Saw the early showing. This is a solid movie all around.,the best Marvel has done yet.

I did too! I took the afternoon off and found myself wandering over to Celebration Cinema to catch the 12:50 p.m. showing.

This is a GREAT movie. The most engagingly human comic book screen adaptation made so far. The character portrayals were true to source (well, if you think of MJ as Gwen), and the acting did not disappoint. Kirsten Dunst was outstanding, as was the guy who played JJJ; Maguire was believable, and Dafoe couldn't have been better in his role as the maniacal GG. I liked this movie more than I liked Lord of the Rings--I will see it again, soon.

IMO, Dafoe stole this movie with his performance. If he would have had 10 to 15 more minutes of screen-time they would have had to call this movie the 'Green Goblin'. Man, did he get into character.

This is a great movie, but it's not 'Lord of the Rings'. If the next two installments, of Tolkien's trilogy, are as good as LOTR, the bar will be set so high that it'll be all but impossible for any other film to measure up.
