So to preface this, I wrote everything in my notes app while watching this so if it seems more jumbled than usual...there's why
Pt. 1
Not a better movie than Spider-Man 2, but having Garfield and Stone along with Rhys and Sally Fields works heavily in the movie's favor.
Scenes between Gwen and Peter seem genuine, from the first scene onwards
Not good subway scene with the ripping the woman's dress off, but the accidental fight scene is fine but clunky
Having Stone and Garfield as your two leads is world's better than Dunst and Macguire although Garfield was like 27 looking like a college junior tbh.
Peter being "spider-like" by wanting to eat flies and shit???
Uncle Ben and Aunt May are good, Sally Field is not as good as the one in Raimi's but she's still dope
Rhys ifans is a good actor and makes me feel sorry for Curt Connors as a person
Lizard design is no bueno
Peter at school is fine, he's just a dude who's known for taking pics and is bullied by Flash for being a smart kid who takes pics
Shows his intelligence from the jump, the little scene between Gwen and Peter highlights this as well as the audience is outwardly told he is second in their senior class. Then of course the creation of the webbing taking inspiration from what he saw at Oscorp
Flash is just an asshole jock, no real depth until he feels bad that Ben is dead and you see he obviously has pain he's dealt with. He's genuine when talking to Peter and I wish there was more time with him in this movie or the sequel.
This basketball scene is fucking abysmal who thought this was a good idea? Paints Peter as overly vindictive. Also having that awful wire work happen was yuck. Thankfully Ben tells him he was being an ass for no damn reason which works out well.
The exhibition of Pete trying out his newfound agility is fine, weird music choice but I get it, he's on cloud 9 after his interaction with Gwen where she basically says yes to a date or something with him.
Scene with Peter and Connors developes their characters and conveys a relationship well. But it of course also shows that Pete needs to set his priorities in order. Sheen's anger at Peter makes sense here, basically saying with great power comes great responsibilty. Then Peter is a dick saying "Well where is he to tell me this?" Bro he's dead and that's low.
The fact that it's always, Peter is so damn petty over a small grevience that leads to Ben getting killed always got to me. Like he's so petty over being told he can't take a penny or that he wasn't paid enough for the wrestling show or whatever, that he sees a crime and is like "whatcha gonna do?"
I do like that Peter never finds the killer, that thread is never closed off, it's just there to show Peter's failiure which is nice.
I like that in his first scene trying to find the killer, he doesn't fight them head on, he runs away and uses his agility to get the better of the criminals. The scene with him engineering the webbing is a small but nice scene again showing some amount of intellect without just blatently saying it. Cgi in this first swinging scene...could be better.
I remember how hype yet tepid everyone was seeing the first person swinging scene, wish it lasted longer than five seconds in the actual film but it still looks nice actually.
The first Spider-Man scene is honestly good, yes even him yelling crotch as he flies crotch first into the thief. The webbing scene is nice too.
This scene between May and Peter had me feeling for Aunt May. Her husband just died and her nephew is out late at night with bruises and she knows nothing about why or why he's out so late, it's short and coulda been longer, but it's decent.
Gwen also being a kinda awkward human when around Peter makes them as a whole feel more genuine as people. This scene between Gwen and Peter is cute, with the crumpled flowers and all that then him looking like a schmuck.
Peter makes mistake number 0 at a dinner with a girl you like and her family, challenging that authority. Plus lets Peter kinda figure out his own ideas as to what he wants to be as a hero. A man with a personal grudge against grungy looking white guys who look like Curt Hawkins, or someone who wants to Make a true difference.
