Not for children...

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2002)

As an adult I really enjoyed the Spider-Man movie. The special effects were wonderful and I am glad the director took the movie seriously. However, I was very disappointed with the movies PG-13 rating. This movie has some very mature themes and is not for children.
When I went to see this movie many parents brought their children to the theater with them. The children did not pay attention to the movie, and many of them were talking, making noise or giggling. Many scenes frightened some of the younger children in the theater.
I do not recommend this movie for children below the age of 12, mainly because of the violence and mature themes involved. Spider-Man may have been a cartoon for children, but the movie definitely is not. For adults and older teenagers, please go see this movie. You will not regret it. The intense drama and maturity of this movie will surprise you.
