Simply the best comic-based movie EVER!

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2002)

I must admit that I was a little skeptical at first. Sam Raimi as the director? I was expecting James Cameron. Tobey Maguire? Willem DaFoe? Kirsten Dunst? Oh come on! Then I saw the movie. I was wrong. Sam Raimi was brilliant - he created the best live-action adaptation of a comic book that I have ever seen! Tobey Maguire was very convincing as both Peter Parker AND Spiderman. Kirsten Dunst played Mary Jane very well, and Willem DaFoe was a marvelous Green Goblin. With rumors flying about a second and possibly third installment in a series of Spiderman movies, I find myself very excited. If you enjoyed the likes of Batman and Superman movies, you will LOVE Spiderman!
