Rating: Summary: Behind The Mask; Inside The Web... Review: A comprehensive look at the making of the SPIDER-MAN legend, from comic-book to film. It's an excellent and interesting story to tell, although Behind The Mask didn't deliver in the graphics department. There just aren't enough illustrations, but there is enough to give the reader a feel of being on the set in the midst of the movie-making magic!
Rating: Summary: High-Quality Glossy Book with Rich Color Artwork and Photos Review: A high quality glossy 200 page large souvenir book that tells the background to the making of the Spider-Man movie. Complete with an alliterate and eloquent introduction by Spider-Man creator Stan "the Man" Lee, and nine chapters of interesting text and richly brilliant and colorful glossy photographs from the movie, including the final version as well as pics taken during its making, samples of old Spider-Man comic strips, storyboards (including three that were left out of the movie), artwork of the characters that shows the examples of what they started with, what was rejected for the film, and how the final characters evolved, and lots of little tidbits, like backgrounds of the cameos, and lots more. Great book. I bought it right after seeing the movie, and it was a great extension of the experience of the film, but it doesn't give away the story - you'd be fine to get the book before hand. ...
Rating: Summary: OUTSTANDING BEHIND THE SCENES INFORMATION! Review: BEHIND THE MASK OF SPIDER-MAN by: Mark Cotta Vaz is one of the best "making of" movie books I have ever read. Fair warning though, this book is so thorough that if you have not already seen Spider-Man then DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! Upon viewing some of the great color photos and reading the indepth information, you'll be completely robbed of any true movie surprises.With that said... In 205 pages, Vaz manages to provide tons of background on the characters, history, and production stages of Spider-Man. You'll find everything from pictures of original comic page art to step-by-step photos on the various concept sketches of both Spider-Man and the Green Goblin (Goblin in particuar is all over the place in the various designs). Vaz clearly did his homework as there are numerous interviews and sound bytes from everyone from Stan Lee to Sam Raimi to Willem Dafoe to producers, stunt people, and FX coordinators. Rarely do "Behind the Scenes" books read as fast and as enjoyable as this one. Now granted, I am a HUGE Spider-Man fan, but I believe that anyone who enjoyed the movie will find lots of insight to be gained from this informative and entertaining book.

Rating: Summary: Grand. A Must for Every Spidey Fan! Review: First of all, this book is basically an extended special edition coverage that we see in the paperback Behind the Mask of Spider-Man, except that this one has the shooting script in it. I believe by now almost all the people who read this review have seen the movie. Some scenes in the script had been deleted from the final theatrical cut, probably on budget constraint. Other than that the book is in the same true spirit of the paperback version. The sharp featured cover alone is worth the value. Makes an interesting read for every die-hard Spidey fans.
