Spider-Man
A Weak Beginning
2.5/4 stars

The origin story of Spiderman is handled as well as can be by Sam Raimi, but Spiderman is himself a cartoonish character and the film's action scenes don't hold the same weight or urgency as other modern super hero franchises. I also don't like Tobey Maguire's whiney portrayal of the title role, though William Dafoe chews the scenery menacingly as the villain. The franchise got it right with the sequel, however - one of the best hero films ever.
