Maybe Shaky...but STRONG!

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2002)

Before I start...I hated Batman....thought X-men was just okay. and I'm a HUGE comic fan.
with that said...
Spider-man was a GREAT comic to movie adaptation. It's not made for fans alone, but everyone who might associate with life and regrets. I'll keep my views short... Whereas, I heard the effects were shabby and the story was amazing... this is only slightly true. Spider-man's look was greatly acceptable, the story wonderful, BUT THE DIALOG (in places...especially between Peter and MaryJane) GOD awful. Would the person who wrote those lines actually say them?!?! If so, no wonder they're a hermit.
The fight scenes we're ALL the X-men should have been- visual and personal.
My last comment is on the score. Mr. Elfman- can you resell the same tired melodies one more time? Please, retire to dramas...
Overall, I loved it... if all us comic fans excepted Burton's satire called 'Batman' then we should all rejoice at what Raimi has handed us.
Thank You...
