Spider-Man is the kind of movie that I can watch again and again that has never aged. It has only been a few years since it came out in theaters, but it is still as fun and spectacular as it was when I first watched it way back then. I have been a Spidey fan since the 80s, so he has always been a hero of mine, you can imagine the thrill I had when I finally got to see him on the big screen. Sam Raimi did an excellent job on this movie and it shows from beginning to end.
Tobey McGuire is definitely the perfect choice to play Peter Parker/Spider-Man. He definitely brings the nerdiness out of Peter, but also brings the strength and courage of Spider-Man. You feel for the guy when a certain family member dies, and you cheer when he finally gets his revenge on those who hurt him and his family. With that said, I think the real movie star is Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin. He is an incredible actor and is always fun to see on screen. From his change in voice to his facial expressions when he is the Goblin, no wonder he has been kept for the sequels, he is just someone fun to watch.
Overall, this is a movie that you have to see if you haven't already, whether you are a fan or not. The story and script is both compelling and fun and the special effects are amazing. What can be said that hasn't already? This movie is awesome and it is something that you just have to see to believe. Incredible

I think this is the best superhero action movie since the first Batman back in 1989. I loved the visuals and the character development was superbly done. Overall great story, great movie, and it was even inspirational!

It's great. One of the few times super-heroes are done by a director
who knows the comics.

Spider-man is the summer blockbuster based on the old Marvel comic book. It is fun to watch, but is nothing more than that.
The story follows Peter Parker, a misfit teen, who is bit by a genetically altered spider in a science lab. The spider gives him supernatural 'spider' powers, including the ability to swing from webs and climb up and down buildings. It also gives him great agility. He, at first, uses these powers for bad, seeking money and revenge for his uncle's murder. But soon he sees the light and starts catching criminals. He becomes the city phantom.
Parker's best friend's father's name is Norman Osborne. Osborne's multi-million dollar company is making large suits and chemicals to make the human body stronger. Osborne tries these chemicals and is overpowered by an evil essence called the Green Goblin. The Goblin controls his mind and causes him to murder many innocent people. Osborne then turns evil. It is up to Spider-man, aka Peter Parker, to stop the Green Goblin, aka Norman Osborne, and save the city, as well as the ones he loves.
This movie is made kind of like a video game in the sense that everything takes place swinging fast from high buildings. It is a fun movie, and I reccommend watching it.

There's no need to discuss the plot of SPIDER-MAN, and that isn't because the story is secondary to action in the movie. It isn't because even people who have never picked up a SPIDER-MAN comic book know that Peter Parker got his powers from a bite from a radioactive (or, in the context of the movie, mutant) spider. It isn't because the popularity of the character made sure that every living person on the planet would sooner or later see the SPIDER-MAN movie.
It's because what's worth talking about in a review of the SPIDER-MAN movie is the fact that the characters as well as the comic itself have been done justice. SPIDER-MAN is one of the most iconic, beloved, and enduring creations in comics, and in many ways, embodies all of the most essential qualities of a superhero. A movie based on his comic could only work if it were taken as seriously as anything Shakespeare wrote.
It taken seriously, and just in the nick of time too. SPIDER-MAN mave have had more difficulty getting made than any other comic book adaptation ever. If it hadn't been made when it was, Spidey may very well have lost all hope of making a live action, big screen appearance.
But after seeing SPIDER-MAN, it' pretty clear that the web-slinger won't be going anywhere for a long time.
