Summary: A blockbuster of great proportions
Review: Every year there's at least one big blockbuster. It may only be June but it's here already in 'Spiderman', the adaptation of the comic-book character. A movie brimming with character, stunning special effects and a cluster of great actors, it's understandable why it's become such a hit.The movie starts with the perhaps controversial casting of Maguire in the central role as nerdy Peter Parker. He's dull, geeky and in love with the girl-next-door (Dunst). One day though, after being bitten by a genetically-modified spider he becomes Spiderman, superhero to the people of New York. Fortunately Maguire works not only as Parker, as we'd all expected him to, but also as Spiderman. Anyone who's seen him as a disaffected teen in 'The Ice Storm' will know that he's a fantastic actor and he really does pull it off with incredible panache here. The most important thing is that Spiderman/Parker and Maguire are so easy to relate to. He's picked on with no friends and there won't be a single person who isn't rooting for him when he finally gets to beat up Flash, the school bully and domineering boyfriend of Dunst's Mary Jane. Of course, the rest of the cast are perfect as well. Dunst is just adorable, although hopefully she won't be typecast after hitting the big league with this movie. Dafoe is equally good as Spiderman's nemesis, The Green Goblin. The idea of the split personality as we watch him effectively battle himself in front of a mirror is very good indeed. Yet the real star is undoubtedly Maguire, who gets to do a whole range of emotions from nerdy to strong to sad, all of which he handles well. Significantly this is a movie that doesn't stint on either the action or the metaphor. Every action scene is stunningly produced as Spiderman makes New York his jungle playground, jumping from rooftop to rooftop and swinging from buildings. Yet the metaphor of adolesence is trodden out with care, and there's even some discussion of what it means to be a superhero. For instance, the people turn against him and Parker realises that being a hero means distancing, even losing, the ones that he loved. Indeed, the ending is particularly impressive in that it's utterly unexpected. All of this and it is a true blockbuster, managing to balance stunning action scenes with romance, sadness and light humour. Watch out for the upside-down kissing scene, surely one of the best movie kisses of all time. Here is a superhero that the audience can relate to, presented in a movie that plays it straight rather than cartoonish. Importantly, it makes you anticipate the sequel with bated breath.

Summary: OUr favorite Superhero comes to the theatres.
Review: This movie was one of the best ones I have ever seen in my entire life. Its about Peter Parker who falls in love with a girl called Mary Jane Watson. He gets bitten by a spider and has the sensation of super powers. My favorite seen, My favorite seen was when he was wrestling Bone Saw and when He was doing spirals in the air dodging the hook like things that the goblin was throwing....
Oh, that reminds me, the goblin looked a little fake, but other then that it was a great movie.

Summary: GOOD SPECIAL EFFECTS, GOOD STORY, NOT WORTH THE HYPE!
Review: The first thing that comes to mind when a Superhero film is made is how much is releated to the comics and how many element changes were made.
Though I am a Superman fan, by putting down this Spiderman movie your probably thinking I am comparing well ok Superman 2 is a classic that will always remain top of the pile.
But lets concentrate on this film, some element changes have been made to this comic hero, for starters his suit, the darker red and blue, kind of pulls that comic book feel out of the film and lacks beauty of the original from the series.
The story was good but the movie in my eyes moved past to quickly for me, everything kind of was happening at once.
Green Goblin's suit was made of armour in this film, in the comics it was a tight costume which looked much better.
The special effects were well done, but from someone who is computer minded like me, I kind of felt that a lot of the web swinging and climbing up walls looked unreal.
Spiderman opened in cinemas 14th June in the UK here and lets just say that a few of us were kind of disappointed.
Hollywood its back to the drawing board.

Summary: Shocker
Review: I was pleasantly shocked at the creativeness of this movie. The effects were amazing to say the least. The movie theatre was packed full of very small children, my 5 year old sitting beside me, my other 3 older children close by, and the place was totally silent. Glued to the screen they were captivated from the beginning to the end. I was very skeptical that Tobey Maguire could be a Super Hero, he enters as such a quiet, meek and shy boy but becomes this sweet, caring do-gooder that you can't help but love. I have never been a Spider Man fan, but I can't wait for a sequel. They better keep Tobey though, nobody else could pull it off.

Summary: No match: the best superhero movie of our times
Review: I can't believe J. Shannon's review: third place after Superman and Batman! There is no match: for sure Batman falls well behind Spiderman. Spiderman delivers far more fun, more action, more character development, more realism (the New York setting is much better than the gothic/appalling Gotham City), more entertainment, more thrill, more!
Tobey is a perfect Spiderman and the movie is the one you could see again many times. Batman is too dark and boring.
Superman was nearly perfect for its time, as much as Spiderman is for ours. So I would put Spidey at the first place, together with Superman with a second place reserved to X-Man... for sure NOT Batman!
2002 CGI is not perfect, of course, and Episode II is the clear example (the incredibly unreal Anakin riding the monster in the arena sequence is unbelievable from a Lucas movie!), but I was less distracted from Spiderman's CGI than by the Episode II scenes.
I can't wait to see Spiderman "flying" again through NY buildings.

Summary: Review on Spiderman
Review: Spiderman is a new movie still in theaters. It's based on a cartoon but it has real people in it. This movie could be compared to Batman becasue they were both cartoons made into a movie with real people. I think Spiderman is a bit more realistic because it mciht actually happen that he would get bitten by a deadly spider and instead of killing him strange things happen. Not quite as strange in real life but it's fiction movie so it doesn't matter.
The actor that plays in Spiderman was the main character on Pleasentville. Tobey Macguire. This shows that Macguire can play in nearly any movie with any script because Pleasentville and Spiderman are completely different.
This movie was good because it had a little bit of all kinds of genre in it. There was action, comedy, romance, science-fiction, and the part with the Green Goblin could even be considered fantasy! It was really good also becuase of the incredible graphics. When Spiderman was swinging through the sity with his web it looked real!
The only thing that could use changing is the Spiderman versus the Green Goblin part. At that part you can tell what's going to happen. Even though it's full of action and fighting it's not as exciting as it could be.
Spiderman is probably good for people age four to fifty. It's too loud and would upset people under four and has to much blood and violence for most fifty-year-olds. All in all I think Spiderman was a really good movie!

Summary: "SPIDERMAN'S" NEXT VILLAIN...MIKE TYSON??
Review: I was eagerly anticipating the big fight, where "Spidey" takes on "Iron Mike"...why, you may ask? Every idiot who's played 'Mike Tyson's Punch Out' knows that the action sequences in Spiderman were all digital. And, for that matter, the quality wasn't much better...every sequence with Spiderman, to me, was at best the equivalent of the digital Randy Moss from 'Madden 99'. Was there only $$ forty-nine ninety-nine in funds allocated to the special effects budget? Also, a mild irritant during the picture was Willem Dafoe's somewhat "meaningless" presence in the picture. One of the things superb "comic" books have, in general, is an adequate nemesis for the hero. It makes one's heroic deeds that much more..."heroic." Lex Luther and Magneto (of Supermman and XMen fame, respectively), were ambitious "thinking men's" men, had purpose, and, ultimately, were the driving force of the story. What was the "Green Goblin's" purpose? To wreak havoc?...well, unfortunately, that was it. Dafoe's mere presence was a joke...he looked like a reject "Mighty Morphin Power Ranger," and spoke as if he were dubbing his lines from a remote soundstage in Kyoto after smoking 12 packs of Camels. His "villany" was totally ineffective, uninteresting, and half-concocted.

Summary: Along came a spider!
Review: Spider-man is great. Great visual effects, just as fast (or rather slow) as the matrix. It has it all-great characters, great plot, great special effects and of coarse great sound editing! It is almost exactly like the comics/tv cartoons! Probably one of the only differences are that... I'll let you know after you watch it (don't want to spoil it). This movie is worth watching! It's worth the wait that all Spider man fans have been waiting for. It's a film that's appealing to children, teenagers, and adults! I haven't met anyone who hates it! It has both romance and humor! Dunst and Maguire are perfect for the role! It's a movie that let's you know how wide an imagination of a director can be. It's a touching story and at the same time a fast action movie that you wouldn't mind watching over and over again! In a way it's like the comic book coming alive! It's for all Lord of the rings-Harry Potter-The matrix- and Batman fans! It's basically concentrates on Peter Parker-a guy who's in love with Mary Jane. It's a kind of movie that Alanis Morissette songs would really go with since she has songs to support all the moods that you'd feel as you watch Spider-Man (and hey she has a song called Mary Jane!). Overall it was really worth the wait. It's better than any movie I've watched all summer! The movie packs together a lot of excitement. Just like Lord of the rings it's touching and at the same time exciting (I know I've mentioned this before!). No one could have made it any better than Raimi (although I'd like to watch a movie directed by Peter Jackson and Raimi). Spider-man is no old super hero movie (although it does have a damsel who is constantly in distress)-it's a modernized fast creation that could only be imagined as you read the comic books-until now! It's a spectacular flick that you should watch if you haven't watched it yet! It's a movie that very rarely bores you. It doesn't stretch a scene by giving you too much detail. It's really worth watching on the big screen! -------------------------AHMED MASHHOOD--------------------------

Summary: Swing Into The Theatre For Fun And Action!
Review: Toby McQuire is Dynamic a Peter Parker. Kurstin Dunst is totally believable as his girlfriend Jane! Need I say more! Sam Rami did an exciting job with the technical and emotional "strings" of this film. He through in action, adventure, special effects and some great stunts in the origins of Peter Parker (aka SPIDERMAN). It has a great story - nothing new or innovative, but definately believable. Even William Dafoe looked like he had a great time as the villian and above all that the love story was wonderful and refreshing. (Granted certain scenes ay have been a luittle too long - but it didn't deter from the overall film itself.) This movie is fun for the whole family and the Peter Parker "narative" that opens and closes the movies makes your feel like the next "Comic Book" (movie - sequal) will be out soon. Lets just say, when Spidey swings into action, the movie shoots in high gear. Go see it!
