The Web (the beginning)

Rating: Null/10 (1 November 2002)

I just finished watching Spider-Man and I was satisfied. I would have to say this is a good movie for many reasons. For the people (like myself) who have heard the Spider-man origin time after time can enjoy the blockbuster portrayal before their eyes. The people (like youngsters) whose knowledge of the Spider-man history is bleak, it is a nice introduction to get them caught up. I believe it was action packed and kept the viewer glued and interested to the storyline. I have the whole "Batman" scenario running through my head. I am sure all of you see it. That's good. I just hope the makers of Spider-man can do it better. I was a fan of the first two "Batman" movies, but then I feel it started getting bad. I hope this time its different. Marvel has finally taken the reigns in a blockbuster movie. We have seen DC comics with much success with both "Superman" & "Batman" and now Marvel with "Spider-man." I hear soon we will also have "Dare-Devil" and "The Hulk." I am a huge Hulk fan and cannot wait for that to unleash itself on the world. I just hope it's as good as "Spider-man." Oh the one thing that kind of stood out from the comics (to me anyway) was the webshooters. If my memory serves me correctly Peter Parker never had webshooters automatically when he started his transformation. In the comics, he actually created the webshooters and it wasn't part of the mutation. Oh well, I had to get a little bickering in. Other than that (which there could be more things) I would have to say this was a very nice watch and I would recommend it to comic and non-comic fans. Enjoy!
