Is this a great movie or what?

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2002)

There may be a spoiler or two here. This movie was spectacular. I was excited when I heard they were doing a Spiderman movie. I knew it would be cool with lots of special effects and cool fight scenes, but I had no idea the movie would be as full as this one was. I understood why the Green Goblin was blowing things up, it wasn't just mindless mayhem. I knew why Spiderman had the obsession with helping the innocent, not just because he was a good person. I felt terrible when Uncle Ben died. At the end, I wanted MJ and Peter Parker to get together. Toby McGuire was great, but Willem Dafoe just about stole the show.
This movie was movie-making magic at its best.
