STORY

Spider-Man is the classic tale of our hero, Peter Parker, a nerd and science freak, who's in love with a girl that lives next door to him that he can't have and gets treated like a punk by basically everyone but his bud Harry. So he lives with his Aunt and Uncle (kinda old for an Aunt and Uncle but whatever) in New York and is a senior in high school. His science class goes on a field trip to some museum I guess that houses these genetically transformed "super spiders." Home boy gets bitten by one that gets out and it gives him his spider powers. And the story goes on.

He wants to buy a car so he goes and fights at this wrestling place, 5 grand for three minutes in the ring with the champ, and he pins the guy in 2. The owner of the place only gives him a hundred because of that (and also because he's an ass) and so or friend Peter is a little peeved. A guys rolls up in there and robs the man and Pete doesn't stop him. He's feelin' good about dissin' the jackass but when he gets outside, he finds out that the dude he let go killed his Uncle. Spidey chases the dude down and kills him, but remembers the final words his Uncle told him, "With great power comes great responsibility."

High school ends, MJ (Mary Jane) dumps her bf, and our main characters move into the city goin to school and workin' and shizzo (MJ's tryin' to be an actor). Harry and Pete have a pretty kickin' bachelor pad goin on. Anyway, Spidey's always goin' around savin' the day and ends up savin' MJ a couple times. She falls in love with the masked man and well I'll leave the rest to the imagination.

MY THOUGHTS

If you don't like Spider-Man, get the heck out my site. I'm not kiddin'. Go. Leave. Now. For my buds who stayed, I like you. Why? Because you like Spiderman and Spiderman just happens to be my all-time favorite movie. And if anyone actually did leave, first you're a moron and secondly what kind of pot smoker doesn't think Spiderman utterly rocks the house (they left, I can trash them now). Anyway as I stated before, this is my favorite movie and it comes with the highest recommendation. Rent it, buy it, whatever, just make sure you've seen Spiderman.
