In Reply to: "Attack of the Clones" is NOT permanently rotten... posted by mikenyc on May 19, 2002 at 16:30:29:
When it comes right down to it Spider-Man is just a far better film and worthy of repeated viewings. My wife and I saw "Attack of the Clones" once; it's doubtful that there'll be any "cloned" viewings. I will say this having seen Episode II earlier today, "Clones" was better than Episode I and marginally better than my expectations. Granted, it didn't take much to be better than my expectations, but it was watchable and at times bordered on entertaining.As for your mild rant about anomalies and what Stan Lee has waiting in the wings, both X-Men and Spider-Man have lived up to their hype; there's no reason to expect that future films based on Marvel comics characters will be less than respectful of the original concepts or filmgoing audience. Can you say the same of the Star Woes track record? If you want to talk about institutions, Stan Lee is quite honestly much more of an American treasure than George Lucas or any of the SW films except, perhaps, Episode IV (Lucas first effort and the only good one to date that he himself directed) and Episode V (which Lucas didn't direct).
SW Episode II vs. Spidey: "No comparison really." You're correct, Spider-Man has excellent direction, involving characters, good acting, thoughtful dialogue, plausible love interest, taught pacing, and oh yes, ...it had an interesting story. So what does SW "Clones" have? It has LOTS of special effects, it has LOTS of cliches, it has predictability, it has all the hype Lucas can muster behind it. Did I leave anything out?
