I see it as a rudementary introduction for what is sure to become a franchise marque.As I said, I'm not up on Spiderman, but I thought the first third of the movie did an interesting job of painting a picture of Peter Parker as a high schooler. I got a good sense of who he was and what his family life was like. We saw Mary Jane develop and as I understand it, she plays a major role in Spidey's life up until a point. Granted, only 35-45 minutes worth, but it rendered a valid picture for me.
I thought that there was good interplay in the middle with Harry (?), Peter, MJ and Auntie, along with Dr. Osbourne and the newpaper editor was funny. This lead up to a battle that didn't surprise anyone, but it's a good vs. evil thing and it is what it is. At the end, he can't come to grips with his feelings and letting them be known to MJ. Obviously, there will be Spidey II coming the year after next, so the story moves on.
Take care, Chris
