Summary: AN AMAZING FILM!!! EXCEEDS THE HYPE!!!
Review: How do I begin? I had to buy my tickets a day in advance however I must admit it was well worth it! It's been quite a while since a movie has lived up to or exceeded the hype surrounding it however Spiderman was one of the greatest "character" films ever! Not only was it action packed but the romance in it made it easy for me to bring along my girlfriend. Sure it appeals to teenagers but what's remarkable about this film is that it's also appealing to little kids as well as adults, etc. This was well worth the wait and I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Summary: Wow!
Review: As I entered the crowded movie theater I felt nervous. As a big fan of Spiderman and all his friends at Marvel comics, I wasn't sure if the movie would live up to my expectations. As the ending credits started to roll, I sat there in a state of awe. It was a great movie! It had everything: Adventure, action, comedy, and romance. Tobey Maguire was perfectly cast as Peter Paker a.k.a. SPIDERMAN! I gave to admit, there could of been more action, but it was still worth seeing. I'm not the kind of person to see a movie twice in a movie theater...but Spiderman is one of those movies that one wouldn't mind seeing over and over and over again....

Summary: Best movie of all time!!!!
Review: In the short time it has been out I have seen Spider-man twice. It is my all time favorite movie. The actors did an exellant job. The fight scenes were incredible especially the slugfest at the end. The plot was great and was very close to the comic. So if you like the comic or just like a great movie go see it now.

Summary: Spider-Man Defines Only Greatness
Review: When I first heard that Sony Pictures were going to make a film based on the comic-book superhero Spider-Man, I was in shock. This was great! But-- this was three years ago, even before they casted Tobey Maguire and have even wrote the script. Everyday, I went on Upcomingmovies.com to find out more about the film and eventually, I learned more and more and more. After two months approximately, they casted Tobey Maguire. Then they were after the Green Goblin. Finally, Willem Dafoe is casted. Then Kirsten Dunst, then J.K Simmons, and so on and so forth. So you see, I have been waiting for this movie even before they wrote the script. And now, I finally, after nearly three years, I have seen a dream.Spider-Man for one is now my most favorite movie. Sam Raimi delivers a great, action-packed movie with a story actually behind it (unlike any Rambo movie). The acting is marvelous except for Kirsten Dunst. I wished they picked another actress to play the part of Mary Jane Watson. But of course, the film has its weaknesses and down-falls, but fortunately, those glitches are minor and just flow by like air. In some points of the film, the movie seems to long but always, in these types of movies, you want more and more and more. The story is over-all great, not good-- GREAT! Whoever wrote the script knew the original story written by Stan Lee, took it another step further transforming a masterpiece...If you are a Spider-Man fan, you are there, if you are a superhero fan, you are still there, and even if you are an Archie Comics fan, you are there. This film is the most action-packed and truthfull comic book movie that has ever been made...

Summary: Worth the hype! Something for everyone.
Review: I was extremely pleased with this movie. It had something for everyone. Family values, a love story, and lots of fun action. I took my 8 year old son which I was leary of because of the PG-13 rating. It was acceptable to me. There was one swear used ..., which he knows is wrong to use. The violence was actually less than some of the cartoons on TV. I highly recommend this movie!

Summary: The best comic book film rendering since Batman
Review: I'll admit it. I get a little skeptical about a bran new action film when a month before its release, pictures of the heroic lead character show up on bags of cotton candy at Blockbuster Video and through other mischievious marketing schemes. Many of us were treated to the same insanity with Star Wars Episode One and found ourselves a little disappointed when apart from the great action scenes, the film didn't quite live up to the hype. I'm pleased to say that Spiderman does. The film's strengths are in its humanity and its focus on characters more than on action. The film runs just over 2 hours and seems almost longer because so much of the film moves along at a calm pace building the characers we will be rooting for or hating for the next four or five years (as new films in the series come out). Peter Parker (played expertly by Tobey MacGuire) is a 16-year-old science buff who, on a trip to a genetics lab with his high school, is bit by an escaped genetically-altered spider. One bite is all it takes to send Peter's DNA into choas. He awakes the next morning and discovers changes in his physical body (improved eyesight, muscles magically appearing overnight), and gets a handful of embarassment and trouble when his spider webs manifest themselves in the school cafeteria! The loss of a loved one provokes Peter to devote his life to defending the innocent against crime. Along the way, a displaced plant founder named Norman Osborn has made himself the human guinea pig for a performance-enhancing drug which threatens to be pulled along with his program unless he works out the bugs (no pun intended). The drug enhances his physical abilities, and like the original character Green Goblin, causes Norman to go slowly insane. William Defoe plays the role of Osborn/the Green Goblin brilliantly. Any actor who can so accurately portray such an intense Disassociative Identity Disorder between two such extremes deserved recognition. Watch for the scene where Defoe has a conversation with himself in his bathroom mirror! Brilliance. The film spends the first hour of the film solely on character development before any comic book action takes place. This is a strength of the film. By the time the action starts and the plot thickens, we know the characters well enough to become personally involved with happens to them. The film also simply take the wild and perhaps-impossible science behind Peter and Norman's transformations as a given and instead focuses on the characters. Another strength of the film. Played especially well is the fact that Peter's amazing abilities become both a gift and a curse. Peter find he no longer grow emotionally close to anyone because the ones he loves are the ones that end up getting hurt by his enemies. Thus begins a potentially lonely life for this hesitant superhero. Brimming over with humanity and excellent CGI, plot and dialogue, Spiderman seems to me to be the best comic book film since the Keaton/Nicholson Batman film. Coincidentally, both films are scored by the same wonderful composer, Danny Elfman. Don't wait for video to see this one folks! It's good enough for the extra money, and the big screen experience of this film is amazing. Just try leaving the film as calm and collected as you were when you came in. Highly recommended.

Summary: SPIDER-MAN - the #1 Movie thats breaking box office records!
Review: I have to say Spider-Man is one of the most refreshing comic book hero movies to ever come out. When I was a young kid, I was a huge Spider-Man fan with the action figures and comic books. As time went on and as I grew older I forgot about him, but that changed when I saw the previews for this movie. I finally saw the movie tonight and it brought back those care free days I had as a kid. Seeing Spider-Man was just one of the most amazing movie experiences (along with E.T.) ever. I have to say this movie was AWESOME. This movie truly has a great stand out cast. TOBEY MAGUIRE who plays Spider-Man did an amazing job. He brought emotion to the character that made him more human than any other hero in a comic book inspired movie. Another great performance was by KIRSTEN DUNST who brought the Lois Lane like quality to this movie, and gave one of her best movie performances to date. Together the two just ignited the big screen and as the sparks flew it gave the movie a romantic twist. The action scenes are amazing and they make you jump out of your seat a few times. All that along with the emotional journey that Spider-Man takes you on, thats what truly makes this movie so great and special. This is one Roller-Coaster ride i highly encourage any one to see. The ending is also a surprise and I will not give it away, but I will say some people liked it and some people did not, Go figure. I did not buy in to all the Hype of this movie. I went to see it cause I wanted to. SPIDER-MAN is breaking Box Office Records! Spider-Man was the #1 Movie at the box Office for the weekend of May 4-5 and had the largest opening gross ever its first week with $118 million. It broke another record in its second week of release on May 11-12 with grossing $72 million, which is the most any movie has ever grossed on its second week, and if thats not enough it is the fastest movie to pass the $200 million mark in only 9 days. I can see why because this movie is just AWESOME! I will be waiting in line when SPIDER-MAN comes out on DVD! Check Spider-Man out! Tobey and Kirstin you both rock!

Summary: simply adequate when it should have been great (No spoilers)
Review: The first thirty minutes had me smiling, but after the initial setup the movie falls apart and feels very episodic. Why? Because the villain had no plan to carry off, so the hero had no goal to reach. The climax was [disappointing] as well -- not enough at stake. The production design was cool, but the lighting overall was flat -- it looked like a TV movie (and what was up with all that _graininess_ during some of the CGI-heavy sequences? Were they re-rendering frames up until the last minute?) I have other gripes as well, but the overall crime here is that what should have been a great movie turned out to be simply mediocre. The Spiderman I know and love still lives in the 1967 animated TV series. Kirsten Dunst has grown up to be a real hottie though.

Summary: Wish I could have the option to give out negative stars...
Review: I see that most people loved this movie, I have a feeling thats because everything thats come to the movie theatres in recent times has just [disappointed]. Personally though I thought the acting, direction, and even the action was just boring and predictable. Give me Indiana Jones or the first Batman movie any day over this horrible excuse for a movie. Spiderman deserved so much more, but I guess Marvel was so broke they just couldn't deny the studio from releasing the film, sad... Final Thoughts: Bad, Awful and [horrible]
