| Spiderman (2002) Cast:Tobey Maguire,Willem Dafoe,Kirsten Dunst Spiderman is just a terrific movie. It's stylish,the action scenes well mounted and solid acting makes Spiderman the best movie I have seen for a long time as Maguire plays a nerdy teen who is bitten by a spider which gives him special powers that he decides to use to fight crime. Enter Dafoe who plays "The Green Goblin" who is bent on killing anyone. They both duke it out for cosmic supremacy and you will love every minute (As I did) The key to making a good comicbook movie is to create an atmosphere and build on the people involved. In Maguire Raimi has the best casting since Dolph Lundgren as The Punisher and the whole movie is just a fun time that is guaranteed to make you feel young again. (I felt like a 12 year old boy as I was howling with glee and just having fun) Those who still haven't been impressed with Marvel's comicbook adaptions will be instantly dazzled by this classic in the making. Far and away the best movie I have seen all year. D.Sam Raimi ***1/2 |
