A character driven action, sci-fi film.

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2002)

I love this film because the main character of this film isn't Spider-man but is really Peter Parker. It's thankfully the origin story which is considered one of the best comic story of all time. Even though having Peter a complete nerd isn't particularlly a favourite idea of mine, Raimi never lets this stray away too much that Peter has a scene where he gets bullied for five bucks. Even if the green goblins looks terrible without the glider Defoe pulls of Osborn beauitfully. There are a couple of lines such as "we'll meet again" by the goblin after he is beaten by Spidy in quite camp style which I didn't like and I swear sometimes when Spidy is swinging they reused the same footage. However you can't deny that this film has a solid script.
My favourite scene would have to be the explanation of Uncle Bens death. A car jacking is a great explanation towards his death then anything ever explained in the comics. Such who remembers how one story stated that some criminal had left treasure in the Parker household. I just can't wait for Dvd I want to watch the scene where a goblin bomb goes of Spidys face in slo-mo.
