Movies: Spider-Man
The following is a movie I've watched and reviewed. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not selling DVDs. This is not a list of movies that tell you "the truth about UFOs". Simply said, I like movies. Each review is as simple and non technical as possible.

Description: Peter Parker is a shy, quite nerdy teenager that everybody at school just considers goofy and funny. His love since childhood for M.J. remains in this terms: undeclared, hopeless. One day, the school organizes a visit to a lab in which spiders are investigated and researched: one genetically modified spider has escaped from its box and bites Peter. The morning after, he discovers the changes of his body. Now with the heightened senses and incredible strengths and abilities of a spider, Parker has become the amazing Spider-Man.
Wow, what a good movie! Everything in Spider-Man just works. Visual effects are astounding, you get the impression to fly from tower to skycraper along with Spider-Man. Acting is convincing too. The story is well done, establishing Peter Parker as a common boy who struggles to reach the end of the month, to work and to study at the same time. His powers have, after all, made his life more difficult. He cannot reveal his secret identity and, furthermore, he has to stop his best friend's father who went mad.
We find a very human Marvel hero, funny, honest, still shy. To complicate things, the relationship with M.J. adds anger against Spider-Man and something against Peter as well.
Spider-Man is one of the best "Marvel movie" so far!
