<div class="IPBDescription">Does whatever a spider can!</div>Before I start this review, I just wanted to say im a bit biased, because I have liked Spidey since like 5th grade. Just take that into account, and you will see where im coming from.

I thought this movie was awesome. Definatly the movie to beat this year, as far as im concerned Star Wars 2 will not touch it, except in box-office. William Dafoe plays the green goblin so well, but maybe thats because he plays a good schizo/pyscho. Tobey Magiure plays Peter Parker, giving a great preformance. Kirstin Dunst was never anything special in my book, but she did her thing and didnt ruin the movie or anything.

The fight scenes are a blast, but the best part of the movie is watching Peter Parker adapt to his new powers. "Go web go!" <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> The movie is directed by the genius Sam Raimi, with such credits as Evil Dead (my avatar), Army of Darkness and A Simple Plan. If you have watched any of those, you will know that they are not lacking in the humor department. Spiderman isnt either, its very funny. From Jonah Jameson to Bonesaw Mcgraw the characters are very diverse and funny.

There are about 3 cameos that I picked up, 1 was Bruce Campbell from Sam Raimis earlier movies, who was the wrestling announcer. Stan Lee makes a cameo as a running civilian from a Green Goblin pumpkin bomb attack and Sam Raimi appears as Jonah Jamesons assistant/#####.

Its a great movie, and definatly the best superhero movie yet.

9/10 <------ I would have liked to see more villians, because I played the game with like Shocker and the Vulture. But the Green Goblin was awesome.

    Sounds like a great movie, I've always loved Spiderman. Remember waking up every saturday turning the TV to fox kids, watching and loving it. Unfortunately I haven't seen the movie yet, but thanks to your review, my inspiration to see it has increased, a lot.

    Nice review, by the way.

    Beautiful, beautiful movie.  If my friend hadn't had a prior engagement, we would have theater-hopped into the next showing.

    This movie plain rules.  I've never been a fan of comics, but this movie is so good it doesn't matter.  I'd bring my Grandma to this film.

    I'm definitely planning on seeing this movie.  If not this weekend, then I'll see it a couple weeks down the road once I've got my fill of Episode 2.  But I definitely don't think it'll be better than Star Wars.  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
