Wonderful portrayal of the Characters

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2002)

Spiderman was a well done comic to movie event. On the plus side, the characters were all but perfect. Tobie Maguire pulls off Peter Parker extremely well and Wilhem Dafoe was born to play Norman Osbourne. If this wasn't a movie based on a comic book, he would be up for an Oscar. However, expect him to win the MTV Best Villain award (even though he will be competing against Christopher Lee 2X for that one. Sauraman from The Lord of the Rings and Darth Tyranus from Clones.)
Kirsten Dunst and the Director put a slightly new twist on MJ, but it's in the right direction. Personally this is the first rendition cartoon, comic or movie were I enjoyed the Aunt May character.
On the down side (but not too far down) the special effects were
just OK. The Computer animation was second rate by todays standards and somehow it lessoned the presence of Spiderman on the Screen. The Green Goblins costume was a little too much like Jet jaguar from Godzilla fame for my liking.
The enjoyment from this movie comes mostly from the real life characters and aliases and not from when our hero and villain are suited up.
Despite this, I still gave it a 9. I cant see were I can knock it any further than that.
