Rating: Summary: Not just another Comic Book Movie Review: I'm really frustrated with those who 'don't expect much' from a movie about a Superhero. Maybe you don't like these types of movies because you expect too much. As far as superheros go, I'm ecstatic that they've finally brought Spider-Man to the big screen. He's the one superhero that posseses substance and uniqueness. He's not some alien from outerspace with powers or a billionaire that can afford a suit with gadgets. He's just an average guy that was changed when a genetically-engineered spider bit him. In todays world, something like that could happen-and so it seems Spider-Man is the most realistic superhero. I expect an amazing movie and am happy that they did not pick Freddie Prinze Jr. or Brendan Fehr to play Spider-Man. Tobey Maguire is the perfect choice to bring forth Spider-Mans human nature and troubled reality. He'll show the depth that Spider-Man has. To add with the great special effects and what looks to be a great plot-this should be an awesome movie. I am, however, disappointed that Kirsten Dunst was chosen to play Mary Jane. I will say she is a good actress but it is too bad Kate Hudson had to back out-she would have fit the puzzle perfectly. I can't wait til May 3rd. P.S. Does anyone know the name of the songs played in the Spider-Man previews?
Rating: Summary: The trailer impressed me... Review: ...with the absolutely perfect translation of Spider-Man's fluidity of motion and poses from the comic to the live-action screen. Examine the shots of him leaping from the side of a building, casting a web-line onto a cornice, whipping through the concrete canyons, soft-landing upside down under a lintel--perfect! You can imagine King Kirby's artwork as snapshots from these sequences. This really IS the comic come to life, and I have to say, "Well done, ladies and gentlemen!" They really did pull it off and I'm still amazed.Toby Maguire, Willem Dafoe...big names, yes, but also big acting talent. That bodes well; you can add CG, costumes, FX to an imperfectly-cast actor and come out okay, but no amount of bells and whistles can make up for bad acting (George Clooney as Batman? Oh please...) I don't know the plot (other than the broadest outlines of the origin story--I'd rather be surprised). But come May 3rd, I'll believe that a guy with the proportional strength and speed of a spider could become your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. It's wonderful when you see a beloved childhood icon treated with care and fondness, and very painful when the producers take a cavalier attitude toward the subject. I haven't read the comics for years, but Batman and Spider-Man and other great genre heroes became part of my childhood mythology. I love dipping into that nostalgic well, and I hate seeing those memories sullied (Kevin Kostner as Robin Hood...I rest my case.) Let's hope they can pull it off for 120 minutes. Excelsior!
Rating: Summary: This IS Spider Man! Review: I am now 51 years old. I was there in the beginning. The first comic books, the cartoons, television, it has taken all this time to find the perfect director and cast, visuals and audios, to recreate the way it was. I applaud you! ...
Rating: Summary: Youngest Spidey Fan Review: I may only be 4 (almost 5) years old, but I know my superheroes. My first favorite hero was Batman, then I found Power Rangers. But my favorite hero of all is SPIDER-MAN and I haven't even seen the movie yet, just some cartoons! I often wear my spider-man costume and wrestle my Mom and Dad pretending they're the bad guys. I told my Mom that when I grow up I want to be Spider-man and save all the people. We're all counting the days until the movie comes out because we know it's going to be THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!
Rating: Summary: Excelent Story, Nice Casting, Just What Fans Expect For Review: I'm a Fan of Spidey Since I Was 7. I think this movie is what most of us waiting in terms of quality, fx, crew, and story. I've already buy the copy of the #1 magazine at amazon and I will close my business at may 3rd. to see te movie. Thanks!!
Rating: Summary: Marvel's big guns... Review: DC comics has had it's days with the Superman & Batman movies. Now finally, Marvel brings out it's big guns with Spiderman. Oh sure, "Xmen" was a good effort. And so was "Blade" (with its sequel due in March). But Spidey is Marvel's golden boy. Like Superman & Batman, kids are BORN knowing who Spiderman is. It's going to be "Batmania" all over again. As an adult, I tend to be more cautious when it comes to movies like this one. When all you see is the eye-candy effects and no sight of a real story. I hope to Stan Lee that I'm wrong and we actually get a great plot as well as great effects & action. Probably won't, though. Spiderman will be a hit, regardless. With all of the factors the other reviewers mentioned such as the actors, director, & effects, it will definitely give Star Wars: Episode II some serious competition. Plus we get the infamous Danny ... Elfman supplying the score. Spiderman won't be great, but it will be (darn) good!! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title
Rating: Summary: From A Long-time Spidey fan Review: I'm really looking forward to this big-screen version of my favourite comic - I've been reading all the Spidey titles for 20 years. I think Tobey Mcguire is an excellent actor, although I'm not sure about the new-look Green Goblin...but I guess I'll get used to it. My only fear is the usual one people have when a cherished franchise recieves an adaptation into a new medium - will it capture the essence of the comics correctly? I don't know how Sam Raimi will cope with handling such a big project as this, so different to his other work, but I'm pretty confident he'll do the best job possible. Let's hope so!
Rating: Summary: Spiderman Review: Thia movie is gonna be great! They picked just the right stars to star in it too. I'll see you guys on May 3rd! ;)
Rating: Summary: spiderman is totally outrageous Review: Well, unlike many of my fellow reviewers, I am well over the age of 13, but I still think Spiderman rules!!! I have a six year old son and I don't know who the bigger fan is - me or him. I can't wait to see this movie and I think it is about time the Spidey guy got his day on the big screen. I say bravo to the Spiderman and go kick some bad guy butt!!!!!
