One of the best films of 2002. . .

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2002)

This movie is great. It features a truly brilliant performance by Tobey Maguire, as a character you can truly identify with. The supporting performances are great, and the chemistry between the actors is perfect. The action is great. I'm really tired of people saying that the action scenes were stolen from or inspired by the Matrix. Nothing could be further from the truth. The action was taken from the comic books. The Matrix, in fact, was heavily inspired by the Spider-Man comics among others. The only thing that really bothered me about this movie was the villain. Dafoe is great, but the Green Goblin is simply a crummy villain, with no depth or anything. But overall, highly recommended! See it now! Sam Raimi is a genius!
