Review: This movie was terrible, Toby Mcg. can't act, the girl is also terrible and annoying. This is a good movie to get dragged to by your girlfriend or wife. Might as well be named Maid in Manhattan. Dumb movie don't waste your money even to rent. Over rated piece of garbage. Be Warned

Summary: Spiderman's web an illusion
Review: The only reason this film is successful is because of September 11th. Do any of you really think this generic action film could ever acheive such a lofty standing as the number #1 movie of the year if New York City did not go through such tragedy?Tobey McGuire is far to passive as an actor to carry this film. His performance during Uncle Ben's death was not very convincing especially with those forced tears. How about the annoyingly over-acted performance of William Defoe? Or the absurd special effects to create Spiderman? Is that entertainment? Does anyone know what a Five Star movie truly is? Comic book fans definitely have influenced the thinking of the average movie viewer with their rants all across the internet about how excellent this movie is. In reality, it is NOT an excellent film and many need to realize this. It's great to know that many are finally awakening from this illusion and realizing this horrid mess is truly not quality entertainment. Just look at the responses on other movie message boards and many of you comic book fans will realize the BACKLASH IS COMING. Get ready to see a darker future for this bloated franchise

Summary: It was stupid!
Review: I thought it was really dumb. The storyline was bad, the ending [was bad] and the fighting scenes were just plain awful. The guy who played Spider-Man was ugly and didn't look right as Spider-Man. It looked like they copied this movie from Superman and Batman because it's almost the same storyline. The stunt scenes looked like they put a different guy in the costume to make it look like Spider-Man. I just really didn't like it. I hope the movie Daredevil turns out good it has Ben Affleck in it he's way cuter than Tobey Maguire. I think Spider-Man should have been played by Matt Damon or Ben Affleck because there cuter.

Summary: Great fun, great movie
Review: Wow. I never expected that Spider-man would be so great. ... After I saw the preview, I said to myself, "Tobey Maguire is going to play Spider-man? The world must be coming to an end." I guess I was just out of the mix, because Maguire did a great job, and the movie is more than I ever thought it could be. It's awesome man!
The movie is better than the cartoon, and that's saying a lot. Spider-man's costume looks so cool, as does the Green Goblin's (Willem Dafoe). The action sequences are fast-paced and riveting, and Danny Elfman's musical score is rich and powerful. Well, here is the real reason why Spider-man is so great:
Remember how it was easier to be entertained as a kid? I do. I remember that during every Power Rangers episode (at least the old-school ones), I would wait in suspense until the morph battle at the end. ...the Megazord would take one swift swing at the evil monster with his awesome blade, and the bad guy he would fall dead, helpless to the amazing power of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. See, what the power Rangers did for me then, Spider-Man does for me now. I didn't just pass the movie off as comic book nonsense. I was like whoa. Spider-Man is the real deal.
And, hidden beneath all the wondrous action and comic book drama (which is by no means a bad thing), there's a message from the hero: "With great power, comes great responsibility." Spider-man is a modern myth. I just can't wait until the sequel.

Summary: A nice light movies
Review: I enjoyed this DVD (just got it for Christmas). I did not see the film in the theatres, so I miss some of the roller coaster ride you get from the giant screen. Tobey Maguire was perfect for Peter Parker. I enjoyed his almost clueless personality; an direct opposite of Spiderman's heightened senses. They could have found someone else for Mary Jane. I am not a big Dunst fan, and it was hard to get past that. The supporting material on the DVD is great. I enjoyed the interviews with the previous artists and writers of Spiderman. Also I really enjoyed the bio of composer Danny Elfman (one of my favorite musicians). If you enjoy comic book movies that are not as dark as Spawn, this will be a great addition for you.

Summary: Does whatever a spider can
Review: I love Spider-Man the comics, but I didn't know whether I would love the movie, after disliking other comic-related movies such as X-Men. But after seeing Spider-Man, I can definitely say that this is up there with Superman with the comic-book movies. Tobey Maguire makes a great choice to play Spider-Man. Some may think he's an odd casting choice, but I think he's perfect. Kirsten Dunst, James Franco and the overacting-and-loving-it Willem Dafoe round out the cast. The DVD is amazing; the menus are just spectacular. I loved there was actually a section on the comic book; now why wasn't something like this on the X-Men discs? The comic cover gallery, however, was a bit of a rip; I thought it showed all the covers, but it only shows a select few from a year, with a brief write-up on it. All in all, this is one of the best DVDs of the year.

Summary: Enjoyable but not memorable enough
Review: Another comic book superhero finds his way to the big screen in this amiable high-flying adventure. Perpetually adorable Tobey Maguire plays Peter Parker, a geeky high-school student with an aptitude for science who is one day bitten by a mutant spider while attending a field trip to Columbia University, and suddenly finds himself developing strange powers much like that of the offending arachnid. Suddenly graced with exceptionally quick reflexes, impressive strength, plus major webshooters biologically emitting from each wrist, Parker goes from quiet underachiever to the city's hardest working crimefighter in no time flat. It seems his transformation couldn't be more perfectly timed either, because a new brand of villain in the form of the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe) is intent on destroying human life to advance his personal breakthroughs in kinetic power. Kirsten Dunst does her best with the limp character of Mary Jane, a young woman who is constantly being victimized by one man or another and so seems to always be playing the same pity-me note every time we see her. It's no wonder Parker has been in love with her for so long: after all, it seems that falling in love with her would be the most complimentary way to feel sorry for her. Lack of pretentiousness and an excellent first act in the screenplay by David Koepp that allows for the best character development and personal conflict seen in a superhero movie since Michelle Pfeiffer played Catwoman is what sets this thrilling adventure apart from most of the summer fare that audiences are forced to endure, but there's a lack of power to it as well (particularly in the second half) that keeps it from being totally engrossing. This is probably due to Sam Raimi's decidedly uncommitted direction, but it also doesn't help that Dafoe's villain isn't all that scary or dedicated to an easily palpable evil endeavour (his main purpose is to kill the board members who are planning to shut down his corporation, and then after that decides that Spider-Man is his only nemesis and so tries to hurt him through the people he loves). J.K. Simmons pays delightful tribute to the original animated program with his boisterous portrayal of Parker's magazine editor, and Rosemary Harris is a delight as Parker's cookie-baking, patient and loving aunt. Look for cameos by Lucy Lawless, Macy Gray and Raimi mainstay Bruce Campbell in one of the film's most delightful sequences.
