Excellent movie

Rating: Null/10 (7 July 2004)

I guess I've noticed some longtime comic fans ripping on this movie, saying it didn't follow the comics close enough. Very true, for the most part.
I just don't see the sense in following the comics that closely myself. I think what they have done with the first, and now the second, are stunning. I've been a Spidey fan since the first time I picked up an early issue of Amazing Spider Man. I watched a wimpy Peter Parker grow into one tough super hero, go through his trials in life, about give up on being Spider Man, fall in love with Gwen Stacy, only to have her die at the hands of the Green Goblin. And his romance with M.J. I'm kind of curious on who they are planning for the third movie, with several references, such as The Lizard, Harry as the Green Goblin, Mysterio,(mentioned by J.J. Jameson) among others. Guess we will have to wait and see.
I think Tobey plays an excellent Peter Parker, and Kirsten plays an excellent M.J. I am content with what they have given us, I will take it without a complaint. Excellent job done by all. Keep up the fantastic work.
