinion, which is personal. Your problem is you present opinion as a matter of fact, when it's not. I asked for instances in the movie that seperate it from all others, and you failed to do so, just stating what you felt.
There's no logical comparison between Tobey's performance in "Spiderman" movies to that of, say, Jack Nicholson in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next", Adrien Brody in "The Pianist", or Orson Welles in "Citizen Kane". If anyone were so mentally handicapped as to think there is a comparison, not only are they wrong by virtue, they are totally alone in thinking so.
The plot of "Spiderman 2" is no more advanced that that of a television series' plot. Hero saves the day from evil villain and gets the girl. It doesn't get any more simple, or unoriginal.
As for "Shrek", it's a clever amalgam of all your favorite fairy tales, modernized with some great adult humor, topped off with some groundbreaking animation, which is fun for the entire family.
Both are targeted at the same audience, being average movie goers, while "Spiderman" will have a natural edge because of the 40 year old comic franchise. If they were geared towards anyone other than the mainstream, they would be released in the Winter or Spring, when fewer people would see it.
Both franchises intentions are clear, to get their product to as many people as possible, not being selectively permiable as to who can or will want to see their films.

Yeah well I guess thats a natural choice if your a kid but for adults its Spidey. 😄
Check my profile, FP. I'm old enough to interview you for a job opening. Shrek and Shrek 2 are both extremely original, creative works. And some of the humor in Shrek and its sequel would be wasted if it were solely directed to 8-year olds.

I wasn't saying they were being selective. What I was saying with the target audience was that they could have made the movie much more complicated, it would have been stupid but they could have quite possibly done it. However, their audience is made up of quite a diverse age range so the younger ones to be able to understand it. I'm sure it wouldn't matter, because the kids would go see it anyway but if they didn't understand it then less kids would go see it and more middle aged -- adults would go see it. I agree, they don't care who sees it as long as someone is seeing it but if they wanted to make the plot better they would risk loosing half of their audience.

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.😈
Um, TECHNICALLY, all of the stories that Shrek 2 pays homage to have existed well before the 1960's. People have grown up with fairy tales and nursery rhymes a whole heck of a lot longer...
Careful with the Scottish digs, too... lest you find Connor MacLeod waiting on your doorstep one day...
Do you mean "Film of the last 4 years" or "Film of the last century"
Last century - A Matter of Life and Death (Powell/Pressburger)
This century Spider-Man 2.
No - just kidding - Amelie (so far) with "The Shipping News" a close second.

Amelie? That was a strange little movie. I did like Amelie's "unresponsive" sex scene... rather humorous. But a better French movie than Triplets of Belleville. That was just plain odd.
