Spectacular!

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2003)

I liked watching this movie because it had something that many other actions movies lack. I can't name it but there is definitely something. I think it was great that they chose Tobey Maguire to play Spiderman/Peter Parker. He looks so innocent and sweet yet he can take out the bad guys. Tobey Maguire was awesome as Spiderman and I can't picture anyone else playing Spiderman. I like Willem Dafoe (I can't spell his name too well) as the Green Gobler. He was the absolute perfect villain. I have always been somewhat of a fan of Kirsten Dunst. She was great in Bring It On as well as Small Soldiers. She's a very talented actress and she was great in this movie. I heard that they were considering Tara Reid and Kate Hudson for the role of Mary Jane. Nah. Kirsten's the perfect Mary Jane. Aside from the awesome performances in the movie, one thing caught my eyes when I watched it again and again and that were th many goofs in the movie. I saw an abundance while I was watching but tell me something, who goes to the movies to spot goofs when there's a mystical web slinger sailing through the air. Nobody. This movie was definitely the best action movie of 2002. I admire all the people who worked hard to make this movie what it is. A lot of other movies could follow the example of magnificent film making like Spiderman (stupid movies in particular like Mission Impossible II and XXX). Spiderman gets your adrenaline pumping as you wait in anticipation for some other spectacular action sequence that is about to come. The movie was perfect in every sense I'd say. This movie was released in Trinidad about a month after it was released in the US. There was a big rush but I got in and I was glad because Spiderman did not disappoint me. I was thoroughly with this movie. It left me wanting to see it again and again and again and again. I loved the special effects. That's one of the things that attracts me about movies, the special effects. I liked the shots where it looked like you were getting a view from Spiderman's eyes of how he swung down from the buildings through the traffic and back up again. The kiss between Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, I thought it should have been longer but yet it was awesome, first time I've ever seen something like that. This movie gets 9.7/10 from me because I loved it!
