good superhero film making

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2004)

Spider Man, the film, is a brilliant interpretation of the comic book in a positive light, bringing all of the impact that Stan Lee made in the book to the big screen. Maguire was cast wisely, as were the rest, and the film is lacking only in the effects department, which failed to live up to the realism contrived in the superb script. I grant this film a nine out of ten, for a comic book movie which I adore, and one which I look forward to continuing. Danny Elfman drove the score to new heights of excitement.
