Spider-Man! Where are you coming from Spider-Man? Nobody knows who you are! This is the Web-head people love, talk about, and look up too. He’s one of the greatest superheroes of all time and this is his movie review.
Everyone who has heard of Spidey knows how he got his powers: a spider bit him. That’s all they know. This movie is a good story to watch in case you never read the original source material. You’ll know most of what his origin is in the comics. It’s fun and filled with information.
When it comes to acting and casting decisions, most of it is well done. Tobey Maguire is the one exception. His Spider-Man is a little too emo and depressing. That isn’t the web slinger everyone knows and loves. Tobey does it well, but he needs to be more upbeat, happy, and funny. The audience doesn’t need to see Spider-Man cry every fifteen minutes.
The chemistry is well done with Norman Osborne and the characters that interact with him the most. Before he becomes The Green Goblin, he cares for James Franco’s character and has good moments with Peter Parker.
The “threatening” scenes with The Green Goblin are the least intimidating anyone will ever see. The main reason is because the Goblin’s costume looks really silly. It looks like an un-scary robot, not the Goblin fans have come to know and love. The mask for the costume is the worst part. It looks like a plastic Party City mask.
The biggest problem with Spider-Man, not only in this movie, but in all three, is that he is not very funny. He barely makes any jokes and when he does, they feel out of character and misplaced for the Spider-Man they set up in the movies. The hero we knew in the comics constantly made jokes when he fought anyone. That aspect of the character is not in the movies as much as it should be. It isn’t the friendly neighborhood wall crawler everybody knows.
The CGI never seemed to get better throughout the movies, with the exception of the swinging scenes. Those affects look good on any screen. The scenes when Spider-Man is moving in the air or climbing walls looked like they belonged in the video games for the movies. It was really unconvincing.
The score is perfect for Spider-Man. It’s heroic and brave. The composer, Danny Elfman, is familiar with these types of soundtracks. He is very well known for composing the score for the 1981 film Batman. That’s why this was a good fit for Spider-Man, Elfman knows how to put characters in his music.
This movie shows why Spider-Man is a hero we can all respect. It shows that he will always be an example for those who are lost and because of those meanings it is a matinee! Spider-Man taught the audience that “With Great film making, Comes a Great movie.”
