The Best Comic Book Movie Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2002)

I have been waiting twenty-something years for Spider-man on the big screen, and I was NOT disappointed. Sam Raimi is awesome. No one does over-the-top cheese better than he. His style is aptly suited for comic book movies, and I like to think that no one could have done it better. The script was fantastic (it's refreshing to have something seemingly so faithful to its origins) and the players were perfect. I noticed a lot of groans during the romantic moments between Spidey and Mary Jane, but what people seemed to forget is that this movie was one giant comic book. That's the way comic book were/are written. Perfection.
