True to its roots- A Super Hero Comic Book Movie

Rating: 9/10 (4 February 2013)

Almost as if lifted out of Amazing Fantasy #15 . Some scenes were right out of Stan Lees original version and Spiderman looked like John Buscmea drew him...Peter Parker looked like Peter Parker...There was a story and not just a SFX-CFX slug fest. Spiderman wise cracked . The movie was like reading a few issues of Spiderman ...penned by Stan and drawn by John Buscema. Of course some of the elements are missing: The Daily Bugle and J. Jonah Jameson. the Wrestling fight... but then those elements have been covered by the first installments. But overall this is one of the best Comic Book movies (true to the Comic Book roots) I have seen. This Spiderman and more so this Peter Parker is how I always imagined these Characters. I am a Comic book fan since the late 60ties and have not missed a single Spider Man comic since then and to me the original stories penned by Stan are still the best. The movie strikes a nice balance between action and story.
