Great when not just remaking 1978 Superman!

Rating: 6/10 (22 March 2019)

So.
The first act looks and feels like a normal late 90's movie from the time. There is nothing special. It's ok. The score isn't good. The acting goes from good to bad at random, and the dialogue is kind of weak.
Then we get the core of the movie (Uncle Ben scene) and that's perfect. Few comic-book movies justifiy so perfectly the guilt and heroic responsability for the main character. It's awesome.
After he gets to be Spiderman, the movie improves a lot and is motly pretty good with some exceptions. MJ "love" relationship with Spiderman is weak and unjustified. Why are Peter and Harry friends? Why is MJ Harry's girlfriend? The movie asks you to believe they all love each other, but we don't see it onscreen in my opinion.
Willem Dafoe's Goblin is... ok. Him trying to get to team up with Spiderman isn't though. Why would Spiderman join him? He's on a personal vendetta, even if Spiderman is a criminal, there is no reason for him to join in.
Whatever. The movie is fine, and the action sequences pretty great. The movie is funny, just not that great.
Good movie overall, with great action, a great hero origin story, but weak and stilted dialogue, ok at best villain, and not always great acting. I liked it more at the time, but it may have been because Kirsten Dunst was, understandably, a super crush for me.
