I thought that it was the best comic character adaptation I had ever seen. Spiderman wasn&#8217;t bent on bringing love and happiness and flowers to the world for no reason like Superman, and was a cooler representation of a black little skinny thing than Batman. It&#8217;s probably because Stan Lee produced the movie that it had such a realistic feel to it, but kept the comic book attitude (the movie X-Men was also a good work of his). I thought the action scenes were amazing, mostly because there was a lot of emotion in each one. (Especially the one after Uncle Ben DIES. That&#8217;s not a spolier, since you&#8217;re supposed to know that from the comic&#8230; I did.) Of course, I was a bit disturbed with an explosion at a freaking NEW YORK LANDMARK, and I found it cheesy to have him grasp an American flag in the last scene. But eh, that&#8217;s the movie industry.<\/p>\n<p>Also about movies, we finished Metropolis in my anime club, meaning that the club&#8217;s over for the rest of the year. I&#8217;m getting a lot of support from members of the club, so I plan to continue it next year (even though I showed all the really good ones this year). And I&#8217;ve already got a list of animes&#8230; Princess Mononoke (which I&#8217;d promised not to show this year because of a dare), Spirited Away (by the same people), and Barefoot Gen (the most brutal anime I know of&#8230; and it&#8217;s historical fiction). Hooray for anime!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boy, do I love Fark. And, uh, since I can&#8217;t put a link inside a link, here&#8217;s Fark.
