Entertaining; great acting by Toby McGuire; something missing

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2002)

As a long time Spiderman fan, I finally saw the movie last night. I found myself enjoying the movie as vignettes rather than a movie that really 'takes you there'. Something was missing...perhaps a more profound epiphany as the spider and human DNA combine...I rare forgot I was watching a movie (the fact that the movie stopped 3 times with the lights coming up didn't exactly help!). Toby McGuire is excellent as Spiderman...I hope there is an even BETTER sequel coming!
