well done

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2002)

After seeing Spiderman, I'm pleased to see that the super-heroes we loved as kids and some of us still as adults are finally being brought to the big screen they way they should be. No more hokey scripts like the one's that destroyed the Batman series, and CG effects that do them justice. Maybe Hollywood will finally pull their head out and realize these stories are box office gold if they are taken seriously and done right.
X-Men was good, and it was also done with good believable dialogue and acting. Spiderman continues that trend. Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst do a commendable job, and again like so many characters of this type which happen to be young adults like Peter Parker, the problems and emotions that they go through are believable. Which is why Marvel Comics stays in business as long as they have, because they inject this very ingredient into their comic books.
Hopefully the upcoming "Hulk" movie will stay on this course. I'd love to see more of the Marvel and DC heroes on the big screen in the near future.
