I happened to find that the plot for this volume worked pretty well. I disagree with some reviews that say it was unoriginal, because I believe quite the opposite. The movie ties in some real life people like Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire, but it doesn't avert us from the comic. I still felt in the same New York, even though real-life people were introduced.
Bendis continues to be one of my favorite writers, because he can any plot in the world interesting and dramatic. Doc Ock had his third appearance in this book, but I really found new sides of the character. I didn't just see the same old mechanical legs again. We also felt that he was more menacing and dangerous during his latest visit. I was a little scared for Spidey.
All of this along with the shocking secret at the end makes this series totally solid from vol.1-vol.10. I am very happy with the direction Bendis has taken this. And I plan to buy more volumes after this first time. I would say we came a long way, but really Bendis has taken me a long way. And I have enjoyed the whole ride thus far.

There is a lot of tongue-in-cheek between Ultimate Spider-Man and Tobey MacGuire Spider-Man. Ox gets a part in the movie. But the main fight is between Spidey and Doc Ock.

I just finished this last night. I've been reading the whole series of Ultimate Spider-Man trades and I was amazed at how good this one was. Honestly, this is a very good series. But everything comes to a boil in this book. Bagley's art takes a big jump forward here. Not that there was anything wrong with his art in the previous books, but his work here is downright cinematic. And it's not just the big battles with Doctor Octopus or the movie being made about Spider-Man without his consent. Those are thrilling. The real joy in this book is the way Bendis and Bagley handle Peter Parker's home life. In the Ultimate Universe, Aunt May Parker is a smart, dynamic and compassionate woman. She's so much better than regular-Marvel Aunt May! The warmth she shows to a young orphaned girl is epically beautiful. Scenes with three teenagers hanging out and talking become dynamic and exciting in the hands of Misters Bagley and Bendis. Talking should not be exciting in comics. This book breaks the rules.
I highly recommend this book. Start with the first volume and watch these character grow and blossom.
I just hope volume 11 and beyond are this good!

This is easily the lamest of these trades so far. In the comic, they are making a Spider-Man movie. Just a pathetic plot, pretty much. So, he isn't happy, neither is Dr Octopus, whose wife has sold rights to her story to the producers.
He breaks out, wants to get even, ends up fighting Spider-Man in a plane to Brazil.
Gwen Stacy finds out who he is by breaking into stuff in his room. The rest is rubbish.

ultimate spider-man by bendis and bagley is one of the best series out there. not as much action and non-stop bad guy fighting, but a good mix of that and a lot of peter parker being a teenager with problems (girls, bullies, being grounded, etc.) along with his spidey life.
the series is great great great. only a few minor things that could be better:
1. i don't like how nick fury comes in and tells spider-man he's going to work his whole life for him and shield. the idea of peter being...trapped in a web? haha...well it isn't too cool. superheroes need to fight the good fight because they want to, not because shield will go and take away their superpowers (as fury has threatened) if they don't comply. plus the issues where the ultimates come in aren't that great, the whole series gets hijacked by them and not a lot of spidey. imo, the ultimates are easily the worst part of the ultimate universe. beyond ultimate spider-man and the ultimate fantastic four the ultimate universe isn't too great.
2. bendis needs to cut down on the tuchas talk. seriously if parker grew up in nyc today he'd more likely speak spanglish than yanglish.
