This was the movie that got me hooked on super hero films. Spiderman was always one of my favourite comic book characters and I never missed an episode of the 90s animated series so I had big hopes and I wasn't disappointed. Toby McGuire is perfect for Spiderman and William Dafoe's portrayal of Green Goblin is one of the all time great bad guy performances and one of the best of his career. Watching the film again in 2020, the CGI sadly doesn't hold up and the costume for Green Goblin looks a bit of a joke now (I literally laughed) but everything else is still great - story, acting, fight scenes and faithfulness to the source material. A comic book nerds dream. Favourite scene is the fight in the burning building.
