spiderman 2

Well, stayed up very late last night to catch the euro finals which was a rather messy one. I shan't tok much bt the finals which ended wif portugal 0-1 greece through a beautiful header. This euros is like a curtain raiser into a new era. It ends the era of david beckham, zinedine zidane and luis figo. These players are those who are already over their peak and thus producing under-par performances. All the big teams such as england, france, holland, portugal etc fail to make the mark simply because most of the managers chose to defend a 1-0 lead but failed. Another reason is that they're stubborn to substitute big-name players who simply aren't performing to standard resulting in the whole team not playing well. Some comments I heard from ppl like Jamie Reeves are that this euros is very different from other major tournaments. The strike rate and quality of the strikers are not there(which is quite sad as this doesn't make the tournament very attractive already)...Greece, against the odds of 80-1 managed to win the euros. Enough of football =)

**warning: spoilers for spiderman 2 below, don't read on if u haven't watched =P**

I went to watch spiderman 2 wif my bro this afternoon and boy, was it a good show. This time, everything in peter parker's life is going wrong. He's always late for classes and for work, MJ has a boyfriend and Harry presses him to reveal who spiderman is so that he can revenge for his father. Aunt May struggles wif finances and sort of loses their old home. Because of the depression he's suffering, he loses his special abilities for a while. He chose to lead a normal life and felt very happy but it wasn't long before he realises he has a responsibility to fulfil as crime rates soar when spiderman wasn't around.

The catch of this show is that MJ eventually finds out who spiderman really is(peter parker lor, lol). I think this is very important in the plot 'cos if this drags on, this movie will be very much like smallville where lana lang still doesn't know clark has super powers. This makes the show very slow and boring le. In spiderman 2, a lot of ppl, including MJ and Harry see peter parker wif his spiderman suit without the mask(very wierd, haha). One of the nice parts of the show is when spiderman returns from his absence to fight Doc Orc on a train. Doc Orc destroys the brakes of the train at a very very high speed and spiderman had to use ALL his strength b4 he could stop the train and he fainted when he managed to do that(his mask was off again cos it sort of caught fire and PP took it off). The passengers pulled him inside for him to rest on the floor and all of them were shocked tt spiderman is actually just a teen. A nice exclamation by one of them was, "He's not any older than my boy!". Everyone was glad spiderman is back and they finally take pity on him for his sacrifice(very touching indeed, his hardwork is finally appreciated =)). So, that's the end of my super-summary of spiderman 2. There're more plot twists which I shan't reveal lar, if not u guys got nothing to look 4ward to in the movie le..haha. Spiderman 2, a must watch...
