...film, directed by Sam Raimi and written by David Koepp, is a faithful adaptation of the Stan Lee original--faithful to a fault. Spidey, a.k.a. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire), is still the teen dweeb from Queens with a crush on the girl next door (Kirsten Dunst), a dose of genetically altered spider DNA in his veins and a compulsion to save the world from the gaudy Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe).

...where nobody is paying attention, who does what any thirteen year old would do with too much time on his hands. Fifty percent of the kids we deal with as educators are in his position, so Hank's difficulties are commonplace, and there's no one at fault...
