an average film, not worthy of the hype

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 2003)

This film has not lived up to expectations and this is dissapointing as there is so much potential for a story of this type especially as spiderman is such a well renowned character and an idol for children etc. I would have liked to see some more interesting characters and i was hoping to see venom or maybe dr octopus, someone with a bit more scare and agrressiveness than the "green Goblin" - i dont think he's scary at all. I thought the film was too artificial because the characters were too wrapped up in their superhero ways and people saying "look, its Spiderman" its just a bit cheesy for me. And the bits in the burning building are a blatant rip off of the matrix - its been used too much and is just a bor now. It needed something new and impressive but it just couldnt deliver this.
