bring on the gold medal!

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2002)

this movie was awesome, every i hoped it was and more. it was indeed a love story, but it didnt hurt the action and adventurous side of the movie. 2hours is indeed the perfect running time for a movie to become great, so it was great to see this movie follow the concept of great family movies by lasting over 2hrs. all the great family adventure/action movies are about 2 hrs, great films include "home alone", "goonies", "jurassic park", "indiana jones" and even "star wars". by making the movie 2hrs it created enough time to combine story telling (his childhood => how he became spiderman), love (obvious), and last but not least the action and adventure. by the way, by family movies i am specifically talking about movies that are appropiate for the whole family, and this movie fits in preety well, but dont get me wrong a 2yr old would cry in the theater cause of the green goblin, but most kids would love him. the movie incorporated special effects very well unlike the recent "blade II" where the animation was too fast and unappropiate at times. $114,000,000.... wow! this movie is certainly gonna get a medal, and i think the gold is VERY vulnerable. i would actually love to see this movie win the gold as it deserves it and it would eliminate all the titanic contreversy on how titanic didnt deserve it, which to a point i disagree. titanic is probably the "one-timer" i ever saw, as in movies that are great for one viewing and thats all, but u know how tuff it is to sit down and watch it again, also considering its got no comedy, so its unfair, but thats the reason why its not my favorite. spider-man is a movie im probably gonna see next weekend on a date, and many other times when it comes out on tv.
