great all the way through

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2004)

This movie was wonderful. I must say I wasn't sure what to expect when I first went into the theater, but it surpassed all expectations. I had never really been a big fan of the comic book area of things but I am now, and I am anxiously waiting for the second one to come into theaters so that I hopefully will be amazed and entertained once again. I just loved the way that Tobey Maguire portrayed the emotionally torn and socially outcast Peter Parker, and Kirsten Dunst the emotionally abused Mary Jane Watson. They both seemed to bring to life characters that have been read of by readers for years who were finally brought onto the screen. And then there was the score. Danny Elfman truly captured the feel of this movie in the writing of the music. It makes you cry and laugh at the proper times. It gives you a sense of something being wrong or somethings going to happen. Really very well done.
