I saw Spiderman the other day. The movie, that is - he isn't real. It was entertaining, but I preferred Scorpion King. They are both mindless goo; Scorpion King revelled in it better. Spiderman did nicely with adding a certain dim human element to superhero-ness, and was mostly true to the comic story. I don't think this is a particularly good thing, though, at least not with the Green Goblin as a bad-guy; probably the worst nemesis Spiderman ever had. The one major deviation from comic story was in having the webs be an innate part of the superpowers, rather than a gadget, which had the unfortunate side-effect of entirely removing any hint of scientific abilities from the character. Which was a shame, since it left him pretty much pathetic until he got spidered. The best compliment I have for the movie is that the actress of Mary Jane has nice teeth.
