Batman and The Green Goblin
There's a lot to admire in Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man film, but I think on major misstep was the look of the Green Goblin. I've read comparisons to Power Ranger costumes and between the monochrome bodysuit and unmoving face, I can see where they are coming from. The body armor type suit was fine, but if they had thrown on a tattered putple tunic over it, it would have looked cooler and closer to the comics. for the mask, I would have tried to allow for more of Willem DaFoe's expressive performance show through. It was hard enough with Spider-Man's face completely concealed, it gets tough for an audience to engage with the characters when both hero and villain are covered up.

Agreed! Hating the hollywoodization of my comic book movies. There hasn´t been one that has gotten it right yet except Watchmen.
Wow, been a long time since anyone commented on this. Love you green goblin!
