Suggestions for Writing

Who would have ever thought that the same movie could derive such different opinions from its viewers. Tim Gilchrist, and Robert Ebert, are two renowned movie critics who have a very different opinion of the film, but they base their opinions off of the same information. Gilchrist feels that the first Spider Man movie was a phenomenal adaptation of the comic book, but he feels that the second film has a lot left to be desired. Flaws in the plot, and other flaws made Gilchrist unhappy with the film. He feels parts of it were long and drawn out, and the film was lacking a lot. He does say that the film is a strong representation of the comic, but plots are drawn out and long. He feels this is unnecessary for the movie. Robert Ebert on the other hand feels that Spider Man 2 is what a superhero film should be. He feels that the film is a model of what a superhero film should be. He also likes how the film does such a good job showing Peter Parker as well as Spider Man. Ebert did not like the first Spider Man like Gilchrist did, and he feels that the second one is far superior. Both of these columnists feel that it is a great film, but have different opinions on it. I feel that personal taste comes into effect based on the authors preference of actors directors, and views on the comic books the movies were derived from. The writers both know they are great films but they feel differently amongst the sequel and the prequel, and which one is greater then the other.
