A film for comic lovers and action buffs

Rating: 7/10 (19 June 2002)

I went into the cinema expecting big things from this movie. It's been a huge success in the States and has been critically acclaimed for being a great action blockbuster.
Getting straight to the point, the movie wasn't quite what I was hoping for. I still enjoyed it as the action sequences were pretty cool and Tobey Maguire was excellent as the gawky Peter Parker. I think they could have done with a bit more humour and a bit more character building. The Green Goblin was a little TOO outrageous in my opinion also. The worst thing for me though was the lovey dovey scenes...bleh!
Definitely worth seeing. Fans of the comic book will love it, as will action fans in general. 7/10.
