Big hype, small delivery

Rating: 6/10 (6 May 2002)

Overall this was a good film not a great one. I, like so many others, grew up reading spiderman comics. With all of the hype preceeding this film there was no way it could live up to the expectation. The film had good (not great) action. After about the first 30 minutes the film began to drag on. However, as with so many trilogy films the first installment lays the groundwork, the next 2 usually surpass the first in storyline and action. Overall I would give the film 6 stars for sticking to the comic.
