Would you like to swing from the sky?

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2002)

I was never one to read comics when I was young.. or old for that matter, however, I could enjoy the way this interpretation of Spiderman thoroughly enjoying. I had a few complaints, but only once really sticks in my mind that really is becoming more prevalent in today's movies and more specifically blockbuster moves: Lack of acting.
Maybe it's the actor or actress. Maybe it's the director holding on too much, but the only actor which really outshined everyone else's character was the editor, Jamison. He barked, he glared, he sneered, he punned, he was ANIMATED in a way only a HAM can animate a character. I really, truly felt that if Sam Ramie had allowed that to perpetrate all his characters, I would have considered myself fully entertained.
But this first blockbuster of the year is really setting a hopeful precedence on this year.
