One Of The Best Superhero Movie

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2012)

Spiderman is a superhero film that is based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Spiderman. The film stars Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, a high-school student who turns to crime fighting after developing spider-like powers. Spider-Man also stars Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn, Kirsten Dunst as Peter's love interest Mary-Jane Watson, and James Franco as his best friend Harry Osborn.After incorporating elements of comic book style and design into many of his films, director Sam Raimi helms this straight-ahead, big-budget comic book adaptation, which also marks acclaimed young actor Tobey Maguire's first dip into live-action blockbuster film-making. Cliff Robertson and Rosemary Harris co-star to play key supporting roles.
Spiderman follows the template of the original Stan Lee/Steve Ditko source material, with hero Peter Parker an orphaned, intellectual teen loner living in Queens with his aunt and uncle, and dreaming of the girl next door, Mary Jane. On a field trip to a Columbia University lab, Peter is bitten by a genetically altered spider and overnight he gains superhuman strength, agility, and perception. At first, Peter uses his powers for material gain, winning a wrestling match with a purportedly lucrative prize. But when Peter apathetically fails to stop a burglar from robbing the wrestling arena, a tragedy follows that compels him to devote his powers to fighting crime as the superhero Spiderman. When he's not busy fighting crime in a spider suit, Peter moves into an apartment with his best friend, Harry, and begins work as a photographer at the Daily Bugle. Meanwhile, his do-gooder alter ego finds a nemesis in the form of the Green Goblin, a super-powered, megalomaniacal villain who happens to be the alter ego of Harry's father, weapons-manufacturing mogul Norman Osborn.
Spiderman provide a good dose of web-swinging fun.Also,it also has a heart.Credit that to the combined charms of director Sam Raimi and star Tobey Maguire. Added to that,it captures the high-energy, pulpy effervescence of Marvel when it was young and feisty. Whatever imperfections the film picks up along the way, they practically demand to be hand-waved aside as it effectively takes time between exhilarating digital effects to develop character and motivation. Colorful, energetic and well-cast,it is a good-quality, highly-entertaining action movie.
