A great adaptation. A great movie.

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2009)

Comic or marvel lovers will definitely favourite this one. A nice and simple adaptation to a legendary cartoon to a soon to be legendary movie. A delightful action film to watch with your family or friends. It's a fun action, adventure with some dilemmas and romance. A not so "big familiar cast" have to step up for this one and even though they are not formally the talk of the town, they did a very decent job in playing there roles. Partically Tobey Maguire, He gave that touch that the "Spider man" character needed.
Even though it made an outstanding achievement, it lacked on something quite big. But we can discuss that later, for now let's discuss the good: The plot was quite the one. A nerdy young adult, a pushover and a victim for the bully's. Get's bitten by a spider which combines the special feature in the spider ( like the ability to climb, jump further, speed, spider strength and obviously ability to make webs.) with the human features ( human strength. etc) So as you surely should already know Spider Man is obviously a hero with super hero powers. During the movie spider man comes across with a villain as you would expect, so yes loads of fighting and limited action. Yes very limited, no real gore, swearing or shooting. But the action is well panned out and executed well. Some effects were quite cool too. The designers did very well indeed, costumes were perfect. The script was also good, it was witty and clever especially a scene towards the end and the famous line "With great power comes great responsibility."
Now.lets discuss the one main thing it lacked. Without spoiling it for anyone that has not yet seen this movie. Peter Parker comes to use his powers a bit to quick. There should be a 10 to 20 minutes were Peter is still trying to test his powers and realising what he is capable off. It is some doubt in his head about his powers as he confused on what's going on. But his knowledge of the powers come a bit to quick. Nothing really major, but still something that could have made the rating go up 2 more! Overall I'm sure many of you have seen this film already but if you haven't. It's wonderful in many ways. It's cool, funny/witty, its got a decent amount of enjoyable action and some nice special effects. The best super hero movie of it's genre and great adaptation and a highly enjoyable flick.
