For devoted fans and nonfans alike, Spider-Man offers nothing less--and nothing more--than what you'd expect from a superhero blockbuster. Having proven his comic-book savvy with the original Darkman, director Sam Raimi brings ample energy and enthusiasm to Spidey's origin story, nicely establishing high-school nebbish Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) as a brainy outcast who reacts with appropriate euphoria--and well-tempered maturity--when a "super-spider" bite transforms him into the amazingly agile, web-shooting Spider-Man. That's all well and good, and so is Kirsten Dunst as Parker's girl-next-door sweetheart. Where Spider-Man falls short is in its hyperactive CGI action sequences, which play like a video game instead of the gravity-defying exploits of a flesh-and-blood superhero. Willem Dafoe is perfectly cast as Spidey's schizoid nemesis, the Green Goblin, and the movie's a lot of fun overall. It's no match for Superman and Batman in bringing a beloved character to the screen, but it places a respectable third. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - power and responsibility . . . Spider-Man in the hands of Sam Raimi
For its time, Spider-Man (2002) is an impressive technical achievement, as well as an entertaining, straight ahead action film.

Spider-Man was created by Stan Lee and Steve Dikto, back in 1963, and has become an icon among comic book superheroes. In 1967, Spider-Man appeared in an animated series, that captured ... Read More

Purchased this DVD set to replace the VHS tape we had originally, so that we could watch it on our new tv. Great buy!

Rating: - movie
The disc came to me with a huge sticky smudge all over it along with several deep scratches. Therefore the disc would not play even after I cleaned it as best as possible.

Rating: - This Superheroic Slugfest/Love Story/Coming-of-Age Movie Made the Wait for This Flick Well Worth It!
This flick was decades in the making. So many legal setbacks forced Spider-man to bounce from rights holder to rights holder before finally finding a place with Sony to deliver the goods.

The hype surrounding this movie was astounding. I remember getting my copy of the soundtrack before the movie came out, and not just that, but also a copy of the "Hero" single by Nickelback as well. Seeing Spidey swinging over a gold-bathed New York on its cover got me even more stoked for this film.

Rating: - With Great Films Comes Great Responsibility to Watch!
2002 saw the start of the era of the comic book movie, one that was heavy on tight storylines, great special effects and cunning direction. Spider-man fit that bill. Marvel Comics prime superhero, his story is interesting, his facts everyone can relate to.

Everything Peter is, Norman Osborn is too, except the Goblin is not a hero. As the Goblin said, "We are what we choose to be!"

Norman's company is about to die a slow death. He's not getting the military contracts he ... Read More
