Great film

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 2002)

I had waited for the Spider-Man movie for a good two years before I saw it opening night, but I had lowered my expectations before coming into the film. Man, I shouldn't have done that. The movie had exceeded my excitement and was well worth the two year wait that I endured. The action was great- how they managed to intersplice computer animation with real life action in some scenes baffled me and the acting was superb (Willem Dafoe's scene at his home in front of the mirror was absolutely incredible). Is the movie for everyone? Probably not, it was a little more "cartoony" than something like x-men or the matrix. But if you're into the sort of thing that the movie Spider-Man stands for, then you can't go wrong and you'll be hard-pressed to find a better movie.
