Spider-Man 2.1 (2004) (French)

 
Peter Parker a une vie à vivre : étant lui-même et en tant que Spiderman. Mais deux personnes s'avère très difficile, car il perd son emploi, perd l'élan dans l'Université, ne peut pas faire face à son loyer et ne pas se présenter pour le jeu de Mary-Jane. Comme un homme qu'il a des responsabilités, mais il ne peut vivre leur si Peter Parker et Spiderman ne peuvent coexister. Alors que faut-il faire ?

Nous pouvons voir que le héros en question perd rapidement ses pouvoirs, car il perd sa volonté d'être Spiderman. Car il a perdu ses pouvoirs, il considère cela comme une bénédiction et non une malédiction, sauf bien sûr si Spider-Man est un milieu de son travail. Mais Parker peut perdre ce pouvoir qu'il croit se fait dans la voie de sa vie normale et essayer de s'adapter à ces choses, en qu'il a été faultering. 

Il y a un scientifique appelé Dr Otto Octavius, qui veut démontrer son expérience sur la fusion nucléaire. Il a le financement d'Oscorp, aujourd'hui dirigé par Harry Osborne et a l'intention de l'amener à la réalité. Il a quatre bras mécaniques appelés actionneurs soudées à son dos et une puce de l'inhibiteur de garder le contrôle de ces armes. L'expérience de fusion commence avec succès et impressionne la foule. Mais il commence bientôt à déstabiliser et provoquer trop d'attraction magnétique, qui mène finalement à la mort de sa femme Rosie et bien sûr la perte de la puce de l'inhibiteur. Cela signifie que l'intelligence artificielle dans les bras peut désormais contrôler lui, et cela le conduit à devenir un méchant appelé Doc Ock (encore une fois, invention de médias par J. Jonah Jameson). Un homme de brillance et d'intelligence a été transformé en un instrument ; les créations ont le contrôle de leur créateur. 

 

En revanche, Harry Osborne soupçonne à tort Spiderman du meurtre de son père Norman et son vœux se venger sur lui. Doc Ock se bloque dans pour le tritium, mais seulement la reçoivent en échange de Spiderman. 

Ce film doit être plus élevé car les scènes de combats sur les bâtiments et même un passage inférieur mobile. Il doit certainement fallu une horde entière d'animateurs d'avoir cette scène terminée, tous pour démontrer l'ampleur que Spiderman irait pour montrer sa dévotion aux New-yorkais. J'aurais pensé cette scène comme profondément superflu, mais Doc Ock veut soumettre son adversaire à son plus faible, afin qu'il peut lui échanger pour le tritium. Compte tenu de la motivation de ce scélérat, je dirais que cette scène de combat illustre l'éclat du savant. 

Peter peut-il provoquer une vie normale si son identité est révélée ? Il peut sembler facile de répondre, mais ce n'est pas. Cependant, nous ne voyons pas ce qui se passe quand il perd son masque lors de l'enregistrement des passagers dans un métro. Son visage apparaît, mais il ne pas se précipiter pour trouver son masque ; en fin de compte, il sauve les passagers et ils lui récompense immensément par ne pas photographier ou filmer l'escapade ou son visage et puis annonce sur internet ou en soumettant à la Daily Bugle. Suppose que Parker était ravi de voir le côté positif de New York après tout ! Il sauve leur vie et ils protègent lui et son identité ! Comment noble ! 

Peut-être la fin plus emblématique est où Doc Ock domine ses bras mécaniques comme il aurait dû faire avant. Cela démontre qu'il était plus tôt emotinally faible et facile à manipuler, même si à ce stade, il est plus fort et en plein contrôle de la situation à portée de main. Il nous donne l'impression qu'il n'était pas conduit à la vilenie par son égoïsme, mais par sa faiblesse. Doc Ock n'est pas un vrai méchant qui ne mérite pas de sympathie. Ce message est également transmis dans la scène où Norman Osborne se manifeste dans un miroir dans le cadre de Harry. Norman exprime sa déception à Harry pour sa faiblesse. Elle renforce le message de soi, de faiblesse et de force dans les aspects physiques et mentaux. 

Donc de ne pas jeter de grandes quantités d'argent sur CGI sans concevoir l'écriture puissante, ce film se penche sur les aspects d'un héros et un méchant et se penche sur la vie des gens ordinaires mais aussi des personnes exceptionnelles. Ce film est quelque chose à retenir car il incarne ce que nous devons trouver chez les personnes qui justifie leurs actes. Ma note : 8.7/10

   

Spiderman 3 (2007)

A third installment in the franchise, Spiderman continues to attract considerable adoration from the inhabitants of New York. He is an icon, a role model, and a hero. Peter Parker, on the other hand, is facing an easier road unlike before, now that he can do well in his studies.

Just like the second movie, the opening credits show us the brief clips of events that took place previously; only this time it recollects events in the first and second installments. In addition to that, they are accompanied by images of sand and ink, a little giveaway to the audience that there are some new villains to watch out for. If any movie were to incorporate footage of previous events, then anyone watching a sequel would be kept up to date.

So now Mary-Jane Watson knows that Spiderman is Peter Parker, and she can understand him better. This movie now decides to give her a story, so that we can engage with her as she experiences the hurdles of her own. Anyway, she has moved on to a show as a singer, and she believes her dreams have come true after her last debut in the second movie. But her dreams do not last much longer as a result of a review; one review in scores of newspapers, and she is laid off from the show. She feels let down and dejected, and we can see her relegated back to square one from the first movie.

Of all the three movies, this one incorporates three villains: New Goblin, Sandman, Venom. If you have studied closely, you will realize that the media does not even bother to name Venom or New Goblin but the Sandman. So you would only know their names if you have studied the source materials.

Harry Osborne is New Goblin; he is still driven to avenge his father even though he was strongly opposed to hunting down Peter (whom he knows as Spiderman). So his motivation is something to debate on. Perhaps since his company has gone bankrupt, he has nothing else to focus on than to avenge his father's death.

Flint Marko is a convict that has broken out of prison. He was implicated of the homicide of Peter Parker's uncle, Ben. Before I dwell on this character I must be frank that this goes against everything we know: the man who robbed the gate-man at the wrestling center is the only suspect to have committed the crime. But this movie decides to change that so that the robber was just an accomplice who wanted nothing more than to drive away with the loot, and that Marko is the one who killed Ben Parker. Even the animated series of the 1990s was more faithful and did not include Flint

Marko/Sandman. (Then this must explain why his accomplice was screaming "Just gimme a chance! Just gimme a chance!!") So what does Marko do when he turns into the Sandman? He just wants to steal money for his sick daughter, even if his wife stands against his escapade. This drives him to do "good" for his little girl, while trying to ward Spiderman off! If this is the case, why don't they just talk? A man with no true motivation for villainy should not even be considered.

There are some plot holes in this story that I cannot miss. The first is where after the security van topples Flint flees the crime scene instead of waiting for Spiderman to leave before absconding with his loot. That was an easy opportunity that he squanders to save his daughter, and for the writers to spare some dough. The second is where Bernard reveals the truth about Norman Osborne's death, even though we the viewers are already aware of the events of the first film where he was not present at the time Norman/The Green Goblin tried to kill Peter/Spiderman. The third is where Eddie Brock/Venom knows about Marko's daughter even though there is no scene explaining this. This scene was deleted because it must be considered a subplot. These plot holes are costly, and the budget could have been smaller if not for convoluted writing.

Something should be noted: Eddie Brock was a worthier candidate for the symbiot unlike Peter Parker because of the predicament he created himself. We have already learned how revenge drives one into villainy, and the symbiot taps into one's negative aura and thrives on one. The symbiot enhances various abilities, but it feeds on hatred and malice, hence the name Venom.

This movie is not all that bad. Its action scenes are to die for, and it gives a female character more screen time and a story of her own. It still suffers from too many villains and excess writing and thus a convoluted plot. Despite these shortfalls, this movie still grossed the most money of the trilogy. My rating: 7.2/10

Spiderman 2.1 (2004)

Peter Parker is struggling: he loses his job as a pizza delivery boy, he lags behind in his studies and cannot keep up with his rent. Most of all, Spiderman must be around whenever trouble brews, even if Parker has to live up to his promises. So being two different individuals is no easy task.

On the other hand, there is a scientist who has been researching on nuclear fusion, and has collaborated with Oscorp in funding his project. Doctor Otto Octavius finally makes a breakthrough in his project, until a glitch causes some perils in the vicinity. He later becomes a scientist with four mechanical arms welded to his body.

This movie revolves around three characters: Peter Parker/Spiderman, Harry Osborne, Dr. Otto Octavius /Doc Ock. Peter Parker is under a lot of pressure after being endowed with his gifts and buckles when he starts to lose his powers. His loss of powers is due to his weakening will to live up to his responsibility as Spiderman; a situation which he chooses to accept so that he can concentrate on the hurdles that matter.

Octavius is turned into a villain, not because he was hell-bent on power but because his actuators were now in control of him. They are artificial intelligence appendages that now tap into his mind and talk to him, making him do What he does not desire to do. A man of brilliance and intellect is manipulated by his very creations when the inhibitor chip is destroyed, so that he is a victim of his own creation. So What do they all aim for? To rebuild the fusion experiment. But they need capital, and the tritium.

This movie continues two years after the last film. Harry Osborne suspects Spiderman of killing his father, and has been hell-bent on revenge. The problem of this kind almost has him too obsessed to focus on his position as the new owner of Oscorp. A story of this sort would certainly be worth gold for the Daily Bugle, especially in the eyes of J. Jonah Jameson. He enlists Octavius' hand in subduing Spiderman in exchange for the tritium, so that he can avenge his father's death.

If Peter Parker was to relinquish his role as Spiderman, he would have to reveal his identity. It was not a problem for him when his mask slipped off while trying to stop a train from ultimate catastrophe: it was either protect his identity, or save the passengers. His reward was that he was protected, and nobody leaked it onto the news (or YouTube! ). I guess Parker did get to see the better side of New York City: nobody was as cruel or dastardly as Jameson to exploit Spiderman's true identity.

So a life turns around for Peter Parker and Spiderman. They can save the people they love without fear of revealing their identities. The story was straightforward, relevant to the situation of dual identities, inspiring and engaging. We see the challenges and triumphs one can experience, and can sympathise with the enemy with a motive.
