Spider-Man with Style

"I promise it’ll make you laugh, scream and if you’re a softie (wuss), it’ll make you cry."

By Hyter Runnels III

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, if he can't make a good movie no one can… man, this is a good movie. I give it a huge spidey web. It was funny, action-packed, and if it didn't have you on the edge of your seat, it had you falling out of your seat from laughing. Even the corny jokes that you knew were coming made you laugh! I enjoyed everything about this movie, and now I’ll tell you why (I promise not to give away the ending).

Spider-Man 2 had great special effects that really made me think ol’ Spidey was flying through air on his webs. There were parts where I asked myself how in the world did they do that?, even though I knew most of it is computer animated. The visual effects are so good that if I were naïve and dumb enough, I could have almost believed the scenes were real.

Doctor Octopus was a cool villain, but I thought he needed a better costume. I mean, he looked like he was walking around in some torn-up rags. It would have been OK with me if he were a little more nerdy, since he was supposed to be a doctor after all. But I thought he really came to life as a character. I mean, I even cheered him on when he pulled some of his stunts.

If you’re looking for something to do on a Saturday or Sunday this summer, just go see this movie. Until then, you’ll be missing out on all the talk in the neighborhood. I promise it’ll make you laugh, scream and if you’re a softie (wuss), it’ll make you cry. No one in the world should miss it, and if you do miss it, I hope you get mugged on the way to your car so you can yell to Spider-Man for help. If you don’t go to see it soon, he might not come to your rescue.

P.S. All bootleggers stay away from this movie, not because I’m trying to hurt your money, but because you’ll just mess up the special effects.
