They say there's a hero to save us and its definitely not Spiderman!!!

Rating: Null/10 (4 February 2003)

This movie is without a doubt the most depressing experience I've had in the last year of movie going. If I wanted to watch a cartoon, I would watch pokemon. At least it isn't as happy, fluffy, and corny as this movie. I can't believe I waited years for these 2 hours of agony. I would rather go suffer through a Disney sequel!! I loved Spiderman as a kid and found nothing but disappointment in this movie. It's a shame, too, because this movie had all the right pieces to make a great movie but they made it look corny instead of cool. I swear Spiderman's weightless or else he wouldn't be able to jump like this. Why couldn't they just have made it look like he had weight?? I will give it some credit though. Tobey Maguire did do a good job in his role. Kirsten Dunst and the supporting cast did their part. However the green goblin was pathetic compared to Gene Hackman, or Jack Nicholson. The musical score was great. I say this movie is happy, and fluffy, because no one dies, all the people are nice, and it doesn't show how the real world is. I've got nothing against New York, but I know it's not that cheery. Overall this movie just comes up short of the quality that Superman or Batman attained. I feel bad about this because spideys always
been my favorite. Hopefully Daredevil or the Hulk will give Marvel its well deserved recognition. Until then DC comic's heroes are superior in Hollywood. But for now all we have this horrible movie with an ending only `Planet of the Apes' can boast at being worse. If only Sam had tried to make a believable movie like he claimed to be doing.
