A fabulous team creates Marvel Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2002)

What director can mix the magical perfection of Spiderman with the tragic struggle of Peter Parker with such grace? Only Sam Raimi, the man behind classics such as "The Evil Dead" "The Quick and the Dead" and "A Simple Plan". There are some beautiful moments in this movie that do not come from special effects, but rather from some superb acting and brilliant Cinematography. With wonderful casting all around the table, this team of creators took no shortcuts. They grabbed such gems as Willem Dafoe, Rosemary Harris, and Cliff Robertson (Who have all done there time at the Academy...back when it was good that is). Once again, Tobey Maguire delivers an incredible performance("The Ice Storm" and "Wonderboys"). He ties spider-man and Peter Parker into one well developed package for the audience to enjoy. Overall, give this team a round of applause for breathing life into this arachnid, who brings back some of that grace under pressure.
