Finally...a HUMAN superhero!

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2004)

After leaving the movie theater, I said to my husband, "This is the best superhero movie I've ever seen," and I meant it! I could FEEL Peter Parker's anguish about leading a double life. Some scenes, I think, were pure genius in relaying the emotions of the characters involved (SPOILER ALERT).... like, when Peter told M.J. he was Superman over the disconnected telephone, or when M.J. kisses her fiancee "upside-down," and you KNOW what and who she's really thinking about. And, of course, when he decides to not be Spiderman anymore, he does so by telling his Uncle in his daydream.
Then, there are the funny moments (much more prevalent than the first Spiderman)....like when Peter Parker webs the slice of pizza out of a guy's mouth, and when he can't get all the brooms back into the broom closet, and, of coarse, the GREAT scene after he decides not to be Spiderman and the Soundtrack is playing the classic song: "Raindrops keep falling on my head..." and then he trips!!! (hilarious!) I could go on and on (especially about the publisher's character fretting over the cost of his son's wedding....and the price of the caviar!!)
I could go on and on and on....
The very best part, of course, is the end. A movie with a good ending is always worthwhile. But, this movie, had a GREAT ending....what more could be said?
