So-o-o-o disappointing!

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2002)

Just saw the movie this afternoon. I awaited it eagerly because of the reviews and because I'm a huge fan of Tobey Maguire. I couldn't believe how disjointed the whole thing was. The pacing was way off. The characters were unformed even for a comic book and I was actually bored for most of it. A two-year-old kept walking up and down my aisle and I actually found him more entertaining! And kids really bug me at movies. The script was terrible. I couldn't see any purpose for Spider-Man and the Green Goblin to be at odds, really. If you compare it to Superman and Batman there really was no story development. And what was with Kirsten Dunst's clothes? If her sweaters were cut any lower and tighter she'd have been a tart.
I hope Tobey gets a real movie to act in next. He looked great in the scene where he has his shirt off, but it's a shame he worked so hard on his physique for such a short scene.
