Wow!

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2002)

Spider-Man has been my favourite super hero since I was four years old. So needless to say, I was excited to see this movie. However, I wasn't going in with any high hopes.
The trailers looked great. Spidey's moves were perfect, but they didn't tell you anything about the story, and that left me a bit worried. Were they hiding something? Was this going to be another one of those f/x driven plot movies? NO! The story was the best part. Oh sure, it was exciting to see Spidey flipping around and swinging past buildings, but the story was great. Even my wife, who usually rolls her eyes and puts up child like enthusiasm when I talk about Spider-Man, enjoyed the film. She was laughing and enjoying the ride.
Spider-Man was a great tribute to the comic. It made me feel like a kid again. Heck, it even made me a bit misty.
