It’s a hit! Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a bona-fide blockbuster with quite a few blocks literally getting busted in the film. I finally got to see it and I have to say it wasn’t half bad.

I’m still uncomfortable with the changes they have made to the character and the story but then, who cares what I think? I’ve been a Spider-Fan for 50 years (yikes!) but I’m not really the target audience for this film. Or any film! Movies are made for young people and what do young people know or care about those first few issues by Steve Ditko? This version of Spider-Man seems to start when Jazzy Johnny Romita took over the comic book and it goes from there. I vividly remember being shocked and upset by that transition at the time. I guess I’m still not over it. But there has been a lot of water under the bridge since Spidey lost his glasses and gained a spit curl. And lots of fine artists have come and gone, like Jim Mooney, Gil Kane, Andru & Esposito, and all the rest. So get over yourself D.J. David B., and enjoy the movie for what it is! Classic cover gallery to follow. Then enjoy the theme music from the summer hit.
