The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand
What do you do when you're bored at work, Megamall is only a couple of blocks away from your office, and your boss scoots off after lunch? Why, be the first in line to see
the new Spider-Man movie of course!
So I saw
Spider-Man 2 during my lunch break (which took almost four hours). To borrow the term we used in high school for sneaking out, nag-ninja ako. (I don't know what I love more about the term, the way it uses 'ninja' as a verb, or just because I think the word 'ninja' is inherently funny. Ninja! Ninja! Ninja!)
I thought I was off scot-free when, on the way back, the torrents came down and drenched me all over. Back at the office, everyone probably just assumed that I was stuck in the rains which was why it took me so long to get back. Still doesn't explain the presence of my new Spidey tumbler.
As for the movie, I thought it was really amazing. I wasn't blown away like I was with the first movie, but that's only because I already saw the first movie and I had some idea of what to expect. To borrow a term from
Ten Things I Hate About You, I was just whelmed.
But it was a flawless movie, and I really don't have anything bad to say about it. Sam Raimi even threw in a Kirsten-Dunst-in-a-wet-dress scene to keep guys like me happy. The only big distraction for me was Mary Jane's hair; Kirsten Dunst should have kept the wig, that had a better color than her hair in this movie, which looked like a cheesy spaghetti sauce shade of orange.
Just watch out for the amazing sequence on the elevated train. And the final battle against Doc Ock *and* the Goblin, that shit was crazy. Oh, and the hints of Venom for the third movie...
