be careful on how you word that; might be easier to type out Spider-Man rather than refer to going to and enjoing S-M. Just a thought... :-) > > the movie, the web shooting is introduced as part of the result of the > spider bite he gets yeah, that was cool though, when he was trying to figure out to work it > and he just shows up in the slick-looking costume, > which I thought looked great. great costume; I kept waiting for a scene when he went to a costume store or someplace. He looked great in that costume. But where did the costume come from?

Dafoe added a lot of dimension to the character, the character was so full of torment and added to the depth. (Wonder if the good side of that character - Dr Osborrn? - realized the Green Goblin was bombing a building where his son was, just a thought.) I see in the paper that the next flick, with Raimi directing again and Maguire and Durst signed for at least two more, wil feature Dr Octpus and the Lizard. > And the last patriotic scene I felt was a cheesy > last-minute add-on after the Sept. 11 attack. Oh yeah, I agree, way too obvious. > But all that aside, I too > enjoyed it very much and thought the characters were great. I'm sure we'll > be at the sequels too! Yeah, despite all the above, what a fun flick! I watched a thing on MTV today, the MTV special to introduce Spider-Man (great marketing concept) and it was such a rush to see the film clips, especially after seeing the movie. I just really thought it was all such fun! I'd go see this movie again right now if I didn't have other stuff to do. It was just a blast to have such fun at the movies. I never even finished my pop and barely finished the popcorn, a sure test of how enthralled I am. > Thanks for sharing your comments. You too! I have never read the comics, so your insights from that were very helpful, along with everything else you said! (the Rev) Vince
