Brilliant!!!

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2002)

There is no other word to describe the feeling you get after watching this movie. This movie was truly a labor of love for Sam Raimi and his whole crew. Tobey Maguire was an excellent Peter Parker, and a very fine Spider-Man. I never thought much of him when he was cast, but now I am eating my words. Willem Dafoe was very convincing as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, he was really scary in a surreal sort of way. Kirsten Dunst was a good choice for MJ too. JK Simmons was absolutely brilliant as J. Jonah Jameson, never laughed that hard in a while. Bruce Campbell as ring announcer at the wrestling match was great too. James Franco was good as Harry, also. Some scenes looked CGI really bad as opposed to others, but other than that, a fine film.
