Summary: Fun Movie!
Review: I was never much into the Spider-Man comic books,but I decided to go see this movie anyway.It turned out to be a pretty good movie.The funnest parts for me were when Spider-Man was flying through NYC shooting his webs.This may sound a bit strange,but at times I almost felt like I was right there flying with him!!!This movie dragged on a little at times,but overall I was quite satisfied in my choice of seeing this film.Can't wait for the DVD and Spider-Man 2,should be fun!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spider-Man Is The Summer Movie To See
Review: I have seen Spider-Man four times since it has bin released and I must say it rocks! It is one of the best movies I have seen all summer. Sam Rami dose a wonderful directing job, Toby Maguire delivers a great acting performance as Peter Parker and Spider-Man. The story line follows the comics, and the charector follow that of the comics. I must admit, I have not always bin a "Spidey" fan, but since I have seen the movie I now know the origan of Spider-Man and how his adventures startd! Spider-Man is a must see movie!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Second Best Superhero film of all time
Review: This was the most exciting, action packed, yet human, of any superhero film made to date. For overall quality, it is second only to the first Batman movie with Jack Nicholson's over the top portrayal of the Joker. It blows away the cheezy Superman movies. The top three of the genre, in order, are Batman, Spider-man and the X-Men. Tobey Maguire is perfectly cast as the socially awkward Peter Parker and Willem Dafoe is a tremendous Green Goblin/Norman Osborn. The special effects, acting and screenwriting warrant five stars.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Over the top, or over the web...
Review: Incredible special effects in this vivid telling of how Spider-Man came to be, well, Spider-Man. Maguire is good in the lead. All style and no substance, but it does do a good job of explaining the character's history. No one who reads the original Marvel comics will remember Spidey getting in the ring with Macho Man (but then again, they've probably never heard of the EVIL DEAD, which would be a blessing if they haven't), but this film is a worthy companion to the excellent animated series produced in the 90s upon which its based. Raimi's direction is not Oscar material, but at least he didn't use that god-awful shaki-cam (or Sam Ram-a-cam). Rated PG-13; mild carnage and violence.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Entertaining, but poor as a film
Review: Spiderman is a relatively entertaining film which is not unpleasant to watch. However, it is ridiculously predictable and has too obvious an agenda. Despite the fact that I don't read comics at all, I could predict everything before it happened. The goodie and baddie were far too clichéd and the whole thing could drop into pastiche frequently.

As for it's purpose, it is far too obvious. Spiderman starts out as a geek and is transformed into a guy with superpowers who is then also attractive to the girl. This is a blatant geek's dream and the film is obviously made so that geeks think 'wow, I could be like that'. This makes the whole thing horribly contrived. Films should be made as a good film, not something with an agenda like that.

Furthermore, the kind of cheesy sentimentality that marks this film out make it worse. 'With great power comes great responsibility' is a horribly cheesy phrase with makes me want to puke. Equally annoying is the 'America is great, everybody' notion unnecessarily imprinted on it. We did not need a shot of the American flag to close out the film, nor do we need all the subtle references throughout the film.

Other annoyances include the fact that when he has to come to the big decision of saving the girl or the boxful of kids, there is a predictable cop-out of him saving both. Overall, while enjoyable, this film is predictable and too purposeful and obvious in its message, making it cheesy. 2 stars.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: not too bad ...
Review: Is Spiderman entertaining? Mostly. However, when this movie goes bad, it goes really bad. The awful way the sequel setup manages single handedly to knock the rating down a star. The acting is adequate for a summer movie (though Willem Defoe rocks), and the effects are good (also expected for a summer movie). I like that a moral is included (or beaten in). The fight scenes are just OK, and the pacing could be sped up a little. Best movie ever? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: WHY? WHY?????
Review: Ok, this is an 'ok' movie for kids. But seriously, it's HORRIBLE! I saw it as a 12:00 midnight showing for [less money] and im still [angry] about seeing it. Terrible visuals! Sam is a terrible director for several reasons. The acting is bad, the camera work is bad, perspective of things alters, and it doesn't make any sense! If spider-man DIDN'T jump out of the way at the end of the movie, the green goblin would be dead anyway! (I hope i'm ruining this for someone). However, i'm not all complaints here: from this horrible, horrible script with terrible dialog, they made an 'ok' movie. Notice how I say movie, not film...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spider-Man Is The Best Movie of 2002
Review: I don't really like fullscreen DVD's, but I wanted to be the first one to review this DVD. Spider-Man is pretty much one of the best superhero films next to Batman. I'm so glad that Danny Elfman composed the music. He is my favorite music composer. Sam Raimi did good direction for this film, and Tobey Maguire did good as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. I am very excited to get this DVD when it comes out on Nov. 1. I will definitely be getting it the first day it comes out.

Rating: 5 stars
