Review of Spider-Man (2002) by Titanic21 — 18 Mar 2018

The original Spider-Man movie has in my eyes what all the new Marvel and especially DC movies are lacking of nowadys: Lovable characters, reasonable depth and emotion. Sure, this one is by far not as much stuffed with action and effects as others, but exactly that's it what makes Spider-Man so sympathic to me.

The atmosphere is pretty sad most the runtime and for the first time I could relate to the actors or at least to their roles, which are from my point of view well casted and more importantly feel with them.

This movie didn't make me cry and neither laugh, but it's quite remarkable to have some calm moments in times of evil needing to be defeated. Unlike many other superficial action and especially super hero movies, this one was to stay in my memory long time after and for sure this one has one of the most important voicelines to start with.

I am very pleased this movie is there and I wish for many of the upcoming Super Hero series to take Spider-Man as an example for how they should be made.
