On
paper Spiderman seems like he'd be one of the easiest comic book
characters to make a film of. A high school student bitten by a
radioactive spider gets super powers and uses the to fight crime
after the death of his Uncle Ben while keeping it secret from his
Aunt May. To me the most difficult part would be the actual look of
them swinging on a web through the city special effects wise. And I
am not including the mad for TV version from 1977 where he had salad
strainers over his eyes sometimes and mirrors others then shot two
inch thick ropes at folks.
The
third film version of Spiderman recently appeared in the new Captain America: Civil War film which means that I can now judge which of the
three is the best one. I am going to start a new system introducing a
Defining Moment for the character in the movie that either made or
broke them.
