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.

After seeing and loving Spider-man, all i can say is that Spider-man 2 is going to be everything that Spider-man 1 promised to be. I say this because Spider-man 1 is more plot driven, the characters are introduced and explored, which i think is a great intro for the film to become a franchise. But Spider-man 1 looks like it was going to be all out action and web slinging but it is not.
------SPOILER ALERT, DON'T LOOK DOWN IF YOU DONT WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FILMS FINALE---------------
The only parts of the film that i felt stuck to the films advertising was the wrestling match, the part when peter chases his uncle's murderer, and the finale when Green goblin and spidy fight in the worn down building thing. The part when goblin inpails himself on the hover board looks very cool.

I too thought it was a great film, with an excellent soundtrack also. I was disappointed with the ending though (I suppose you have to expect predictability, it being a comic-book film and all), and there were over 80 mistakes in the film apparently. Still, worth seeing, as Spidey fans will enjoy it.
