a great action movie, but...

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2002)

There is no doubt that Spiderman is a great action movie, but it's also one in which romance is a very minor device.
It's more tragic than anything that the talented young man nearly shoots his web fluid every time he sees a woman who couldn't have given a damn about him when he was less muscled and lacked assertion.
In my version of Spiderman 3, Peter Parker realises that any spidery romance he may have with the opposite sex is doomed to end with himself as the main course at the wedding banquet.
Luckily Spiderman finds himself strongly drawn to the new Marvel super hero in town  the openly gay Canadian, Northstar  who teaches him how to really swing from building to building in search of rough trade up to no good. (PS: This one may not get a G rating.)
