mediocre

Rating: Null/10 (4 December 2002)

Basically if you poor enough money into a story as interesting as spider-man it should be watchable. well it is, but not much more than that.
I tried to avoid this movie seeing how it was big budgeted and the commericals look like it was soaked with cgi. Well i caved in rented it after seeing the part with uncle ben talking to peter in wallmart(aka hell). Was it as bad as i thought it would be? no. Was it good?no.
i'll admiit that im a bit of a reformed comicbook geek but, it wasn't the descrepency's with the comics that bothered me (with the one exception that peter stands his own with the tough guy at school, peter was still a loser in school. And would always think to himself "if only they knew i was spiderman). It was the fact that is was poorly developed. One minute thay move to the city, the next he has a spider-man costume, aunt may cry's after her husbend dies for two seconds. does peter cry at all?
The ending is too blatent as well.
also. the green goblin is a p*** poor villian. if you'd like to see a good comic book movie watch tim burton's batman movies or the the first superman. Marvel's big budget x-men is equally as bad, and i have my doubts that good comic book will come out for some time.
I know these movies are suposed to be for kids but if they took a little more effort they could be enjoyed by adults too.
lord of the rings, both harry potter movies, and star wars ep 2 have all been on the top 250. none of these movies are really horrible but none of them have anything special about them. HEll the effects of these 50million plus movies arent even good. when you see computer graphics you think "wow thats great" although you can tell it was obviously done with a computer and sticks out from everything else thats going on. Put more people in rubber suits, when thats done right it can look real.
