Damn fine movie, right up there with the best comic-book to movie conversions, in my opinion.
Tobey Macguire plays Peter Parker just right, beginning with the right level of nerdyness, and finding more confidence as he develops as Spiderman.
Willem Defoe has scary goblin teeth as it is, so is a top villian, though what I disliked most about the movie was the green-goblin's mask. I think it was it's teeth.
Kirsten Dunst has a bit of a wide face, but there's a nippletastic wet t-shirt scene which more than makes up for this.
Old wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage is in it too, which is funny, as he must really be getting on a bit now. "Bonesaw McGraw Oh yeah!"
So yeah, it's a fantastic story, with the origins of Spiderman, the characters are nicely rounded comic book characters, and thoroughly likeable, and I also thought that the script and dialogue was good stuff, showing that an action movie can have decent dialogue.
I'd recommend this highly, if you like the whole super hero thing.

Well said Ali. The wrestling bit was entertaining, but felt that it didn't really fit in with the rest of the film. Also, I agree that CGI special effects were used FAR too much in the film, and it was noticable rather easily where they had implemented it. Still, beats some old fart on a bungee cord I suppose :P
Great film, beats Micheal Keaton out by miles...

Why am I not surprised?
Later, we shall argue that the sky is not in fact blue just because everyone else says so.

Maybe it's just me that thought it was boring.
I fell asleep about two thirds through it...

Yes, it's better than X-Men and Batman Returns. I'm not sure about beating Batman...Give Spiderman time. I've actually got quite high hopes for The Hulk after seeing the teaser trailer. The Daredevil could have been good, but they've cast Ben "I suck if Kevin isn't the director" Affleck.
I seen it a while back, and enjoyed it.
Isn't the best film about superheros but is a long way from the worst.
Macho man bit was a laugh, and effects were cool. Maybe a bit too much CGI in it but they got away with it.

I was reading Sight and Sound today and they said Spiderman rocked, but best of all they revelaed that Freddie Prinze Jr. had "made known" his desires for the Spiderman role, in that oh-so subtle way that Hollywood cash cows are prone to do. Sam Raimi's response was to say "Freddie Prinze Jr won't even be allowed to a buy a ticket to see this film"
I'm going to see it after my exams are out the way and my expectations are growing all the time. In fact the only complaint I've heard is from those who have seen that roof jumping BBC man and then wondered why Spiderman needed to use CGI...
My question is... is it better than "Batman" and "Batman Returns"? Because at the moment they're the benchmark in comic book films, with "X-men" coming a close third.

I loved it, but got tired of the Green Goblins cackling?

William Dafoe must have had trouble memorising his lines.
