    Thought I'd re-watch this childhood classic, and honestly not bad.

    Like don't get me wrong the film is quite old and it's noticeable at times with some of the cg, action and general cinematography, but otherwise it's really well done. Very good for what they achieved in 2002.

    It's a nice story and origin of Spiderman. I think a near perfect balance of seeing peter parker and Spiderman, good character development, a really great casting and good enough acting performances,…

    Okay, so yeah this isn't a great film, BUT I don't think it was terrible either. This is without a doubt a setup film for the new franchise that we're getting, you've got to remember that with this film, and I don't think it was terrible.

    Everything about this film is superb.
    The story, the cinematography, the casting, and the characters, all incredible, and let's not forget the style of this film is so unique I've never seen anything quite like it before.
    Wes Anderson truely is a genius and this film perfectly summerises him to a tee. This film only deserves 5/5 because everything about it is perfectly executed, I can't fault anything, simply an amazing film.

    Its uniqueness, cinematography style, scripting, and design is flawless. The pacing is perfect, the slight cheesyness is devine, and comedic presence is a luxery. Beautiful film.

    Don't get me wrong, it's a good film but for it's length, the build up and ending it drops to a 3.5/5. A lot of people love this film, and I totally get why because the character building and interactions are standout features, but it's just not my cup of tea entirely.

    I think it drags a bit for how long the film is, it could easily get boring for someone considering it's a bit of a repetitive narrative and…
