After being buried in development hell for 25 years, the SPIDER-MAN character finally comes to life! Considering a $821 million gross revenue against $140 million in production cost, I'd say they were pretty darn successful... You could tell from this first-of-a-series episode that the foundations were being laid for further filmings. They did a good job. The movie provided the origins of Spider-Man, how a genetically altered spider bit Peter Parker and turned him into the legendary web-slinging superhero. His love for Mary Jane Watson. His guilt for the death of his uncle Ben. His battle against the villainous Green Goblin (WILLEM DAFOE). Great movie. Great cast.
