Dissapointing, corny and obnoxious comic adaptation gone awry.

Rating: Null/10 (8 January 2003)

I really hated this movie. It upset me so much to see some of the worlds best loved characters being warped into 'what the critics want'. Sam Raimi is such a great director. I've seen and I love all of his films. This is probably what lead to my dissapointment. Spiderman IS the world's greatest comic book superhero. I've loved the comics for years and I even liked the cartoon series. Upon hearing 'Spiderman' was to become a movie, I was thrilled. But seeing the movie made me sick. What made me even sicker was the way everybody seems to love it. Is it just me or was the greatest comic book storyline in history left out? Yes, I'm talking about the death of Gwen Stacey! The Green Goblin killed her, which lead to all sorts of other cool plots.

*SPOILERS*

Green Goblins defeat was awfully corny. He should have lived! Mary Jane was portrayed as being a stupid little hopeless, selfish teeny bopper. Peter Parker should have developed his own web formula and web slinger. Other super villains should have made cameos eg: Kingpin
There is so much I hated about this movie... I feel sick just writing about it.
However if I hadn't known 'Spiderman' was a Sam Raimi project I would have given this movie 7/10.
Sam Raimi 'Shame, shame, shame!'
