Summary: If you buy one dvd all year, make it this one!!!
Review: Where do I begin? This movie simply flatout [super]!! I have loved Spiderman since I first discovered him through th cartoon series of the late 70s/early 80s. I don't recall everything about it, but I do remember that I wanted to be Spiderman. This movie does a great job of transporting me back to that time in my youth. The attention to detail in the special effects and the overall appearence of this movie is amazing. The characters are dynamic and interesting. There isn't a single lull point in this movie. The action is fast paced, well done and exciting. The film really makes you feel as if you were there with Peter Parker. Willam Defoe is perfect as the Green Goblin .... This movie has it all. Action, love, good vs evil and a plot!! When I left the theater I felt like I could do that. I wanted to do that. It was fun! I can't wait for this dvd to come out so I can experience it all over again and check out all the amazing extras. This movie probably won't win the Oscar for movie of the year, but it should. Buy it and see why!!!

Summary: A good adaption!!
Review: As a fan of the Original "Batman" & "Superman", this was a nice comic-book adaption, Tobey McGuire & Kristin Dunst were cast perfectly here as Peter Parker & Mary Jane Watson, although I liked "Attack of the Clones" better in comparison, I can give this one credit where it is due, In this we see the story unfold as Peter, a high school geek, is smitten with Mary Jane, who has a very intimidating boyfriend, on a field trip to a labratory, he is bitten by a radioactive spider, at first his body has a flu-like reaction, but soon his DNA adapts, giving him un-limited power & strength, he soon ajust to his new-found sense of self, & like "Batman" doesn't become a crime fighter until crime hits him personally, Willem Dafoe is here as the Green Goblin who wrecks vengence on those responsible for ousting his alter-ego Norman Osbourne in his research for super strength, it is this action that draws the attention of Peter & his alter-ego, Dafoe is at times quite comical especially when Norman apologizes for being late for a diiner date in which he declares that "work was murder today, sorry I am late" as the Green Goblin wrecks havoc on NY, Spiderman leaps into action & the showdown is quite good, at one point he even suggest Spidey join him, a tempting offer, but he refuses & the Goblin then goes after Mary Jane in an attempt to lure Spidey into a trap, which he does & the two fight it out on what appears to be the Brooklyn Bridge with Mary Jane's fate hanging in the balance, this is where the special effects really come to life, & is a real treat, with a sequel on the way, one can only wonder if it will be ruined the way "Batman" & "Superman" were ruined with their seqeuls, hopefully not, but likely, overall a good movie!!!

Summary: I can't believe I wasted 2 hours of my life...
Review: In my opinion, I think this movie was completely, well...stupid. Spider-man was laughable and the Green Goblin reminded me of a Power Ranger. I have to admit Willem Dafoe is a good actor, but I don't know why he would agree to play the part of a scientist/businessman/robot who flies around on a magical surf board. Most likely the younger audience will find it to be a "really awesome movie", but I think this whole film just went to hell with all the pointless humor, kiddish entertainment and flat-out boring hero vs. villian concept. Instead of "Stupid-Man" I HIGHLY recommend "X-Men", a great movie as well as an excellent adaption from a comic series.

Summary: Spidey rocks!
Review: I was surprised to find I enjoyed this movie even more than Attack of the Clones--and I'm a big Star Wars fan. Partly it was the novelty of the movie, since I didn't know as much about Spiderman man as I did about Superman and Batman, for example, when I was a kid and was reading comics. And partly it was the fact that this was a more intimate movie than Attack of the Clones, since it concentrates on many fewer personalities and goes much more into the development of the Peter Parker character and his immediate family and friends (as well as his enemies). The movie does a great job of realizing Spiderman's abilities, which are put to good effect in the movie. The fight scenes with the Green Goblin are really well done, and the movie seems to succeed without nearly the amount of special effects that the Star Wars movies are using. One minor detail. In the original comic strip, Peter acquires his amazing abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider. In this movie, he's bitten by a genetically engineered super-spider, whose DNA interacts with his own to give him his new-found abilities. All in all a great movie for the summer. Big Steve says go see it and don't Bogart the popcorn.

Summary: A very feature packed DVD!
Review: I have seen the special edition dvd and let me say that there are so many features! I rented the FULLSCREEN VERSION which I have to say butchers the movie's video quality. The image looks scratchy (you can definitely tell it's not remastered by looking at the Columbia logo in the beginning) and unfiltered. Hopefully the Widescreen version will look a whole lot better. Here is a list of the features and comments about them: Disc One:
Weaving the Web: Subtitled Factoids (Haven't viewed the movie with those yet)
Director, Producer and Cast Commmentary (The only cast member is Kirsten Dunst)
SFX Commentary (Pretty much just the SFX team talking about the SFX)
Branchuing Web-i-sodes (Haven't viewed them yet)
Music Videos: Hero by Chad Kroeger and Josey Scott and What We're All About by Sum 41 (The Sum video sucks as does the song, but Hero is the standout video!)
TV Spots (It even has the Cingular Wireless commercial on here)
Theatrical Trailers (Spider-Man, xXx, Men in Black 2, Stuart Little 2, Stan Lee's Mutants, Monsters & Marvels, Mr. Deeds)
Filmographies and Character Files (Just text)
DVD-Rom (RECORD YOUR OWN COMMENTARY, how can you not love that!) Disc Two:
HBO Making of Spider-Man (Standard HBO making of)
Spider-Mania: An E! Entertainment Special (Have not viewed it, but it sounds interesting)
Director Profile: Sam Raimi (Haven't seen it)
Composer Profile: Danny Elfman (zzzzzzzz!)
Screen Tests (Tobey "Spider-Man" Maguire, Kirsten "M.J." Dunst, J.K. Simmons)
Costume and Makeup Tests (Do I really need to add a comment)
Gag/Outtake Reel (Lots of Willem Dafoe outtakes)
Conceptual Art & Production (Design Gallery)
Historical Documentary- Spider-Man: The Mythology of the 21st Century (Self descriptive)
The Spider-Man Comic Archives
Rogues Gallery
The Loves of Peter Parker
Comic Book Artist Gallery
Activision Game: Hints and Tips
DVD-Rom (The video game, Dotcomics, Spider-Man visualizer) All the features are nice. I recommend getting the Widescreen version though!

Summary: VERY GOOD....
Review: Yes, I agree with all of the reviews saying Spider-Man Really Rocked! And the Special DVD with the comic and other extras will be on my list of must have DVDs to get. I grew up watching the old Spidey cartoon and reading the comics when I was a kid. But I also grew up reading and watching Star Wars, so I have to give both movies thumbs-up. Because they were both very good in their own ways. P.S. The DVD edition of Spidey to buy is the one with all the extras like the reprint of "Amazing Fantasy #15 in the box!

Summary: Great summer film.
Review: Spider-Man is one of the best films of the year. Its completely thrilling, with excellent acting and script this is how super hero movies should be made.
And people, please whatever you do get the widescreen version, though this was shot in Open-Matte which composes the image for both the theater and TV, they do because its a very easy process to follow and it causes less distortion than with anamorphic lenses so they use spherical and they also do the process to get rid easier of boom mikes and stuff like that.
But since this film was intended for the theater and since the widescreen version is what was shown in theaters, get the widescreen. Yeah sure you might get more at the top and bottom of the screen in the Full Screen, that is if you want boom mikes and set lights.
So support Mr. Raimi's vision, GET THE WIDESCREEN!

Summary: It Just Doesn't Stack Up to it's Predecessors
Review: I went to see Spider-Man late in its run at theaters, after hearing all the hype, and seeing all the record breaking it had been doing, and one underlying fact appeared to me; this is the most overrated movie of the year. It seem to me like most people are so overjoyed with Spider-Man finally having his own live-action, feature film that they might have forgotten it's faults; namely the lack of plot depth, and lack of any real emotion from the actors involved. It really sounds like I hate this movie, right? Actually no, I think it's a good movie with some great special effects, and some great action. I just think most critics and fans are too easy on this film; and it certainly doesn't stack up to either Tim Burton's amazing 'Batman', or the film that made Christopher Reeve's famous; 'Superman'. The first thing that definitely comes to mind when discussing Spider-Man would have to be the special effects, which are great (though not as good as the effects in movies such as 'Star Wars: Episode II, Attack of the Clones' ... or 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'). But here are my sticking points; like I stated above, there is no real emotion portrayed by Tobey Maquire, or most of the other characters. The only actor that actually seemed to try and portray deeper emotion then the script would allow is Willem DeFoe.
The second point is how the script doesn't deliver any darkness, and has no conflict pretty much whatsoever. This film had a lot of potential; with a good story, this could have been even better then it's two predecessors ('Batman, 'Superman'), but that potential wasn't realized in this film, that probably isn't even as good as Batman's and Superman's first sequels. I don't hate this film - most likely I'll even buy it - but it's just not as good as most people praise it to be, and it's just not a good as the other superhero films out there. ...
