A movie that literally web-slings off the screen!

Rating: 9/10 (3 May 2002)

Before seeing this film I was apprehensive about it. I mean Tobey Maguire as a superhero? Well, I was definitely surprised. It's amazing how much better a film gets when you bring in good actors for what would normally be a popcorn movie. And this movie is chock full of great actors. Maguire is absolutely amazing as Spiderman, while other notables are Robertson and Simmons, who despite having small roles, steal the few scenes they are in. Dafoe brings a tough character to life in dramatic, sometimes corny, but always entertaining fashion. Overall, this is a must-see pre-summer blockbuster, so get to your local theater NOW!
