Episode 19 - Spider-Man (2002)

A great thinker and out-of-work electrician once said, "With
great power comes great responsibility." 2002's MTV Movie
Award-winner for Best Kiss, "Spider-Man," failed to live up to
the great responsibility of its $140M budget and spun a web of
awful performances, lame special effects, and jokes that fell
flat.


58-year-old Tobey Maguire plays a teenage Peter Parker, a puny
orphaned nerd who dreams in vain of getting the girl next door
until a magical mutant spider bites him while he is on a class
field trip and changes him into a muscular half-man, half-spider
full of baby batter.


Kirsten Dunst plays Mary Jane, a vapid aspiring actress who
changes boyfriends every five seconds until she sees how far
Spider-Man can shoot his trouser gravy and falls in love.


James Franco plays Harry Osborn, a whiny rich brat who pretends
to be Peter Parker's best friend while he secretly
goes behind his back and steals the love of Peter's life.


Willem Dafoe plays Dr. Osborn, the father of Harry and a
scientist who turns himself into a psychopathic
supervillain, the Green Goblin. And Dafoe is such a method actor,
that he still looks like a goblin to this day.
