Starring- Tobey Maguire,Kirsten Dunst,Willem Dafoe,James Franco Director- Sam Raimi
Spiderman was one of the biggest and most anticipated movie of its time
and rocketed its lead superhero to great heights.Directed by Sam Raimi
(director of Evil Dead Trilogy) and starring Tobey Maguire it propelled
both to super stardom.
Spiderman is played by Tobey
Maguire.Even though he has done good work as Spiderman, he isnt the
perfect choice for the web slinging superhero.Spiderman is known for
being a smartass,and for delivering puns and catchy lines.And even
though the movie does show Spiderman doing such stuff ,his alter ego
(Peter Parker) is still the nerdy kid we saw prior to his change.Tobey
doesnt let the audience believe even for a second that he could be the
guy delivering the lines but instead only manages to convince that hes
extremely a shy guy. Willem Dafoe as Green Goblin does a great
job.James Franco doesnt get enough time to properly let his character
develop,while Kirsten Dunst also is ok as Mary Jane.
The
Spiderman origin is one of the well known stories of all time.The writer
(David Koepp) sticks to it and theres not many twists.The rest of the
story is well maintained.
Sam Raimi,brings to Spiderman the fun
level that mirrors the comics.Its campy and colourful but it doesnt go
overboard and maintains a balance between fun & cheesy.The movie
starts off slow ,but once Spidey hits the screen,its a fast paced action
movie till the end.
The movie will relate more to teenagers
,but it manages to engage everyone.The visual effects on Spiderman are
spot on and takes the audience on a breathtaking ride through the
streets of New York.
On release Spiderman shattered single day
collection records among many as it opened with $114million ,the biggest
at that time.It was the highest grossing movie of 2002 in the US.At
present ,it currently is at #31 in the all time charts ($821million) and
#13 in the domestic charts ($404million) [as of 18/7/12]
Overall the movie is a crowd pleaser ,and extremely fun for all ages.A must watch.
REC3 is the third part of the REC series and takes place at a wedding
and not a continuation of REC2. REC is one of the best horror movies ive
seen ,and im excited for REC3 as well. (PS:Its in spanish)
