acroyearon saturday, i watched a marathon of the Spiderman films on DVD, including seeing 3 which I hadn't seen yet.
i did notice a strong parallel to the original Superman movies...
1) lead character gets powers, falls for girl but knows he can't have her
2) lead character loses powers for love, gets them back, saves girl (again)
3) lead character gives in to his dark side, abusing his powers, due to an alien influence. in the process, he acts on a crush on another old flame, making first girl jealous.
which does make one i suppose grateful that there wasn't a
4) movie just totally sucked, not worth summarizing.
;)
UPDATE: oh, and 1 b) lead character given great advice by adopted father figure, who dies soon after. (but that at least was in the original comics...)
