should of used the theme song from the sixties cartoon...

Rating: 6/10 (1 June 2002)

well i sorta enjoyed the movie. having read a fair number of spider hyphen man comics in my younger days made the first part of the movie (about the origins of spidey) a bit boring. only after spidey is seen in his trademark superhero threads do the movie start to get a little more lively.
after initially viewing the trailer showing helicopter caught in the giant spider web, i figured they were just going to make a cartoony adaptation but fortunately director sam raimi managed to make the characters realistic and believable for the most part. the special effects however, were a bit of mixed bag. the most bothersome part was having spidey perpetually swinging through the city streets by shooting his webbing seemingly into the sky... kinda reminded me of the corny spiderman cartoon of the 60s.
overall not a bad start, hopefully the next installment will be more action oriented.
rating :6/10
