Very enjoyable movie, true to the spirit of the comics in most ways. > > It has Sam Raimi's trademark camera work, which certainly works for superheroes. It's a bit frenetic at times, and might not be for the easily motion sick, but it fits. > > The casting was good, I thought, top to bottom. I think the most fun was probably had by the guy that played J. Jonah Jameson; he completely captured the essence of that blustery blowhard. As for the leads, Tobey was great as Peter, I thought, and Kirsten combined innocence and sexiness in a fine Mary Jane. > > The effects are pretty good. There are a couple of spotty bits, but nothing too jarring. > > It's not going to win any Oscars, but it's a fun movie well worth seeing, and it keeps the core conceit of the Spider-Man story: With great power, comes great responsibility. > SpiderMan Made 41.4 million dollars on - the - first - day -. xponent Kick Cash Maru rob
