I got to see spiderman on opening day and must admit I was impressed.
I won't go through the story line as there are hundreds of sites doing so. Here are my thoughts (I'm assuming you know the characters):
1) I did not like Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane. 2) Tobey Macguire was excellent and very believalbe as Spiderman. When I first heard of him playing the role I was sort of disappointed, but now I know the people at the studio have done a great job casting him.
3) J.J.J was dead on! I wish he had more screen time. He was portraid perfectly.
4) Spiderman's suit (unlike Batman's) was excellent and looked exactly the way it does in the comic books.
5) Green Goblin was a disappointment on 2-3 levels; first of all his suit looks like a green Robocop! As far as I remember he didn't look anything like his Comic book version, why was he so shiny? Where did he come from? ,lastly Willem Dafoe sucked. I never liked him to begin with, but he couldn't do the same thing Jack Nicholson did as Joker. Dafoe was the only person you could tell he was "Acting"! I know, you have to see it to see what I mean. Everyone else was 100% genuine, except him. Anyways, that's what I think!
6) The special effects were great, but in some shots it did look fake. Some scenes were a giveaways as far as the effects go. ---------------
All in all I liked the movie and plan to see it at least one more time before the end of summer. I do recommend it. It's fun.
