yeah i saw it this morning in the savoy and have to say that it's really REALLY good.
Some mad camera angles when spidey is swinging through the city, esp. at the end with the taxi's. It had some really funny moments too, like when he tries to use the web for the first time
and kirsten dunst NYOM NYOM (re: in the rain with no bra )
One thing that bugged me was that you could see the goblins mouth behing the black mesh. I didn't mind the eyes but argh.0 -

I guess they decided to stick it in after taking out the twin towers
Yeah I'd put money on that being the case. Also did you notice the "you mess with one New Yorker , you mess with us all!" scene that seemed have been cobbled into the script for no apparent reason?
Irregardless I loved the film and I'd rate it about fifty times better than the latest Star Wars movie. Both were preposterous supercharged action flicks but at least Raimi had the good sence to make sure Spiderman didn't take itself seriously.
Oh yeah, and Kirsten Dunst with red hair and a wet t-shirt? Money shot! 0 -

I wasn't that impressed TBH. I hear a lot of people comparing it to Attack of The Clones (I wouldn't even compare, because there in different leagues) IMO
The CGI in Spiderman wasn't great especially @ the bit:Where he finds out he has the powers and starts leaping from rooftop to rooftop.
Also in this day and age, a movie that is as predicatable as Superman, just doesn't cut it (Bad things happen, Spiderman just happens to be there, saves the day, gets the girl, happy happy times). I probably won't be going to see the next one, because I have already imagined what is going to happen, hence saving me seven yoyos.

Agreed. The flow between CGI and real footage was flawless, but it's tad obvious which is which. CGI has a lot of evolving to do though.........
I enjoyed it, simply because it really kept with the comic book stuff, even the cheesy lines. The Green Goblin's outfit was supposed to look fake, just scary, hence why you can see him talking behind the mask. It really kept with the dark undertones of the comic too, like peter's unhappiness, the idea of the 'curse' etc etc. And Kirsten Dunst with red hair, no bra, in the rain. OMG nyom.
Rates up there with batman for me in the 'Great comics turned into movies' category. 0 -
(Bad things happen, Spiderman just happens to be there, saves the day, gets the girl, happy happy times)
Did you leave the cinema early or something?
It was pedictable as hell admitttedly but good fun, and I don't really care if an action/superhero/comic book film doesn't require me to engage my brain.0 -

No, I waited for the whole thing, but my as superhero movies go, they tend to follow the same pattern of events (to a degree). In the case of Spiderman it was
Bad things happen
Spiderman just happens to be there
saves the daygets the girl (but decides that he would prefer to be gay, rather than score with a bird that stands in the rain with no bra!).happy happy times
and in the case of movies like Dante's Peak/Volcano, they also end with the happy happy times, but the characters seem to have quickly forgotten that half the town has been wiped out, and they probably don't have any job to go to, since their place of business doesn't exist anymore, and also the cost of living will most likely go up. But that doesn't seem to enter their heads, as they all hug (who is left), and smile, while tripping over the rubble that once formed their quant little town. Awwww
Sorry about that last paragraph, but it is typical of the mindless nature of such movies (spiderman included).0 -

Some of you really need to chill out and relax.
Its a movie.As with any movie of the type that Spider-Man fits into,you need to leave your brain at the door and just enjoy the show.Unlike most movies of this type,Spider-Man does not disapoint at all.
I enjoyed this film and am delighted to not be disapointed after seeing a film Iv been looking forward to for so long
It's ment to be cheesy as its based on a Comic ffs,so they cant go and alienate the target audience.Any one who has ever read the Spider-Man comic's will understand what Im taking about here.
As for the CGI not being up to scratch,well I think some of you better get your eyes tested
As for the comment about JP and it looking ok back then and the latest movies looking bad in the CGI department,well that easy to explain.We all see people and how they move everyday so any little slip up with a CGI human stands out in the back off our brains and the alarm bells go off.A CGI monster/animal/fish wont set the alarm off as we dont see them up close that much in real life
Spider-Man is a great movie with good cast,fantastic effects and acting that is spot on when compaired to the comic.
Im just hoping the pick Venom as the villain for the next movie as the CGI could really do him justice 0 -
