Above average but only slightly

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2002)

Spiderman started off pretty well & had the makings of a good film but too much time was devoted to the romance as the film went on.
I'd have liked a little more insight into Peter at the start before the biting but more than that, the start of Peters' / Spidermans' mission to help the public was glossed over far too quickly. One minute he was looking at the costume, within seconds it was days later & the city all knew about him. I'd have liked Spiderman to have been a little more comic book style like Superman, but nonetheless it's still a good film with some great scenes (and gaffes).
A low 7/10
