Spider Man is Super on Screen

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2007)

Spider Man, the genesis of the now comic book superhero trilogy. It's a trilogy now, but it is supposed to become the Harry Potter or Police Academy of comic book movies. The first one is the best more often than not, and that holds true for Spider Man as well. It was so fresh, so new and Peter Parker was young and carefree, making Spider Man a much more endearing character.
Spider Man was super hyped, and for the most part it delivered. If it did not deliver, it would not have been the first nor the last overly hyped movie to bomb. Fortunately, Spider Man was an excellent movie from both a story standpoint and a cinematic standpoint. Spider Man and X-Men are the blueprints for the correct way to convert a comic book to a movie.
