SPIDER-MAN NOW AVAILABLE

SPIDER-MAN NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE SPIDER-MAN FROM IMDB

Based on Marvel Comics' superhero character, this is a story of Peter Parker who is a nerdy high-schooler. He was orphaned as a child, bullied by jocks, and can't confess his crush for his stunning neighborhood girl Mary Jane Watson. To say his life is "miserable" is an understatement. But one day while on an excursion to a laboratory a runaway radioactive spider bites him... and his life changes in a way no one could have imagined. Peter acquires a muscle-bound physique, clear vision, ability to cling to surfaces and crawl over walls, shooting webs from his wrist ... but the fun isn't going to last. An eccentric millionaire Norman Osborn administers a performance enhancing drug on himself and his maniacal alter ego Green Goblin emerges. Now Peter Parker has to become Spider-Man and take Green Goblin to the task... or else Goblin will kill him. They come face to face and the war begins in which only one of them will survive at the end. Written by Soumitra

On a school field trip, Peter Parker (Maguire) is bitten by a genetically modified spider. He wakes up the next morning with incredible powers. After witnessing the death of his uncle (Robertson), Parkers decides to put his new skills to use in order to rid the city of evil, but someone else has other plans. The Green Goblin (Dafoe) sees Spider-Man as a threat and must dispose of him. Even if it means the Goblin has to target Parker's Aunt (Harris) and the girl he secretly pines for (Dunst) Written by Film_Fan

A rather odd thing has just occurred in the life of nerdy high school student Peter Parker: after being bitten by a genetically modified spider, his body chemistry is altered mutagenically. He can now scale walls and ceilings, he has superhuman strength and super-fast reflexes, and he develops a precognitive sense that warns him of approaching danger. Adopting the name Spider-Man, Peter first uses his newfound powers to make money, but after his uncle is murdered at the hands of a criminal Peter failed to stop, he swears to use his powers to fight the evil that killed his uncle. At the same time, scientist and businessman Norman Osborn, after exposure to an experimental nerve gas, develops an alternate personality himself: the super-strong, psychotic Green Goblin! Peter Parker must now juggle three things in his life: his new job at a local newspaper under a perpetually on-edge employer, his battle against the evil Green Goblin, and his fight to win the affections of beautiful classmate Mary Jane Watson, against none other than his best friend Harry Osborn, son of Norman Osborn! Is this challenge too much for even the Amazing Spider-Man to handle? Written by Hammer2Fall

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE SPIDER-MAN FROM DVDTALK

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

So many classic shows and comic books have been made into truly mediocre movie franchises, it's refreshing to see one of the all time classic comic book superheros given the kind of treatment it deserves.

Spider-Man is as solid a Summer Superhero movie as you're going to find. It has the right mix of character development, action, drama and humor to make it much more than you're average action thrill ride.

One of the major problems I typically have with modern superhero movies is the fact that they often rush right through the 'discovery' phase of a super hero (the time where they discover and test their super powers). Maybe that's one reason I'm such a huge fan of Unbreakable (which is 100% discovery and almost no action). But in Spider-Man Sam Raimi finds a really great balance between the 'becoming' of Spider-Man and the 'being' Spider-Man. Just as he finds the perfect mix between Super hero action and the underlying story made up of the relationships between the characters.

Tobey Maguire is simply fantastic in the lead Peter Parker/Spider-Man role. He brings such a great level of complexity and emotion to the role, and it helps really flesh out Spider-Man from it's 2D cartoon life onto the big screen. Going in I had my concerns about Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin, that he would be overly 'cartoony' and generally over the top. But honestly I was impressed with Dafoe who brought a similar level of complexity to his character that Tobey Maguire did. And the relationship between the two really does server to drive the film forward.

There's no question in my mind that Kirsten Dunst is going to get a lot of attention for her role in Spider-Man. Raimi's camera seems to be as fond of her as Peter Parker is, and she manages to take that attention and really light up the screen. Kirsten Dunst has been in front of the cameras since before she was 8 and it shows. She seems like a natural playing Mary Jane and shows she's really arrived as a leading actress.

While I did thoroughly enjoy Spider-Man, I was slightly disappointed at some of the CGI effects which unfortunately are 'hit and miss' throughout the film. Columbia Tri-Star heald the release of Spider-Man which was slated to be released last year (after September 11th which I think was a very smart move). But I wish they had taken the extra time to work on some of the rooftop Spider-Man scenes. One scene in particular where Peter Parker jumps from roof top to roof top looks just plain bad, so obviously CGI it's jarring. Ultimately Spider-Man shows that effects really don't make the movie, and despite some of the poor effects Spider-Man is still a very solid film.

One thing that's important to note about Spider-Man is the fact that it is rated PG-13 and deservedly so. Raimi's vision of Spider-Man is a dark one, not as dark as Tim Burton's Batman, but dark none the less. There is a fair amount of intense violence and so if you've got a younger fan of Spider-Man you may want to substitute the recent Spider-Man - The Ultimate Villain Showdown DVD (a cartoon) for this live action version.

If you're looking for a great Summer Superhero movie Spider-Man's the movie for you. It's got all that you'd want from superhero movie and more. A truly enjoyable film.
