I've never been too interested in superheroes. I was mildly keen on the first couple of Batman-films, mainly because of the gorgeous art direction. I have an awareness of the existence of certain comic books/films/etc. Other than that, I've never really been into these things. Three films have now caught my eye:
Spiderman
Spiderman 2
The Invincibles

To start with the latter: just try to catch the trailer, will you?!

As for Spiderman...
He shoots!
He swings!
He packs a punch!
He is a nerd who is also a hero, the underdog as topdog, the meek inheriting the earth.
I AM SPIDERMAN!!!
Doc Ock is a splendid villain, chemistry between leads sizzles and flying through a city never looked lovelier. Is the first better than the second? The films better than the comic books?
Oh, who cares, when it's all just this much fun!


In celebration of my Spidey-obsession, I give you the quiz:
