Rating: Summary: Definitely worth the money. Review: This Spiderman DVD was definitely worth the purchase. The movie is definitely awesome. SPiderman has long been my favorite superhero, and this movie does good justice to the comic book.At first, I was skeptical to having Tobey Maguire play Peter Parker(Spiderman). But after seeing the film, I have a little more respect for him, and comparing him to the comic photo shootin' action hero, I could definitely see the resemblance. And on a side note, Mr. Jameson was ON PAR! As far as extra features, this DVD is packed. I especially liked the part where you could go to short clips on the making of the movie, while the movie was playing. The features are good and overall I think this is worth the time and money.
Rating: Summary: Best of the superheroes Review: As much as I enjoyed the original Batman, Spider-Man is by far the best of the superhero movies. In the Superman series of movies, an over emphasis was placed on the relationship between Lois Lane and Clark Kent. An identical problem occured with Batman. Spider-man however, while still featuring the obligatory love interest of the superhero, didn't sacrifice other parts of the story. It made it a great movie for anyone, whether they are the diehard action movie buff, or love story fanatic. The special effects are another subject all together. They simply have to be seen to be believed. No more glibly swinging through city streets as in the old cartoon. Instead, we are able to see the power and strength required as Spider-man traverses the city. It's great to see that special effects people for once, decided to pay attention to an often neglected law: physics.
Rating: Summary: Not A Bad Flick Review: I must admit, a comic book fan I am NOT. So, I'm not familliar with anything to do with Spiderman. Heck, I didn't even know the guy's name was Peter Parker. So, I came into this movie with no preconceptions and no expectations. I can say this: It IS a fun movie. It has some pretty cool special effects and I like the characters for the most part. It is a typical superhero movie, although I find "Batman" and "The X Men" to be superior films. Tobey McGwire does a very good job portraying the unlikely hero. I also liked Kirsten Dunst, but that goes without saying. I think I am just amazed at how cartoonish and bland some of the climactic action sequences were. This movie is a strange case where I found the plot and character moments much more satisfying and believable than the actual action. As much as I like Willem Defoe, the villan in this movie is HORRIBLE, and the villan in these cheesy flicks is basically a "make or break" point. Maybe this is why the action sequences did nothing for me. I'm amazed that this film outgrossed Star Wars. At the same time, I think a sequel done with a slightly better villan and a somewhat more serious plot might just work.
Rating: Summary: Spider-Man Review: I really liked this movie. It was very entertaining. Although I had never followed the comic book series I was still able to follow along with this movie. The movie had a good plot and a good story line. I think that this is a movie for all.

Rating: Summary: Spidey Rules! Review: This is a great dvd but The Goblins Lair needs some more extras. The movie is one of my favorites and Spider's Web is a very cool place on the second disc.
Rating: Summary: pretty average Review: I grew up digging SpiderMan&was waiting too see this Film.but having finally seeing it I wasn't that Moved.the effects had moments.but the StoryLine&Acting didn't do much for me.
Rating: Summary: Everything you want in a DVD Review: I've been a comics fan for most of my life, so when I heard that there was going to be a Spider-Man movie, I was happy. But I remembered how dreadful the past 2 Batman films had been, and hoped against hope that Spider-Man would be better. Was it ever. Before I go further, I'll go over the plot. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is your average high school dork. On a field trip to Columbia University's science lab, he gets bit by a genetically engineered spider. The bite gives Peter exceptional agility, stamina, and strength, as well as the unique ability to spin webs from his wrists. Originally using his powers for self-gain, he decides to change his ways when his Uncle Ben is killed by a gunman in a carjacking that he could have prevented. Living by Uncle Ben's motto, "With great power comes great responsibility," Peter becomes Spider-Man. His powers come to the ultimate test when New York is terrorized by the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe). The acting was solid on all counts. Maguire was good both as the nerdy Peter Parker and the wisecracking Spider-Man. Kirsten Dunst, who plays love interest and high school student Mary Jane Watson, wasn't spectacular but had great chemistry with Maguire. Dafoe was over-the-top at times as Green Goblin, but there was one scene in particular involving a mirror that was maybe the finest scene in the movie. Supporting actor J.K. Simmons stoke the show as J. Jonah Jameson, publisher of a newspaper trying to make Spider-Man come out looking like a criminal. This DVD is loaded with tons of special features and easter eggs (special features not listed on the menu that you have to 'hunt' for). Included is a gallery of Spider-Man artists, the HBO Special "Making of Spider-Man," and various character files. One of my favorite easter eggs was a CGI gag reel. Good luck finding it, though. Overall, director Sam Raimi has created a comic book movie that's not just for comics fans. Smart, witty, dramatic...Spider-Man has it all, and special feautures that you'll actually watch. I can't recommend it enough.
Rating: Summary: Good Job Marvel Review: This was a good movie and it stayed with the comic book. Except for Mary Jane. His first gf was Gwen and she died on the bridge. I still enjoyed this movie. If you are a fan of Spider-Man then you will enjoy it too.
