MY EXPECTATIONS WERE HIGHER

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2002)

Not a bad movie at all, but I expected a lot more from this Spider-man. All best scenes are in the trailer, so nothing's left for the audience to see. The special effects also had to be better and more effective, you could easily spot that many sequences were CGI. The storyline was very childish and had no surprises. It's not that I didn't like the movie, which I did, but I do hope that Spider 2 would be far better than this one. I enjoyed seeing Tobey Maguire as Spider-man and Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane. As for Willem Dafoe as The Green Goblin, he had a great potential, which was not effectively used.
