Another good super hero film

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2002)

Spider-Man is a good film. It is good because much like X-Men and Tim Burton's Batman it takes itself seriously. The story is very close to the comic book which should please fans. The film presents us with the familiar story of an underdog who is subjected to extraordinary circumstances. My only gripe was with the character of the Green Goblin. His suit seemed a bit ridiculous at times and it seemed as if the character should have been developed a bit more before becoming the movie's villain. The dialogue is lacking in some parts and seems to have been hastily written. But these are only small problems as the film is put together rather well. It is highly recommended for people of all ages.
