An experience.

Rating: Null/10 (23 June 2002)

No question about it Spider-Man is a very entertaining film. Credit must go to the casting of Tobey Maguire in the title role rather than a more established house hold name, who frankly wouldn't have been as good. There are unfortunately a few problems with the film which could so easily have been altered to make the film more enjoyable. Firstly, the Goblins voice was a joke, some of his sentences were reminiscent of the power rangers which isn't a very good thing. Also although this film has received much more acclaim that any of the Batman series, the similarities between the two are there for all to see. The musical score and title sequence particularly felt similar to Batman Forever. The love element was probably slightly over played as well, I'm certainly not averse to there being a romantical interest but does it really need to underpin the whole story; I'm not so sure. (Although without this, there would be no Kirsten Dunst and thats bad because she's beautiful).
The city swinging scenes and the fight scenes were the best and this made the film overall entertaining.
