A comment from an outsider

Rating: Null/10 (30 November 2002)

I happen not to have a Ph.D. in comic book mythology. I just watched Spiderman because my husband borrowed it from a friend. I don't know webspinners from a hole in the ground.
I was a little disappointed. I didn't find anything offensive about the action or characters, but I turned off the set thinking, "Yeah, so what?" I guess it failed to dazzle. I thought the Spiderman actor was a little young, but maybe he's supposed to be. But why do they call him Spiderman, and not Spiderteenager? His girlfriend looked much older, but maybe that was because her father knocks her around.
I guess I'd give it a 5/10 and leave it at that.
