Superhero films, I love em! Spiderman is no exception in that it's a great little action film. As usual with remakes of Superhero films, it's an origin story, but they've changed a few things since the first Spiderman comics showed us how Peter Parker learned to climb walls.

Back then, he had to design web shooters to fire webs from his arms and the spider was radioactive, now the spider that bites him is genetically changed (in keeping with the times, I guess) and he can actually shoot webs from his arms, yuck!

The film is full of action, comedy and all that hero pathos that goes with the origin story, but it still feels a bit short when it's finished. What is there is excellent, but I can't help feeling there could have been more to it. Toby Maguire is great as the geeky Peter, although Spidey could have had more wisecracks. Mr Jamerson (sp?) is so much like the comic version and the cartoons too, they've obviously gone all the way to model his speech and looks on the original.

Ok, so this is not supposed to be a review, only a few thoughts after watching the movie. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting superhero action in a popcorn style, but die-hard Spidey fans may be left wanting more from the movie.

Downloaded it and watched it 3 times last week(got 81 full movies now :)). Its a very cool that will be a brilliant film for fans but still a great film for anyone. This is defiantly a film will be buying on DVD. May even go and see it again at the cinema.
