    What a man??? Not a hero!!!

    I remember the time when we as kids used to sit in front of TV hours before we heard our favorite song and cartoon serial - Spiderman. Spiderman. Friendly, neighborhood Spiderman. When I saw the first movie, I thought this was a good start, but not an excellent one. When I saw the second movie I swptr I did not have any intention of being happy or satisfied.

    How many of us go to any movie expecting things? Not many, I have realized. But at least with Spiderman we expect swinging and jumping around and quality action. Well, what happens in Spiderman 2 is a disaster. I go to the hall as excited as the seven-year-old sitting next to me and wait for the movie to start in anticipation.

    The first shock came when Spiderman decided not to be Spiderman!! He wants to be a lover and a good boy with his aunt. He wants to earn a living by being a pizza delivery guy and make all dependent on him happy and go to a play and make his girlfriend happy. Educate him during the same time to earn well, probably. I seriously thought, what's the difference between him and me? I do everything except make webs from my wrists and I am scared of heights.

    And the second shock came towards the end of the movie where Spiderman resorted to saving his girlfriend and indirectly asked the bad Doctor to save the world by sinking in with the reactor!! Hello man, you are a hero and you need to do both.

    The final shock is that he revels his identity, like the worst idea of this movie, to everyone. Hey, the kids in the train don't have to tell you that they won't reveal your identity. A hero is someone who fights with his secrecy well protected for the safe keeping of his loved ones, like Superman, Batman, Cat Woman, Bat Girl, the Phantom etc., etc., etc. Here our hero shows his face to a pack of citizens in train, his girlfriend, his close friend and the villain. Who's left, the aunt? OK. I know what happens. MJ will tell his aunt who Spiderman is.

    Spiderman 2 has only 3 action swings, one in the local train, second during the climax, third, yes oh yes, the pizza delivery boy Spiderman. Hey, come on, you are Spiderman. Do what you do for a living off screen! Don't use your super powers to deliver pizza and make Mr. Aziz happy! The whole movie was a real big shock, and I'm hoping the movie makers soon realize "WITH GREAT POWERS COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY" and do not make the same mistake of making a action hero into a lover boy.

    Before I end I really fell in love with the girl next door to Spiderman who feeds him in anticipation of his innocent smile. Can somebody tell me what her name was on screen? Want to dedicate a small section on her on my web page.
