State of the Art Super Hero

Rating: Null/10 (6 May 2002)

"Spider-Man" is a class act all the way around and is definitely the movie to beat in the super hero genre. Oh, how far we've come since Adam West and Burt Ward! Sam Raimi on direction, John Dykstra on special effects and Danny Elfman on music score are all the best at what they do and it shows on screen. Even minor starpower actors like Tobey McGuire and Kirsten Dunst come through, along side sich solid performers as Willem Defoe and Cliff Robertson. I'll keep my comments here short (you can get all the technical and Marvel info in other reviews and web sites) --- let me just say that you may have trouble driving your car away from the theater after seeing this movie.... you'll have the strongest urge to fly and swoop through traffic. Not a good idea. What is a good idea is seeing "Spider-Man". See you on The Web!
