Definitely a fun movie. Not necessarily a good movie though.

Rating: 7/10 (10 May 2002)

This movie was amazingly fun to watch and had a lot of good laughs and great action scenes. But, as much as I enjoyed the movie, there were some aspects that really bugged me. The worst of which was the clunky dialouge (the hospital scene in particular). If you were one of the thousands that were annoyed by Star Wars: Episode I's dialouge, then you will most likely have the same problems with the dialouge that I had. If you don't understand why I don't like the dialouge in either movie, then consider yourself lucky not to have noticed.
My other main problem was that some of the effects looked like I could have done a better job using photoshop on a Mac. The scenes in particular that i am speaking of are the scenes in which Peter Parker is jumping from building to building in his plain clothes (near the begining) and the scene at the end with MJ hanging on the cable and getting tossed around like a rag doll after the Green Goblin makes his pass.
Both of these scenes, along with the clunky dialouge, took me out of the fantasy world that was created around me and reminded me that I was just watching a movie.
All in all, the rest of the film is done very well, and there are wonderful performances by Tobey MacGuire, Kirsten Dunst (I normally have really big problems with her performances, but this time she outdid herself), and Willem DaFoe. Another notable performance was J.K. Simmons, who plays teh part of J. Jonah Jameson perfectly, and I must say that I really enjoyed his scenes.
I would suggest going to see this movie to anyone that wants to be entertained and have a good time, but still don't think it's going to win any awards.
