Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ashtal" data-source="post: 179710" data-attributes="member: 3">That bit he added at the end was TOTALLY out of context.When I first read it, before seeing the films, I took the line to be a bit more old fashioned: that here's a guy who is in love with this girl-turned-woman, and he's not just out to 'do' her.  After seeing the movie, I know now that he's said it for two very good reasons:  One, she's still kind of with Harry, and there's a lot of associated guilt there over the Goblin's death. Two, everyone he's cared about has been put in jeapordy, and he's doing this to protect her.Again, though: (mod hat on) The comments in the previous part of the thread were still inappropriate. (mod hat off) Ebert's comments just seem like he took the comments out of context, as if the whole movie never happened.  The way he mentions it, I sort of imagined the scene taking place in the high school, with MJ clearly in the know that Parker likes her, and is in a way teasing him about it and he answered honorably.  Certainly not the scene as it happened in the film.Though as of late, Ebert's reviews have become increasingly negative and overly critical, IMO.</blockquote>
