Nicely done

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2005)

Spider-man, in the hands of director Sam Raimi has made this film one of the more spectacular comic book superhero films. Though this isn't as good as the first Superman and Batman movies, it definitely is up there. The pluses are Raimi's direction, the proper casting of Tobey Maguire as the title character and Kirsten Dunst as his love interest Mary Jane Watson. But real kudos goes to James Franco as Harry Osborn (I look forward to his character being developed in the sequels). Also, kudos to Danny Elfman for composing a unique theme for Spider-man (though his Batman theme is better this one is only a shade paler). This is a nicely done film - a 7 out of 10.
