Great movie, with one problem

Rating: 7/10 (14 August 2005)

This is a great movie series. As an avid reader of the Spiderman comic book titles, I really appreciate the way the movie parallels the comic's mythology.
My only problem with the movie is the casting of Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson. I'm sure she's an excellent actress, and I'm not too disappointed in performances in the Spiderman series.
However, Mary Jane Watson first gained her fame (in the comic) as a model, and I believe the term "supermodel" was even used in a few issues. Kirsten Dunst is an attractive girl, but make no mistake, she's no model.
In short, Mary Jane Watson is a hottie, Kirsten Dunst isn't.
I know it's a small complaint against an excellent movie, but it had to be said.
