An average movie

I wonder if I did see this movie in the movie-theater when it was released. Anyway, it was pretty neat to see it again after all these years. First of all, in my opinion, I do believe that this movie grew old very well. Sure, the CGI seems a little bit outdated if you compare it with that they can do today, the special effects still look pretty neat. Above all, it is really obvious that the MCU owes a lot to this movie. Indeed, this movie basically proved 3 things. First, the technology was finally advanced enough to create something visually appealing and believable. Second, comic-book movies could be a lot of fun, not only for the fans but also for the casual viewers. And, finally, there was a lot of money to be made from this genre, a huge amount of money. Coming back to our main feature, I have noticed that many complained about the casting choices but I thought that they all did a fine job and Dafoe was just perfect to play the Green Goblin. What I enjoyed the most is how they managed to add some fun into this tale, especially when Peter discovers his new skills. It was just great and I wish they kept this tone throughout the whole thing because, as soon as the whole thing tried to become dark and serious, it pretty much fell apart, I'm afraid. Indeed, unfortunately, every time there was a dramatic moment, it was seriously not convincing, cheesy and rather cringe-inducing and that would be something that they would unfortunately never manage to fix in this franchise. Anyway, to conclude, even though it didn't completely convince me, it is still a really solid blockbuster and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
