Must-see

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2002)

This is a great film. Sam Raimi and the rest of the cast has done a wonderful job in the comic book adaptation. There is far more than action in this film. Sure, the explosion scenes are great but it's even more wonderful to see some character development. I won't bore you with the usual plot summary of an awkward teenage boy given super-powers and his struggles with fame. This is faithful enough to please the die-hard nerdy comic book fans young and old yet will give enough of a story for those with no previous knowledge. It has enough twists and turns that even the comic book fans will enjoy seeing how the "new" story unfolds. This is comic book at its finest. I can't recommend it enough.
