best movie i have seen in a long time

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2002)

First off, i was never a huge fan, but i always loved spidey. I watched the saturday morning cartoon show, and played the video games, but never really read the comics. I went into this movie thinking that it would be all action, and just fighting the green goblin. I got my fight scenes, along w/ a really good story. It gave those a chance who hadnt been big fans, to see how he came to be, and why spiderman isnt like other superheroes. He didnt ask for his powers, and he sees it as his gift, and curse. He still is human, and if you cut him, he will bleed. Tobey did a great job portraying the shy and nerdy aspect of peter parker, while having charisma and courage when spidey. I thought that the story would suffer, and it would be like tomb raider movie, and be like watching a video game, but it flowed really well, and was realistic. The love triangle of peter, mj, and harry also creates a lot of tension in the plot, and really helps connect this movie, and leaves room for a sequel. Overall, i would say this is the best movie i have seen in a few years. And one last thing, you get so engulfed in the movie, the 2 hours fly by.
P.S. - Sit in one of the first 5 rows, its more fun... lots more fun.
