Since 2002
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)
I’ve noticed some jokes recycled from the first movie; I need to see if they use them again in the third film, that would make for a very drawn-out rule of three.
This movie seems to be both more serious, and yet also more silly at the same time than the first one.
I can definitely see the Flanderization of Jack Sparrow beginning to occur.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
This is so much closer to the Monkey Island games than it is to the ride.
And now I want to both ride the ride, and play all of the Monkey Island games again.
It feel like Peter Parker and aunt May just keep getting younger and younger.
And now we have yet another love interest for Peter Parker. Oop, and now she’s gone.
I’m beginning to have seen enough of these that the contradictions between different versions are starting to become weird.
YEAH! Dan Aykroyd and John Candy!
Feels like Chevy Chase should have been in there somewhere.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
I normally watch movies 10% or 20% faster in VLC, the action in this one was too fast and I had to watch it normal speed.
Again, it’s interesting to see what’s different, and what stays the same from version to version.
I think Harry had a better motivation for hating Spider-Man in the other movies.
Certainly very different from the Tobey Maguire trilogy. It’s nice though, not being too entrenched in any specific adaptation; nothing feels inherently wrong about anything that happens, and I’m able to enjoy each one as its own, valid interpretation of Spider-Man.
The Amazing Spider-Man – # 2 & 3
So it turns out that the reason these two episodes are together is because they’re actually a two hyphen parter (allright, I’ll retire the hyphen joke…), so what the heck, I’m counting it as a credit again.
In this episode, one of Peter Parker’s collage professors, for whatever reason, gets some plutonium for his class. Everyone complains that this is dangerous; but the professor doesn’t listen, so three students decide to prove just how dangerous it is by…stealing the plutonium and building an atom bomb. The bomb is then stolen by Mr Richbastard, who at first attempts to sell the bomb; but then attempts to extort money by threatening to blow up the president. In the end, Spider-Man saves the day, etc, etc.
The movie villains were a lot more interesting, instead of being, “I’m already rich; but I want even more money! Nya ha ha! *twirls mustache*”
The Amazing Spider Man 70´s TV series Ep 1 Pilot
Eh, It’s long enough. I’m counting this as a movie credit.
Hoo-boy…this did not age gracefully at all; but I love every minute of it because of it.
I missed the Stan Lee cameo in 2; I did see him in 1; but I suppose I looked away for a second in 2. Obviously I saw him in 3. He’s impossible to miss when he actually talks.
I hate to compare this to Superman 3 but…in Superman 3 you had the good Superman and the evil Superman, then finally the fight between Clark Kent and evil Superman. In Spider Hyphen Man 3 you have the good Spider Hyphen Man and the evil Spider Hyphen Man, then at the end, Spider Hyphen Man vs Venom. Luckily the parallels between the two threes aren’t too tight, otherwise Spider Hyphen Man would have had to fight Venom as Peter Parker.
Final rating for the trilogy: hyphen out of hyphen
More Spider Hyphen Man! Woo!
So far I’m actually feeling bad for the villains in these. Interesting.
There’s another Rule of Three here, poor Peter Parker just can’t get himself a snack at the party.
Anyway, I think the takeaway from all of this is that spider hyphen powers require both spider hyphen DNA AND kisses from Mary Jane to work properly.
