The Lizard is surely the best super villain for the first movie

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2012)

This is not the typical super heroes movie careless with the plot. For instance, instead of the obvious archenemy Green Goblin, the best super villain for the Spider Man origin movie was chosen:
in the comic books, the amputated scientist Curtis Connors developed a serum from a reptile to regrew his lost limb, but he became a huge humanoid lizard in the process. That's why his the easiest villain to relate to Spider Man origin (and some maybe other villains). This was essential to make almost all story events caused by good reasons instead of mere coincidences - that's very unusual in super hero movies.
It was made a good job to show Peter Parker learning that he should take his responsibilities, clearly evolving through his experiences, struggling with his new powers and passing by the obstacles with the help of those he helped before. Little touches to remember one of the moral messages of the movie - responsibility - made the difference. But he's not alone: all characters change with the circumstances, changing their opinions about morality and the other characters. And there was no need for them to make stupid decisions for the story progression and stupid jokes for a young audience, who prefer fights and explosions.
Yes, this is one the few hero movies with a good plot.
