Let's Enjoy The Swing

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2002)

If you're a Spider-Man fan, you might not be satisfied by the way the story's being told. Some differences between the story in the comics and this movie are there. But it's not very important for common people since this movie is AMAZINGLY ENTERTAINING!!! The problems may arise when this movie is going to be made in sequels. Hopefully, they will manage it somehow.
Basically, this movie tells the story of how Peter Parker became Spider-man and facing many problems in his life. His love life with Mary Jane, his friendship with Harry Osborn and his enemy, The Green Goblin, none other than his bestfriend's father. But the most fantastic thing about this movie, you can enjoy the swing of a Spider-Man while you're watching. It is a great camera work that I must salute this movie. But unfortunately, we can't see any great acting of its stars. Even some scenes of this movie are too plain, the players were not acting naturally. The one who's quite natural in acting is Kirsten Dunst, who played Mary Jane, even though it's not quite brilliant either. By the way, Tobey's face and body was quite fit into the Spider-man's character but not into Spider-man's behavior as I had expected.

So, when you watch this movie, just enjoy the movie for it is entertaining. For more than two hours, you'll enjoy the artistic set, the special effect (but not the computer generated Spider-man which looked too obvious) the action and the way the story is being told to you. It is fun to watch this movie, especially when you miss the superhero kind of movies.
