Boring!!

Rating: 4/10 (4 August 2002)

Being a comic-book fan since childhood this movie was on my must-see list. What a disappointment it was however! Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst are totally mis-casted as P.P. and M.J. The tone of the movie is not like the comic books whatsoever. I loved Spiderman for his great one-liners and mocking of his adversaries when he fought them. None of that came back in the movie. In stead a way too long explanation of P.P. dealing with his new powers. The costume of the Green Goblin looked as if it came out of the Power Rangers costume set. Special effects are terrible. I was really glad when the movie ended. I almost fell asleep. What I liked was the J. Jonah Jameson character and Spideys costume. This is not the best movie I have ever seen and I hope Sam Raimi doesn't get to direct the sequel. Maybe the producers should take a look at the guys that directed X-Men and Blade. These movies are way better than this boring waste of film. Other good adaptations are IMHO Darkman, the Shadow and even Rocketeer!
