WOW!

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2002)

WOW! I mean freakin' WOW!
It's not very often I pay twice to see a movie in the theater (or know
for sure I'll buy the DVD on the day it's released), but I have to tell
you, Spider-Man was just about the best, most fun movie I've seen
in a long time. The film is just about 2 hours that feels like 15
minutes. It's full of action, has a great plot, some good gushy
scenes for the sentimental, and an outstanding performance by
the entire cast.
Tobey Maguire plays the webbed wonder and does a great job. I
wasn't a big fan of his, but I am now. My daughters also have a
new heartthrob. For the guys, Kirsten Dunst is beautiful and puts
on a great performance. The most outstanding (and I mean Oscar
quality) performance has to go to Willem Dafoe. He portrays the
Green Goblin and is so creepy, he made my blood run cold a few
times. He literally steals every scene he's in. For those who
remember the 60's cartoon series will get a huge kick out of J.
Jonah Jameson. J.K Simmons plays him just like the cartoon.
If you're a Spidey fan like me or you have kids that like super
heroes, you have to go see this movie. It was loads of fun and has
to be seen in the theater.
