Having been a fan of the original Amazing Spider-Man comics for as long as I can remember, I felt the first film was incredible true to the originals, with the exception of Mary Jane, which felt like a fair enough plot convienence to me.

It is a comic book movie, how "deep" do you really need it to be? It is no more shallow than the source material. Also, it was made by someone who had a great respect for the source material (unlike the makers of most comic book movies), and that is really all I could ask for in a comic book movie. My feelings are that the first and second Spider-Man flicks are ideal comic book movies. If the prequels were half as good as Spidey 1 & 2, I would have been thrilled. But to each their own.

Just out of curiosity, what movies do you like?

And yes Mielr, B-movies were low budget. There was a misunderstanding on the part the OP, but it has since been cleared up.
