Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Spider-Man (2002)

Maguire's perfect as the geeky hero in spandex. I especially liked the early cage match scene. Dunst isn't much of a presence, but neither is she a detraction. I can see that Franco (Harry) could turn into a sympathetic villain. The graphics were, at times, a little too noticeable - especially when standing in for Parker during web-slinging scenes. They moved like graphics...too quick and rubbery. But, really, with a strong story and brooding cast, that's a quibble.
