Still classic cinema fun after all these years

Rating: 7/10 (9 December 2019)

I do have a lot of things to say about this movie. For one thing it was the first M rated movie I was fully exposed to, yes that's right Australian. So of course I fell in love with this movie at first watch. It does tell a fairly serious and somber tale of our main character Peter Parker. Who after being bitten by the radioactive spider is transformed into the titular Spider-Man, who is played brilliantly by Tobey Maguire
The whole transformation and the eventual buildup to him designing the suit and training his powers are all exciting and fun to watch, the organic web may bother some but I had no problem with it personally
Willem Dafoe plays an electrifying villain who is incredibly fun to watch as he constantly talks against himself and gets crazier and funnier throughout the film
All the characters are memorable and tell an exciting story, the movie has aged very well for me and is still fresh and exciting after all these years. Also the score is still exciting and gives me chills.
Kirsten Dunst is also a stunner and plays such a likeable character and the kiss scene is still magical after all these years. It's an iconic scene that never loses its impact
The finale against Peter and Norman is electrifying and tense and very well shot really closing the film with an epic and emotional conclusion
It still tells the tragic origin story of Peter as Spider-Man 2 will have a more upbeat and comedic vibe as we see Spider-Man sling into action once again
