Spider-Man (2002) (French)

 Si après le succès de Blade (1998), Marvel a poussé à venir avec un film sur l'un de ses plus populaires super-héros : Spiderman, mascotte de Marvel, création de Stan Lee, le robot de mur de la ville de New York. 

 

Peter Parker n'y a personne à l'école : tous les garçons prennent leur plaisir harcelant tandis que les filles moquent juste lui. Qu'une seule fille semble montrer de sympathie pour lui, et cette fille est Mary-Jane Watson. La vie de Peter change pour le mieux lorsque, lors d'un voyage, il est mordu par une araignée nouvellement découverte (dont, bien sûr, lui-même abaissé grâce à un faisceau de rayonnement), mutation lui afin que les obligations de son ADN avec son. Maintenant cette histoire ne tarde pas à émerger car il préfère nous sauver le travail de Peter regarder trouble par le biais de l'école comme un champ de bataille sans effusion de sang. Tout ce que nous voyons est sa transformation, d'un garçon que personne ne savait a existé à un garçon qui attire une attention considérable. (Et pourtant il est évident que, malgré cela, personne ne compare Spiderman pour le garçon, ils ont appelé un monstre. N'importe, personne ne tenait un appareil photo, donc personne ne s'inquiéterait!) 

Puis, il y a Norman Osborne, directeur d'une société militaire appelée Oscorp. Il cherche désespérément à sauver son entreprise de la ruine en faisant du bénévolat comme un cobaye humain pour une expérience que son aide considère comme dangereux. Son adjoint avait raison : les effets secondaires de l'humains exhausteurs inclus force élevée, l'agression et la folie, et c'est ces effets secondaires que l'amener à devenir le Bouffon Vert. (Techniquement, les médias a inventé cette identité.) 

Maintenant, avant que le Bouffon Vert prend la scène, Peter apprend une chose ou deux sur son expérience comme Spiderman : vengeance. Peter enfile sa première création d'un costume de Spiderman ; Il gagne un match de lutte, mais est sous-payé dues à une chute en dessous de la limite de temps. Il voit un voleur qui vole les 2900 $ et lui permet de s'échapper. Après cela, il se rend compte que son goût pour la « vengeance » coût de la vie de son bien-aimé. Voilà donc comment se venger est défini comme une épée à double tranchant. Il est également à partir de là que Spiderman ne doit pas maltraiter ses talents dans un souci d'argent ou de gloire. 

Le Bouffon Vert se manifeste dans l'arrêt Norman Osborne comme un démon dans son esprit. Il veut s'enrôler Spiderman comme partenaire, croyant que Spiderman est juste perdre son temps, parce que tout le monde va le haïr juste. Mais Spiderman sait très bien que confiance doit être gagnée, même s'il doit affronter le méchant à la mort. Spiderman sait qu'il porte un masque, et personne ne peut dire qui ou ce qu'il est, à moins qu'il prouve son allégeance à la ville. Alors que ce soit dans le bord de la mort ou sur le point de perdre ses proches, Peter Parker/Spiderman doit jamais céder à mauvaises intentions. (Les épreuves et les tribulations d'un super-héros) 

 

J. Jonah Jameson, le rédacteur en chef du Daily Bugle, pouvez venir avec n'importe quel nom pour certains caractères. Il est également afficherez contre Spiderman, comme un moyen d'essayer d'exprimer son opinion sur un super-héros adapté masqué qui arrive à apparaître toujours où le désastre frappe. Ce mec est comme un méchant secondaire, toujours faire une réclamation de mauvaise. L'acteur qui joue lui a certainement fait une bonne impression sur le caractère ; prestation solide, suffisamment maquillage, sa ressemblance avec un chef typique de sarcasme. 

 

Prenant note du fait que Spiderman bascule de bâtiment en bâtiment par sa toile d'élingage, le studio devait veiller à ce que la photographie de principe à jour doit être appliquées. Regarder ce film, que je me sentais comme les scènes illustrant sa capacité a été comme un tour de montagnes russes. C'était excitant à regarder lui balancer, je lui regarde comme si nous étions à charnières derrière lui tout le chemin. Il doit avoir été très coûteux car ils devaient garder son web élingage comme détaillée que possible. 

 

Alors laissez-moi deviner : Spiderman avait déjà été popularisée par une série de TV des années 90, et Marvel devait donc faire en sorte que ce personnage a réussi en adhérant à la bande dessinée. Aucune dépense n'a été épargnée, la CGI doit être convaincante, le casting est donc bien choisi, et l'histoire est attachante. Bravo, Columbia Pictures. 

 

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 (2002)

So after the success of Blade (1998), Marvel pushed ahead with a movie about one of its most popular superheroes: Spiderman, Marvel's mascot, Stan Lee's creation, the wall crawler of New York City.

Peter Parker is a nobody in school: all the boys take their pleasure harassing him while the girls just sneer at him. Only one girl seems to show sympathy for him, and that girl is Mary-Jane Watson. Peter's life changes for the better when, on a field trip, he is bitten by a newly discovered spider (which, of course, lowered itself through a beam of radiation), mutating him so that its DNA bonds with his. Now this story does not take long to emerge as it prefers to save us the trouble watching

Peter travail through school as a bloodless battlefield. All we see is his transformation, from a boy that nobody new existed to a boy that attracts considerable attention. (Yet it is obvious that despite this, nobody likens Spiderman to the boy they called a freak. No matter, nobody was holding a camera, so no one would care!)

Then there is Norman Osborne, director of a military corporation called Oscorp. He is desperate to save his company from ruin by volunteering as a human guinea pig for an experiment which his aide considers to be unsafe. His aide was right: the side effects of the human enhancers included insanity, aggression and elevated strength, and it is these side effects that cause him to become the Green Goblin. (Technically, the media invented this identity.)

Now, before the Green Goblin takes stage, Peter learns a thing or two about his experience as Spiderman: revenge. Peter dons his first design of a Spiderman suit; he wins a wrestling match but is underpaid due to falling short of the time limit. He sees a robber who steals the $2900 and lets him escape. After that he realises that his taste for "revenge" cost the life of his loved one. So that is how revenge is defined as a double-edged sword. It is also from there on that Spiderman must not abuse his talents for the sake of money or glory.

The Green Goblin manifests in Norman Osborne as a demon in his mind. He wants to enlist Spiderman as his partner, believing that Spiderman is just wasting his time because everyone will just hate him. But Spiderman knows very well that trust has to be earned, even if he has to face the villain to death. Spiderman knows that he is wearing a mask, and nobody can tell who or what he is unless he proves his allegiance to the city. So whether on the brink of death or on the brink of losing his loved ones, Peter Parker/Spiderman must never yield to evil intentions. (The trials and tribulations of a superhero)

J. Jonah Jameson, the chief editor of the Daily Bugle, can come up with any name for certain characters. He also libels against Spiderman, as a means of trying to express his opinion on a masked suited superhero who happens to always show up where disaster strikes. This guy is like a secondary villain, always making bad claims. The actor who plays him certainly makes a good impression on the character; solid delivery, sufficient make up, his likeness to a typical chief of sarcasm.

Noting the fact that Spiderman swings from building to building by slinging his web, the studio had to ensure that up-to-date principle photography had to be implemented. Watching this movie I felt like the scenes illustrating his ability was like a roller-coaster ride. It was exciting to watch him swing, watching him as though we were hinged behind him all the way. It must have been highly costly as they were to keep his web-slinging as detailed as possible.

So let me guess: Spiderman had already been popularized by a 1990s TV series, and so Marvel had to ensure that this character succeeded by adhering to the comics. No expense was spared, the CGI must be convincing, the cast is so well-chosen, and the story is engaging. Well done, Columbia Pictures. My Rating: 8.6/10
