The Amazing Spider-Man: 20 Years Later!

Rating: Null/10 (6 May 2002)

I have been a fan of Spider-Man since I was in grade school. I devoured all those comics one after another. My whole world revolved around my favorite superhero. I'd watch the cartoons every Saturday, and as time went by I wonder how come nobody ever did a Spider-Man movie? Well, 20 years later my expectations have been met. This film meets all what a Spider-Man fan could ask for. Director Sam Raimi, Stan Lee and all the people that worked together to bring this comic to life really worked hard to accomplish this task.
I had a smile in my face as I watched Spidey swing and bounce through the buildings. The way he moved arms and legs, his yells as he hold to the spider-web, the way he sat on top of the buildings, even when he grabbed to the flag pole, it was as if I was living the comic again! All his moves were so well coordinated to resemble the comic book. Even when the cops want to catch him and Jameson hating him...it is all part of the comic...that is what Spider-Man is: a misunderstood hero.
The ending is just great, not what many people would have want or the typical Hollywood ending. But again is just what Spider-Man is, it is what he has, it is what he feels.
The rest of the characters were also very good: The Goblin, Mary Jane, Aunt May and Uncle Ben and the petulant, complaining, ambitious J.J. Jameson. For those not familiar with the comic my lines probably don't make any sense, but for the Spidey-Fan.... well you know exactly what I mean.
Great Film *****
