RC Spidey 2 suggestion

Both of the movie reviews talked about the directors adaptation of the comic to the film. The authors of the reviews had opposite opinions on the film, but they both focused on similar aspects of Spider Man 2. Todd Gilchrist review showed that he did not like the sequel as much as he did the first film. Gilchrist said that many screens longer than they needed too, and the directors message was expressed more than needed. Gilchrist's example about the elevator scene in the movie made it easy to see his point. Watching Spider man use the elevator shows that he is trying to act normal. We do not have to watch him ride the elevator all the way to the top just to understand he is trying to be normal.

Roger Ebert's review showed that he really enjoyed the sequel better than the first Spider man. Unlike Gilchrist, Ebert like how the director expressed his messages in the film. Ebert thought that the director flawless connected the story for the comic book readers and for the fans of the first movie. In Ebert's review he wrote that some people do not like Spider man 2 because it focuses more on the responsibility Peter has to deal with more than focuses on his powers. Ebert believes that the focuses helps make the movie better and different from other superhero films.

I think that both of the reviews dealt more with personal preference than anything else. Both of the authors expressed their views on the film. After they expressed their views, they gave examples that illustrates their point. Gilchrist did not like the film because he thought the scenes were drawn out too much. He pointed out many scenes that wen ton longer than they should have. Ebert liked the film and he talked about why he liked the film. Both of the reviews seemed more about personal preference. Gilchrist did mention anything that he liked about Spider man 2, and Ebert did not mention any dislikes about the film as well.
