The opinion of a critic and a fan

Rating: 7/10 (5 July 2004)

The fan says,
Very good CGI, It isn't the Matrix or LOTR but still worth watching. Octavious is quite an interesting fellow, the green goblin added a certain comic charm not seen entirely in Octavious but he certainly is worth being the spider's nemesis. The choreography was excellent to say the least. The movie is certainly worth a watch.
The critic says,
Below average acting but then again, thats not what comic-book movies are famous for. A rather weak script with many loose ends. Too many tears, a super-hero movie isn't supposed to be so emotional or at least thats what the general stereotype portrays. Could do with some more characters and situations besides Octavious, MJ, Harry and aunt May to add a bit of variation from the monotony. Could definitely use a better storyline with more interesting twists and turns. There are no memorable scenes really besides the train sequence.
Overall, I would say it is entertaining. You really don't ever want to look at the time during the show. A ****7*** at least. \
Enjoy the show..!
