He is awkward with the woman he loves, but eloquent when dealing with the familiar, just as most teenagers are even today. Maguire was outstanding at being a guy who can rarely catch a break, but attract difficulty with ease and aplomb. The acting is the finest portion of the film with the leads giving us depth that I was unsure would be allowed by the style of story chosen. The Crow was the only other good comic book movie in my opinion, but it was not an all ages fun ride as this is! I had the privilege of seeing the film last night, 4-30-02, in SF with the press and 300+ other folks for its "Bay Area Premiere". This film however has again demonstrated that an adaptation of a comic book story can be fun and faithful to the story, yet be a film for all ages and those who may not have ever even read a comic book.
I am very critical of comic book movies since I am a huge fan of the medium and was tremendously disappointed in the Superman and Batman movies (all of them, some greatly!). Poignant, fun and a faithful adaptation to the original comic book.
