A decent start to a epic superhero franchise.
I am not the biggest fan of the 1st movie and much more enjoyed two and three but its still got some awesome set pieces in it.
The problem with this film is its a origin story and alot of origin stories are the same as its sort of a taster of better things and it was as spidey 2 and 3 are in my opinion much better films.
The villian in this to me is most the problem,the green goblin is a bit naff to me,i don't know if its Willem Dafoes acting or the daft sounding name but it just doesn't have the quite the same impact as a doc ock or venom,saying that the character does have some brill scenes including the two biggest set pieces in the movie.
The film makes up with it with the other actors,Tobey Maguire is fantastic as Peter Parker/Spidey,he is the only guy for the job really,Kirsten Dunst in both stunning and brave as Mary Jane,she has always been a top actress and James Franco gives a solid performance as Harry… more »

I'm not saying its a poor film as its not and its still one of the best comic book films ever plus the visual effects blow you away but its just a shame the whole movie didn't do the same,still there was better to come.
