Spiderman and Spiderman 2

    For those of you who haven't seen the first Spiderman movie, see it. The accuracy of the movies to the Spiderman comic franchise isn't very high.
The movie lacks several major key details from the comics, the most obvious being in the first movie Spiderman gains his powers through the bite of a
genetically altered spider on a school field trip, when in the comics he gains them during a science experiment of Doctor Connors' with radiation, and the
spider that bites him becomes radioactive. The other major flaw in the first movie is that Oscorp, the company Norman Osborne runs didn't develop
the Goblin Gear or gliders, they were stored in Oscorp without anyone knowing by the first goblin, the Hobgoblin, Jason Phillips, and the experiment
with the serum exposed and altered the armor, turning it green and making Norman insane. Finally, the bridge scene at the end of the movie ended
far different in the comics. The Green Goblin was supposed to steal a malfunctioning teleporter from Stark Laboratories and use it during the fight
with Spiderman. When he opens a portal, it won't close and when the goblin throws Mary Jane Watson off the bridge she enters the portal and disappears forever.
The Goblin enters another portal and Spiderman was about to kill him, but then decides to help him before he gets pulled in, and like in the movie
the goblin uses his remote glider to try and hit Spiderman, and he jumps out of the way, and the glider hits him into the portal as it closes.

Aside from these variations the movies were very well-made. The quotes made by Spiderman and The Green Goblin in the first one, and Aunt May in the second were very well thought-out by the script writers. These Quotes may not be exact because I'm using my memory
and have only seen each movie a couple times but they're close:

    "This is why only fools are heroes Spiderman, because you never know when some lunatic is going to
    come along with a sadistic choice. Let die the woman you love, or... suffer the children."
    -Green Goblin

    "People love a hero, but what people love more is to see a hero fail, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them eventually they will hate you."
    -Green Goblin

    "I believe there is a hero in all of us, someone who gives us strength, courage, who tells us to hold on a second longer..."
    -Aunt May

    "Who am I? Are you sure you wanna know? The story of my life is not or the faint of heart. If someone said I was just your average-ordinary
    guy not a care in the world, somebody lied. But let me assure you, this story, like any other worth telling, is all about a girl.."
    -Spiderman

Both movies were very well-made. The second one may even be better. It's more realistic than most movies about comic book characters because
it shows how Spiderman's everyday life is. His suit rips, he messes up his clothes in the washing machine, it covers how he gets from place to place, etc.
