OK, second-time viewing of Spidey, because I was ready. (Yes, already. Two weeks wasn't long enough to digest Fellowship, but I'm ready to go again with Spiderman after 48 hours. What does that tell you?) And also because I absolutely had to see this movie with J2, because, like, dude. Just had to.
My thoughts:
1: Dafoe rocks. So much. Humongous amounts. He is so brilliantly marvellous that he actually manages to pull off being an insane demonic villain. Do you know how rare that is? Do you have any idea?
2: I love the comicbookness. Yes, I can even make grudging acceptance of the sillier aspects of the story (like MJ) if it comes with corner-of-the-mouth references to "the Amazing Spiderman!"
3: Goddamn webslinging looks like fun.
4: I managed to remain attentive for the entirety of Peter declaring his feelings this time, and realised that I did actually miss stuff the first time. I just remember suddenly blinking and thinking: "Hell, is he still talking?" I realised that what that whole speech really reminds me of is that bit in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure when the jock's giving his history presentation and it goes: "Everything's... bigger and yet... smaller... There's computers... and..." But, as J2 noted, Peter doesn't end his speech with an appeal for a cheer, which would have made everything much more interesting.
5: I spotted a continuity error. Can I be a geek now?
6: My favourite scene is still the "Go web, go!" scene, though. It makes me giggle.
7: Tobey is, unfortunately, far too much a boy for me to find him attractive. What the fuck is with his mouth?
