One of the best early comic book films

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2020)

Spider-Man is personally my favorite superhero. He is just your friendly neighborhood super hero. If I learned anything from this film, is that with great power, comes great responsibility. Yeah, It is considered cliche now, but it was a powerful lesson back then and I can always tie the theme to this movie. While, there are bigger and possibly better superhero films to this day, Spider-Man is one of the best of the pre MCU films. (Though there is a film that I believe is better than this one). I enjoy this film a lot. It is a nice origin story full of action. William DeFoe is over the top as Green Goblin, but it actually works in this film! Tobey McGuire is not too bad as the lead in this film. The acting, is not too bad overall. Yeah, there are some cheesy moments, but the action is so well done that those cheesy moments can easily be forgotten. Throw in the great theme and you have your self a pretty good superhero movie. If you have not seen this film yet, then it is time that you do.
