Lightweight version of the original Batman

Rating: 6/10 (8 June 2002)

Raimi does an excellent job on this film and it helps that Toby Maguire actually looks like a spider. A lot of what worked in Tim Burton's Batman works in this film. The most talented actor in the flick was the villain, and it showed the freak circumstances that created not only Spiderman, but his enemy. This show is definitely more for children than adults as the dronelike cartoon on TV is probably a source of more of the demographic than the comic book and your 5 year old is not going to find it as spooky as the darker Batman series.
