Summary: Spider-Man Spins a Strong Web
Review: I must admit that was hyped about this movie.From the first time I saw the preview I knew that this movie would be awesome! What I didn't know is that this movie would be as in-depth as it really is. The movie starts out telling about the life of Peter Parker(Toby Maguire), a high school geek. He has had a crush on the same girl Mary Jane Watson(Kirsten Dunst) since 4th grade,but she has a boyfriend who is much more popular than Peter. When Peter goes to a University on a field trip he is bit by a "super spider". When he comes home he feels drowsy so he falls asleep. In the morning he wakes up to find that he has developed certain characteristics that a spider has. These characteristics include being able to shoot a web, climb up walls, have very good eyesight(he doesn't need his glasses anymore, leep from building to building and being incredibly strong. Of course this movie wouldn't be a Spider-Man movie without a villan.

Meanwhile at a company named OSCORP they are suppose to be designing hoover crafts for the U.S Military. When the military comes to check on how progress is going on the hoover craft they learn that it is not even ready to be tested by humans.The military officer threatens to stop their funding and close down OSCORP! One night the head of OSCORP(Willem Dafoe) trys to test one of OSCORPS products even though it is not ready to be tested. Something goes wrong and he turns into the Green Goblin. He plans revenge on the military by stealing the hoover craft and flying around throwing bombs at innocent people and at the military base. Someone has to stop him! Spider-Man battles the Green Goblin in many different fights that are always exciting and unpredictable.

This movie has lots of action, some romance and non-stop thrills! Of course one of the things Spider-Man uses his powers for his to get the girl of his dreams Mary Jane Watson. This movie is definetly worth seeing. Hopefully Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 will be just as good!

Summary: More than 5 stars?????
Review: First off let me say what a fantastic movie this is. Spiderman has it all, action, humor, and wonderful special effects. Lets face it, something for everyone.

Peter Parker is your typical geeky high schooler who has a crush on a popular girl at school. Ofcrouse, the super jock also likes her, and wants to make Peter's life miserable. Then one day, Peter's life changes when he's bitten by a special spider. The rest, as they say, is history.

The casting was perfect. Defoe is wonderful as the Green Goblin. He has the perfect mannerism for a bad guy. Kirsten Dunst as MJ was wonderful, full of sweet and innocence. Ofcourse, Toby is perfect for Spiderman.

What I liked about this movie is that the lesson that Peter learns. I can't way what it is, ofcourse, because I don't want to ruin it, but the lesson is well learned.

I highly suggest you go see this movie. Stay for the credits b/c at the end of the movies (and after most of the songs at the end) they play the "Spiderman song" from the cartoon. It was a cute touch.

Summary: Best Movie In A Long Time
Review: Spider-Man: The Movie, is just what you need. A good trip from reality into the world of a superhero. And it couldn't have been done any better. This movie starts with Peter Parker, a lonely, geeky high school student who only wants one thing: a woman named Mary Jane, or MJ for short, to be his girl. It starts out with Peter Parker and his class taking a field trip to a mueseum. From there on, you get to see how Peter Parker develops his Spider skills, and how he gets better with them as the movie goes on. The movie combines enough action, suspense, great storyline, drama and humor to make everybody like it. Although the end is kind of poor, it will have a sequel, so everybody can rejoice for that. I think they picked the best actors for all the parts. All the costumes were designed well and everything is great. The only thing is, the Green Goblin suit looks a little goofy and it is kind of embarassing to the movie. The movie is fairly long, at 2 hours 11 minutes, but its worth it. In Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, at about 2 hrs, I couldn't wait until they were over. But Spider-Man held my interest at the 2 hrs, not just because it was the climax, but I wanted more action. It really sucks you in to everything. This is the way a movie should be. Go see Spider-Man today. And then tommorow, and possibly the next day.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Spiderman
Review: i liked this movie. but... yes but it seemed weak and slow and sometimes boring. i liked tobey maguires portrayal, his mannerisms and he did an excellent job playing Peter Parker. The one liners and punchlines were few but nonetheless funny. still it makes for a good popcorn flick. maybe the dvd will have some cool extras...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FABULOUS!!!
Review: Just went to see this movie and it is marvelous. Kudos to Sam Raimi for staying faithful to the source material.
Tobey Maguire was perfectly cast as Peter Parker, and Willem Dafoe was terrific as the Green Goblin. Don't take the movie so seriously and just go and enjoy it, and when the movie is over, think to yourself... Wow! I wonder who he'll fight next, Doctor Octopus, how about the Lizard or maybe the Kingpin or...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Spider Man was a LOT of fun!
Review: I saw the film yesterday and was very impressed...and VERY entertained.

While there were a few predictable scenes, they did not detract from the overall enjoyment. The entire "How Peter Parker became Spider Man" story worked very well and was extremely effective. The cast was great and I'm sure this movie will make a lot of money. Unlike last years "Summer Blockbusters", this movie deserves every cent it makes.

A great start to what I'm sure will be a great franchise.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My thoughts on the New Spider-Man movie
Review: Hi I just saw Spider-Man the movie, it was awesome. I loved the way they stayed true to so much of the original idea of Spider-Man, having him start out as this geeky kid, then being transformed into so much more. The special effects will Blow you away, there were so many great scenes I want to see it again and again so I can be excited all over again. I've read Spider-Man comic books since I was a kid and I felt the movie did a great job of bringing Spider-Man to life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best I've seen in a Long Time!!!
Review: I have to say that I don't go to the movies that often (Mainly cause I don't have the time.) I also have never been a huge fan of comic books either. But come on its spider-man. I was totally blown away by this movie. I went on opening night and it was great. This movie exceded all my expectations. The story was great. Also the special effects added to a great story. I have seen all the other movies based on comic books, but this was by far the best. What are you waiting for? Believe the hype... go see SPIDER-MAN. You won't regret it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lee and Ditko would be proud
Review: This is not as much Sam Raimi's movie, nor Tobey Maguire's nor Kirsten Dunst's as it is a movie embodying the spirits of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko - the guys who created Spidey in the first place.

A surprise is this film is actually quite complex when it comes to human emotions and motivations. No one does anything without some reason (or something they truly believe is a reason), and in Spider-Man each person has their own set of complexity. The acting is excellent, particularly the scenes between Maguire and Dunst. J.K. Simmons as 'Daily Bugle' (the Flatiron Building) editor J. Jonah Jameson is truly terrifying in a bad-boss way. All the usual suspects are present; the bullying jock, the girl next door, and Aunt May. There is humor, and in a display of skill this humor grows naturally out of the situations, and does not feel forced.

The action sequences are dynamic - to say the least. Lee and Ditko imagined Spidey web-swinging across New York City at great speed. They must be delighted in seeing Maguire (who did at least some of his own stunts) bring Spidey's speed and agility to the screen.

Some may complain that parts of the film are slow (like the lead-up to the infamous spider-bite), but taken in the context that Spider-Man 2 and 3 are already in the works, we may well look back on the 'slow' scenes as a good place to catch one's breath. The only true problem is the Green Goblin mask. (I hated it in the spy photos, thru production, and especially right up there on the screen.) Other than that mask, this is a film that rocks hard and fast any time someone in costume is on screen, and seethes with intrigue when the characters are in mufti.

All in all, an excellently realised film. Some very young viewers may be startled by the action sequences.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All I can say is "Wow".........
Review: I've never been a big fan of spidey aka spiderman. But I knew I would love this movie, well me being compelled to anything with true and pure raw or unveiled emotions. It had good action I mean I haven't read the comics or really watched the cartoons, but my bro Bill has and he says they stayed quite true to the whole story line(course they did change some things to work for a movie and the web shooters, but I like the whole web coming right out of the wrist instead of those web shooter things better anyways.)

But yeah...I *Love* it. I now most people wouldn't cry, but I did...In fact I've been crying alot today, I can totally sympathise with "Peter Parker" not being able to have the one he loves so much...I mean that really hurts, he could, but yet he can't. Of course if you've read the cmoics you'll know, but if you haven't then well you'll know when you see the movie. Definetely lives up to the hype in my opinion. There were deep emotional connections with each main character. It was just so awesome. I heard their supposed to make 2 more, I dunno how they can top this one, but I'd love to see it done, or at least just as good!!! I don't want to see another "Mummy Returns"!!!

But this movie was just awesome, just don't have to many expectations. I may have, but I could feel the movie before I saw it, I could kinda sense it. And it gave my emotions the kick-start they'de needed for a couple of weeks(With God's work I use my emotions alot).

So I definetely recomend it. Its not just an action movie, its a very emotional film(In a good way!!!), thoughtfull, good strong charcters, and well its just plain good!!!

So *enjoy*, I honestly *HOPE* you will!!! Cause if you don't I pity you!!!

God Bless ~Amy

PS: Don't be suprized if you find yourself yelling or cheering in the movie, I did and so did some other people!! :D
