Courtesy, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Rating: 8/10 (13 February 2015)

As a die-hard fan of Spider-Man, I'll start by saying it still has its comic based charms and connections after 13 years. It might seem a bit cheesy at times but that's no big deal, all prequels feel the same. Spider-Man was one of the few awesome superheroes back then, along with the X Men.
Comic book adaptations: 9/10 (The only freely adapted thing I suppose was his natural webbing, other than that, quite spot on.)
Characters: 9/10 (I guess an argument can be made that Andrew Garfield is a better Spider-Man/ Peter Parker. Still, Spider-Man 1 and 2 haven't worn off yet with an 89 and a 94 on Rotten Tomatoes. Tobey fits in pretty well, along with the rest of the delightful cast.
Soundtracks: 10/10 (Danny Elfman's soundtracks were essential and promising)
Action: 8/10 (They were pretty impressive, but it's still just the prequel, it does have a lot of potential though.)
Origin story: 10/10 (I could easily relate to it, it was damn near perfect)
Overall rating: 8
