Review of Spider-Man (2002) by Kathryn S — 22 Mar 2014

Thanks to the "Amazing" reboots, it seems as if bashing the Raimi films is the new norm. While Spider-Man '02 isn't entirely faithful to the comics, and occasionally it's cheesy, there's no denying it's tons of fun.

Toby McGuire is an excellent Peter Parker and I found the film suitably cast. Boasting a fantastic musical score, likable characters, a colorful comic-book atmosphere, emotional layers and solid visual effects, Spider-Man '02 is a fun, rewarding and progressively underrated adventure.
