A Great Movie

Rating: 8/10 (23 February 2017)

Spider-Man is a 2002 American superhero film directed by Sam Raimi. it is based on the Marvel comics character of the same name. The film stars Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker. Spider man is about a high school student who develops spider-like super powers. at around the same time as he obtains these powers, his uncle is killed by a common thug. Peter Parker is devastated and leads him to hate all forms of crime. this is what makes him become spider-man. at first, Peter Parker just goes after low level crime. we see him in a montage stopping several crimes and gaining popularity in New York City. this all changes however, when Spider-man meets the green goblin, played by Willem Dafoe. They fight several times in the movie, and their final fight is by far the best. The movie ends with Peter Parker continuing to hide his identity so that he can continue to fight crime. Overall, i would say that this movie is Very good. i don't believe that it's as good as Spider-man 2, but it showed just how great spider-man can work on the big screen. Tobey Maguire as Spider-man was a great choice in my opinion. i really like how he was able to make Peter Parker look weak in the beginning, and make him look strong later in the movie. one thing i didn't like was the relationship between Peter Parker and Mary Jane. it never really felt real to me. i think the actors did great, but i think they needed better writing. In Conclusion, Spider-man is definitely a movie i recommend.
