This will be the beginning of the Marvel Comics floodgate opening into every f*cking summer.
Spider-Man was good. It stayed to the essence of the comic book by making Peter Parker and how being Spider-Man affect his life.

Kirsten Dunst is turing into a sexpot all of the sudden.

What I liked:
-Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man...I mean, as Peter Parker
-William Dafoe's mirror scences
-J.K. Simmons as J.J.Jameson. Perfect. This was the best casting since Patrick Stewart as Professor X
-The fact that him and Mary Jane DIDN'T get together after the movie.
-The scenes of Parker practicing.
-The scene with Green Goblin and Spider-Man immobilized...tres comic booky
-The fact that Spider-Man's costume got all fucked up in the end and they did the half mask/half face thing that happnes all the time.
-The bomb going off in Spider-Man's face in slo-mo
-The fight between Peter and Flash Thompson.
-The reference to Eddie Brock (aka Venom) and Dr. Connors (aka the Lizard)

What I didn't like:
-The Green Goblin mask-I wish they did something where his mouth would move
-THE FACT THAT THEY KILLED THE GREEN GOBLIN (maybe). I'm tired of comic book movies killing main villans. Now the Gwen Stacy story, which I was praying would be the sequel is a no go (unless Harry Osborn carries out the deed).
-Not enough Daily Bugle scenes
-James Franco's line readings...looking like James Dean doesn't get you a free pass.
-The fact that non one could figure out the Green Goblin was Osborn even though all the stuff was from his company
-The fact that they didn't so how Parker made his suit
-Some of the action sequences were too fast
-That Flash was a moron and could not be perceived as "attractive" as he is in the comic book.

What was hilarious:
-That whimper Maguire let out during the last fight with the Green goblin. Me and my friends almost pissed ourselves
-Bruce Campbell cameo.
