A near perfect Spider-Man film, Raimi's first outing perfectly captures what made the character a cultural icon.

The plot is entertaining yet so simple. Tobey Maguire is still the best Spider-Man and Willem Dafoe is the best Green Goblin. The casting choices were stupendous and so were the performances. Whatever flaws this movie has, I'd still give it a 9/10.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This first installment of Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy is a strong and engaging outing for the character. The story, writing, directing, action and acting are all really good. Even the effects are pretty good, which is impressive considering that this movie came out in 2002, 6 years before the MCU started with Iron Man. Tobey Maguire does a great job with portraying Peter Parker and embodying the nerdiness and awkwardness of the character and also showing Peter’s character development once he becomes Spider-Man. The dialogue and chemistry allow the scenes in this movie to flow really smoothly and make it very easy to watch. Norman Osborn is an interesting antagonist played well by Willem Dafoe since this is an uncommon instance where we see how a villain becomes a villain. Norman is intriguing because he isn’t inherently evil in this film and it’s nice to see how he becomes an antagonist. The other substantial actors and supporting cast all give nice contributions to the movie and are able to inject humor at some parts. This movie has depth and a lot of stuff going on in it but yet still feels like a humble movie. It doesn’t go overboard with fancy special effects and does its best to not get overcomplicated and be a bit relatable. Peter is experiencing typical teenage boy problems: balancing school and his “extracurricular commitments” with trying to get the girl. This leads me to my biggest criticism of the movie: Tobey Maguire wasn’t a teenager when he played this part. He was in mid-20s (I believe) when this movie came out, and it might’ve been nice to see a younger face play the part so the whole teenage struggle component would been even a bit more relatable. That said, the film ends on a satisfying note while still leaving plenty of room for more storytelling. It leaves the door open for sequels without ending on a cliffhanger or a teaser and creating real incentive for a sequel to happen. This film overall is nice structurally and well executed and I recommend it anyone who’s a fan of the titular character but is also interesting in checking out some Marvel films from the beginning of the 2000s.… Expand

Tobey Maguire will always be the Spider-Man I grew up with and Williem Dafoe is fantastic as the Green Goblin. The action sequences are well-choreographed and hold up well for the most part, especially the final fight scene. The cinematography is dazzling to look at and the editing keeps the movie at a nice pace. The story is also well-written, as it manages to flesh out the characters and the world of Spider-Man. This film will always have a special place in my heart and it still remains one of the best superhero origin films ever made.… Expand

As someone who has read the original comics, I can very much see what all changes have been brought in this movie from the source material. And they have done it absolutely correctly. It seems better to see Peter Parker as someone who choosesAs someone who has read the original comics, I can very much see what all changes have been brought in this movie from the source material. And they have done it absolutely correctly. It seems better to see Peter Parker as someone who chooses to use his proto suit to fight in a cage match than to see him as a celebrity. The scene of Uncle Ben being shot down by a thug was really emotional to see, as he left the message for Peter - "With great power comes great responsibility".

Peter is left to choose his own destiny as a high school teenager who has to deal with a death in the family, his career after school and being a new hope of humanity. At many points throughout the movie I felt that if I were him I would have been completely broken. But that's exactly what makes him a hero. He deals with all the situations and makes it look so simple.

I even feel bad for Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin. He had worked so hard on his project but finally it was suspended. He was struck with grief and then the next moment he's the iconic Spider-Man villain. Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin looked way better than the comic counterpart. And his motivations were exactly like how we'd expect Green Goblin to be like.

Spider-Man is one of those movies I often come back to see from time to time. I really like how the very first Spider-Man movie has set a benchmark for the future movies. It looks absolutely natural and has pretty good CGI for its time. The visual tone and colour palette are absolutely like an early 2000s film. It's a must watch movie for anyone starting to see Hollywood movies.… Expand

Spider-Man (2002) - With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility!
Considered as one of the most successful superhero movies ever made, "Spider-Man" is a superhero film adaptation of one of Stan Lee's most popular Marvel comics, and becomingSpider-Man (2002) - With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility!
Considered as one of the most successful superhero movies ever made, "Spider-Man" is a superhero film adaptation of one of Stan Lee's most popular Marvel comics, and becoming one of the first movies to score the highest opening weekend in the box office. There's no wonder, because this is an exciting and enjoyable motion picture. One of my childhood favorites, to be exact! This movie tells the origin story of Peter Parker, or Spider-Man, portrayed by Tobey Maguire, whom after being bit by a radioactive spider, he has gained extraordinary powers to climb walls, shoot web, and beat bad guys. But all that must be put to the test when Parker has to defeat one of the first villains of the Spider-Man universe, the Green Goblin, portrayed by Willem Dafoe. Although Maguire is somewhat bland in a few of his movies, I respected that he fit the role of Peter Parker perfectly, playing a shy kid, with no powers to either beat the bad guy or win the girl. Although given some of the corniest lines of dialouge in this movie, Kirsten Dunst makes an adorable portrayal as Mary Jane Watson, while giving a great chemistry with her co-star. But, Willem Dafoe seems a little miscast playing the deadly Green Goblin, feeling more like he's suitable for drama, instead of action. Rosemary Harris, James Franco, Cliff Robertson, and J.K. Simmons, round up the supporting cast, bringing some memorable performances on-screen, especially Simmons, who steals every scene he's in as J. Jonah Jameson, the angry editor chief of the Daily Bugle. There are few corny and goofy moments from here and there, but that doesn't stop the exciting momentum that this movie brings. Filled with impressive visual effects and a wonderful music score by Danny Elfman, director Sam Raimi perfectly stays true to the original Spider-Man concept, and delivers plenty of exciting action sequences that are both fun to watch, and stay true to the plot. Behind "The Dark Knight" and "The Avengers", "Spider-Man" is probably my third favorite superhero movie. I can watch this movie over and over again, and it's still a fun time. I was easily impressed with this movie, and it never disappoints to entertain. Everyone will find something to enjoy for sure. "Spider-Man", in my review, "a refreshing story, and exciting action"..… Expand

I think this movie worksThis is simultaneously the most campy and most dark Spider-Man movie. Ifs actually funny how some transitions and performances are so clearly indicating camp while scenes that follow take themselves 1 00% seriously. I think this movie works because of this formula. The campiness endears you to the characters such that when they are thrust into those perilous and/ or dramatic scenes, you do really care about them. Thinking about it more, this is not a new concept. Sitcoms and dramedies had been doing it for decades. I think this may just be the first time we saw it in a big name superhero movie. (please Imk if I'm forgetting a prime example) My only real complaint (barring the dated CG) is MJ's character. There's a lot implied about her and Peter's relationship but by the time her big "I love you" speech comes in at the end, I don't know if were had quite enough between the two of them to warrant that Peter's also an eensy but creepy (taking two buses and a cab to meet her outside her audition) but they're supposedly long term childhood friends so maybe not that bad? Again, some telling rather than showing going on there. Brilliant casting, an age old formula, and a hilarious Dafoe performance. Never a dull moment in this film and I enjoyed myself to the point of annoying Lauren. My scale is an enjoyment scale. Don't @ me.… Expand

Uma das características que mais gosto nesse filme é a dualidade de camadas, que geralmente está mais presente em animações. Aqui temos aspectos mais óbvios e aqueles que só uma pessoa mais atenta e madura perceberá. Isso fica ainda mais perceptível no segundo filme, que é livre para todas as idades e ainda sim é pesadíssimo. Fico imaginando quão mais relevante esse filme seria se fosse abordado hoje em dia, de maneira mais seria, como a trilogia do Nolan. A perda do seu Tio por conta de uma atitude vingativa, a relação do Harry com seu pai, o bullying estereotipado que assim foi enxergado por muito tempo, até mesmo a relação com Mary Jane e o poder de escolha da mesma, fora a mídia massacrando o Herói apenas para lucrar mais.

A OST do filme é lendária, só de escutar já emociona. Isso é talvez o melhor exemplo de uma musica de Herói. A fotografia funciona muito bem nas cenas onde o mesmo voa, e as cenas de luta são bem estruturadas. Os momentos de alivio cômico são memoráveis e te fazem gargalhar.

Quanto aos personagens, devemos lembrar que o foco aqui é o publico jovem, dai seria errado pedir demais profundidade, mas mesmo assim há uma presença aqui. Peter é um personagem muito fácil de simpatizar, visto que ele é humanizado a todo momento, tomando decisões que provavelmente tomaríamos, decisões essas que corroboram para problemas que o mesmo terá de enfrentar no futuro. Harry tem um relacionamento conturbado com o pai. Ele tem uma certa admiração, porém sente-se a sombra dele e tem a responsabilidade de seguir os mesmos passos. Já não bastasse isso, sente ciumes da relação dele com seu melhor amigo, que o mesmo deixa claro que admira. Já sobre o pai, temos uma arrogância natural por parte de um estudo cientifico, como também temos um desespero por haver um risco de perder a verba do seu projeto e ver a sua empresa a beira da falência. Atitudes devem ser tomadas, mas é sabido que a ciência não é amante do tempo - Willem Dafoe estava excelente no papel. Rosemary Harris consegue ser suave, mostrar sua fragilidade devido a sua idade, e atua muito bem nos momentos onde o drama é exigido. E por ultimo, e não menos importante, J. K. Simmons é lendário e seu papel já faz parte da historia do cinema como um dos mais cômicos e marcantes.… Expand

Tobey Maguire was made for this role. Gonna be hard for me to shake the image of Spider-Man when I see him on other films from now on.

Sam Raimi sure knows how to make a good superhero film. He was able to give so much depth to Spider-Man, a hero we only know from comic books.

So this movie is still pretty good, all things considered. I still think it has some great cinematography, and great performances from all the actors. It probably hasn't aged well, but we still got some amazing Macho Man Randy Savage moments.

The first hour of Spider-Man is unquestionably better than the second. This is the segment of the film where Peter discovers his newfound powers and tentatively explores them. Covertly, then with more confidence, he stands up to the school bully. He also has to deal with his unrequited love for Mary Jane and cope with the responsibilities and consequences of using (or not using) his abilities. An exhilarating sequence in which Spider-Man first employs his webs to swing from building-to-building is filmed in such a manner that we can sense how close he is to losing control and plunging to the streets below. All in all, this is a good superhero origin movie. (The origins of Spiderman).… Expand

This movie basically shows the emergence of Spiderman: the way Peter Parker, a teenager, changes his life after being bitten by a genetically modified spider. He becomes a hero, able to do justice and protect the weak. But on the other side of the barricade comes the Green Goblin, a villain that only he can stop.

I'm not a fan of comics-based movies, but I must admit that this movie has its quality. It shows a hero who, after all, is still a teenager with doubts and learning. The script seems to me well done, presenting a story reasonably capable of capturing the interest of those who do not even like this genre of movies very much.

The actors seem to me to have made a positive effort. I liked Tobey Maguire, he was quite human in a character who risked being just a red suit that jumps from building to building. Willem Dafoe was a pretty good villain, and even before turning, he knew how to give his character an amoral touch. Kirsten Dunst, an actress I don't even appreciate widely, did a job well done. James Franco didn't surprise me, but there's no room for much more than he did either. J.K. Simmons was a surprise to bring us a profoundly annoying character, but it brings great touches of humor to the movie.

Technically, the movie is not surprising, nor is it even brilliant. You bet heavily on CGI, as you'd expect, but it doesn't bring us anything that truly impresses us. Photography is regular, with many action scenes designed to capture the public but become tiring over time. The soundtrack is good, but not particularly good either.

In short, it is a summer movie, designed to attract large masses of crowds and crowded box offices, with a foreseeable sequel soon ahead. It's good, it's certainly better than other cartoon movies, but it's not extraordinary.… Expand

Just below Spider Man Spider verse there is SM 2002. Closer to idea developed by John Romita, is faithful to original comic with some updatings that don't hamper anything. Willem Defoe is a terrific, scary villian. Fanboys will be pleased.

Comic books have always been popular, in most cases, but not just everywhere and when you didn't have that culture (even if comic books were around), you'd get into characters like these by television shows and movies. I definitely love the adaptation and the corniness definitely makes a 2000's film, but unfortunately, it has not aged that well. Truly, if you are a Spider-Man, you MUST watch this film but overall, it's a film whose acting can be somewhat flawed and almost hilarious to watch when it comes to seeing Tobey's weird face expressions. Not to talk about the special effects and CGI; it's so blatantly poor that it ruins plenty of scenes. When it comes to the story; nothing to say. Definitely a classic that is capable of conveying emotions that can hardly be felt in modern films nowadays.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Com grandes poderes, vêm grandes responsabilidades."

Homem-Aranha é uma história clássica da origem de um dos maiores e mais populares heróis da atualidade. O filme conta com um elenco competente, ótimas cenas de ação e uma trilha sonora absolutamente espetacular. Seu enredo, embora simples e fácil de acompanhar, tem profundidade e desenvolve de ótima forma os conflitos do desenrolar da história. Peter Parker, um jovem inteligente de pouca popularidade, vê sua vida mudar ao receber poderes sobre-humanos e, com eles, torna-se um vigilante de Nova York. Inicialmente inspirado por ambições pessoais, o chamado Homem-Aranha vê sua perspectiva mudar diante da trágica e repentina morte de seu querido tio, morto em um assalto. Assim, o vigilante busca, agora, proteger à cidade até onde pode. Para se contrapor ao herói, surge o Duende Verde, que luta pelos interesses pessoais de seu alter-ego e cria uma rixa com o protagonista ao ser por ele contrariado, questionando se vale mesmo a pena ser um herói e até que ponto chega a admiração da população pelo cabeça de teia. Colocando à prova as virtudes e as crenças de Parker, o Duende ataca aquilo que o protagonista mais ama e funciona como excelente vilão, principalmente por sua filosofia antagônica e também pela ligação pessoal ao personagem principal, sendo pai de seu melhor amigo. No embate entre os dois, o Homem-Aranha desconstrói os argumentos de seu adversário e, num conflito final, o vê morrer num último ataque malsucedido. Apesar de tudo, Parker percebe que não pode revelar aos seus amados sua identidade para mantê-los seguros, rejeitando o amor de sua vida para tal. Ele se entrega às responsabilidades de um super-herói, com todos os seus percalços e perigos. Conclui-se, assim, um excelente filme, vítima apenas de diálogos ocasionalmente artificiais. Tanto em seu lançamento quanto hoje, Homem-Aranha é visto como um grande exemplo de seu gênero e mais tarde permitiu que sua sequência, lançada dois anos depois, se provasse um dos melhores filmes de super-herói de todos os tempos.… Expand
