Summary: Lame story, lame special effects, lame acting
Review: Oh boy, I was such a huge Spiderman fan when I was a kid, so this movie came as a total disappointment. Very disappointing. Very, very. Maguire is terrible as Spiderman; he's almost like immature... The special effects are too obvious to be entertaining. Just a poorly made movie.

Summary: Great Movie, but disappointing extras
Review: I loved this movie and the DVD was well worth buying. I was somewhat disappointed with the extras. I was hoping to get deleted movie scenes that you often get with the DVD version. But no extra scenes are included on this one.

Summary: OVER-RATED TRASH
Review: This movie was mediocre at best.I was reading the other reviews & didn't know if I should laugh or cry.One guy was saying how Tobey Maguire was perfectly cast;I've seen more emotion out of a brick.The people that say the effects were so seemless should rush to the optometrist immediately. I mean come on,I thought I was watching a video game...from a few years ago.This movie is only slightly better than the FF movie from a few years ago.I can't believe the same company that did the effects for LOTR did these effects.Clearly they put all their energy into the far superior LOTR.Thank God Daredevil & X2 came out to wipe the bad taste of a poorly done superhero movie out of my mouth.

Summary: Give me a break!!!!
Review: sniff sniff, whats that smell? Oh that is the smell of teenagers. Can anybody tell me what this wonderful comic became? A teenie bopper movie. The CGI wasn't that good either, I mean there were tons of flick flubs with the cgi. Whats up with the organic webs?!!!?!!!! Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy this movie. I just don't think it deserves the credit everyone is making over it. Personally, I think the reason everyone enjoyed this movie was that they needed to feel good about New York city again. Obviously it worked. That is why I also feel that Daredevil was not given the time or day. It was dark, and New York was referred to as, "hells kitchen". Giving New York the feeling of being dirty again. Now don't get me wrong. Spiderman made me feel great about New York again, but once I let everything settle down, I saw the movie again. I realized that the movie wasn't that good. It was good, but not how everyone makes over it. I probably should have given three stars, but I wanted to draw attention to my post, and I'm too lazy to change. Should you purchase it? Yes, but don't worship like its the best thing in the whole entire world. Then go see Daredevil!!!

Summary: YAY comic books!
Review: This was a VERY faithful adaptation of a comic book to the big screen, with a few tuneups for today's generation (the original was written going on forty years ago). That being said, it's great, it's fun, it's positive for younger and older viewers without being TOO campy. It IS a comic book. If you're expecting realism, you're not being realistic enough to consider the source. Plenty of bonus goodies with a wealth of background for all the special features fanatics. No superficial pointless plot twists, no heavy handed preachy message (although the morality lesson conveyed IS valid and tactfully done without too much browbeating), and even the sexual tension is RELATIVELY innocent for the target age group. Would it win Academy awards? Not really. Should it? Not especially. Have fun with it; that's what practically every Sam Raimi film is designed for.

Summary: Great Movie, Great DVD.
Review: Colombia/Tri-Star do make very good DVDs and when they did the DVD release of Spider-Man, it turned out to be among the best in DVD production done to date. Disk one gives you a Widescreen Good Picture/Sound Quality Print of the movie, while disk two gives you some great behind the scenes films on how the movie was done. Included are the HBO special on the making of Spider-Man, and smaller film profiles of Composer Danny Elfman and Director Sam Raimi. All of which make you appeciate the hard work that was put into the movie, and keeps you going until the release of the second movie, which is being done by the same cast and film crew.

Summary: Sticky fingers
Review: People say this movie was awsome well in my case I thought it was... I will admit the film looks is entertaining when Spider-Man swings his webs, but that cannot coverrup this disastours, bland and boring action movie. I thought this movie was going to be really awsome and cool. I am sad Marvel produced this movie, but I really enjoyed Warner Bros, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I thought this movie will make me rate it 4 stars. I hope that you do not waste your money on this stupid uncool film. IT WAS HORRRRRRIBLE!

Summary: Good Movie, Lots Of Extras
Review: Here's my movie review:
First, I'll start with a synopsis. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) starts off as a normal geek trying to get the girl of his dreams (Kirsten Dunst). He then gets bit by a spider and gains some superhero powers. He puts on a costume and turns into Spider Man, and then goes out to stop crime and face down his enemy the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), who happens to be the father of his best friend (James Franco). Well, I didn't go into great detail but you get the point.Sure, this is a souless movie blockbuster, but it grabs your attention. Two hours may be to long to sit through a movie like this, and the movie may not change you or affect your life, but their is enough action to hold you over. The actors all turn in suprisingly good performances, even a scence-stealing JK Simmons as a newspaper reporter. I reccomend this movie to anyone in need of a two hour pleasure ride. Now, on to the DVD extras. Wow, two discs of extras. There are so many extras its unbelievable. Im not going to go into great depth for each one, but there are so many that you will have to spend days if you want to see each one. Movie: 4 stars
Extras: 5 stars
Total: 4.5 stars

Summary: Spider-man, Spider-man! Does whatever a spider can....
Review: This is a wonderful movie that is true to its comic book. It has followed the boundaries that were made for it. Tobey Maguire did a wonderful job as the one, the only, Spider-man! This is a movie that can hit close to home at some parts. It has so much eye candy that makes you want to watch it over and over again. The special effects were wonderful! I recommend this movie, although the plot isn't as profound or have as many hidden meanings as other movies, it's still a great find.

Summary: Spinning A Worthy Web
Review: Spider-Man is an entertaining film that is a great summertime, popcorn movie. The film explores the origins of the transformation of Peter Parker from nerdy high school student to the web slinging superhero Spider-Man. Tobey Maguire is quite good in the title role. He plays the character with the right amount of torment as an outcast who has been put down all his life, but injects pride, joy and happiness into the Peter from his newly bestowed powers. Kirtsen Dunst is Peter's next door neighbor, Mary Jane Watson. Ms. Dunst is not given much to work worth in the character, she is the requisite love interest, damsel in distress but she is appealing in the role. Willem Dafoe is plays the Green Goblin who is the villain in the film. The Goblin's alter ego is Norman Osborne who is the rich father of Harry (James Franco), Peter's best friend and roommate. Mr. Dafoe is perfectly cast as the Goblin and he handles the character's schizophrenic outbursts with creepy aplomb. Mr. Franco plays Harry sullenly and he appears as if he is moping through the picture. J.K. Simmons plays Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jameson as a pushy, demanding blowhard who listens only to himself with hilarious results. People have criticized the fighting and action scenes, but they are really no better or worse than most current action films. There are some Matrix like sequences with the slow motion, but these scenes actually help show Spider-Man's spider senses that allow him to anticipate and react quickly to danger. The film was a box office smash and we should expect to see numerous sequels that will hopefully be as appealing as the first installment.
