This game is simple. I'm going to post a movie and the next person rates the movie on a scale of 1-10 and gives details for their rating. Then, they may post the next movie. Please don't post if you haven't seen the previous entry. Ok, here we go.

**** out of a possible 5 *'s
The good: This is one of those rare superhero movies that is actually done seriously. While very much a genre film, it does not fall prey to most of the genre stereotypes, and can be enjoyed by both old skool fans and people who've never read the comic in their life. The character relationships between Peter Parker and almost everyone else in the movie are excellent, so that as the film goes on, there is lots of development, allowing the audience to really get invested in the piece.
The bad: As well done as the hero and his friends are, the villain is almost equally cheesey. Doc Oc is probably one of the coolest bad guys Spidey ever goes up against, but his portrayal in the movie is so cardboard, and so corny, that it ruins that sense of realism the rest of the movie works so hard to build up. The actor who plays the bad doctor seems quite up to the task; it appears that he just might not have been given much to work with.
Next up: The Bourne Supremacy
