Yep, it's a COMIC book movie alright.

Rating: 1/10 (1 May 2002)

I must say, after seeing Spider-Man at a preview show tonight, I was really excited; the thought of having X-Men, Batman, and even Jason coming back from comics to movies was exciting, but my favorite of all time has and always will be, Spider-Man.
However, I WAS DISAPPOINTED! Sure, it had great effects and great dialogue, I especially like the Superman comment Aunt May made, but the story and plot line is very very dull, especially if you already know the Green Goblin storyline from the comic books and the cartoons.
Also, where are the other villains? Where's Venom, Dr. Octopus, Hobgoblin, The Jackyl, and Electro? Hell, bring in Mystero, they have better storylines then The Green Goblin.
Another thing that I have noticed, Kristen Dunst does NOT play a good Mary Jane-Watson; I'm sorry, she sucked in Bring it on, she sucks in Spider-Man.
Tobey Maguire plays a good early edition of Spider-Man, but I think they should pass the torch on to someone less dorky; I mean sure, Spider-Man was a dork in the comics for the early years of spider-man, but if you're a fan of Spider-Man you will know he becomes way cooler in the later years.
And why did they bring Macho Man Randy Savage in the picture? An old washed up wrestler in a high anticipated movie? Oh wait, I forgot about The Scorpion King coming out too.

*SPOILERS* I just really hate this movie, this is a disgrace to the Spider-Man name, comics, and the fans; any fan of Spider-Man is going to get cheated if they watch it. There is a part in the movie where Mary Jane is falling from the George Washington Bridge.
Hmm, if anyone has read Spider-Man, they will know that Staci, Spider-Man's old girlfriend, was killed by being thrown from the same bridge by, who else, THE GREEN GOBLIN! It's the same as the comic book, damn, at least X-Men tried to bring in an original story to its movie, why can't Spider-Man do the same?
2/10 *'s
