pretty much perfect

Rating: Null/10 (3 May 2002)

What can I say, here I am a Batman fan, a DC Comics nut, and I love this movie. I watched X-men and Spiderman cartoons when I was a kid, and enjoyed them, but I grew up loving the Batman movies, and finding Marvel characters cool but mediocre (Spiderman being the cream of the crop). I saw the X-men movie, and liked it. During the trailers to Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, I was awe struck at the teaser trailer for this movie, basically I have waited for this movie since July 14th (July 14th 2001 to May 3rd 2002, you do the math).
It was weeeeeell worth the wait(a few hours before I wrote this review) I have seen the greatest superhero movie ever. Not only did this movie make you love the characters and love their comic book-esque story, but it made you feel like what it must be like to be Spiderman. Every punch that was given rocked in my gut, every web that was swung on made me feel like I was on a rollercoaster. The special effects (flawed only to those with pecimistic hawk eyes) were glorious, the actors were wonderful. Tobey McGwire is the perfect Peter Parker, Willam Defoe is the perfect Green Goblin. And Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson, WHOA! she's worth the price of admission all by herself (Mrs. Dunst, stay a redhead, it really, REALLY suits you). My only compliant with the film is that there were no scenes showing how either Spiderman or the Green Goblin made their suits.
And with that said my glum look for the 2002 movie season has been shot down by Spiderman, a definate must see for anybody who has a comic book fan in them!
