Writing ex. 2

These two critics had varying views on how good spider man 2 was. Both critics took plot, writing and dialogue into account. Ebert loved the film and thought it was the best super hero movie to date while Gilchrist was disappointed in what he saw. Ebert particularly liked how the plot placed emphasis on Peter Parker's life problems. On the other hand Gilchrist thought the plot unfolded to slowly in many of the scenes. Gilchrist had similar thoughts about the dialogue also thinking it was too long and not captivating enough to hold the audiences attention. Ebert liked the dialogue and how it was about emotion, love and values. Gilchrist didn't mention much about the acting but Ebert thought it was excellent.
