And sounded just like I imagined he would. He looked exactly the way he did, at the height of Stan Lee's eminence, in the brightly coloured panels fighting Spider-man in 1968. And he was just a boy himself! Batman? Who's that?įor a super-hero story, nearly everything is perfect in this movie. It felt like Spidey was on the subway with me and would protect me from any harm. It reminded me of a happy youth I forgot I had. The 3 hour commute back home seemed like a breeze because Spider-man 2 awoke the wonder-struck boy inside me. I was thrust into a imaginary super-hero world far more pleasing than anything I could remember since childhood. I was living in Shanghai in the summer of 2004 where I had to commute 3 hours on a hot and dizzy day to see it in English, and was fully rewarded for the effort. I didn't much love Sam Raimi's first Spider-man, and wished my mother could have disposed of his last entry, but _Spider-Man 2_ was, and is, the ultimate movie adaptation from comic-books to the movie screen. In fact, as a benchmark, it is arguably the best comic-book super-hero movie ever made. I await thee Dark Knight.Īgain to my cousin's good fortune, the best movie about Spider-man has been established for quite some time. As far as we know, with Batman's fate resting with Warner Bros, David Goyer, Zak Snider and Ben Affleck, the best Batman movie will not be possible for another decade or two, maybe three. What's truly tragic about being a Batman is that, despite Nolan's recent attempts (and questionable sincerity), the best Batman movie hasn't been made yet. His noble mother preserved his collection with plastic envelopes and to this day they remain in pristine condition. An obsessive Caped Crusader comic-book collector until 1972 when my evil mother tossed the entire bunch in the garbage.
