Spiderman-parody from the Philippines, 5 July 2004
6/10
Author: haimoff from Zürich - Switzerland

I had a chance to view this film during the NIFFF 2004 (Neuchatel International Fantasy Film Festival)in Switzerland. This is director Erik Matti's second film and was rather a flop in his country, as it was considered a children film. In Europe a far more mature public is discovering this very amusing low-budget parody. During the festival this film was always sold out and everybody love it ! It's the story of Junie an ice-cream salesman, who swallows a spider and transforms into Gagamboy (what means "Spiderboy"). He has to defend the good and fight against evil (Cockroachman) and tries to gain the heart of lovely Liana. The budget was very low, but compensated with lots of humor and very ironic playing actors. The film takes itself never serious and under this point of view makes a lot of fun. Not like so many US-productions of Marvel-comics this movie has something very important: soul ! 4 out of 5 *
