*sigh* Goddamnit, LJ is trying my patience to hell. *scowls*
So, Spidey 2. *big cheesy grin* I have a new favorite woobie, and his name is Peter Parker.
My thoughts? Much, much better than the first one. I mean, I *liked* the first one but it was corny as fucking *hell* in far too many places for me to really love it.
This film, for the most part, lost the corniness. It was funnier, sexier (although I was *very upset* that there was only, like, one shot of Tobey Maguire half-naked), and just all around a much better movie. Tobey Maguire totally owned the role, man. I am, like, SO in love with him. Must read Spider-man comics NOW!
I still fucking LOATHE Mary Jane in this movie. What a frigging idiot! "Oh no! Spider-man is saving me from this WALL about to fall on me! Boy, that looks really heavy! He doesn't look like he can hold it up much longer! So I'll just stand here and stare adoringly into his eyes and wait for his strength to fail and the wall to KILL US BOTH."
And god, was she a bitch. I'm sorry, but missing someone's play is not a capital offense. And man, leaving someone at the altar is just not cool, I don't care how in love she was. And an ass ugly wedding dress, too.
Stuff I LOVED with LOTS AND LOTS OF HEARTS:
--Doc Ock. Now *that* is how villains should be. The creepy arms, his humanity, the sinister-ness, the FIGHT SCENES omg the fight scenes, the smiling, the... the just... *siiiiiiigh* I love Willem Dafoe, but oh man did this guy ever kick Green Goblin's ass.
--The all-around DORKINESS of this film! Omg, the opening scene, the PIZZAS I am so in love. The raindrops scene! The ELEVATOR! And poor Spider-man who keeps falling in dark alleys. Just... just. The dorkiness! Eeee!
--J. Jonah Jameson, man. My love for him is PURE.
--Harry. Oh god, he was such a little BITCH (He BITCHSLAPPED Peter, man! That was a *bitchslap*!) but I loved him. The ending was sooo creepy. I'm actually not quite *sure* what they're going to do with him--I mean, yeah, he's supposed to become the Hobgoblin and all, but 1) is that not the crappiest villain name ever? Come on! and 2) they did make it seem like he still didn't want to do it. I mean... I think (I hope) it could go either way.
And man, that scene where he has Peter TIED UP ON THE BED was, like, the slashiest thing ever. Straight out of a slash fic, man.
--the fight choreography. Holy. Fucking. SHIT.
--The message Peter left on M.J.'s phone. *wibble* Just because I loathe M.J. doesn't mean that I am not totally, totally won over by Peter being in love with her. Dear lord did Tobey Maguire pull that off well.
--How much Peter *suffered* in this movie. Yes, yes, I'm an angst ho. I like to see my favorite characters writhing in PAIN and misery. Man. PeterWOOBIE.
Now I'm fantasizing about cool comic crossovers. (See, this is what I do when I discover a new fandom. I cross it over with my other favorites.) You know, I bet Tim Drake and Peter Parker would get along *really* well...
Also? I *must* have the Ultimate Blockbuster trade now. Peter! And Wolverine! And Peter! And Wolverine! And-*slaps self*
And godammit my
xmmficathon story haaates meeeeee. *cries*
Oh, yes, and: GIP. Bobby so pretty when he's angsty.
