Fans of the comic book will have a good time.

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 2002)

As far as authenticity besides a few character changes in appearance and skill level the movie did do the comic justice. With a cameo from the creator Stan Lee, and also some serious characters mentioned for maybe future sequels such as Eddie Brock aka Venom and the Lizard.
Special effects were amazing, they did a really nice job showing the webslinger flying around New York, along with The Green Goblin on his glider. All and all it was good flick with good performances from Maquire and Defoe along with Dunst.
