Tobey Maguire was very believable as the gawky teenager in the early part of the film and then, after his run-in with the radioactive, genetically engineered spider, as the athletic, acrobatic superhero of the title. Director Sam Raimi kept the action quotient high, but also emphasized the human element of the story. I thoroughly enjoyed "Spider-Man," which I saw in a screening.
