Best film of the summer, so far

Rating: 8/10 (11 July 2004)

Now Roger Ebert gave this bad boy 4 stars and said it was the best superhero movie since the first Superman. I'm not sure if I would go that far because I have to say that so far my favorites are still the two X-men movies, but this is probably a close third. Anyway, Dr. Octavius is a much cooler villain than the Green Goblin and although the movie hints at a third villain that isn't Venom, the plot was written perfectly. Any fan of the comics knows the story and the movie follows it perfectly. Mary Jane's back to her usual good looks and calling Peter Parker "Tiger." Harry Osbourne is back to his hating of Spiderman but loving his best friend Peter Parker. Will he find out Spiderman's true identity? The coming attractions kinda gave that one away, but if you ever watched the cartoon or read the comic you'd know the answer anyway. Thus the hinting at the third villain. So without giving too much more away, let me just say that this movie lives up to its many reviews and it truly is a great movie. The best movie I've seen in the theaters this summer. So go see it.
