Inspiring stuff from comic book genius

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 2002)

How often does a comic actually work well on the screen? Batman was good but, this is better. Special effects, quality performances from Maguire and Defoe, a beautiful young and upcoming girl (who looks great in a kimono!). Even the crazy comic lines are carried off well by Maguire, who manages somehow to carry off the well muscled nerd. And the little bits of Matrix style imagery fit perfectly into the film. A great one for curling up on the sofa with, its a lot more than just an action movie. Enjoy!
