The review contains some minor spoilers.
I should start by saying that I'm a huge fan of the first two 'Spider-Man' movies. I should also add that I've been a big fan of Sam Raimi's ever since I saw "Evil Dead" at the Roseville Theater the first summer...
"Spider-Man3 is the third Spidey DS game from Vicarious Visions (last year's Spider-Man: Battle for New York was a Torus production), and the team went all-out with a 100% stylus controlled action game. It's a drastic move that might seem a little too ou...
"Spider Man: The High Definition Trilogy is a mixed blessing. It's fantastic that we've got the entire Spider-Man series in 1080p high definition, but the first movie has terrible picture and subpar sound, and neither of the first two films have any extra...
In case you work on Saturday mornings, don’t watch the CW or don’t have kids you might not have known that Spider-Man has returned, in the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon. Sony has released a full length animated adventure called Spectacular Sp...
Note: This review is entirely free of major spoilers, though some very minor story details may be mentioned.
It seemed nearly impossible that Sam Raimi would be able to outdo the first Spider-Man film, a summer blockbuster that outdid every other mov...
"'Spider-Man 2' is not only a brilliant sequel, but an outstanding film in its own right. Whether you're into action, drama, thrills, sci-fi, comedy, or romance, 'Spider-Man 2' is certain to please."
It was never going to get an "A" from me. I'm way too close to it. I have too much emotional investment in the character from my childhood to be completely won over by anything they could have put on screen, not with the compromises that would inevitably ...
"All told, 'Spider-Man 2' is much more than a product tie-in, 'Grand Theft Auto' clone or virtual tour of New York. It's a well-made action game that accomplishes its crucial mission: It makes one look forward to 'Spider-Man3' in 2007. Heck, you may even...
"The Spider-Man franchise had all the potential in the world to become that great trilogy: with Sam Raimi at the helm the first two films triumphed at the box office and, more importantly, were crackers. So it's a shame to report that, while Spider-Man3 ...
"Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock's simplistic gameplay is a double-edged sword. It manages to offer a more immediately playable experience, but it's over too soon, and it doesn't offer enough to warrant extended play."
"'Spider-Man 2' does what any good sequel should do. It takes the elements that were good in the first film and spins them in new and surprising ways."
Not only is 'Spider-Man' one of the coolest superheroes out there, but he's clearly the one comic book character that gets the best videogames. His unique superhuman abilities, most notably his wall crawling and web swinging capabilities, tailor extremely...
Sitting on a United Airlines flight on the way back from an Activision event, I'm watching/listening to the new Dashboard Confessional music video, Vidnicated, the big song to come out of the new feature film, SPIDER-MAN 2. The event in San Francisco gave...
Overall, it's the best Spider-Man: The Animated Series DVD release to date, even if the selection of extras is frustrating. "The Venom Saga" should be a thoroughly entertaining release for fans of the web-slinger.
"One of the catchphrases of the SPIDER-MAN universe is 'With great power comes great responsibility.' The financial success of the first film gave Raimi and Co. great power - here they use it to fulfill their responsibilities to both their material and th...
Writes THR film critic Kirk Honeycutt, 'Spider-Man 2' is poised to "climb into the boxoffice stratosphere" thanks to the return of actors Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, and director Sam Raimi, who deliver a sequel with "the beat of the human heart" amid...
"As a character-driven action film, 'Spider-Man 2' rates right up there with the likes of 'Die Hard' and 'Aliens' and the 'Terminator' movies and 'The Empire Strikes Back.' I can't wait to see it again, it will be the biggest movie of the year, and I thin...
"A great villain can make a significant difference in a comic-book franchise. The first 'Spider-Man,' for all its charm and romance, didn't have one. The sequel does."
"More is more — and we're not talking about Michael Moore, for once — with 'Spider-Man 2.' The web-slinging sequences are bigger-better-brighter-faster than the already spectacular ones in 2002's 'Spider-Man,' and at the same time, the film's smaller emot...
Reviewing the entire series, while an interesting concept, "Spider-Man Unlimited" would fall short do to the mixed quality of both the execution of the series and animation. There is some good stuff in there, and we should probably just forget about the c...
"Writers Sam Raimi, Ivan Raimi and Alvin Sargent as well as the entire cast and crew deserve all the respect and admiration they're sure to receive for 'Spider-Man3,' as it is easily the most complex and deftly orchestrated superhero epic ever filmed."
With special effects so convincing you don't even think about them, a head-case hero and a three-dimensional villain who is his equal, socko Spider-Man 2 (* * * * out of four) has something for everyone.
Video game publisher Activision announced today that the company has shipped more than two million units of its latest console and computer game, SPIDER-MAN 2, to retail stores nationwide. It's a staggering number considering that the game just went on sa...
The three main recurring characters get stuck in a rut and the same can be said of the film itself in "Spider-Man3." After the significant improvement of the second installment over the first, new entry reps a roughly equivalent dip in quality and enjoym...
"Elitist Wii owners who refuse to buy any games not developed specifically for Nintendo's console are, with Spider-Man3, forced to confront a new dilemma. This effort was created by Vicarious Visions (Marvel: Ultimate Alliance) with the Wii in mind and t...
"Watching the hotly anticipated sequel 'Spider-Man 2' feels like deja vu, not for the 2002 screen adaptation of the popular Marvel Comics superhero, but for the sequel to 1978's high-flying 'Superman.' Not bad source material to swipe from, since many dec...
