Spider-Man

In this day and age, fan films are everywhere, and exists for many franchises. This is one of them, but because it is so old, and more importantly, because it's the first live action version of Spider-Man, it has gotten some attention.

Do not mistake this for anything more than it is, though. The editing, the effects (including some spastic stop motion), the acting, the voice over, the locations, etc. all have a distinct air of home made fan movies. Obviously this was a much bigger achievement in 1969, due to the technical limits (especially for home productions) - and it is admittedly a bit fun to see how Glut solved some SFX problems. But other than that, this movie hare little to offer. Being 11 minutes, it's a fun novelty for fans of film making, spider-man fans, and fans of live action super hero movies' early beginnings.

The first live-action Spider-Man movie! And this movie is amazing, the Steve Ditko era costume makes you feel good.) of course the movie looks dated, but it is so charming and inventive in terms of effects, that's why I like this TV series with Nicholas Hammond or fan-films - Dan Poole's , because in those days not it was CGI, they put their soul and potential with stuntmen, doing life-threatening stunts like stuntman Fred Waugh did in the TV Series, or they used practical effects, they have soul.

Out of the minus! I can point out that they didn't have to come up with an original villain, Dr. Lightning looks a lot like Doctor Doom! Literally looks like it! And his daughter could be Mary Jane, it's really strange to see two comic book characters being turned into a weird analog, father and daughter!
