Great film! A must see for fan's of the Spider-Man franchise!

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2007)

I loved this movie! First off, I love movie's based on true stories, I love horses, and Tobey Maguire is one heck of an actor! To be honest, I've only seen him in the Spider-Man films and heard him in the Spider-Man games. He is Peter Parker and Spider-Man, and can't be replaced. The music was wonderful. The acting was unbelievably good. The story made a lot of sense. I only missed the first eighteen minutes of the film though. Oh well, it was still a great film. Reading about it on Focus On The Family, what kept it out of the winners circle was the use of God's name so many times. That crushed my spirit because I like Tobey, even though most of his films, (not including the Spider-Man films, and Seabiscuit) happen to be rated R. But, they showed it on FOX, and cleaned it up really well. Overall great movie. Spoiler: One actress in the film is Elizabeth Banks who coincedently played Betty Brant in the Spider-Man films along with Tobey. I though that was a real treat, especially considering Spidey 3 will be out this year. Tobey is hysterical and an absolute delight, he stole the show!
