We have come to an age in movies where there are a lot of heroes with superpowers . Strength beyond human, speed beyond belief, intelligence beyond the smartest that's just a few powers that can be seen in todays superhero movies.

When it comes to movies where heroes doesn't have superpowers, we can see people like James Bond. There is nothing really wrong with good old James Bond, but the movies monotone, and sometimes predictable and boring. We have a guy who is intelligent and good-looking as well as being strong. But only in the human-fashion. It might be a little more realistic, but it can be boring.

Man has always been dreaming of being more than human. We dream of flying, of being able to breath under water going to outer space without a suit or being able to beat the crap out of whole army's. Sad to say, that isn't really realistic. But we can always dream. And we can always thank the comic-, film-, and literature industry for helping us reading and watching stories about, sometimes, ordinary people becoming strong and loved. In this case, about Spider-man! when I was a kid I didn't know much about Marvel Comics. Accept for three special characters: The incredible Hulk, Nightcrawler (The X-men, but Nightcrawler was my favorite so I only remember him in my childhood) and of course Spider-man.

The only thing I remember about spider-man, in my childhood, was the character and the great change of Peter Parker. He was an ordinary kid, bullied, he had glasses and wasn't popular. One day he go bitten by a spider and transformed shortly to the loved Spider-man. The thing I liked mostly about him was the fact that I wanted to be him. A little nerd, transformed to a super-hero with strength beyond imagination. I was bullied as a child and I always wanted to be stronger than the guys who bullied me. But thanks to my love of escapism, I could travel to Marvel universe and become Spider-man. The once a push-over becoming a strong hero.

The first film was very good, it gave you many things: action, humor, romance and psychological traumas. Peter Parker became Spider-man and had to struggle with having go to school, have a part-time job, help taking care of his aunt, and saving the day for the people of New York. I can relate to that because I have to balance my job, my friends, my work in a political group, and my hobby which is movies and music.

The second movie came as a chock! It is rare that a sequel is really good, especially in a comic book-movie genre. Spider-man 2 gave me many things that the first one did; action, humor, romance and the great choice; be a hero or not be a hero. Spider-man 2 i a great movie that gives you all that an much more.

There a few really good comic book movies. There are some good, many bad but very few really good ones. Spider-man, X-men, X-men 2, V for vendetta are some of the few really good ones. And now adding to the list is Spider-man 2. Even people who hasn't read Spider-man comics will love the movies. And that is a good thing!
