This is Axel Braun's sequel to "Avengers XXX", subtitled "Along came a spider". It deals with Spider-Man turning bad after he dons a black symbiote costume.
This is the first time I have to criticise Axel Braun's super hero films. Until now he's always lovingly crafted his films to be true to the comic book sources, in both the costumes and the stories. This time he's made up his own ideas. The symbiotic costume isn't an alien life form in the film, it's a weapon developed by Hydra. Tut tut, Axel. Even "Spider-Man 3" keeps close to the comic books in this matter.
In all other regards I have to praise the film. Xander Corvus is the perfect actor to play Spider-Man, even better than Tobey Maguire. Xander has a nerdy high pitched voice, and he keeps up the banter while he's facing enemies. It's obvious that Axel is a comic book fan from his attention to detail.
