Corrected entry: In the scene where Peter Parker is at class in college, his professor asks for eigenvalues. Peter promptly answers in electron volts. Eigenvalues deal with linear algebra and matrices, and have no units. An electron volt is an energy unit, particularly for atomic and nuclear processes.
Corrected entry: Peter runs into the apartment building on fire to save a child and even though there are flames everywhere, he is able to grab onto a doorknob to see if it is locked without being burned.
Correction: It's obviously a closet door and he can hear the child is just on the other side so he knows the knob is not any hotter than where he is now. The reason you usually should not grab a doorknob in a fire is when you don't know that the fire isn't on the other side. Without fire in direct contact with the handle, it might be uncomfortably hot, but wouldn't burn him. Plus, he's resistant to all sorts of physical abuse regular humans aren't, so I'm sure a hot doorknob won't trouble him too much.
Corrected entry: The first time Aunt May and Peter see each other after May nearly dies at the expense of Doc Ock, she does not even mention anything about her near-death experience to him. Because as far as she knows, Peter is not Spiderman. Don't you think if you fell from a very tall building to your near death twice you would tell your closest relative?
Correction: I took this to be one of the 'clues' that Aunt May actually knows who Spider-Man is... perhaps even worked it out for sure during her rescue. Her speech to him later, when she is packing up her belongings, would further indicate this. If nothing else, he was at the bank as Peter, so she'd expect he saw what happened.
Corrected entry: After Peter talks to Mary Jane outside the fancy club, she brushes him off and he picks up a glass. He discovers it's empty and drops it, but you never hear the sound of it dropping.
Correction: He doesn't drop it to the ground... he is still holding onto the glass and his arms drop to his sides.
Corrected entry: When Doctor Octopus robs the bank vault, how did he hide the massive tentacles under his coat? No one notices him until the tentacles burst out from under the coat in front of the vault.
Correction: In several scenes in the movie, and in the comic book, he could retract his tentacles, like when he walked over Spiderman to throw down the mini-sun. In the comics, Octavius commonly wore the trenchcoat and fedora shown in the bank scene of the movie.
Corrected entry: Throughout the entire movie, when Doc Ock moves around with his tentacles, it's always in very quick movements, with his tentacles pounding into the ground with "boom, boom, boom, boom..." However, whenever someone actually hears Ock coming, (i.e. Harry on the balcony, the woman in the office, or Peter and Mary Jane in the deli) we can hear very long, three to four-second pauses in between the impacts of his extra arms.
Correction: Doc Ock uses all four tentacles to move fast providing the quick pounding sounds you hear. As Ock climbs the building or is approaching someone slow, he's only using the two lower arms for walking causing the longer pause in between impacts.
Corrected entry: When Spider-man is in the alley and is having trouble with his powers, he is climbing the wall without his mask on, yet when he falls and lands by the dumpster, you can briefly see that he now has on his mask. The next shot, he doesn't have it on again.
Correction: While it is a fast shot, Spider-Man is clearly not wearing his mask at all. The lighting is dark but when he falls and slams against the dumpster you can quickly but surely see his unmasked face pass through a stream of light peering into the alley.
Corrected entry: In the scene after Doc Ock gives Spider-Man to Harry, Harry goes to the table to pick up a dagger. When Harry grabs the dagger off the table (still sheathed) it makes the "sching" sound of a weapon being drawn, despite not being actually taken out of the sheath until later.
Correction: The sound is the metal sheath rubbing against the metal stand.
Corrected entry: Doc Ock pulls the giant sun ball and its support down onto himself, so he should be under it as they descend, yet in the final shot of him sinking into the ocean, the ball is below him and he is falling after it.
Correction: Doc Ock pulls out two of the supports first, before falling into the water you can see it tip to the side, it actually hits next to him and he is dragged under by it.
Corrected entry: In the party scene at the space library, Harry Osbourne is sitting at the bar getting drunk. He knocks his glass to the ground to drink from the bottle. After talking with Peter, he goes back to drinking, but now it's from a glass again.
Correction: Harry grabs a new glass sitting on the bar after he knocks his original one off the edge.
Corrected entry: After Peter changes into Spider-Man to deliver the pizzas and throws them onto the ledge to save the two children, the camera goes back to show the pizzas and the man living there finding them. There are only seven pizza boxes, without any damage done to them. When he actually delivers them, there are eight and a couple of them are now flattened or banged-up as they should be.
Correction: I thought so too at first, but then I realized that the lid of one of the boxes is sticking out and bent such that it looks like an extra box, but there are still only seven.
I thought it was supposed to be 8 but it looked like 7?
Corrected entry: When Harry walks into his father's secret room, he sees the glider and the goblin suit. However, when Spider-Man drops of the Green Goblin after he is killed in the first movie, he only brought Norman's body back. How did the suit, mask, and glider get back to the secret room, considering there was only one costume and one glider?
Correction: No, we only saw them testing one suit and one glider. Since the suit was experimental, it would make sense that OsCorp had several suits and several gliders to serve as backups and speed up testing.
Corrected entry: Spider-Man's mask separates at the top of the neck. Yet the mask is longer (just the mask) when it hangs outside of the trash can, after he throws it away.
Correction: The long edges of the mask tuck into the neck hole of the suit, making it look seamless. Otherwise everytime he moved his head, it would expose the skin at his neck.
Corrected entry: When in the operating room, the lead doctor mentions something about the C17 vertebra. There are only seven cervical vertebrae in the human body. Also, he says something to the effect of performing a cervical-lumbar fusion, a procedure impossible because of the dozen thoracic vertebrae in between.
Correction: The doctor actually says '...C7, T1 through 12...', but he says it so quick that it actually sounds like 'C17'.
Corrected entry: When Peter is slammed up against a wall and covered in rubble by Doc Ock, he bursts through and his glasses are not even scratched. Then, he drops them in the street from about three feet up and the lens falls out.
Correction: Actually, you can see a crack in the bottom of one of the frames that corresponds to a chip in the lens that falls out.
Corrected entry: When Peter is looking out of his window onto the city asking if he's not supposed to have what he wants, he's talking and breathing out loud right up next to the window. There should be the little cloud of condensation on the window from his breathing onto it.
Correction: If the temperature is even just a bit warm outside, no condensation would be formed on the window because the temperature difference between the window and Peter's breath is not significant enough.
Corrected entry: When Peter and Aunt May are sitting in front of the bank worker's desk, they appear to be right next to a low wooden partition, with no way that Peter and May's chairs could move too far apart from each other. However, when Doc Ock comes to rob the bank and a hunk of debris falls towards Peter and May, there is suddenly plenty of space for Peter to kick May's chair and slide her out of harm's way.
Correction: The partition (to May's left) is farther away than it looks; she also ends up right next to it, so she probably collided with it anyway.
Corrected entry: Rosie is killed when a flying piece of glass hits her in the face. Later on when you see her on the stretcher, you can see both sides of her face for a moment, and there is no blood or any type of cut on her face.
Correction: The glass actually slices her neck and that's how she dies. The only reason her face is involved is we see her reflection in the glass as it flies towards her.
Corrected entry: In one of the final scenes when Spider-Man is on the cranes, none of them have been affected by the tritium fusion. If they had survived, they would have at least been rotated towards the fusion machine.
Correction: Actually, right before it cuts to the scene of the taxis going towards where Doc Ock is, there is a wide shot of the lab's outside and you can see the cranes rotate towards the lab.
Corrected entry: When on the elevated train, Spider-man gets his right goggle-eye thing burned, and he tears it off in frustration and tosses it away. Later on, after successfully stopping the train (pretty far away from the point where he threw off his mask, mind you), two children bring his mask back to him. He threw it away earlier, and there was no way any normal human could've gotten the mask and brought it back to him in the situation he was in.
Correction: The mask gets charred a bit, but doesn't burn through. He rips the mask off, but doesn't throw it away, you don't see what he does with it actually.
Correction: Finding Eigenvalues is part of solving many kinds of systems, not just matrix equations. If the problem represents something physical, the Eigenvalues will have dimensions. In fact, solving quantum mechanics problems often involves finding Eigenvalues in energy which are usually expressed in electron volts.
