Assignment 5-2



Movie Formula's can sometimes be pretty similar. Take for example Spiderman (2002) and Superman (1976) there are over 25 years difference between the movies, yet their forumulas are pretty similar. They are both action/adventure and sci-fi movies. The format for these movies are very similar between Spiderman and Superman, because powers emerge, tragedy strikes, hero uses powers for good, villain emerges, love interest endangered, hero becomes angry, hero defeats villain. I believe I love both these movies so much because I too would love to have super powers and save the world. Spiderman summed it up best with the phrase “With great powers comes great responsibility.” This is a motto all superheroes must live with. It was the values taught in upbringing and the tragedy of a mentor that sparks both Spiderman and Superman to be good. With their powers they could have chosen to become evil but because they were taught values and know right from wrong they choose to be good and save the world.
