Jerk or Hero?

Rating: 3/10 (12 March 2006)

This film depicts how a jerk became a hero after his accidental bite by a strange spider.Yet he is still a jerk after-all, whenever he is not in his spider uniform.
Instead of devoting his precious time in doing good to the world, this jerk chooses to deliver pizzas!
And he is a total loser everywhere,not being able to get a decent living , or to support his aunt, or even to get a crump of cake from a party. It's difficult for the viewers to find these amusing!
If you can manage to tolerate the first 20 minutes of the film, you will be able to meet the real villain, nothing more but a machine-possessed professor moving around clumsily with his heavy octopus claws, rather comical and not at all scaring. Not even the police has bothered to hunt him down, as if they knew even the jerk could do the job anyway.
Surely, people can still try to defend Peter, admiring his love towards Mary Jane which had explained his under-performance in life . Afterall, "love" had been so wrongly depicted and over-valued in so many films before.
But the truth in life is: being able to do good to the world is much more important than the love between any couple, although the two are not actually totally exclusive of one another, as the jerk has finally discovered at the end of the film.
