Summary: An Opposing View
Review: The movies "Shrek", "Superman" and "The Fifth Element" are among my favorites because of the animation and special effects. Based on the reviews of the critics and other viewers I anticipated that "Spider-Man would excel in some of the same attributes as these movies such as interesting and engaging storyline and good acting as well as first rate special effect and animation.In "Spider-Man" the special effects were so repetitive that I wondered if they were the same ones used over and over. The story line, for me, droned on with little purpose or interest. A soliloquy by Spider-Man in the last scene typified the acting in that it was wordy, delivered like it was from a middle school play and spoiled the possibility of a satisfying ending with an obvious setup for a sequel. Finally, the villain wore a solid mask which looked, to me, like a way to avoid the expense of additional animation. With all due respect to the critics and others who loved the move, what you all saw, I missed. I wrote this because I find the negative reviews equally helpful, often even more so when I disagree. I hope you find this, along with the positive reviews, helpful in drawing your own conclusions.

Summary: Very Good Movie, Ending Was Not What I Hoped
Review: This movie was very good, it had a great cast that complimented eachother. I wanted to go see it in the theater because of the song "HERO" that is on the sound track. But I didn't think it was going to be as good as it was. The ending is not what I wanted it to be but it was very good and left it open for a sequel. I can't wait till it is out on DVD because the day that it is placed on the shelves I and going to pick one up!

Summary: Excellent movie, followed the comic well
Review: This movie was 150% excellente! ... I loved it so much! Tobey McGuire does a good job at playing Spider Man and Kirsten Dunst is an EXCELLENT Mary Jane (MJ). I was kind of ... at the end because I thought it ended a little too soon and they should have put an extra 10 minutes into it AT LEAST. ... Everyone who HASN'T seen this, NEEDS to! Especially a Spider Man comic reader, this movie follows the comic entirely and well!

Summary: A must have!
Review: Any real fan of stan lee's spider man must have this gift set version. Besides all goodies found in the regular widescreen (such as making-of, outtakes etc) the reprint of the first appearance of spiderman if a collector's dream. Don't forget to try in your computer in order to access the DVD_ROM features!

Summary: Columbia's already committed to TWO sequels????
Review: Yes, I realize it's a comic book. Yes, I realize that this is aimed at the mentality of a 12-year-old boy (and hits a bulls-eye at that!) But come on! The writers went for the obvious every single time! And the scenes that were supposed to explore the romantic tension between the hero and his beloved made me laugh out loud every single time because it was so poorly written. And what was the Green Goblin trying to accomplish anyway? For a good comic-book movie, skip this dreck. Watch Tim Burton's Batman instead.

Summary: Great, but not worthy
Review: I thought Spider-Man was a great flick. The fact that you can relate to Peter Parker puts it on a plane that no other comic has done. He has trouble in dealing with his mutation (Don't we all feel like we outsiders) and more importantly in love. Though the Green Goblin looks nothing like the one in the comics (I thought he was an actual goblin instead of a power ranger reject), it is slightly better than X-Men because of character development. We feel for Spidey/Peter and his toils....However does it really deserve the huge box office tak it has gotten. It grossed more 115 million dollars!!!I expected a big turnout, but the biggest ever. I loved the film and the people, but it didn't bring anything new to the table. The only thing that shows that this isn't like all the other summer box office bonanzas is its huge wad of money it raked in. Nothing else

Summary: Much Better than Burton's Batman Flicks
Review: This is the best bigscreen adaptation of a major comic superhero that I've seen, much better than the chaotic messes of Burton's Batman films (though I thought Michael Keaton was excellent as Batman). Tobey Maguire's characterization of Peter Parker/Spiderman is perfect, though I do hope he doesn't get limited to the role, since he is probably the best Hollywood male actor of the twenty-something age group. Sometimes I think Raimi still goes for too much close-up violence in that sort of goofy but sadistic cult director way (as does Peter Jackson in Lord of the Rings), but overall this is a serious action hero movie that manages to have some fun. It sticks pretty close to the Spiderman many will know from the 60s comic book, but the story and conceits have been largely updated for this century. Here's hoping Ben Affleck as Daredevil (another Marvel favorite of mine) turns out as good.

Summary: One of the greatest stories ever told.
Review: I'd been waiting a long time to see this movie so the hype for me was far and beyond that of the normal movie-goer. Did it live up to the hype? My answer is a resounding yes. Was it better than Episode 2? No question. This may be considered a super hero movie, but what make's this film so good is it's more about Peter Parker and his feelings for Mary Jane than anything else. Of course there's lots of action and special effects, but it's the story that really shines and that's why the movie was seen by such a wide variety of age groups. The soundtrack is great too. I can't wait for this DVD, I will watch it again and again, as should everyone else in the world.

Summary: This was a great movie!
Review: Now when first seeing the previews for the Spider Man movie I didn't think highly of it. When the event on the twin towers occured many were touched on it and the movie was then canceled on its release date as well as others such as Trainng Day and Collateral Damage. Hearing that the Spider Man movie had a scene which they showed the two twin towers in I felt I must see the movie when finally releasing 6 months after its original release date. I have been a big Spider Man fan and have read many of the comics so still being a true fan I went to see the movie when released at theatres and when all was over Spider Man was one of the best movies I have seen in some time. Now in the comics Gwen Stacy the true love of Peter Parker before Mary Jane Watson never existed to the movies story. Gwen Stacy dying by the same villian Green Goblin who also I didn't think could be a good villian compared to others such as Venom, Carnage, or the Lizard, William Dafoe played the Green Goblin to an excellent villian. There was some other changes to the movie from comics such as Flash Thompson the bully to Peter Parker though being in the comic a best friend but all in all Spider Man was action packed with a great story line. If you love other movies based after comics such as the Superman movies, Batman movies or even Wesley Snipes in Blade and Blade 2, Spider Man is a must have.

Summary: Spiderman was the surprise film of the summer!
Review: This movie was actually very good.And I wasn't expecting it to be.I didn't think they could actually pull it off. It was entertaing from the beginning to the end. Tobey Maguire was the most adorable super hero I've ever seen! You gotta check this movie out if you haven't seen it already.
