Spider-Man

Pros: Action, majority of the actors, story.

Cons: James Franco, somewhat cheesy/forced love story.

The Bottom Line: It's amazing because the action is so amazing. Why else do you think it's broken so many box-office records?

Review: I never read the Spider-man comics, but I thoroughly enjoyed this action-packed flick. When the trailers started to appear more and more frequently, I became more and more anxious to see this movie. I knew who and what Spiderman was, but I never really...

Pros: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

Cons: There's no 'Welcome True-Believers'.

The Bottom Line: Worth every penny of admission, and almost nothing is worth the price of admission.

Review:
If you've seen 'Unbreakable', then you've already seen what will likely remain the best comic book superhero movie ever. But, if you haven't seen 'Spider-Man' yet, you haven't seen the best translation of an existent comic book superhero...

Pros: Just about everything

Cons: Pacing in first half, CGI effects

The Bottom Line: I had forgotten just how good this movie is. A superhero tale with true heart.

Review: Even though I've had a life long interest in Superheroes, I've actually invested very little of my life in consuming the various books and movies made about them. I've been working on changing that with some of the big screen movies in recent years. ...

Pros: Maguire, Dafoe, Directing, Music, Cinematography-Everything! (almost)

Cons: Kirsten Dunst and not enough wall climbing going on!

The Bottom Line: This movie is one of the most entertaining you will see this year! There are some super extras on the DVD set that make it special!

Review: In spite of the hundreds of reviews on site, I had to enter mine. This movie has my vote for the most entertaining movie of the year. Maybe it is not the BEST movie, but the most entertaining for any audience. Even if you have seen the movie in the...

Pros: Respect for the source material, two stellar leads, and a boatload of "Oh Wow!" moments.

Cons: Some people think the concept of a human spider is silly. Weird, huh?

The Bottom Line: As a superhero flick, it's already one of the best. As a plain old "movie", it's one of the most entertaining I've seen in years.

Review: Forget the hype, as no amount of heavy saturation TV ads and billboards will stand the test of time like a good movie will. And while it may not be a perfect film, Spider-Man easily earns its spot among the superhero elite.

Ignore the...

Pros: Good translation of comic book hero

Cons: If you're expecting anything new in the Spider-Man legend, you won't find it here

The Bottom Line: A faithful translation of the comic book hero to the big screen. What else could you want out of this flick?

Review: I tend to hate movies about comic book heroes for a number reasons. They rarely manage to capture the "feel" of a comic book and invariably wind up stocked with so much cheese you'd think they were filmed in Wisconsin. Those Batman movies are prime...

Pros: Great acting, great effects, great story

Cons: Poor casting of Ben and May Parker

The Bottom Line: Lots of fun for the whole family. A great summer blockbuster.

Review: Forty years ago, legendary comic book writer Stan Lee created a superhero that was a big departure from the norm of super-powerful, almighty strange visitors from other worlds. This hero was different; he was a self conscious, nerdy teenager plagued with...

Pros: Perfect mixture of action, great acting and character development.

Cons: I wanted to hear the theme song.

The Bottom Line: Perfect amounts of action, great acting and character development. I wanted to hear the theme song.

Review: Spider-Man

I thought this movie was the best yet from the superheroes. I have not felt this strongly about a good guy since the first Superman. As for the Batman Movies none of them can hold a candle to this superb action, comedy,...

Pros: Tobey in spandex, action, thrills, emotional depth, psychological drama and Tobey in spandex.

Cons: Kirsten Dunst phoned this one in.

The Bottom Line:

Marvel Comics Favorite Wallcrawler, now in a movie that does his story justice.

Review: Spider Man (2002) Directed by Sam Riami"Remember, with great power comes great responsibility." Ben Parker.DC Comics has Superman as their flagship; Marvel has Spider Man.  Superman was first, he is iconic.  He is ...

Pros: great film, lots of action, awesome effects and the Scooby Doo preview

Cons: not true to comic - but I didn't expect that - a bit long

The Bottom Line: not always accurate to the comic, but good just the same. great casting and lots of action.

Review: I can already see the comic book guy from the Simpsons logging his complaints, along with all the other guys who live in the basement of the science building and rarely see the light of day - yeah he shoots the web directly from his arm and yeah it's not...
