Just got in back from taking the kiddos to see Spiderman and it was excellent! The kids loved it and there was no profanity or sexual innuendo in it.

Whew! I'm going to see it tomorrow with my 2 nieces and after reading the review I was worried that maybe it'd have stuff that wouldn't be good for the little kids to see. Nice to have that load off my head.
And Marvel has always been my favorite, as well. Batman and Superman were good, but DC didn't have much more than that, and had an immense amount of uninteresting characters in their universe. Stan Lee's creations, however, were great in their day and are still great. Spider-Man, the Hulk, the X-Men, etc. All great stuff. I'm ecstatic at all the great Marvel movies that have already come out and am looking forward to the ones yet to come. Spider-Man, X-Men 2, The Hulk, and Daredevil (with Jennifer Garner as Elektra. *drool*).
BTW: I've also heard that they may be making Ghost Rider, The Punisher, and several others which I can't recall at this moment. Thank God for The Punisher, at least. That Dolph Lundgren Punisher movie was godawfully bad. Which is stupid, as the Punisher is the EASIEST comic character to make. Just your standard action movie, except the character wears a skull symbol on his shirt and calls himself "The Punisher". And I used to collect Ghost Rider regularly, so I'm looking forward to that. I heard that Nicholas Cage is interested in the role, which is good news as he's a fan (He even owns some actual Ghost Rider bikes). I just about gagged when I heard he might play Superman, but Ghost Rider is an entirely different story, and I think he'd make a great Ghost Rider.
