So, watched this recently and I enjoyed it for the most part. Tobey Maguire's performance was up and down. His attempts at being wholesome apple pie were cringe at times but the end with MJ was solid and the confrontation with Osborn at the end was good as well as car scene with Ben Parker. Willem Dafoe looked like he was having a blast playing Norman and it shows, pretty good campy performance from him. The pacing my goodness felt like I had whiplash at times. Peter's in high school at the start, 20 minutes in bitten by the spider 4 min after that the "great power great responsibility" moment. By the 30 minute mark uncle died graduated high school and already working at the Daily Bugle...it's like "wow can we slow down a second. James Franco looked amazingly like James Dean here both channeling his performance and looks. All in all a fun movie.
