MARVEL COMES TO LIFE!

Rating: Null/10 (8 May 2002)

Well it's finally happened.
Just when I thought it could never happen it did.
Spiderman, truely turned out to be a Comic Book come to life.
Perhaps the wait and the quality of CGI was worth the wait, the spiderman moves should be this way, after all superheros are supposed to be fantastic and move in fantastic ways not humans just dressed up in costumes.
This film is really exciting as it brings back all those feeling I had when I read comic books like this when I was a kid.
Amazingly we see it on the screen how it should be, super-heros in our modern day world (not a fake world comic book like Bat Man) it's cool.
It's really as if we see Stan Lee's imagination on the screen. What better person than Raimi to bring it to life.
This truly is up there with the greats like The Matrix of recent times.
Even my wife said..."Wow cool I wanna be like that"....
So can we please have Spiderwomen in the next movie? You never know it could turn into a fantasy! Now, I wonder if they still sell spiderman costumes?
Do yourself a favour, relex let go and watch the movie. It's cool.
Great Casting, Great Direction, Great Atmosphere, Classic story.
I just can't believe Comic Book are still so cool today. The start of the Movie had a HULK advert, looks like we are in for a bunch of great comic book movies!!

Note: other comments about the Green Goblin Dressup - it's supposed to be a power costume! That's explained earler in the film, what you really wanted two superheros in tights fighting it out? It's 2002 for God's sake - wake up! William Dafoe does a great job here.... as always...
