the best comic book movie ever, AND THEN SOME

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2002)

simply amazing. an instant classic. fires on all cylinders. not only are all the leading roles brilliant, even the little roles are amazing. randy savage is awesome as bonesaw, bruce campbell rules as the announcer and j.k. simmons is picture perfect as j. jonah jameson. uncle ben and aunt may look like they walked right out of the comic book. and i love the lucy lawless cameo. tobey maguire is so convincing, he should change his name to peter parker. tobey and willem dafoe play their roles with just enough humor to not come off as cheesy and still maintain the tone of comic book. and sam raimi couldn't have been a better choice, seeing his innovative camera work in the evil dead movie his camerawork is breathtaking along with the cgi in the shots of spidey swinging through the city. if you havent seen this in the past week, go plunk down the $8.50 and see it again this weekend.
