the best super hero movie yet made

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2004)

SPIDER MAN 2 is the new standard by which super hero films are made. Spider Man is a heavy duty fantasy film rooted in enough suspension of disbelief to make it work. SPIDER MAN is also rooted in enough adventure and thrills to make any kid or adult leave the theatre looking forward to SPIDER MAN 3 or perhaps to see SPIDER MAN 2 again. SPIDER MAN works on many levels; it works as a action picture, it works as a love film, and it works as a mad scientist movie. I seldom go to movies at the theatre any more do to excessive cost and I despise the crap mill in Los Angeles. This film was worth the $5.50 I shelled out to go see it. I remember the tag line to SUPERMAN "YOU WILL BELIEVE A MAN CAN FLY" there could be one for this film and TOBY MAGUIRE revolving around Maguire and his acting. His acting draws out the best in his lines and the potential in the films screenplay. The same could be said of of this films direction once again drawing out the best in the screen play and the comic book legend. I recommend this film to families as there is no objectionable material.
