SpiderMan, my favourite superhero. I remember reading all the comics and annuals growing up and even had some of the toys …. Marvel had a great idea to start bringing characters from their comics and make them into movies. One of the first was Spiderman. Stan Lee's comic book hero was about to come to life. Sam Raimi the director ...  Read the complete review

With the strength and web weaving ability ...  Read the complete review

Please note that this review is not about the sequel but about the first movie that was good enough for investors to pay for a sequel. I also would like to add that this review is for the DVD review of Spider-Man which I just bought from dvdmad.com and spent all weekend watching. Let's be honest. All-things-for-all-ages event movies ...  Read the complete review

The superhero movie thang has been a bit overbearing of late … you know what I mean, a bunch of guys in tights (or black rubber in cinemaworld) running round doing their superbusiness, eating their superburgers and going to their supertoilets … turn around and you’ve got the latest weirdo crawling out from under a stone and putting the world to ...  Read the complete review

[Aside: as seems to be becoming the usual for me, I am aware this is posted in the wrong category. It is a review of Spiderman 2 NOT the original. I will try and sort this out but don?t really expect to succeed as dooyoo apparently don?t like adding films that are still at the cinema. Wish me luck anyway!] ...  Read the complete review

The Marvel Comics empire did something very special in the Sixties which stamped it out as being something extremely different from DC Comics, its only major competitor in the United States - it got itself a social conscience, and the hippie era with its preoccupation with peace and love and protecting our environment and started exploring social ...  Read the complete review

Spider-man was one of the most eagerly awaited superhero films of the modern age, and it definitely set itself a high standard to live up to. Produced with a story adapted from the popular comic book series which already had a large following the film needed to produce something spectacular in order to please the many avid fans. I would wager that ...  Read the complete review

Let me first say that I wasn't going to see this movie until I saw the previews where Spider-Man was swinging between buildings. I am usually not a fan of comic book characters, such as Batman, The Hulk, Spider-Man, etc. But while in the theater I saw a great preview of Spider-Man, and realized that there would be great effects. Still a little ...  Read the complete review

Okay, me being me, I always seem to be a tad on the controversial side so why should I break the mould now? I will probably end up being hung drawn and quartered for this but what the hey. It is official, I hate Spiderman the movie <<HUGE DISBELIEVING GASP!>> Why do I hate this film? Please, read on. ////// THE PLOT \\\\\\ ...  Read the complete review

After all the hype and record breaking in the USA I could not miss this film in the cinemas like I did with X Men (seeing it on dvd at home is just not the same) so i went to see it at the brilliant luxury Warner Star City cinema near Birmingham in June last year and all the hype did not do justice to this great film, it's a masterpiece of ...  Read the complete review

Most of the big movies that come along in the summer are ones that I can really take or leave well alone. I like them to be completely in-offensive, have a few laughs and generally entertain you. Spiderman does all of those things but I also found it had a story as well as a bit of romance, sure it also had a very buff Tobey Maguire but ...  Read the complete review
