This simply has to be the greatest tale that marvel has put to the screen. It has the emotional pull of any great film that may come to mind. It is a full blown story inside a comic book character's setting. They accomplish what the Hulk Dreamed of, but was unable to actualize. Sam Raimi's vision is not wasted on a single frame. The opening credits stand as a testament to the vision and complexity of the film that you are about to endure. Everything from character development to special effects, is simply... brilliant. The actors really go that extra mile, and the story sets up for the 3rd installment seamlessly, but still leaves you guessing as to who the villain might be. Cheers to the entire cast and crew for a truly amazing job!!! cant wait for 2006 (and that may be the only problem with spiderman 2)!!!!!!
