Format:DVD
The Peter Parker we find in this film is grittier, more real than one in Sam Raimi's previous trilogy. He's kind of a spaz and he looks it. The kind of guy you could easily imagine geeking out with all his geeky friends, playing World of Warcraft between hits on a bong. Not that there's anything like that in this movie (where's Harry Osborn when you need him?), but you get the idea. It's this more "real" take on Peter Parker, not quite so perky and preppy as Toby McGuire's version, that's the thing I liked most about this movie.
Other than that, there's not a huge amount to say. Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy is cute but utterly unremarkable, and so too for most of the other performances. Sally Field injects more than we are used to seeing into Aunt May, but that's about it. I'm not entirely sure that Martin Sheen was even trying. For long time spider fans, or even just those who've watched a handful of superhero summer blockbusters, this isn't a film with too many surprises. Or even, dare I say it, any surprises. It's an entertaining extravaganza, but it's not the kind of thing that very many people over the age of 15 will feel the need to see more than once. You may want to bear that in mind when making the decision whether to rent or buy.
It is worth noting that this film is clearly designed to set up a sequel, and more than likely a trilogy. There are questions raised and themes presaged that are then just left hanging within the scope of this individual movie.
The only thing I would say actively went wrong in this film was its attempt to have Spider-Man spout the kind of witty banter he uses when fighting his comic book battles. You may be able to get away with that kind of thing on the printed page.... Read more ›

Everyone does their job but it just doesn't offer anything new or particularly exciting. There's nothing wrong with the movie at all, there's plenty of action, the acting is fine, the effects are passable but bereft of spectacle, to me it just lacks the lustre of the previous incarnation. A bit like watching a comedian do his act twice.

Best film I've seen in a while. Not quite a remake of the original Spiderman film, but it's close. Well worth watching!

My daughter loved the movie and has already watched it three times. This is why for some films it is still worth buying the DVD and this is probably one of them!

After watching thee Toby Maguire trilogy I can safely say Spider-man is now in safe hands. I look forward to seeing Spidey appear in other Marvel films as it has been brought back into the fold.

A great "reboot" or remake for us older folks.
Thankfully the director (called Webb by the way) resisted the any temptation to trash the original concept or go in so different... Read more

For once a decent remake!
As this is a Spider-Man remake, a lot of the plot lines are similar but not so similar that the film is a complete copy. Read more
