Growing up with Spiderman has given me a lot of background for the stories presented by the Spiderman series. And considering all the comic books movies that have been released in the last years I will say that this adaptation is the best in my opinion. The story didn't stay exactly the same, but that can be understood, they've taken 30 years of comic storyline and compressed it into some of the best.

I won't continue babbling, it all sounds tripe after seeing the other 200 comments posted here. Just wanted to say that I liked it for what it is, a comic book turned into a good movie, it's not LotR, it's not a pretty Disney film filled with happy animals, it's a page from our childhood turned into another medium for us to enjoy.
