The wait is over, and well worth it!

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2002)

The long wait is over, and finally audiences will be able to see Spidey sailing down 5th Avenue. "Spider-Man" not only delivers, but surpasses all expectations.
The story is great, the choice of actors is superb, and above all everything looks awesome. Sure the dialogue gets a bit corny at points, but that is expected (and in some cases preferred).
The visual effects of this movie are spell-binding. From the opening credits to the final scene, "Spider-Man" is a huge spectacle.
I'm not going to get into the plot, but here a few hints while watching (don't worry no spoilers):
1. Look for cameos (I spotted nearly half a dozen)
2. Listen for clues about the sequel.
3. Look closely at who is acting the bit parts of the movie, there are some really cool actors.
4. Make sure you see the film in a sold out crowd in a theatre with great sound (Danny Elfman's music is awesome).
5. Enjoy! It's a great popcorn movie!
Stop reading this review, and go out and see "Spider-Man"!!!
