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

I'm being nice with my rating. Spiderman is an OK and entertaining enough film, but thats it really. There could have been moments of greatness, but then the Green Goblin showed up...And then there is Kirsten Dunst. I found her completely dislikable, therefore, I couldn't really get into the whole romantic side of the film. The effects were the greatest part of the movie. As far as plot goes, it really could have been better. There are far more superior comic book films out there.

I'm not a comics fan (though I used to be), but I took this video out of the library's collection, and I'm glad I did. You don't even have to be familiar with the original book to appreciate it, though if you are, you'll see immediately that the scriptwriters have been careful to remain true to it while still updating it for the 21st Century. What's more, it retains the angsty and sometimes dark flavor for which Marvel has long been famous. Hero Peter Parker starts out as a nerd--a science whiz ... Read More

Spiderman is better than 3 stars but its not a 4 star movie. It starts well enough and Peter Parkers discovery of his new found powers is well done both in the School scenes and later in the wrestling/cage fight. The fight in the school is very well done and Parker's discovery of his new much faster reactions remains perhaps the highpoint of the film. Its in this section of the film that the director Sam Raimi's touch is most evident.
However the film loses momentum and gets more and ... Read More

I love it. The story to it is good and the acting is equally good. The special effects and cinematography rock too. You want a good action film this is one of the good ones. I don't bother with the sequels though, for they are not good in my opinion.
