I've been a comics fan since the 1950s. I loved all the superhero comics.
Spider-Man was introduced in the early 1960's, along with several other Marvel Super Hero comics. I just loved them all.
In many ways I identified mostly with Spider-Man and Daredevil. They are "human" people, in addition to being superheroes. They have their own emotional problems, and their own challenges in their personal lives.
I anxiously awaited this first Spider-Man movie. I wondered how they could handle a character who's been a part of the comic scene for over 40 years. How could they appeal to "comics veterans" like myself, and to younger people who might be seeing Spider-Man for the first time?
I just loved the movie. It reached me on so many levels. Yes, I loved the thrill of action. I loved Tobey Maguire as Spidey, Kirstin Dunce, as MJ... All of the actors seemed just perfect for the parts they played.
Yes, I can't say it enough. I just loved the first Spider-Man movie, and the second one as well.

If you calculated how many other scenes each scene has relevence to you could show this movie to be statistically less cohesive than most. That's the problem with comic book movies, they try to be an origin story and an ultimate showdown between good and evil and cram it all into 90 minutes. There's no ongoing story throughout most of the movie, every marked out plot point is hit and then forgotten, none having an elaborate enough resolution to engage you before they're over.

When Spider-Man came out people were finally happy to see a comic book movie do justice. The X-Men movie also came out around this time but before this, Superman: The Movie reigned as the best example of a comic book movie, and this is in no way to say that Superman: The Movie or the first Batman are done badly. They could have been even better.
Spider-Man gives you a great character, plenty of action, and a great storyline. It's what action movies strive to do. And Sam Raimi was the perfect director for this one. With The Evil Dead (Book Of The Dead Limited Edition) and The Evil Dead 2 (Book Of The Dead Limited Edition) people knoew he could give these films justice...and did he ever.
These are two of the most packed DVD's in history. It disects the movie from every angle. Two commentaries, a trivia track, plenty of featirettes, and who knows what else are included on these discs. A Must Have for all comic book fans.
Highly recommended.
