Far better than expected.

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2002)

Spider-man, a movie I had to see. I was a bit sceptical however about the quality of the special effects. They did not look good in the few previews I'd seen. Having seen the film I can only say that it was funny, witty and entertaining. It was better than expected, and a lot better than other films in the genre, like batman and X-men.
If you expect the plot to follow the comic books page by page you will probably feel a bit cheated. They used quite a few short cuts to make it easier for the "know nothing about spider-man" viewer.
