Simply One of Raimis' Best...

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 2002)

I saw this flick the opening weekend, and was simply amazed. Not only because the theaters were packed, but because of how real the movie seemed. Now of course no one can have powers like Peter Parker, but everything he and MJ go through feels real. The movie itself was excellent and I'm glad that Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and director Sam Raimi are returning for a second film. The only thing that bothered me, as well as a lot of my friends is that Peter doesn't make his webbing, like in the comic and cartoons. Also if I loved someone like MJ like he loves her I wouldn't pass up the chance, I do understand however his reasons. William Defoe was perfect as Norman Osbourne/Green Goblin. I'm also grateful that Sam Raimi left the WTC buildings in the movie, because that would only tell the people responsible that we were mortally wounded in that tragedy. The soundtrack song "Hero" is also a nice touch. I'm definately seeing Spiderman 2 which is supposed to feature Lizard Man and Dr. Octupus. 4 OUT OF 5 STARS
