Ok there were actual people here, I know I saw them...

I've seen three movies recently:

"King Arthur" was ok but lacked any real impact. It tries to tell us the "true story" of King Arthur and then proceeds to get all of it's dates mixed up so that none of it could have happened. OK so let's say Arthur was a Roman general but lets leave the rest to the legends.

"Spiderman 2" was very good. I agree that as a rule superheroes seem to arise from lives that are filled with loss and sacrifice, but I think that's what allows them to make the hard choices.

"I, Robot" was great, apart from only taking a basic premise from Aasimov's book. The mystery component was quite enthralling, and it was refreshing for hollywood to leave the romantic interest alone.

getting back to Spiderman, I think it's hilarious that Stan Lee actually gets into all these movies adapted from comics he helped to create. It's great that he only acts as an extra though.
