why does Willem Dafoe need to wear that giant green goblin mask when it's identical to his normal facial expression

Great initial introduction to mass audiences and amazing casting (and acting by Dafoe.) still is way too cheesy and feels like it’s the 1963 run of Spidey which is great but feels so corny and bad sometimes. Quote: WGPCGR Character: JJJ Moment: Choose hero! 9/10
You know I’m something of a movie reviewer myself…. Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin steals the show and Tobey Maguire does a great job as both Spider-Man and Peter Parker!

Spider-Man’s origin story near faithfully brought to life from the comics. Tobey Maguire provides a good performance that millions fell in love with. Willem Dafoe plays a scary Green Goblin and acts as a foil to Spider-Man. The start of my love for the character of Spider-Man!

a lot of the special effects didn’t age well 💀 but i think that just added to the charm this movie was campy and over the top ridiculous and i really loved it, it was so fun to watch, i love green goblin and i cared about mary jane, such an iconic movie fr
Watching Spider-Man today exposes the 2000s era clichés written into the movie. As an introduction to Spider-Man as a character and concept, I feel the movie does well. Tobey M is my favorite Spider-Man to date, and Willem Dafoe is an incredible villain.

Wow, so many memories and nostalgia
I've seen this movie at least 30 times, but I never ever saw this in theaters on the big screen! It was unforgettable, and my favorite spiderman movie till date!
Metacritic
There's a particular upside-down, half-masked kiss that instantly becomes one of movie history's more memorable smooches. It's the kiss to send any teenaged boy on a spinning high, as well as launching the new age of arachnophilia.
Spider-Man may look like an action comic come to life, but its best feature is its romance comic heart. It's that rare cartoon movie in which the villain is less involving than the love story.
Despite all the computer-generated effects and highflying superhero theatrics, this roughly $120 million movie is, with few exceptions, remarkable only in its small human touches.
