Summary: doesnt live up to the hype but descent
Review: Organic webshooters, removed spidey like dialogue, and a weak version of the green goblin but hey, its got romance. This movie is a cookie cutter movie with all aspects of filmaking to try and make it appeal to the biggest consumer group possible. Sam Raimi did a descent job keeping it entertaining though. Besides the fact that spidey cant win a fight on purpose, they alwasy gonna die on "accident" this movie is a nice little adventure to get away from whatever. Just dont buy into the hype, its not that good.

Summary: Visually INTENSE
Review: Based on the comic book hero, Spider-Man is a superhero blockbuster. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is a goofy, dweebish, brainiac student who gains superhuman strength and the spider-like ability to cling to any surface and throw webs after being bitten by a genetically-altered spider on a school fieldtrip. Peter's exploration and experimentation with his new powers is hilarious. But after witnessing a crime and becoming a victim himself, he vows to use his abilities to fight crime, finally understanding the words of his beloved Uncle Ben, "With great power comes great responsibility." The greatest test comes in the form of the Green Goblin, who is the deadly alter ego of businessman/scientist Norman Osborn (Willem Dafoe). Meanwhile, Peter also battles his love for the beautiful girl-next-door (literally), Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst), who finds herself falling for Spider-man after he saves her life.An excellent storyline, perfect casting, and certainly packed with action makes Spider-Man a hit. Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst both convincingly portrayed their characters. The villain, however, was cast the best with Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin. Peter's best friend, Harry Osborn, is played by James Franco (TNT's James Dean and City By The Sea). Even in a smaller supporting role, Franco still has that on-screen, James Dean intensity and you can't look away. The swinging-action scenes and special effects are really great. They play like a great video game, but, guess what . . . you're in it! Even the film's intro. is visually intense and mesmerizing. I made ever effort to see this on the big-screen because I knew it would be worth it. Boy, was I right! PS-check out the movie soundtrack. It's really great.

Summary: Unfortunately, this movie did very little for me
Review: Not being a spiderman fan, i went into this movie expecting nothing more than 2 hours of entertainment -- what you expect from similar blockbusters. And yet, as I watched the movie from beginning to end, I was startled at how predictable and boring the plot was. (on a side note, what is with the Green Goblin's costume? Almost laughable!) And they could have done so much more with it! Tobey Maguire was Ok acting-wise, but certainly not great; Kirsten Dunst was equally mediocre; The Aunt and Uncle weren't too bad. Although, while watching it, it is interesting to note how many times the characters wear black gloves. I am embarassed that the top five U.S. box office hits ever include Titanic, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and this movie. ... I am really surprised how much this movie has been praised - I thought (contrary to what I expected) that Episode II was more entertaining. ...
However, there were a few redeeming aspects. All in all, it is an enjoyable but not *special* movie. The most disturbing thing is that there was so much potential to create a really stunning film, and what is delivered is instead adequate entertainment in the form of a summer blockbuster seemingly only concerned with making money. Hopefully the sequels will be better.

Summary: What was this
Review: Granted the first say 15 minutes of this movie was ok, but the rest has led me to label this movie one of the biggest disapointments and over praised movies ever. As a casual fan of spiderman I thought the visual effects seemed childish to the mastery of the visual art as presented in Star wars attack of the clones. Further the love story was even worse. The best movie of 2002 was not Spider Man. That honor i would humbly give to Atack of the clones or the Oedopian Minority Report.

Summary: Fun Fun Fun
Review: One star reviewers--I'm sorry Spiderman didn't reach the literary heights you apparently were duped into believing it would. (Are you kidding?) Perhaps the producers can resurrect T.S. Eliot to do the sequel's screenplay. Maybe you start your own review site so you and your friend(s) can share your film suffering. I admit it.I am an old dude who read Spidey since the early days. I also have read Shakespeare. But I did not go to see artistic expression or some director/write suffering for his art. I went expecting great escapism and fun and I was not disappointed. If self-centered artistic expression is your bag, you should watch IFC more. Now there's a channel with angst to spare. For me, I anxiously await the DVD.

Summary: not so cool
Review: this movie it wasnt too bad, but it wasnt so cool. i expected more, action. The end, was a "fast-ending", like they dont know what ending they will put. anyway, I dont see on the dvd special features, deleted scenes. One of my favorite trailer is the one that the helicopter get stuck between the 2 towers of the World Trade Center (R.I.P). Thats my favortie part and its not on the dvd... PEACE IN VIEQUES, IN THE U.S. AND IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!
