Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2002)

I went to the theater expecting to see something entertaining, yet silly. And that's exactly what I got (Actually the entertainment value was above my expectation).
As you probably know, film starts with this nerdy, interested in photography, obviously in love with his next door neighbor student, Peter. Tobey Maguire did an amazing job portraying Peter Parker/Spider-Man throughout the entire movie. Peter then gets bitten by a genetically engineered spider, which matches perfectly with Peter's DNA (or something like that) to create the supernatural powerful creature of spider-man.
Now Peter needs to get used to his newly acquired powers. This part of the movie is spectacular (first 30 mins). It's pretty amusing seeing someone going from a nerdy student to a super-natural human being in one night. The school fight scene was the one I enjoyed most.
After the first 30 mins, then movie gets ,kind of, repetitive and not as interesting (still good, just not as good). Not to forget the cheesy dialogue thrown here and there. Willem Dafoe was simplyÂ….. not appropriate for the role of Green Goblin (which you heard enough about his ridiculous custom).
Still the movie was overall enjoyable. Worth the admission price. I recommend it for the genre fans, and anyone whos looking to have some good time. 6.5/10
