While I wasn't happy with the selection of Tobey for Peter, I still managed to enjoy the movie. It was great for the time, and I was happy to see an actual Spider-Man movie in theaters, since the rights had been locked up for most of my lifetime. While it was great at the time, I don't believe it stands the test of time. As we move forward in super-movie history, they've gotten much better over the years, so that the early ones don't measure up to the newest releases, IMHO.
