Good Adaptation of the Comic Book. Peter Parker, high school geek, get's bitten by a genetically enhanced super-spider one day while on a school field trip, after that he starts to notice strange things happening to him. Muscles and better physique, sharp hairs on the ends of his fingers, and the ability to shoot a web through his wrists. Finally after all this Peter tranforms himself into The Amazing Spider-Man, now out to foil the plans of the Murdering GREEN GOBLIN.
Over all, well written and directing, tended to drag for the first 15-20 minutes, buts kicks into gear when Peter is searching for his Uncle's Carjacker. Some bloopers, and way over-done effects, but never the less an enjoyable action flick. For that and the Attempt at making a $130,000,000 Spider-Man flick, I give it 3 stars.
Co-Starring: Jack Betts, Stanley Anderson, Ron Perkins, Michael Papajohn Cameos: Ted Raimi, Bruce Campbell, Stan Lee, Lucy Lawless, Rance Howard, Joe D'Onofrio.
