[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 1651108, member: 1288"] That was my take as well. As long as Peter didn't really want to be Spider-Man, he was basically psyching himself out of his powers. Even when he decided he wanted to go back to being Spidey, he didn't really [i]want[/i] to, he just felt it was something he was supposed to do. Only when MJ was in danger, only when he realized how much it really mattered, did he [i]truly[/i] want and accept his powers, and the responsibility that goes with them. I have a different nitpick with the movie. (Don't get me wrong, I love the film, I've seen it twice, and I plan to buy it on DVD. This is just nagging at me.) I'm not using spoiler tages, because the thread title warns of spoilers. Towards the end, Peter convinces Harry to tell him where Dock Ock is holed up so that he can go rescue MJ. Problem is, [i]there's no way for Harry to have that information!![/i] At no point does Ock tell him "Oh, by the way, my new hide-out's in a condemned warehouse on the waterfront. FYI." Harry met with Ock exactly twice, both times were brief, and both times were at Harry's own home. At no point in the movie, anywhere, at any time, is there any reason given for Harry to know where to find Octopus, yet he somehow has that info to give to Spider-Man. Scientific nitpicks--like how can Ock stand up to Spidey's punches, or how can arms supposedly "immune" to magnetism conduct electricity--don't bug me too much in a comic-book movie. But plot holes irritate me, even if only a little. :) [/QUOTE]
