A Fine Adaption On A Comic Book(SPOILERS)

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2007)

SPOILERS
Let me just straighten this out, I was a huge fan of any sort of comic book, but not really a comic book movie for that matter. When I heard this was coming out I was not really planning on seeing it. When I heard who was directing it, though, I got some tickets. I mean, it was Sam Raimi! I am a huge fan of the Evil Dead series and I did not think Sam Raimi would direct something like this. Evil Dead was a gory horror film. I saw Spider-man. I am glad I did. This is easily the best adaption from a comic book ever.
Here is the plot. I am sure everyone knows the plot of the comic book, but here is the movie plot. A man named Peter Parker is bitten by a radioactive spider. Instead of killing him it gives him the powers of a spider. Then his uncle is murdered. Peter decides to become a superhero. He calls himself Spider-man and he fights crime all over New York City. Unfortuanatelty there is a new villain in the city. It is Peter's friend's dad. He becomes evil after an experiment. After some fights with him Spider-man kills him by jumping out of the way of his glider with spikes. It stabs the Green Goblin, which is what he calls himself, instead and he dies. After that, Harry, which is the name of his friend, think that Spider-man killed him and he develops a grudge against Spider-man.
Overall, this is a very well-done superhero movie. In fact, it is probably the bets superhero movie. It is also very fun to watch anytime, anywhere. Also, I think the actors did a wonderful job portraying the characters in the comic books, or at least I think they did. Anway, this is a very entertaining joy-ride for anyone, but I think the hard-core fans of Spider-man will enjoy it more than me. I still enjoy it, though.
8/10
