Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, AWESOME, awesome. 🙂
Probably the best film of the year for me – was instantly hooked and drawn along – I laughed, I cried, I marvelled at the cinematographer, I sat on the edge of my seat.
I’m a huge fan of the Spiderman animation on TV, and I felt like this film captured that perfectly. Whoever cast Tobey Maguire is a genius, what a wonderful Spidey/PP! I was slightly less enamoured with Kirsten Dunst as MJ. Her acting was acceptable, but the character just seemed a little shallow and ditzy somewhere, which is a shame because I’m very taken with the comic’s MJ.
But the story is dealt with beautifully, the special effects are but perfect (best use of bullet-time post-Matrix), casting spot on (except perhaps MJ) – simply breathtaking.
Best of all, I watched the credits going “Noooo – you can’t stop now”!! Possibly Spiderman II is now my most eagerly awaited forthcoming film (although it’s a close run thing with all the sequels that are on the way)
