Even the action sequences – which look thrilling and cutting-edge in the movie trailers – have eaten a large helping of ho-hum pie. - Ryan Cracknell

A wonderful surprise – a superhero action movie almost everyone can enjoy. - Brian Webster

In Sam Raimi’s exuberant adaptation, which retains the integrity of the original Marvel comic book, we are offered a resonant portrait of teenage angst. - Dan Jardine

A cultural theoretical landfill that offers inspiration and entertainment in wonderful ways, but not without considerable failings. - Jon Lap
