Spider-Man 2 Has Over 30 Mistakes

Jon Sandys writes "Spider-Man 2 may have won over the critics, but the hard-nosed bastards at moviemistakes.com are listing 31 mistakes already - and no, not nitpicky stuff that's different from the comics. A scar swaps sides on Peter Parker's face and dummies are visible in hurled cars, not to mention the numerous errors involving tritium which I'm sure Slashdot readers will enjoy refuting. Read the complete listing on the Spider-Man 2 page." Also, people bitten by spiders don't generally become ultra-powerful.

I wonder if the real olsen twins have ever seen this stuff on slashdot.

If you guys are this critical...

[Crouching Turbo]

... how can you even stand a single episode of Star Trek (any series)?? The bullshit meter is through the roof on those shows but you guys never complain. :P

IT'S A GOOD MOVIE, JUST ENJOY IT.

I found an important error!

[laserbeak]

Well the slashdot logo clearly says "stuff that matters"...

Re:IT"S A MOVIE, FOR CHRIST"S SAKE!

[Anonymous Coward]

of course Orson Scott Card also believes that gays already have the right to marry, as long as its someone of the opposite sex.

Thus the world he's created for himself in his head is not only improbable, but also asinine.

Re:It had to be said...

[Anonymous Coward]

Nah, this is done in the States...see recent movie by a man named Moore.

Lighten up! No wonder you guys can't get laid. Enjoy it and quit your bitching!

Re:i didn't like the demonization of fusion

[kamapuaa]

liked the movie, but i did not like the demonization of fusion in spider man ii

in a world of smog and wars fought over oil prices (pro-iraq war people: read why iraq invaded kuwait, anti-iraq war people: read why us invaded iraq) we do not need an ultra-pop movie demonizing one of the few technologies which could save us from the petroleum age

You're fucking kidding me.

Re:IT"S A MOVIE, FOR CHRIST"S SAKE!

[jrockway]

note to parent: it wasn't haha-funny
note to mods: fuck you
note to self: kill yourself now

Re:My only gripe

[Anonymous Coward]

Factual error: Dr. Octavius says his fusion relies on tritium and that there is only 25 pounds of the substance in the world. In reality, tritium is merely an isotope of hydrogen and is a good deal more common than that.

The nitpickers are neglecting to take into account that the story doesn't take place on the Earth we know. If it did, why don't we have adamantium available anywhere? Why aren't there mutants coming out of the woodwork? Why, then, is it inconceivable that in the Marvel universe, there might actually be only 25lbs. of tritium? Maybe that's the tradeoff for having adamantium. Maybe there's more and it just hasn't been discovered. Maybe Reed Richards took the excess to the Negative Zone.

Three words: suspension of disbelief.

It's a story, not a documentary. It takes place in a world similar to our own, not the world we live in. It's fantasy. Relax. Enjoy. Return to the real world after the closing credits.

Re:Pretty Thin...

[Scrameustache]

Give it a rest. It's a fictional movie about fictional characters

So you're an idiot who'll eat up anything he's fed at the movies. Stop trolling threads meant for critical thinking individuals who demand more. Go watch some wrasslin or something.

I can just see some pimply faced teenager sitting in his mom's basement

Ah, you must feel like a big man now.
You do know that the main character of that movie, Peter, was (until a spider event) a pimply faced teenager sitting in his aunt's basement? Do you spend the whole movie shouting "NERD!" at the screen by any chance?

how a character that's got some metalic arms fused to his back would respond after throwing a car through a window at a cafe ... leave it to the screenwriters.

Man, no wonder you don't like people to nitpick, you can't even comprehend their objections.

From you own post, you quoted:

Doc Ock finds Peter with Mary Jane in the cafe and throws a car through the window straight at them. Any normal man would've been killed instantly, and Doc Ock doesn't know that Peter is Spider-Man. Given that Peter is his only lead on Spider-Man, it makes no sense that Doc Ock would effectively try to kill him.

Can't you even read what you cut and paste? The question is not about how he acts after throwing the car, the question is why is he throwing cars at someone whom he wants to ask questions to?

The "shoot first and ask questions later" school of interrogation? That'll give you awnsers?

Re:32 already

[poot_rootbeer]

In one scene, Spiderman is leaping and twirling like he's a male gymnast. Then in the next, he has a heterosexual love interest.

Ha ha! This is funny because male gymnasts are all homosexuals!!!!1

Go to hell, bigot.

so what?

[RevAaron]

30 mistakes? Big deal! LOTR 1 has 223. With the same number in LOTR 2 and 131 in LOTR 3. lots of movies do. so what?
