Ratings and reviews

They hit all the key points in this movie and it is a splendor to look at. Good character development along with generous amounts of action put this movie on top for me. Tobey Maguire does a great job as the wise cracking Spidey we all know and love. Alfred Molina's performance as Doc Ock was spot on and added to the appeal of this movie.

I gave this film 3 stars because while it's a great film it has some pitfalls. Spider-man's not invulnerable. During the fight sequences with Ock, he was shrugging off waaay to much punishment. And why did spider-man lose his abilitys simply due to a lack of self confidence?

Best of the three Raimi spidermans. More suit, great villain, great action, great story. Kirsten Duntz is not Mary Jane. But i got over it enough to enjoy this film.
