Hands down the best comic book hero made into a movie of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2002)

Spiderman pulls you in and keeps you there and if you don't believe me you can ask my wife who is insisting we go see it again.
I was unable to put my finger on what it is about this movie that makes it so much better than other comic book movies to hit the big screen. I guess it comes down to the characters believability.
Peter Parker as a young kid about to graduate highschool gets bitten by the genetically created spider that makes him spiderman. We get to see what any real teenager would do when he finds out he's just turned into a superhuman spidey.
We get to see him fumble, play with his powers, design his suit, and all the while keeping you in your seat wanting more. Unlike movies such as Batman and Superman that started off slow and stayed slow until the end, Spiderman has a little for everyone.
As a huge Star Wars fan, I'm fairly sure that Spiderman will be the movie most talked about this summer.
Kirsten Dunst was also a surprise. I'm not a big fan of hers and yet she was fairly believable. One of the things that originally turned me off of her in this movie was the "Wet T-shirt" scene in the trailer and indeed there are some cleavage shots, but they in no way take away from the movie. In fact considering her characters background her dress was appropriate if not expected.
Toby *IS* Spiderman, after seeing him in this film, there is no one else who can ever play Spidey again.
Go see this movie, you won't regret it.
