My Childhood Dreams Brought to Life!

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2009)

I was 12 years old when the first Spider-man film graced the silver screen. Up until that point I had never before experienced the level of hype in which this film received. This was the first film I ever obsessively tracked on the internet up until the very moment of the film's release. When I finally saw the film on opening day, I was blown away and ended up seeing the film again three more times in theaters. The main question now is, is the film just as good now as it was back in 2002? The answer is yes.
Spider-man was always one of my favorite superheros growing up, and in that sense I am a little biased towards this film, but it actually is a terrific film. This is one of those few blockbuster films that I think was able to transcend its stereotypes and actually become simply put a good film. This film had all of the action and thrills in which you expect from big budget blockbusters, but it also had this genuine emotion and heart that made it resonate with me more so than many other similar films. As well, not only is this a very heartfelt film, but it is actually quite funny and the action is extremely exciting to watch, as well it gets quite dramatic near the end.
Overall Spider-man is a good film with a terrific story, awesome acting, and genuine heart. I love this film so much and I hope others will too.
I give Spider-man a perfect 10 out of 10!
