Neil Welch This bloke gets bitten by a spider containing a super-serum and becomes a hero. Then he metamorphoses and becomes a villain.This cheap and not-very-cheerful movie takes Spider-man's origin and nails The Fly's ending onto it. The cast has, in supporting roles, some very recognisable names: however, they are either past their sell-by date (Dan Aykroyd, Teresa Russell), or else they are in the "before they were famous" category (John Cho). The principals are completely unknown unless you are familiar with US soaps, which I'm not.This film passes the time. It isn't very good, but it's not dreadful either.

Michael_Elliott Earth vs. The Spider (2001) 1/2 (out of 4) Remake of the 1958 cult classic doesn't have too much in common with the original film outside of the title. A wimpy, comic book reading guy gets injected with some sort of chemical, which soon has him turning into a mean spider. Dan Aykroyd plays the Detective trying to solve all the murders. This is a really horrible film even when judged on its own because there isn't an inch of talent to be seen anywhere in the film. The story is downright stupid and it's clear this is just some masturbation fantasy from a comic book lover who has never had a girlfriend. The performances are all very weak and that includes Aykroyd who falls flat on his face during all of his scenes. The special effects are just as bad as is everything else here. Several of those Arkoff films from the 50's were remade in the 90s and 00s but I hope none of the rest are as bad as this turkey.

pikabot Me and my friend rented this movie in hopes that it would provide an hour's entertainment. And from the premise, this movie could have been good. Emphasis on could have been.Basic premise: Comic-book geek, working as a night-shift security guard at some sort of biotech lab sees his partner gunned down in front of him and impulsively injects himself with super-spider juice. he comes down with a fever, and when he recovers, he's got superpowers! yay, right? Wrong. his transformation into a spider continues progressing, and his behavior becomes more and more bestial. he considers himself a threat to everyone around him, and eventually winds up killing people. I don't know how it ended because I turned it off about 3/4 of the way into it.Frankly, it's amazing we lasted that long. We survived mostly by making fun of it relentlessly, but is really not much fun with this film as it lacks the outright ridiculousness of similarly poor movies such as Boa Vs. Python.The camera-work is poor, the acting is terrible, and the plot such a clichéd mess that even the old Captain America cartoons have trouble competing in terms of sheer lameness.if MST3K were still around, I'm sure they could make this comedic genius. Me, I just don't have the patience to sit through it.
