Exactly what you'd expect if a great comic book came to life

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2002)

I grew up reading Marvel and DC super hero comics, and Spiderman was one of my favorites. This movie is a superb and faithful live rendition of the comic book (with the exception of the absence of the mechanical web gizmos on the wrists). The action is tremendous, character development unexpectedly complete, and the special effects are UNBELIEVABLE. You will believe a man can really swing on webs and ride a rocket powered glider. I can't wait to see it again on the bog screen, and I rarely go see the same movie twice in theaters.
