A Bit Too Much Violence...

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2002)

The casting was top notch, the special effects very good, although a bit suspect in a few swinging cases when Spidey seemed a bit out of proportion to his surroundings. The violence was aimed at teenagers who have been weaned on WWF baloney, and if Spidey can get easily cut, how does he live through a fire and getting slammed through numerous walls? I realize it's basically a cartoon, but even the kids with me commented on that aspect. There was a lot of random violence which minimized the value of human life, but that's how you make a bad guy bad these days. Not as good as the original Superman or Batman, although they are now very out of date due to our increased technology, but good enough that I will go see the sequel.
