Kirsten has a block-head

Rating: 2/10 (5 May 2002)

Spider-Man (don't you love that nineteenth-century hyphenation) entertains mainly through its special effects. These last about 2% of the film. The remainder of the movie looks like stuff I used to watch on TV during the 70s. Toby Maguire sounds and poses and hops like a toad, and Kirsten tries to summon up the enthusiasm to kiss him. It's sad that film has sunk so low that even comic books are more sophisticated.
