Itsy bitsy Spider...

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2002)

Wow! I certainly had a lot on my mind when I went to see this movie. My favorite super-hero, finally on the big screen! And I shall confess to you all, abit picky as I can be, not much was flawed in this very amusing, exciting and breathtaking adventure!
The special effects did their job, but there were some drawbacks. At some point the hero (as Peter Parker) swings thru the city and you can hear him scream of joy. Setback? Mouth ain't moving...
But that's just a petitesse, there is so much to talk about that brings a smile to my face.
The actors are excellent and perfectly casted for the parts. Tobey Maguire is Peter Parker, Kirsten Dunst are all what Mary Jane is about, Willem Dafoe gives as Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin a performance much like Jack Nicholson's portail of the Joker, outstanding and off top that he really do is Goblin. Oh, and not to forget J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson, the Daily Bugles cheiftant and master in a brilliant and lovingly act as one of the most love-to-hate good guys ever to hit the silver screen!
The story is as you spiderloving friends all now it to be. Nerdy Peter Parker get's a bite form an radioactive spider, transforms into Spider-man after learning from his uncle that "with great powers comes great responsibility" and try to win the heart of Mary-Jane Watson and on the same time battling the megalomaniac Green Goblin, destroying New York on his rampage.
Green Goblins suit is a disappointment, since Spidy's costume is quite like the one in the comics why couldn't Goblin have received the same treatment?
Anyway, a real golden piece of movie... 9 of 10 of course.
