Revealing mistakes: When Peter is climbing around his Aunt May's house, it's obvious he's climbing on a giant picture of the house, because in scenes where he climbs down poles, his hands don't grip them. moreFAQ

Superhero films are a mixed bag in my opinion. Most of the time we are treated to great superhero films such as Superman (1978), Batman (1989) and the X-Men (2000). Other times superhero films are not very good as was the case with the 1990 Captain America movie and Judge Dredd.
I'm please to say that the pilot for the Spider-Man TV series was really good. There is a great plot, a great villain and the superb Nicholas Hammond as Spider-Man. The late great David White (remember him as Larry Tate from Bewitched?) also made an excellent Jonah Jameson.
Most of you will be familiar with Spider-Man's origin. It differs a little bit here but it's still very convincing.
Just like the great Incredible Hulk TV movie from the late 70's Spider-Man did not disappoint and it set the ball rolling for the TV series that followed.
I hope the 2002 Spider-Man film is as good as this. No doubt that the special effects will be superior but let's hope it has a good plot too.
