Icing on the cake

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2002)

Sure the adaptation from comic to movie was near perfect, yes the cast portrayed the infamous characters with exceptional accuracy (especially to J.K. Simmons' Jameson), and the long-time-spiderman-fan Sam Raimi's direction helped to steer this production away from the fates that other superhero genre films have fallen victim to time and time again. All of this is a given... no, what put this movie over the top for me was hearing that signature Spiderman cartoon theme song tagged along with the end credits. Enough said!
Plus... 2 friends and I are in the audience of the Bone-Saw wrestling scene (now all that's left to do is to wait for the DVD to freeze-frame our way to fame and world-wide recognition!).
