Simply the best!!

Rating: 9/10 (3 May 2002)

Words can't describe the elation felt from viewing this movie. For a long suffering Spider-Man fan like me, seeing Spidey done right on the big screen is like a dream come true. Sure, the non-mechanical web-shooters bothered me a little, but I can forgive Raimi for doing that because he stayed faithful to the soul of the comics and the characters. The character development and interactions of this movie should be a model for many films to come, both comic book related and non-comic book related. The casting of Tobey Maguire as Peter/Spidey....PURE GENIUS, can't think of another actor that could capture the essence of those characters the way he did. This was, hands down, the best comic adaptation I've seen. Can't wait for the DVD!!!!
My rating...**** (out of ****)
