Summary: GRRREEEEEAAAAATTTTT MOVIE
Review: This was a greeat movie, the ending was sad but it shows you something important about Spider-Man, that he doesnt want the people he loves to get hurt because he is Spider Man, if your Spider Mans wife or girlfriend then Dr Octopus or Venom or the Hobgoblon might come looking for you. The webbing thing was innacurate, the webbing comes out of Spider Mans web shooters not his wrists like the movie has it, and uncle Ben dies when his house gets robbed, he doesnt get shot on a street. Its a really great movie, be prepared for 1 or 2 kinda silly things (every movie has 1 or 2 silly things) and the Green Goblins costume looks a little cartoonish, and be prepared for a depressing ending (but keep in mind that Spider Man eventually marries Mary Jane) get the movie and cherish it, especially if your a Spider Man fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie of 2002!
Review: "Spider-Man" is the best movie of 2002. Tobey Maguire stars as Peter Parker who lives with his Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) and Uncle Ben (Cliff Robertson) from the death of his parents. He gets bitten by a radioactive spider and when he has spider abilities, he becomes Spider-Man. Kirsten Dunst is amazing in her role as Mary Jane Watson, Peter's beautiful classmate. James Franco is great playing Harry Osborn, Peter's best friend. And Willem Dafoe is good playing Norman Osborn, Harry's dad. The picture and sound quality from the DVD are good. The extras are superb including the "HBO Making of Spider-Man" and the commentary. An excellent film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not so special
Review: I got this thinking it would be full of behind the scene content. The movie is great, minus showing how he created his final costume. But the other DVD is just a waste of time. I would have like to have heard what the actors were saying in the clothing test scenes. Also needed more behind the scene stuff. Very laking of anything beyond the movie.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Hottest Summer Movie of 2002
Review: This movie was by far the best summer movie of 2002. The cast of this movie was outstanding & the special effects were terrific, & the plot was the best material I had ever seen. Get this widescreen version of the movie & watch the bonus material & pay close attention to see how they make these characters come alive on the silver screen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sensational comic come to life!!!!
Review: A trusted friend had recommended this movie with two reservations
1. "Kirsten Dunst..she was okay..pretty enough but not how I thought the Spiderman's herione should look."
and 2. "too many computerized special effects"

Wrong on both counts. Kirsten Dunst glowed and was the perfect girl next door from a dysfunctional family. She's beautiful.
And the effects...my god, they were fantastic. I never once sat there thinking..oh, there they go and again -- Tobey McGuire couldn't do that...which leads me to my next compliment....Talk about perfect casting...I'm surprised Hollywood didn't cast a Backstreet Boy! McGuire was believable before and after his transformation.
William Dafoe puts the StarWars IV's villain and especially the 4th Batman's villains to shame. He chewed up the scenary and spewed out a believable character.
This is a movie for the whole family!!! If only the world had heros like Spiderman!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Widescreen???
Review: Super DVD, but not widescreen. Outer box and DVD both marked "Widescreen" edition, but to my dismay, the DVD was Full Screen. Returned it to a different location and second copy, though marked widescreen, was also full screen. Is this a screwup and will the studio make it right???

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wins prize for minimal plot
Review: I preordered this video because everyone was raving about it for months. I still can't believe how devoid of a plot, the shallowness of the characters and this untiring Yo-Yo "webbing" all over the city that quickly grew old. I'ld rather read the comic book!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Joining the "Ranks" of Spiderman fans!!!
Review: Before viewing SPIDERMAN, I could definitely not have been classified in the 'Spiderman lover' category. I considered the comics to be childish as well as bland. However, after seeing this movie my mindset (amazingly) was forced onto a different path. What a great production! There is none of the comic's reiteration of the same plot, or confusion of scattered storylines. This film is concise, intriguing, and 'I must face it- VERY cool!!! I find myself waiting (with baited breath) for SPIDERMAN 2, and wanting a LOT MORE!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The special features on the DVD were better than the movie
Review: I purchased this DVD because I went through a Marvel comic book phase when I was growing up. So I thought it might be fun to see. Reviews on the movie were reasonably good, too. However, like many movies of this genre (action-adventure-superheroes), it tries to overcome its inherent flaws in script with overdone and interminably long special effects sequences that defy all physical laws.

I made the serious mistake of viewing the special features on the 2nd DVD disk first. They were very imaginative and interesting and it increased my expectations for the movie. Unfortunately, my expectations were clearly not met. My major complaint is that the script was just too thin and absolutely predictable. Are all producers/directors are still trying to recreate (copy?) the Titanic phenonmenon (see Pearl Harbor et al). Also, Kirsten Dunst looks ridiculous in a red wig. However, Tobey Maguire and Willem Dafoe were well cast. Overall an average movie.
