PP was good, although didn't you think he was the prize sugar plum fairy at the end...!!!

 

Must disagree with you vehemently here Chet!

There was possibly only two or three memorable lines for me from Spiderman
Such as Peter's 'Nice outfit - did your husband choose it for you?'

Yet hordes from X-Men such as 'What would you prefer? Yellow spandex?!'
or
'Oh yes... lighting in a copper conductor. I thought you worked in a school?'
And those were just straight off the top of my head!

I think the crux of the 'indifference' for me was that I had no real connection with the character or the film.
Never read Spiderman and although I had sympathy with the character and with his story - it wasn't like X-Men which I had read and enjoyed and conversely got caught up in the 'sparring' between Prof X and Magneto, in Logan's search for answers and Rogue's search for acceptance.

Ooo - did anyone catch 'The Hollywood Machine' on Saturday night? Very interesting!

 

aah, you've never read spiderman. that would explain it then. I used to read both spidey and x-men. Spidey film is much truer to the comic and has loads more in jokes and name dropping.

But the main reason i didn't like x-men that much was it was a bit one dimensional compared to the comic, where as spidey had more emotion for me. , Norman Osbourne, Harry Osbourne, MJ and her troublesome life, petey,

Also, the x-men film was too short, a few set pieces and then it was over. They only scratched the surface on the rivalry between wolverine and cyclops, prof x was comatosed. If it wasn't for magneto, I would have thought the whole film was rubbish.


And, Spidey's much cooler than the x-men anyways.
