This is exactly what I want to see in a comic book movie. This masterpiece was needed because we had to see a reboot of this superhero, and Raimi managed to do a perfect picture to make the saga begin. The characters and the villain are fantastic, the pace is flawless, the double life of Peter Parker is perfectly combined during the advancement of the movie and the change of Peter Parker and the rise of spiderman were perfect. The special effects are very good also. But do we want to talk about the swinging of spiderman? IT WAS GREAT, probably the best one I ever saw in a spiderman movie. It was super smooth. The actors and director made a phenomenal job, just as the whole crew that worked on this piece of art. The finale doesn't let you dissatisfied, thinking that there is something missing, because it's self-contained. In fact, this movie didn't even need a sequel, this was enough for the story, and it was perfect just like that. (I liked that they wanted to make sequels, so we could see more villains fighting against spiderman). This movie can be defined in only two words: Absolute Masterpiece. Thx for reading. Expand

It's the only film I've ever seen that I can watch over and over again and never get sick of. I was seven years old when it first came out and I was thrilled by it, but unlike many other movies I liked as a little kid it still holds up really well. Willem Dafoe was the perfect choice for the Green Goblin, and I have no complaints about the rest of the cast either, though I have heard some about Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst being chosen for their respective roles. Aside from that, the action scenes are exhilarating and the drama was compelling enough to make this movie really memorable for me. The only reason I don't give it a perfect 10 is because I get a bit nostalgic when I watch it, and I'm afraid that makes me the tiniest bit biased. Expand

He discovers he now possesses the ability to shoot webs, to scale walls and a 6th sense when it comes to danger. That being said there are obvious growing pains and Spider-Man handles them with beauty and heart with characters you really care about starting with Parker, who is played to perfection by Tobey Maguire. The rest of the cast also shines with Kirsten Dunst and Rosemary Harris standing out as the women in Peters life. The direction is everything you expect from a popcorn flick but is also incredibly unique with Spidermans movements through the air looking majestic while completely realistic (considering the story). In fact there are very few flaws to Spiderman with it showing that everyone has put their all into the film. If I was forced to pick a problem it would be the slightly disappointing end fight between Spiderman and the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe) but even that is clutching at straws. Overall as origin stories go this ones got real class. Expand

It has uneven special effects in comparison to what you have these days (it did come out 10 years ago), but Spider-Man encapsulates the best of the super hero genre: heart felt, action packed, pulse pounding. You'll laugh as Peter Parker discovered his powers for the first time. You'll cringe when he was beaten to a pulp by the goblin in its finale. It paved the way for the new Batman trilogy by Chris Nolan and other Marvel Studios films. A classic. Expand

We get an origin tale with a light-hearted tone to show how Peter Parker, played by Tobey Maguire, gets bitten to the an infected spider and starts to develop superhuman abilities such as web swinging and strength, something he keeps secretive from everybody else, his aunt, his best friend Harry James Franco) and the "girl next door" Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst).
But with every hero comes a villain, and the perfect storm is brewing I'm the form of Norman Osborn (Willem Dafoe), father to Harry and an almost father to Peter, a man obsessed with bettering the human condition, something he does to himself by administering a powerful drug which unleashes another side to the man, and not a very good side.
The concept of Spider-Man was always interesting as the likes of Norman Osborn being a primary villain played very close to the heart, he knows the people he is hurting, making the the pacing of the film much more personal and relevant. Each character has a connection and relationship with the next person and it feels much more fluid for this.
The film itself is a visual marvel, with the scenes of Spidey swinging through the city quite a delight to watch, and this is blended in with a humorous opening that takes a much more mellow and less serious approach which is a welcome change, they have colourful characters including the undeniable brilliance of J.K. Simmons playing J. Jonah Jameson, his wit, loudness and larger than life personality are standout moments of the film, Tobey Maguire also delivers a convincing performance as our masked spider, he is like a little child at Christmas bouncing around the screen, giving a different feel to the average superhuman.
But with the light tone there does come a sense of it being very cartoon-like, with a musical score that reflects this, but there is plenty to be said about the the emotional punch the film has to pack, with very quotable and heart-wrenching dialogue throughout.
It's a real kickstarter to a very successful story, and perhaps one of the benchmarks to the overwhelming craze of superhero films today.

There would be no Marvel Universe without this trilogy of films and the X-Men series. This film gets the origin story right, it does not drag it out and the film becomes fairly action packed after we find out the story behind Spiderman. Tobey Maguire is great as Spiderman and Peter Parker and I think he has gotten a lot of undeserved hate since the series was rebooted. As soon as you watch this film you member how good he was and it is difficult to say that Andrew Garfield is more suited to play Spidey. Willem Dafoe also plays an excellent Green Goblin, I thought his performance was great although like in most origin movies the Green Goblin doesn't always pose a threat. Spiderman paved the way for an excellent sequel that is probably better than the original film. Expand

It's a blast watching Peter Parker discover his powers and decide how to use them. The villain in the Green Goblin might be a little "one note" and crazy for the sake of being crazy, but it doesn't detract from the film too much. But seriously, the ability to shoot webs and swing through the skyscrapers of New York City is one of the most original and ingenious super powers and it's just so much fun to watch it come to life.

The friendly neighborhood web-slinger and widely popular Marvel comics character gets his big screen debut headed by Sam Raimi ('Evil Dead') in 'Spider-Man', a story about a young, loser boy who becomes more than what he's supposed to be.The friendly neighborhood web-slinger and widely popular Marvel comics character gets his big screen debut headed by Sam Raimi ('Evil Dead') in 'Spider-Man', a story about a young, loser boy who becomes more than what he's supposed to be.

The movie begins where we see a young kid named Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) who often gets ridiculed in school due to his nerdy-like personality, and the fact that he never really amounts to anything. We discover that Peter has his eyes set on a girl he likes named Mary-Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) who is currently dating his high school nemesis Flash Thompson (Joe Manganiello).

Peter's best and only friend is Harry Osborn (James Franco), who is the son of a wealthy businessman Norman Osborn (Willem Dafoe) who attempts to experiment on a strength enhancer that ultimately goes wrong making him become the villain we all know as "The Green Goblin".

Peter lives peacefully at home with his Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) and Uncle Ben (Cliff Robertson), after he gets bitten by a radio-active spider, he begins to act strangely. The next day, he wakes up feeling riveted and almost strange, his hands seem to stick to any surface, he is quick to react, he can sense danger, and he can shoot webs that emerge from his wrist. There are moments where we see him testing these powers out as he attempts to jump from building to building at such a height. The scenes where he discovers more about these powers are fascinating to watch, as any young boy who would find out about having such powers would react the same way as Maguire does in his performance.

For anyone who is a huge fan of the character Spider-Man...this film will not disappoint, it contains everything you would want to see from a Spider-Man solo movie. Director Sam Raimi clearly knows the source material really well, and tried his best to stick to it as accurately as possible, Tobey Maguire is inspired as the nerdy, witty and sometimes emotionally distraught young kid who tries to adapt to his powers. The movie is surprisingly emotional, making Spider-Man more human and sympathetic is a constant reminder that there's more to this character than some red suit with a mask.

The movie is also surprisingly violent...Spider-Man is a character that appeals to a much younger audience, this film could frighten very young kids with its scary images and overly violent action scenes.

Some of the CGI in this movie does look a little animated, particularly in a scene that takes place in a Balcony that explodes. But, other than that, this is a solid superhero origin movie with a lot to love.

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.

This film manages to give us our favorite web slinger one of the best films ever. Its rare that a film can capture such a spectacle. Spider-Man (2002) is no exception. Its great cast, awesome set-pieces and well written plot benefits it to become one of the best Spider-Man films. As much as I liked Marvels Homecoming it doesn't manage to capture the beauty of this film in many ways. Tobey Maguire is the best on-screen Spider-Man. He manages to capture peter parker in the most perfect way and no one will be able surpass his peter parker. The High School moments and peter parker are what shine in this film. JK simmons is the best choice for J Jonah Jameson. The soundtrack is memorable, beautiful and nostalgic. One of the greatest soundtracks ever composed for a superhero film.

Verdict:

Spider-Man is a beautiful film that manages to exceed expectations and have a legacy of being probably one of the best superhero origin film.

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.

A amazing version of Spider-Man. The actors were very good, but have a little to improve. The story was exciting and kept me on the edge of my seat. The special effects were also great. It is for sure worth a watch.

The beginning of Sam Raimi's amazing trilogy and a pioneer in the modern superhero movie. While some of the movie may come off as dated now, the movie still holds up and is a near masterpiece.

Love how both spider-man and green goblin have their origin stories at the same time. It visually doesn't look great but that's forgivable because it's an old movie. The interpretation of both green goblin and spider-man/peter parker is spectacular

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

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.

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.

Unfortunately I hit the back button on my phone so now all that is gone. That being the case let's get down to brass tacks folks... the Tobey Maguire Spiderman movies continue to take a big fat steaming **** all over the newer Tom Holland films. Nothing against that dude but the newer films, no matter how flashy, can't hold a candle to the heart and soul that the Sam Raimi Spiderman films have. This film is from a bygone era. Emotionally deep, weighty, and rich. Cinematically beautiful and well executed. Musically gripping. The giant pools of intense sorrow and love and hate that are the eyes of Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. The cheesy lines... ALL the cheesy lines. This movie is IT folks, it really is it. Action, consequence, responsibility, death. It's all here. The second one is great too, probably better. The third is kinda meh, but still better than the new Avengers-Spiderman-Ironman movies.
