For the second film of the month we have Spider-Man 

First off, we have the story which has Peter Parker who after being bitten by a genetically modified spider gains spider-like abilities that he eventually must use to fight evil as a superhero after tragedy befalls his family. I thought the story was very entertaining with some great moments throughout. 

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were in terms of acting mixed with the main standout being Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man as he balanced the awkwardness of Peter as well as he learns to be Spider-Man. Then there were Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane and James Franco as Harry Osborn who provide good supporting roles. William Dafoe as Norman Osborn worked as the villain sometimes with his acting being the most mixed.

As for the film's visuals I thought were pretty good with the effects being hit or miss throughout bu the visuals for the action to show the fights were good. Now we have the action which I thought was entertaining as thrilling as Spider-Man tried to save the city from the Green Goblin and because of who they truly are the battles became more personal. Moving onto the tone of the film which managed to balance the action and dramatic moments with the fun and adventurous parts to make it more entertaining. I thought the soundtrack of the film was a good mixture of action based tracks as well as tracks that suited the superhero aspects. 

Overall, I thought this film was a very good film and going back to see the original Spider-Man trilogy will be interesting after hearing so many things about each film. This one was an enjoyable start and and they are building other aspects for later films which will be intriguing. 

I give Spider-Man a score of 7/10
