Very good, but could have been just a little better

Rating: 7/10 (25 January 2003)

I'm a comic book collector, with tons of Spidey experience, so that can't help but influence my review. On the one hand, they got a lot right. I've seen a lot worse when it comes to comic book adaptations. They treated this with some reverence. On the other hand, there were aspects that seemed to not be entirely well thought out. I won't go into detail, but it could have been just a little better. A few plot holes, and a little bit of summer blockbuster hyperbole that wasn't really necessary. I would have liked to give it at least 8, but I gave it a 7 out of 10.
