Your not superman you know.......

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2012)

On a school field trip, Peter Parker is bitten by a genetically modified spider.
He wakes up the next morning with incredible powers. After witnessing the death of his uncle, Parkers decides to put his new skills to use in order to rid the city of evil, but someone else has other plans.
The Green Goblin sees Spider-Man as a threat and must dispose of him.
Even if it means the Goblin has to target Parker's Aunt and the girl he secretly pines for....
The firs thing that strikes you when you watch Spiderman now, is how structured and peripheral the narrative and the story is. Foe a comic book movie telling a story, it's still probably one of the best origin stories going.
But the years haven't been kind to the film, the effects have dated somewhat, especially the climbing scenes, and Maguire appears not as good as we all thought he was.
But the rest of the cast are still fantastic, Dafoe is still the most shocking villain from the original trilogy, and his struggles with his dark side are is the venom running throughout the film.
It can get a little stodgy at times, and Spiderman doesn't appear tow have the swagger he does in the comics, but it's still a triumph.
