That's right, true believers...

I was totally blown away by Spider-Man. In fact, it made the horrors of waiting in line for two hours seem not so bad after all! I wasn't expecting much, seeing as other supposedly promising superhero films had let me down (Spawn, Batman Returns-Forever-And Robin) in the past. Thankfully, the good people at Sony put Sam Raimi at the helm. The movie is very well-crafted. From high school drama to love story to tragedy to action movie and back, this movie covers pretty much all bases, and with a finesse rarely seen these days in huge-franchise movies. The computer animation can at times be a little hokey, I know, but at least it looks better than some guy in a suit crawling across a floor designed like a wall with the camera tilted to make it look like he's going up a building! At any rate, if you're one of the five people yet to see Spider-Man, by all means DO! That's not peer-pressure. Not at all. See it. Love it. Go. Now.
