mazing Spiderman 2 spent almost the exact amount of money on its promotion that they spent on its making. Such was never done before for any movie. Expectations were running high until Rottentomatoes gave an average rating to this movie. Why? What went wrong with this movie? NOTHING. This movie is amazingly beautiful. The franchise went to its core; to the heart of Spiderman's original story. Stop judging movies on the scale of Nolan's or Bryan Singer's. Who is Spiderman? Answer: A teenage boy. What do you expect from a teenage boy? To be serious as Batman or want him to feel out of place like Captain America. When you go to the original story of Peter Parker, or to say Avengers, he befriends Tony Stark. They get along because they both are almost same in their heart. Childish. Amazing Spiderman 2 is all Rock and Roll. There is speed, there are great one liners, but the one thing I loved about this movie is the story of Gwen and Parker. In the first three movies Spiderman franchise did horrible mistakes with the storyline. Now, what they are doing is to trace the origin of Spidey before Mary Jane enters his life. They did exceedingly well this time. Watch the first clash between Electro and Spiderman at Times Square. Fighting in between all those billboards and neon signs, the reason of spending such a huge amount on this movie became visibly clear that Sony has its faith on Spiderman as a brand. It will attract people as does the hyperspace of Times Square. The other thing that I liked about this movie is the background score. It is so refreshing and different from all those drum beatings that are going these days in the Superhero movie genre. After The Dark Knight, everyone wants to make one akin to it. This one is so sublimely different. I loved this movie, but I can't bet the same for others. This one is a little different from what we have become accustomed to watch these days in this genre. This one is the best movie of Spiderman made till date. I hope others will enjoy the same as I did.

Few critics, few including Rediff ones whom I look for some good writing, have rated low to BMB. The reason they give is that movie lacks coherence and clarity. Really? I think they should only rate Hollywood movies because whoever thinks this movie is no good does not know what Hindi cinema is. Farhan has done an awesome job, and if I say awesome then it is not for his physique and dialogue delivery but for the transformation, he has gone to become Milkha Singh. We as an audience witness the physical stress and labor that an athlete as likes of Milkha Singh undergo to become a 'flying Sikh'. Hindi cinema celebrates the life of this living legend with songs and drama and music. Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra has done a decent job, still; I fell he could have done a lot better especially in the scenes of Milkha's childhood memories. His attempt of giving the movie an epic convention seriously affected the narrative portion. However, all this can be sided by the grandeur of Farhan's effort. I would like to mention a statement of one of the rediff users who wrote against critics who are undermining the effect of this movie: "note that 400mtrs is a very difficult race to run. it is at the border of quick races and long jogs. after partition India did not have either the experience nor the infra to produce runners for 400mtrs. So Milkha was a true champion in every sense. If critics pull films like these down for abstract reasons…we will forever have 20 goons flying in the air with one punch from one man. Grow up critics."

So true.
