Spider-Man

CriticsCritics: 82
AudienceAudience: 7.4

A shy high school student gains extraordinary abilities after a genetically altered spider bites him. As he learns what it means to use his powers, he balances personal feelings, family responsibilities, and the demands of becoming a masked hero.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like heartfelt superhero origins, comic-book energy, memorable villains, and nostalgic action; Not for you if dated effects, broad humor, or cheesy romance quickly become distracting.
