(sniff) I think I'm gonna cry.

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2002)

You know it's been a long hard trip for movies based on comic books. From Popeye to X-men there has just always been something missing. That
something has got to be Sam Rami. While watching Evil Dead for the first time a few years back I would laugh a little and sit in awe of the
unique talents of the man responsible, but no one else seem to get it. Well now with Spiderman everyone can see the genius of this modern day master as I have. He held nothing back in capturing everything that the Spiderman is about. The slight cheesiness was perfect and let you know that this is the world of Marvel and not some dark reality. This is a place to escape to not from. He captured what Burtin did with Batman. Movies don't always have to be realistic. It is a fantasy. On top of everything he put everyone he knows in this movie. I know that for years to come this genra will be full of crap like the up and coming Daredevil movie with Ben (not an action star) Aflec as the lead and Michae Clark Duncan as Kingpin (?), but there will always be Spiderman.
