Wow!!

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2002)

Its so rare to find a movie where everything works. Especially when it comes to comic book films, but Spider-Man nails it dead on. The quiet scenes really hammered home the weight of the responsibility Peter feels, especially at the end. There's a kind of infectious joy when Peter's discovering his powers that stays with you whenever he's swinging through the city. Superman, Batman, X-Men are all very good superhero movies, Spider-Man is better. Can't wait to see it again, nor can I wait for the inevitable sequels. I just hope they stay away from the "mulitple villains are better" theory.
