Raimi spins a charming web.

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2002)

This movie has everything a film needs to be successful... big budget effects, solid cast,romance, and humor. However, the one thing it has a lot of blockbusters lack is a general concern to tell a good solid story with fully realized characters. Raimi's version had to put a smile on Stan Lee's face, because the first hour of the film captures the charm of the character and the comic. At then end of the movie, the theater I saw this in broke out with applause. The cast and crew deserve that applause for not relying only on the effects and gee whiz action scenes (attention Mr. Lucas LOL). Spiderman is a charming, fun, and well put together movie. 9/10
