Pretty well done.

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2007)

As a kid I've always enjoyed spider man. I feel the first movie was a great adaptation of the comics. Sure a few things were changed but overall it was still pleasant to see. This was one of the first well done superhero movies I've seen. Enough time was spent on character development to have things smooth out efficiently. Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker was a great choice. Despite his age he still easily passes off as a teenager. Also William Dafoe was great as the Goblin. It took time to get used to MJ. Kirsten Dunst with red hair at first seemed awkward to me. I eventually got used to it. I was too used to the cartoon MJ.
Overall, it's definitely something I recommend watching, even buying.
