ehhh..it was...o..k?

Rating: 6/10 (15 December 2002)

Quick rundown...the acting was well done,the casting was well done...the effects were well done...so what's my problem with it? The Green Goblin was so ridiculous looking to me I couldn't get around it. Not Willam DaFoe himself but rather the foolish costume they put him into. The Goblin glider was very good but what were they thinking with that costume? Another quibble with it I had was that the story didn't grip me at all. Being a Spidey fan for a long time now I knew nearly everything that would happen. If companies are going to tell these stories,they've got to have at least a few plotline surprises for the old time fans. Not a huge complaint enough to ruin it for me but I didn't really mind the whole 'Make Spidey a mutant' thing but I would have preferred had Peter Parker made his own web shooters,etc... XMen was a much better superhero adaptation.....and for the record,in print I'm a much bigger Spiderman fan than XMen.
