Since I was bitten the other day, by one of those genetically enhanced RattBots that they have used to navigate those mazes by remote control, my neurotransmitters have been transmitting at a speed faster than the speed of light. This causes me to have a form of prescience, a 'Ratty Sense,' if you will.
My Ratty Sense was tingling, and had already told me that you would LOVE this flick. It is character driven, with plenty enough action to keep you from getting drowsy.
I KNEW Tobey Maguire would make a good Spiderman, and now, I can't imagine anybody else who could have played Spiderman as well as Maguire did.
It was wholesome too. EXCEPTIONALLY well done, and VERY true to the comic book, right down to Jonah Jameson at the newspaper always trying to make Spidey out to be the Bad Guy. Having Willem Dafoe playing the Green Goblin didn't hurt either.
And NO hidden political agenda, except an underlying message of most everything that is GOOD in America.
This movie is totally suitable for everyone. I like movies that families can see together without getting embarrassed or without the parents being bored silly with dumb kid stuff.
Dafoe is so freaky-looking, he was born to be a comic book villain, and the guy playing his son looked like his son.
Even though the movie was 2 hrs 15 minutes, it never dragged, nor did it have a frenetic pace that makes you dizzy. Though I felt a bit dizzy a couple of times because I'm not good with heights.
I agree Peter Parker was perfectly cast. Anyone could have played Mary Jane, it didn't matter, but Dunst was okay.
Fire broke out at a county jail in the mountains of western North Carolina, killing eight inmates who were trapped inside and injuring 13 other people, authorities said.
The cause of the fire still hadn't been determined Saturday morning. Nine Mitchell County jail inmates and three employees were being treated at hospitals, and a firefighter suffered smoke inhalation, authorities said.
Mark Broadway, the public information officer for Mitchell County, said the fire was reported just after 10 p.m. Friday. The jailer who called for help said about 15 inmates were trapped inside their cells.
