Disappointment for fans

Rating: 6/10 (21 July 2003)

I used to read the comic of this super-hero and I can say that I was a great fan. When I heard that the movie was out on cinemas I urged to watch it. The movie for someone who has not ever read the comic, might seem an excellent work, but for those fans who grew up reading it propably might regard it as average. The director, Raimi, created just a good action movie with a super-hero who impresses the viewer with his skills. The story is good but I think the complaint of most of the real fans is that the director failed to represent Spider-man as he really was in the comics. The character played by Tobie Maguire was disappointing and the fact that he had never read a single issue of the comic prior to the movie, speaks for its self. Let's hope the sequel will be better...
