batmanrobinchiller Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 It was a very good day! I had the chance to watch the new SpiderMan movie and visit Coney Island. I left my grandma's house at 2:30 to make the 2:50 showtime. I really enjoyed the movie as a whole. Even the previews for the movie were exciting (TDKR, Bourne Legacy, etc.). By the way, is anyone doing the Batman marathon leading up to the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises? I already bought my tickets. Its only $25 if anybody is interested. Anyway, onto the movie! I'm not going to reveal much about the story, but its very similar to the original. Although, there are some "dramatic" changes to the story. I'll let you find them on your own. The whole new Spidy character, played by Andrew Garfield, is one of those major changes. To be honest, I like this guy better than Tobey Miguire. In the original movie, Tobey was just too awkward for me. He had no emotion as Parker and as SpiderMan. Andrew plays that awkward high school student (its very apparent in the movie) even when he transforms into SpiderMan. Andrew HAS emotion and character and I loved every bit of his acting. I give the movie an overall rating of 8/10 for being that awesome Superhero movie. Just like it's fellow Marvel character movies(Iron Man, Captain America, Avengers, etc.), it doesn't compare to the strength of the DC Universe movies, specifically, Nolan's interpretation of Batman. Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises are all good reasons why DC does it better than Marvel. Nolan brings this sort of sophistication to his movies. Its not just violence and mayhem, his stories have a further meaning that makes Batman larger than life. Nothing will beat this Batman series, no matter how hard Marvel tries. That's just my opinion. Of course it doesn't help that I love Batman. lol Onto the Coney Island "trip"! It wasn't really a trip since I was only there for about 20 minutes. lol We drive down several blocks to Coney Island after the movie. We bought our $8 tickets to ride this 85 year old classic. Once we were in the station I waited for the next ride. Being the ride operating geek that I am, I watched them load and unload the train. Lets just say, I feel so much safer at Six Flags. lol Anyways, the ride itself was fun! It was quite bumpy, but I enjoyed it none the less. I can't wait to ride again, and I hope to ride that Scream'in Eagle next time! Total Roller Coasters Ridden: 26 Photos From the Day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankees99 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Cyclone was the first roller coaster I ever rode. Back in summer of 1977. Last rode it circa 1980-81. Still looks the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
