Move Over, Superman! Spidey is Here!

Rating: 8/10 (15 September 2002)

I loved the authentic New York City setting of Spiderman so appropriate after 9/11. Toby Mcguire did a outstanding job as Peter Parker.
The story builds slowly but inexorably as Peter slowly morphs into Spiderman. Peter lives with his elderly aunt and uncle. The uncle, played by Cliff Robertson tells Peter prophetically, "With great power comes great responsibility."
Small children might be scared of the Green Goblin, frighteningly played by William Defoe.
Very enjoyable movie.
