Spider-Man (Full Screen Special
Edition)
Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Based on
Marvel Comics superhero character, this is a story of Peter
Parker who is a nerdy high school kid. He was orphaned as a
child, bullied by jocks, and cannot 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 is not going to
last. An eccentric millionaire Norman Osborn administers a
performance enhancing drug on himself and his 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.
Amazon.com:
For devoted fans and
nonfans alike, Spider-Man offers nothing less--and
nothing more--than what you'd expect from a superhero
blockbuster. Having proven his comic-book savvy with the
original Darkman, director Sam Raimi brings ample
energy and enthusiasm to Spidey's origin story, nicely
establishing high-school nebbish Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire)
as a brainy outcast who reacts with appropriate euphoria--and
well-tempered maturity--when a "super-spider" bite transforms
him into the amazingly agile, web-shooting Spider-Man. That's
all well and good, and so is Kirsten Dunst as Parker's
girl-next-door sweetheart. Where Spider-Man falls short
is in its hyperactive CGI action sequences, which play like a
video game instead of the gravity-defying exploits of a
flesh-and-blood superhero. Willem Dafoe is perfectly cast as
Spidey's schizoid nemesis, the Green Goblin, and the movie's a
lot of fun overall. It's no match for Superman and
Batman in bringing a beloved character to the screen,
but it places a respectable third. --Jeff
