Good, but not perfect

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2002)

The movie was pretty good. Parts of the movie turned into a CGI-fest though and the CGI was very noticeable. If you ignore that and focus on the plot (the origin story followed the comic pretty faithfully) and the characters (I especially liked William Dafoe's portrayal of Norman Osborn) the movie was enjoyable.
Toby Maguire made a pretty good Spiderman despite what critics say.
The ending seemed a bit rushed and there is an obvious setup for a sequel.
Still I enjoyed the movie and may see it again since I missed all the trailers and I heard there is a surprise at the end of the credits.
