Although the script has some holes and sappy speeches almost as vomit inducing as Pearl Harbor's, I found this movie to be quite enjoyable. It's loaded with plenty of special effects, action scenes and humor to make up for it.

At first, one might think that Tobey Maguire was not right for the part of Super-Man, but I think he pulled it off quite nicely. Apparently he worked out like a madman for months to be Spider-Man material, and I'd have to say that it worked--he's ripped.

Kirsten Dunst did a fairly good job, especially when you consider the script she was given. And when they throw in a gratuitous wet t-shirt nipple scene, all is forgiven.

Willem Dafoe plays the schizophrenic villan quite well. He is especially good at maniacal laughter, which every real villan must have. And, you know, whenever I walk into my house and hear evil laughter coming from upstairs, the first thing I think and say is 'Dad, is that you?'

This is definitely a movie to see on the big screen. I'm sure it will be around for a while, so if you haven't seen it already you've got some time.
