THIS... IS... MY... CHILDHOOD!

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2018)

In 2002, Spider-Man came swinging to life as one of the best movies Hollywood ever made. Easily one of the top 10 origins stories ever written, and Tobey Maguire dons the costume with pure-adrenaline excitement.
The movie gradually builds his story arc, from him being an ordinary, shy teenager - to the webslinger that New York City knows him by. It then revolutionises the birth of his first ever nemesis: Norman Osborn a.k.a. The Green Goblin, played by the talented Willem Dafoe with a fantastic entrance a villain can ever provide. The love interest Mary Jane Watson, played by Kirsten Dunst, delivers a sensational relationship with the "vigilante", and James Franco plays his best friend, the son of the Goblin: Harry Osborn.
The movie exceptionally shifts in tone, with personal losses with his Uncle Ben's death played by Cliff Robertson, and his relationship with his Aunt May, played by Rosemary Harris, all played in a mother/father figure.
The movie definitely takes you on a "spin", and is congratulated by reviews: Rotten Tomatoes - 89% rating. It would be a crime to miss this movie, watch out for the city skyscraper's for Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man!
