Personally for me I felt it lacked a moment that really sold it as the escapism the source material has always been.<br /><br />In the first Spider-Man film we have that moment where Peter saves MJ from the Green Goblin, deposits her on a building, and swings off with an enthusiastic "Woo hooo" and right there, that's the Spider-Man fantasy. You're the nerd pining for the popular girl,you just saved her and were given affection from her and you're on your way, unfettered by gravity or physics! And the film just didn't have that moment.<br />Also Garfield was fine but I thought Peter was a bit of a jerk in this version more than any other.thinkingcoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06211971152903300193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867678243594042401.post-82931366125739617472012-07-21T16:36:29.881-04:002012-07-21T16:36:29.881-04:00David Tedeschi?!?!?!?

Also, Garfield was a nice choice for Peter Parker even if I do miss Tobey Maguire just a tad bit. Just a tad, though.

It came from on high, I believe it may have been Quesada's idea. I still like Jim Salicrup's idea of having Bruce Wilis play Jameson.Barry Dutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16297209405880590485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867678243594042401.post-84677938574108363672012-07-08T23:27:35.014-04:002012-07-08T23:27:35.014-04:00For most of the movie I felt it was good (not grea...For most of the movie I felt it was good (not great), but that crane scene--i wanted to throw a brick at the screen--much like I wanted to at the end of (500) Days.
