The movie's weakest point is that it fails in the single most important requirement for a comic book-based movie: The villain isn't unforgettably crazy or evil or larger-than-life. Peter's relationship with MJ is sweetly romantic. Spider-Man has a contemporary feel without being showily post-modern or ironic. Maguire is just right as Peter, the supporting cast is great, and the script is excellent, striking just the right note of respect and affection for the source material. His new alter ego is dubbed the Green Goblin for his bizarre armor-like covering. He, too, develops extraordinary power - and a mad fury. Meanwhile, Peter's best friend's father, industrialist Norman Osborn ( Willem Dafoe), has decided to try out his company's new product on himself. Great risk comes as well: Everyone Peter cares about is put in danger because of who he is. Peter plays around with his newfound superpowers but quickly learns that power comes with great responsibility. On a school field trip, he's bitten by a genetically engineered spider the next morning he wakes up with some distinctly arachnid-like qualities: He can see without his glasses, climb walls, eject webbing with the swinging power of rope and the strength of steel, and anticipate danger. In SPIDER-MAN, Toby Maguire stars as Peter Parker, a brilliant and sensitive high school student who's so deeply in love with his next-door neighbor Mary Jane ( Kirsten Dunst) that he can barely bring himself to say hello to her.
