Review for the latest spider-man movie

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2004)

Well, I have never been much of a Marvel fan. Actually, I have never been much of a comic book fan myself if you do not include Batman. But I live with two sisters who are crazy for almost any kind of comic book so eventually, after all the bragging and ranting on how Spiderman was so good, I needed to see it for myself. I was not that new to the Spiderman universe as far as the main characters and villains go. Personally, I have never liked Peter Parker or Mary-Jane. I have always enjoyed Dr. Octopus, The Black Cat, and Morbius. But none the less I had to see it so I could write a review for an old forum I use to go to. I didn't like the story, but as far as everything else went it was pretty good. Good costume, music, and visual effects. As for Spiderman 2 I have to say it was pretty dull when it came to plot. The visual effects were good, but after the first movie web slinging no longer 'wowed' me. The music was the same and enjoyable, I would even but the soundtrack if I weren't more of an Opera fan. The costumes and the mechanical octopus arms were great as expected. And, the actor for Dr. Otto Octavius, Alfred Molina, was better than I could have hoped for. However, I was extremely disappointed with the rest of it. The storyline bored me, the action got old after the first hour, and I really didn't like the fact that Mary-Jane broke three guy's hearts not to mention played with them all in one movie. To be honest I would give it a seven out of ten. But I am going to say something good about this movie. If you are a Spiderman fan who is not as stubborn and hot headed as I am, I think you will really and thoroughly enjoy this movie.
