Tons of Fun

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2003)

My One Line Summary sums it up pretty good. This movie is a lot of fun to watch. It does not get bogged down with introducing our hero (Spider-Man) or anti-hero (Green Goblin). Each character is enjoyable to watch, the action is high, and the special effects are terrific. In my opinion, this movie with the role of introducing Spider-Man to the big production silver screen could not have been done much better. Tobey Maguire is a talented actor, but I really didn't think I would like him in this role. Well, he pulled it off. Well done Tobey. The other characters are all interesting without bogging the film down with too many details or being too light on substance. It was handled just perfectly for a comic book movie.
