Fun but will it last?

Rating: 7/10 (14 June 2002)

I am not a huge superhero fan,I dont read comics or follow cartoon shows but Spiderman did look good enough on its own merits to go see. I enjoyed it alot.In fact I consider it to be one of the best superhero movies ever made.But I didnt have an urge to see it more than once.The problem was in the overall tone.It felt too hip somehow.At times it felt like a genY music video.The story was simple enough to appeal to the average audience,as you would expect from an origin story but the emotional content was bare.The acting was rather stiff.For example when uncle Ben was killed they passed over it quickly and Peter was back making his wisecracks in no time.Of course this will be a franchise but will it keep up the momentum or become another bad Batman movie?
