I think for all the people knocking the Raimi movies  need to remember that before  his spiderman in 2002 superhero movies were either the laughing stock of hollywood (from batman and robin) or just meh (like the first X-men movie) . Those spiderman movies are why superhero gets so much of hype these days from there on we got spiderman 2, TDK, Ironman, Avengers and so on. This movie would be considered good to me pre spiderman in 2002.

You know Spider-Man did not start the Superhero movie hype, it was X-Men in 2000. Actually it was Blade 1998 but most people did not even know that Blade was a Marvel Superhero. After that came Spider-Man which was the first huge Superhero success with braking several records and earning a lot money. But without the first X-Men movie Spider-Man would never have become that huge, at least the first one would not.


Um no Spider-Man would have been huge with or without the X-Men movies, don't know what you're talking about. Spider-Man is like Batman and Superman - he will be huge no matter what (as long as the movie is good).

But yes the first X-Men movie was the start of the comic book craze, I can agree with that... it's just as I said Spider-Man is on a different level than X-Men.
