Fantastic!

Rating: 9/10 (5 May 2002)

Easily the best film of 2002, I have already seen it twice and want to see it again! The movie was almost flawless...almost. The direction was amazing, although that would be expected of Sam Raimi. Acting was superb on all accounts, especially the tragic turning-point of the movie (I won't give it away), the scenes between Harry and Norman Oswald, and the end. To be honest, I went into this movie expecting to see a regular action movie, like the Scorpion King, but I was pleased beyond belief to see that my favorite super-hero's movie debut was actually emotionally gripping! My only complaint was how the movie skipped the explanation of how Peter developed his new costume (which wasn't a big mystery, but would have been nice to watch) and the parts where the CGI was a little too 'comic-bookish' for my tastes. 9/10!
