Spider-man is not a sissy like he was in the film spider-man 2, he generally is vicious and kicks some serious ass.
Its all that dark angst without the venom symbiote, reminds you of black venom spide-man from spider-man 3
two of the modern trilogy's that were decent but not great were the comics movie series spider-man and x-men.
both the 3rd film in the x-men franchise and spider-man series were not as good as the first two films.
some of the greatest comic book movies ever are the crow, the first batman and batman begins, as well as the first superman movie. falling just slighly below them are spider man 1 and 2 and x-men 1 and 2.
i also liked the original noirish batman the animated series, and the animated movie mask of the phantasm.
I'm not really a fan of batman beyond but mark hamill's voice acting is nothing short of brilliant in return of the joker.
