What a work of art! We can definitely see Stan Lee's hands all over this project. From Spidey's quips, to the drama of the Norman Osborne's "Other Personality" this is perhaps the BEST comic book to Movie translation I've ever seen. If your a True Believer however, you may find a FEW, and I do mean a few, problems. #1 for me was the Web Shooters. As we all know, Parker built his web-shooters, and mixed his own "web fluid". Not so in the movie, now they're part of his genetic enhancement. #2 "With Great Power comes Great Responsibility" Great line, but I feel that the director's REALLY wanted it in a specific part at a specific time. It wasn't used very well, and left me going "Where did that come from." Overall, one of the best movies of the year. I loved watching Spidey "learn" how to use his powers, and how he goes from Peter Parker to Spiderman. The comic book is followed religiously in alot of parts, and for this we can all be thankful. The CGI was masterful, and the acting on the part of Tobey McGuire was superb. Long live the Amazing Spider Man.
