Well Deserved Praise
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
I know a lot of people like this movie, but hear me out: this is not a good movie. This is most due to the fact that every second of Tobey Maguire's acting makes me cringe. He gets way too much credit for this movie. I also thought the Green Goblin villain was weak, despite a strong Willem Dafoe performance. The only part of this movie I ended up enjoying was J.K. Simmons' J. Jonah Jameson, who was well-acted and hilarious. This movie, also, every time I see it, can't help feeling campy. I'm sure at the time, this was probably a (small) step up for superhero cinema, but movies like the Dark Knight, which is celebrating its ten year anniversary at the time I'm writing this still have a huge impact all those years later, whereas this just doesn't feel special anymore.

Spider-man is one of the most famous superheroes and this movie does very well to maintain the image of the comic character. And the innocence of Toby Maguire and his beautiful chemistry with Kirsten is wins hearts. This movie has deeper dimensions as it expresses the philosophical dimensions of power- with great power comes great responsibility. This is a great work that shows that each one of us has a superhero within us, we just need to unlock it. The fight sequences with green goblin are interesting. Overall a great watch.
He is to old and buff why is he in high school at that age
