A comic book movie done right.

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2002)

It does the heart good to see Marvel's characters finally getting the big screen respect that they deserve. No longer relegated to direct-to-video status, they have hit the big time and how. The secret? Getting great directors, scripts and actors. I don't believe any actor in Spider-man would be any fan's top choice for the role. But after seeing the movie it's hard to think of anyone who could do better. The story is faithful to the Spider-man mythos. Of course minor changes were made but they kept with the spirit of the comic book. And Raimi is obviously a Spidey fan. His love of the character show through in every scene.
