What is the big deal?

Rating: 4/10 (7 August 2002)

What is the big deal about this movie? I had VERY low expectations for this film. I will admit that it was better than I expected it to be, but it is not by any means a great film. The highlight of the film is Willem Dafoe. He plays the perfect villain. Kirsten Dunst delivers a decent performance as well. And at least it didn't have a predictable ending. Now I realize that a bunch of you comic book lovers are probably going to send me a bunch of hate mail after reading my review, but so what. I agree with Roger Ebert's review of this movie. It's not very believeable, original, or all that enlightening either. Plus I don't like comic books.
I leave you with this question: Where does Tobey MacGuire's Spider-Man costume come from. He made the one for the wrestling match that looked like something his mom made for him when he was 8 on Halloween. The next time you see him with his costume, it looks like it was custom-made by a professional Hollywood costume designer. No explanation. And it aggravates me. I give this one a 4/10
