One of my favorite movies

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2002)

From the first time I heard they were making a Spider-Man movie, I couldn't wait to see it. May 3 couldn't come soon enough. I was worried when first heard that Tobey Maquire was Peter Parker/Spider-Man. I couldn't see him as an comic book hero. When i saw the movie, my opinion changed completely. He was the best cast as Parker. At times though I thought he was a little under what I was expecting for Spider-Man, but I think he did very well. And then there is the fact of the special effects. Great, but in a few spots, it is so obvious when things change from real-life to CGI especially toward the beginning. Towards the end, though, I had stopped noticing and was completely into the movie. Now that I've seen it once, I NEED to go see it again. I also can't wait for the next 2 in the coming years.
