The Web-Slinger done Right

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2002)

If you're wondering if "Spider-Man" lives up to all the pre-release hype.... It Does. The casting hits the mark, and the Story is Pure Spidey. My personal casting favorite is J.K. Simmons as J.Jonah Jamison; Dead-on performance. Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire are excellent. As a 30+ Year reader of the series of Spider-Man comics, it was nice to see that they were pretty much true to the storyline. A few thing were changed, I'm not going to do a "Spoiler", but they do not detract from the storyline. I especially liked the "little things" like, when MJ calls Peter "Tiger"... a Small point, but it shows how much attention was paid. An Enthusiastic endorsement from the Old Guy (Me), and from My 12 and 15 Year-old Sons as well. Now Starts the long wait for S-M II.
