Storyline
Based on Marvel Comics' superhero character, this is a story of Peter Parker who is a nerdy high-schooler. He was orphaned as a child, bullied by jocks, and can't confess his crush for his stunning neighbourhood girl Mary Jane Watson. To say his life is "miserable" is an understatement. But one day while on an excursion to a laboratory a runaway radioactive spider bites him... and his life changes in a way no one could have imagined. Peter acquires a muscle-bound physique, clear vision, ability to cling to surfaces and crawl over walls, shooting webs from his wrist ... but the fun isn't going to last. An eccentric millionaire Norman Osborn (William Dafoe) administers a performance enhancing drug on himself and his maniacal alter ego Green Goblin emerges. Now Peter Parker has to become Spider-Man and take Green Goblin to the task... or else Goblin will kill him. They come face to face and the war begins in which only one of them will survive at the end. |

USA, 2002. Directed by Sam Raimi. Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Cliff Robertson, Rosemary Harris.
This comic-book action hero movie is likeable enough, with Tobey Maguire aquitting himself well in the title role. Willem Dafoe, always reliable, seems to have born to play baddies but here manages to get the most out of his Jekyll-Hyde character. Kirsten Dunst is suitably "girl-next-door" and veterans Cliff Robertson and Rosemary Harris excellent as Parker's uncle and aunt. The action sequences are - well - full of action, and the vulnerability of the central character is well expressed. In the hands of Sam Raimi, this delivers the goods without being outstanding.

It's well done, I suppose, but I'm not interested enough in the Spider-Man character to really get into it. I don't like Tobey Maguire very much.
