I have to comment that a part from any other spider man related material I think that the Spider-Man movie was so well constructed and descibed with in itself that it could stand a lone even if the rest of the spider-man stuff had never existed. It was one of the few movies I have enjoyed for actually being a well planned and executed movie with in the last 4 years.
I hope the second spider-man does that first movie some good justice.
Of course, they have had years and years to hammer out the spider man story to where it is sensible (nearly) to all age groups, where the x-men....... is a lot harder to swallow. :-)
