"Spiderman" is a movie that flows like a comic; its rough but smooth, has deep character depth with witty dialogue, and most of all its pure fun just to watch your friendly neighborhood swing into widescreen action.

I loved it. Tobey is very sweet as Peter Parker and utterly sexy as Spiderman.

This movie was the greatest. Tobey Maguire kicked butt and was really cute! :) Kirsten Dunst was so cool and did a great job as Mary Jane. Willem Dafoe was sooo scary as the Green goblin! The other members of the cast were fantasic. The fight scenes rocked and the story was so exciting. This is a movie that you will want to see over and over! If not, something is worng with your brain!

Boring, slow moving, bad dialogue, predictable and (gasp) there could be a sequel.

A cockroach of a movie. The TV cartoon series of the 70s was far darker, more complex, atmospheric, noirish, and thrilling than this sappy tiresome exercise in lame CGI effects. Tobey Maguire is bland as Peter Parker and Willem Defoe as Green Goblin is embarassing. There is however one truly inspired scene when Parker fights a bully in highschool, a real triumph of quasi-psychedelic filmmaking. And, Kirsten Dunst is irresistible in a clean sexy way. However, it's a sad case when live-action movie turns out to be even more cartoonish than the cartoon it's based on.… Expand

Tobey Maguire was the only thing that saved this movie from getting a big zero. The Green Goblin was an absolute joke. What's the point of making a $120 million movie with such a lame Goblin?

This, along with X-Men from 2000, paved the way to the great comic book movie renaissance of the 2000s. A true masterpiece that will be remembered by many Spider-Man fans all over the world.

Entertaining to say the least. Raimi spent time establishing Peter to the "comic-ignorant" and revealed how appealing the dream of overcoming mediocracy. Unfortunately, the action scenes, while intense, don't always have a realistic feel. They are too "final fantasy"-ish, but that is a minor detail. Definitely worth a watch, and then another.

Bad special effects; cheesy lines; making good actors look not so good.

This movie was to me, well, I can't deny this for one moment but it was nothing but great fun! I found this movie to be really one of my top favorite movies!

Bottom line, this movie rocks! Spider-man to the fullest...great start for what I hope to be a great trilogy!!

Better than I'd expected, if you can stand Maguire's nasal whine of a voice. Whenever he's Spiderman and speaks, it ruins it.

I thought it was the best movie of 2002 so far. Spider-Man has excellent special effects (except some of the jumping from building to building) and a pretty good love story. Some of the dialogue can be cheesy, and the Green Goblin looks like a power rangers reject, but I still recommend you go see it. And wait 'til you see the ending! Very cool movie.

It's funny how sam raimi's career has boomeranged into getting him to a place where he would be able to make spider-man:the movie. his natural kinetic visual inclinations have always been perfect for a comic book adaptation but perhaps his recent forays into more legit dramatic work have stirred within him an eye for honest human drama and must certainly have earned him the clout to get attached to such a big budget fx gig. destiny has guided raimi by the hand to spider-man just as surely as it guided peter parker. the movie is wonderful. the best adaptation of a comic book property since the first superman. yes, it's a comic book movie and a 'first issue' so it has to have an origin story. but whereas other films play their origins like unfortunate obligations, raimi takes the brief* opportunity to really ground the characters, if not in our reality, then at least firmly in our humanity. spider-man is as effective as it is because you really do end up caring about peter and his extended, ersatz family. and what the characters lack in tremendous depth, they make up with being sharply drawn. and no character ends up being cardboard cutouts with nothing substantial to do or say - a tremendous accomplishment that speaks for the filmakers' respect for the heart of the material. * and i say BRIEFLY because raimi/koepp MASTERFULLY cuts out boring parts and very deliberately starts exposition at the very last possible moment. less skilled craftsman would land the school bus in the opening scene at school and would have attempted to develop character/dynamics there. a less skilled team would have created a bloated vfx green goblin attack that would have nevertheless bored us silly instead of swiftly cutting out from the first explosion into graduation caps flying into the air. raimi/koepp wisely and continually cut to the chase. the entire film is a lesson in GREAT CHOICES. how bruce campbell gets to play a small but truly significant cameo, the relationship between green goblin and spidey, green goblin's insanity scenes, the stacatto tempo of the bugle scenes... just sound choices everywhere. dunst is great as always. she brings a heart and reality that is really really surprising to find in a 'comic adaptation'. dafoe is terrific - hands down the best comic book villain on the silver screen yet. and maguire ends up being a really great choice to play spider-man. he's always come off as being a bit wooden to me but it is a deliberate facade, i think, that he manipulates - always to proper effect and no less so here. it's funny, it's sweet(!), it's moving, it's exciting. just like the hero, spider-man swings in without pomp, pageantry or self importance, but it doesn't fail to deliver. … Expand

The last 20 minutes redeem it to a level approaching average. The acting is uniformly poor (except for the always worthwhile Willem Dafoe), the script is awful (especially the exchanges between Peter and his "love" interest) and the special FX are mostly no more than passable but become embarrassingly unconvincing during moments such as the bit where he's jumping between rooftops. Compare these with the more than 3 years older "Matrix" you'll find that there is no comparison. "I knew that the FX needed to look real or the audience just wouldn't buy it"(Sam Raimi). Wrong matey, it appears that they have bought it. As for the action, well let's just say that it reminds me of Power Rangers but with bigger explosions and expensive polystyrene balconies. The devices used to move on the story and convey the inner workings of Norman Osborn/Green Goblin are cringe-worthy and resplendent with cackling straight out of a fairground Ghost Train. I can't begin to say how hugely disappointed I was by this film and can only live in hope that the 2 planned sequels improve things or better still don't bother.… Expand

A great film, Spiderman is the perfect example of how to make changes to a comic book sagas original story correctly and subtly to serve it so that it can be told as accurately and smoothly as possible in its movie feature form without the film running for 9 hours. I’ll always love this film; it was done so well, they changed a couple of things but they left in more then enough for it to be Spiderman.… Expand

It was totally AWESOME!!

Fun, but the action scenes lack real energy.

Spider man was okay but the green goblin really sucked and mary jane was to much of a drama queen.

Geh. I'm sorry, but this was not worthy of the comic book. I've read the comic book and enjoyed it, and it was far superior to this movie. The acting was all so cheesy, I found myself wondering if they were TRYING to suck. If so, change my rating to 4; they suck at trying to suck.

Simply the best comic book adaptation ever. The movie follows the comic book storyline almost perfectly, and where it deviates, it does so with style.

Better than the average movie out there and visually very well done but the relation between the characters was awkward. Toby is a good actor but I don't think this was one of his better roles.

These reviews are pretty accurate, except the ones that slam the CGI work for making the action scenes "fail." Whatever. Dramamine should come with your ticket, and the final battle is brutal in ways that would make Stallone's Rocky wince. I just feel bad that the movie has such great reviews on acting and direction, but no one is willing to give it much higher than 7 rating because of the story and its "comic roots." The story is great fantasy material all-around, period. I agree that the out-of-suit stuff passes for headier cinema, but why knock the rest? I know critics need to wear respectful faces and review respectful things, but I've got greater praise for critics who have the courage to take in the WHOLE movie beyond lesser-respected labeling of "comic-book fare" and see what it was created for in the first place.... ENTERTAINMENT. That's true respect to the media.… Expand

Sam Raimi did a fantastic job, he was the perfect choice for this picture. His energetic camera movements along with other sly touches help make this one of the best comic book adaptations. A real good time. And for those who have been complaining about the film kiss off, it rocks.

Very cool movie, stayed true to its comic roots but still adapted itself to film nicely. Tobey Maguire was excellent as was the rest of the cast. My one complaint is I could have stood the plot to have been satretched out a bit more, maybe a half hour longer.

Maguire and Dunst were perfectly cast. The fact that they used plain old "New York" instead of some futuristic, artificial, idiotic "Gotham" or "Metropolis" made the movie much more accessible. This is clearly the best comic-to-film conversion since Bluntman & Chronic. Yes, the Green Goblin was less-than-impressive, but that's what sequels are for. The theme song from the original T.V. show, which plays toward the end of the credits, is a real treat. It brings back memories.… Expand

A MUST see! The storyline is WONDERFUL. The acting is superb. The action sequences where Spiderman is in battle will BLOW YOU AWAY! Nothing phony about this movie. You will want to go again & again.

Spiderman is the most entertaining action movie to come out since the Matrix. But the movie is particularly unique because the action scenes are almost overshadowed by the scenes of common human emotions. Like a Shakespearian drama; the movie weaves a complex storyline around a colorful web of characters, all remarkable well-acted. The chemistry between Maguire and Dunst is amazing and provides the plot a solid and credible backbone. This is by far one of the most enjoyable and memorable movies I have ever seen.… Expand

The movie was great. It had a great basic story that then developed extremely well with good plot twist. The characters were amazing as was the action. The best part of this film is that it is not just an action flick. It had a great story as well. Great movie.

I loved this movie.

Intense movie! Kristen is pure sexy! If i was Spiderman, I would go cha ching cha ching with her first.

I waited for ten years to see this baby, and it was worth it. Sam Raimi captured the angst and thrill of webslinging that is Peter Parker, and Tobey Maguire was perfectly cast as the tortured hero. The source material is near perfect, and the film did well to not vary far from it.

Absolutely brilliant. The effects were amazing and the "superman" saving "the pretty lady" acting is very sweet. Tobey and Kristen sure make a great couple ( in movies of course)

I wanted to make it a 15 but I cant, this movie is the best.

Spider man eats my ass, a truly epic piece of crap.

A very cool and entertaining film. Unfortunately the green goblin's costume was a bit sh.tty. A good adaptation of the commics anyhow.

Best movie ever.

A an unashamedly silly superhero movie. One that would seem cliched on paper but is utterly sincere on screen. Maguire, Dafoe and Dunst and all of the cast are excellent. Action scenes are fast and furious and silly moments like when Peter pulls open his shirt to reveal his Spiderman costume only add to the fun. This is a rare thing. A popcorn movie with genuine heart and much MUCH better than Bryan Singer's flat, dull and dumb adaptation of X-Men.… Expand

I do like this movie but the more i watch it, the less i enjoy it. This is because the flaws that i notice as a fan of the comics become more apparent. The largest of these flaws is the goblin costume which sucked, was dull and bland needed more color (ie some purple here and there)and the looke ridiculous in some scenes, particulary the scene in which the goblin tried to get Spiderman to join him. Moving on from the costume there scene that really irritates me. The one in which Flash Thompson attempts to beat up young parker and while dodging Flash's punches Peter does a double/triple somersault that is so ridiculous in it gravity defying manner it should be impossible. Wouldn't someone have found this a little odd!!!!!. Putting this aside i do have some postive things to say about the movie, mainly its the cast who save this movie, the majority (ie not harry osborn) play the party well enough, although i think on some level most were miscast. Toby maguire was great as Peter Parker but not the best casting, no!!, in my opinion the best performance was given by JK. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson. So in conclusion i feel that although the film was (at least) knee deep in flaws it still had the heart of the comic/character to see it through. … Expand

I really loved Spider Man. It had everything in a movie. It even had some really sad parts toward the end of the movie. It was a really good movie.

IT ROCKS!!

Spider-Man swings, kicks and nails an A+ action hit, especially with great stars like Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, this is a film to behold !!! Spider-Man 2 is even better with a tougher, yet furious villain: Doc Ock and manages to score an A-, which means a great sequel comes fast & furious. Spider-Man 3 is rumored to be out May 4, 2007.

Predictable and corny at times, this movie has good special effects and the concept is original. However, that concept is more than 40 years old and this movie's plot looked like a direct translation from comic-to-script. This might please comic book or spiderman purists, but it doesn't make for a legendary movie. It's still entertaining and worth viewing, but don't expect it to change your outlook on life.… Expand

A modern day classic about one of the greatest fantasy characters of all.

This is my favorite movie next to the Fellowship of the Ring. I've seen it 5 times, litterally. Not only was this movie romantic, it was romantic in a way that didn't involve sex or nudity, thank God. It was very touching as well. One person said there was a scene where MaryJane was running in a white blouse in the rain, and they did this on purpose so when it was wet you could see her...nevermind. But whoever said that wasn't too observent. MaryJane was wearing a PURPLE tank top thank you very much! And the only low neckline shirt she ever wore was in the beginning of the movie. My favorite thing that I loved and became obsessed with about this movie, was sweet Tobey Maguire, who made a sweet Peter. Kudos to you, Tobey! :) … Expand

Yes, the CGI's a little too shiny, and nowhere near "GREAT CRIKEY MOSES, THAT'S A HUMAN SPIDER! OH MY GOOD GOD! HE'S SWINGING ACROSS BUILDINGS! HE-IS-SWINGING-ACROSS-GOD-DAMN-BUILDINGS!" enough, but in all other respects this is a nummy treat. Especially Willem Dafoe - who has to be literally formed out of compacted rubber.

Its amazing how many recent movies have sucked. This is the first decent one to come by in a while but it is incredible. When the screen isn't lighted up with great action, it still grips the viewer with an incredible sense of suspense. The entire storyline is thought out so perfectly that it adds all sorts of twists without becoming unbelievable in the slightest. If you missed this in the theaters or you're coming back for a second look, don't hesitate to pick this one up.… Expand

The movie was quite good but it was not entirely true to the comic book. For example, the method that Spiderman shoots his webbing is different from the comic version. Mary Jane was never a classmate of Peter Parker. The portrayal of how Uncle Ben is killed has been changed and there are a number of little nuances for someone like me. Now this isn't to say that this was not a great movie. In fact, I am going to see it again. The action sequences were great and the story line is good. The special effects are simply out of this world. There is very little too to criticize. If you haven't seen it as yet - go and be amazed. … Expand

I thought I was watching two different movies. The first half was pretty good and interesting. The second half seemed to drag. Overall the movie was okay but I did not leave the theater thinking about it.

This movie should only be watched by people who are free from giddiness.

Lots of fun.

Rather boring. I'm not sure why it's making so much money - the American public needs to wake up and realize it's a bad movie. Boring, stupid, bad love story - and I was so looking forward to it! Great review on www.reconstructedbellybutton.com

YES, there special effects shots were somewhat cheesey, particularly after Peter Parker first gets his powers. YES, the Green Goblin would have looked better with a mobile mask. BUT, Willem Defoe is absolutely perfect as the Goblin, and Tobey Maguire lends a sincerity to the role of Peter Parker it might not have had with any other actor. The hardest thing for me to believe was Kristen Dunst as a red-head...Overall, a funny movie with a smart, modern take on the legend.… Expand

It's no masterpiece, but it's a good time at the movies.

I give it a 9: It kicks some serious a**.

This was one of the greatest movie's I have ever seen, up there with Fellowship of the Ring, and Empire Stikes Back.

Dazzling! The best superhero movie of the past 10 years!

Wow, this is an awesome movie. The plot is a little thin at times (aside from the love story). Tobey Maguire IS Spider-man. Spider-man is, quite possibly, the best comic book/superhero movie I've seen. It ranks right up there with the first Batman. This movie will break records, as Bonesaw Mc Graw would say "Oh yeah!!!!!"

This movie is great. I dont understand how anyone could hate this movie. Willem dafoe's acting as the green goblin is excellent.

Despite very few entertaining moments, this movie is plain boredom. Worse are the visualFX, the 3d characters are badly design, awfully animated and compositing is way below average. Amateur work for blinds.

Most of the "wow" type comments are taken, so instead of harking on about how great a movie this is (and it is a great movie) I'll instead try to answer a few points made below..... 1# The Two Towers is different from the books. Yes. It is. And thank goodness for that. No movie will ever capture the full scope and history of the books without making one movie per chapter and being as boring as hell. Don't get me wrong, the books are great, but what works for a book will not always work for a movie. PJ always said that of the three movies, TTT was going to depart the most from the books - but it's all for good reason. He is making a movie, and that means altering things to fit. I loved seeing Arwen as she glimpsed her own future, and what it would cost her... and for her to play a meaningful part in the movie, those who haven't read the books needed to see just what being with Aragorn means for her future. 2# The Two Towers is missing bits! To put any more in a movie already 3hours long would have been folly. Some of what was left out will be in the extended version, so I'm hanging out for that. But actually most of the "cut" matarial has been moved over to 'Return of the King'. The reason is that the third book is about one third as long as the other two, most of it's pages going to the large appendix at the back... I for one am glad for such forsight, least the Fallowship turn up in movie three with nothing more to do. And yes, "she" will be in the third movie. 3# It's not as good/deep as Fellowship Actually, yes it is... in fact it IS Fellowship. Remember that this is one huge movie and , being the start of the movie, Fellowship got a lot of the the character building. But in TTT we have well established characters and the movie is about what happens to them, not the characters themselves. Return of the King will, as will as offer the finial part of the story, give us a chance to look at how far our friends have come, and see how they have been changed. It's all rather silly that every section of a movie must contain the same elements all the way through, and TTT is just one part of a much larger 3 hour picture. My last word will be to say that the best way to watch The Two Towers is to watch it stright after watching the extended version of Fellowship of the Ring.... togeather like they were made, and meant to be.… Expand

The Good: Really fun, good SFX, nicely shot, good job by almost everyone, especially BRUCE CAMBELL!! The Bad: Willem Dafoe had too much fun, The screenplay, I was a tiny bit disappointed by the action scenes, not enough of this cool slo-mo thing that they did in the beginning. And The Ugly: The dialouge was almost unbearable, some really stupid scenes.

Spiderman is the best superhero in the story of the comic. Beeeennnnnn.

This movie was just AWESOME. The cast was perfect and delivered great performances (especially Tobey) and the special effects were certainly top-notch and thrilling (let's face it, CGI is NOT perfect people). Spider-Man is one captivating movie for everyone - it's a lot of fun, and is definitely my favorite comic book movie (or any kind of movie for that matter) of all time. Go see it! nuff' said.… Expand

Beautifully realized. This may be the best adaptation of a comic book ever done. Look out for JK Simmons' "J. Jonah Jameson."

I have two words for this movie.... teen flick. Regardless of whether I'm speaking as a fan or as a movie-goer, these two words sum up exactly what this movie is. The impression I got from the movie was this...it's a teenage love story between a geek and a slut, oh...and by the way, the geek has super powers...the end. I think they should've saved us all a lot of money and a lot of grief by calling the movie what it is... "The Life of Peter Parker" because Spiderman actually appeared in less than 20% of the movie. The Spiderman component was so small; it was almost like an after thought that the producers squeezed in later. This movie seems to have started as an old fashion kiddies love story, but since that idea doesn't sell tickets anymore, someone decides to throw in the Spiderman bit. The title is really misleading because I truly felt we're looking at this backwards. The truth is, it's a teenybopper story that used the superpower idea as an excuse to show off their fancy computer work. This movie did not deliver as a Spiderman Movie; in fact, it didn't even deliver as a movie. The plotline was childishly simple and unbelievably inconsistent; action sequence was nothing but bad knock-offs of expensive camera tricks seen in "The Matrix", "X-Men", "Swordfish", etc. The entire movie looked like it was shot in Queens, NY and the rest was mediocre 3D rendered environments where we see a computer-generated Spiderman swinging from building to building. I'm going to guess that that's where all the money went, because it sure didn't go to the casting of good actors. Tobey Maguire was a perfect Peter Parker, but a horrible Spiderman. The only real actor that made up for this colossal casting mistake was the performance by Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin. He seems to be the only one who actually knew what he was doing, and was performing "in character". Everyone else was merely regurgitating long run-on sentences in corny scenes that were completely irrelevant to the overall plot. This 2002 version was no better than the 1970's mini movies and the cartoon show. It still looks like some guy wearing a Halloween costume running around the city of Queens. You never wondered why Batman didn't look silly popping out gadgets from the rooftops of Gotham City, or how a group of mutants in tight black costumes wouldn't look odd running through New York. Why? In both "Batman" and "X-Men", the scenery, location, props, characters and dialogue were all created around the superhero, not vice versa. Anyone can just shoot a movie about a guy in a skin-tight outfit who catches poorly themed villains, but not everyone can do it so it doesn't look like one big costume party in your backyard. Once again, this movie is reminiscent of last year's "Tomb Raider", a movie composed of mainly photographic images of Angelina Jolie in her cool poses and badly choreographed fighting sequence, but no substance. So, if you haven't seen this movie. I suggest you save yourself some money, and just watch the trailers, which, like all movie trailers have spoiled it by showing you all the best parts of the movie. Then basically, leaving you high and dry and unsatisfied with your jumbo popcorn on your lap. I can honestly tell you, it's not going to get any better than what you see in those trailers. Other than this 30-second clip of high tech computer generated images, everything else are fillers. … Expand

Wow. Honestly, i was expecting another X-men type movie. A 4 page script with 2 dimentinal characters. The story in this was awesome and the acting was outstanding. My favorite scene was Kirsten Dunst in the rain. I would have only given this movie an 8, but the awesome Hulk trailer at the beginning earned it the extra 2 points. Also, we can actually see spiderman's EARS under the mask.

This is an awesome movie! The fighting, the flirting, the danger, the kiss, the evil, the good.. it's all there! Spiderman rocks my world and anyone who doesnt like it, should be severely beaten with a wet noodle.

Besides the Matrix this is my favorite movie! Everyone in the world should go see this.

Greatest movie in the world!!!

Solid, very solid. The parts where it suffers are the parts that just wouldn't translate anyway from comics to the screen, such as some of the hero dialogue and clichéd highschool terms. Only big complaint is the villain, I agree he looks like a Power Rangers reject, and Dafoe only pulls it off when he's Norman amongst the other characters. His dialogue is stupid, he has no large sinister plot that must be stopped, and he achieves his cause very early on, giving him little reason to keep going. I would say that's as good as it gets but of course Jack Nicholson completely proves that wrong from Batman. Those are the only flaws, everything else, the action, the music, and the love story are quite solid and will leave anyone satisfied and smiling.… Expand

This is the best movie made from comic books. This was the best action-packed movie I have seen in years. Can't wait till the sequel.

Toby Maguire and Kirsten Dunst made magic in this movie. I hope they make a Spider Man2.

The only people who really and I mean really really hate this movie are die hard Star wars fans. I liked this movie but I know some of you expected more thats why there are so neg reviews but people are just bias towards this movie because it outdid star wars this summer.

SpiderMan was a waste of time & money to see that. Star Wars was fifty times better Star Wars was worth paying to see.

One of the best movies of the summer. It takes into account all of the awful comic-book films ("Spawn","Punisher") and improves on all of them. It gives you (GASP!) actual character development and a decent villain. The script has a few cheesy lines in it and the special effects look like something out of "Super Mario" at points in the film. But these are all minor flaws and mean nothing when compared to the trash that's been served up this summer.… Expand

I would give it a ten but with Osbornes memories those loud noises made me jump! And I didnt like how peter dumped maryjane. Anyway Spider-Man is my favorite hero. Kirsten Dunst is so sexy!

This is my absolute favorite movie ever! It's got action, comedy, romance, etc. It's not just a chick flick, it's got stuff for guys too. This is an amazing movie and everyone should see it!

Man Zarchary, no wonder you hate this movie- your another starwars FREAK.

Being a Spider-man Fan, I have to say this film is a really good adaptation of the comics. The CG effects were amazing, although it was easy to tell if it was CG or not. The love story was pretty corny, and the the romantic scenes were 10mins too long, or at least it seemed like it. In my opinion, the best part was when Peter finally learns how to swing, and chases after the man who killed his uncle. The dumbest thing in the movie was Green Goblin's Costume. I couldn't stop laughing. Overall, It's a really good film and adaptation of the comics. I highly recommend it.… Expand

Was I the only one that could point out about a million obvious mistakes with this fairly unfaithful comic book adaption? Don't get me wrong, this movie is fun and enjoyable to people who don't really pay much attention to the comic, but for those who are true fans of the comic, dissapointment runs rampant. The problem lies within the lucratively bent plot that swaps character identities and leaves you wondering in the final scene just how the editors didn't fix Marry Jane's dancing hand. Watch the movie again... you'll see what I mean! Obvious errors like this and cartoonish, almost fast-forward fight sequences don't help too much, either. Hopefully the next one will turn out a bit better than this, with an enemy worthy of a full length feature and, perhaps, a spin-off. Venom, anyone?!… Expand

Briliant! the 2002 summer highlight!

I don't read comics but, like those who do, I was slightly disappointed with this film. I'm not going to list them but I just feel there was several weak points about the film, whether it be in-the-making or with the liberties taken with the story. The best feature of the film (by a country mile) was Kirsten Dunst. She was simply gorgeous! Actually I will go on record here as saying that in watching this film I think I fell in love, but anyway, that's another story... Overall, I did enjoy this film, but I was disappoined that I didn't like it more.… Expand

It's the best movie ever!!!! The CGI was so cool. The movie just sucks you up and changes you! I am now a spider-man fan because of this movie!

Spidey oh spidey fun ride great movie.

Most EXCELLENT!!!

This is a great movie about my favorite character. Period. That's all I need to say, it deserves the 9 that I gave it...I could explain why in very in-depth detail, but to be honest, I'm kind of lazy right now. One of my favorite, if not my favorite movie of all time...Well, all of the Spider-Man movies are my favorites! Let's put it that way.

One of my favorite movie at all times.

A numbing movie. Why is everyone on the Ledger bandwagon? Yes, it was an enjoyable performance. But keep in mind how juicy the role was and that any number of actors could have given equally enjoyable performances.

If the action scenes are a little too obviously computer generated, this is still an engaging and very satisfying film with right-on performances and a perfect tone.

Lousy film. green guy was a joke.

This movie blows!! Even the people who made it were surprised that their piece of crap creation did so well.

Fight scenes sucked, couldn't wait 'till movie finish so i could go home!

The best superhero movie ever. It has romance, action, suspence you name it.

My favorite superhero movie since the original Batman. I think this is the first superhero film where I've actually totally, completely bought our hero in his secret identity. Christopher Reeves looked too beefy to be Clark Kent, and Michael Keaton wasn't suave enough to be Bruce Wayne. However, Tobey Maguire is definitely geeky enough for Peter Parker, and absolutely shines, alongside the rest of the stellar cast. However, that humanity that is such a character of the comics and most of this movie falls apart in most of the action sequences. Let's hope they go back to the drawing board before Spider-Man 2.… Expand

Fantastic, never before has an action movie held such teriffic action along with a plot as wonderful as its action. Fantastic.

Stupid, idiotic, maguire's is horrible as spider-man --- don't go see it. Great review on www.reconstructedbellybutton.com

It was awesome! Tobey McGuire was the perfect candidate for 'Peter Parker'. The special effects were great. The plot line was good. Over all it was the best movie.
