Spiderman movie review, review

These two reviews show a different picture of the same movie. I think the reason they are so different, is that they had different impressions going into the theater. The first review by Todd Gilchrist seemed like he liked Spiderman better then Spiderman 2. So, when the director made changes in the sequel, these were aspects Todd felt limited the movie, and didn’t compare to the original. Robert Ebert, on the other hand, felt that the first movie had not been what he had suspected. So when Spiderman 2 came out, it lived up to what he had suspected. Another difference is Todd Gilchrist seems to like to stay on the negative with his reviews. In the caption before his review it said, “Though the Rotten Tomatoes approval rating…is hovering around 95%, critic Todd Gilchrist feels compelled to take a slightly contrarian view.” He views the glass as half empty and therefore wrote a more critical view then Robert Ebert.
