Though not perfect, "Spiderman" is the most satisfying movie from a cartoon that anyone could hope for. The filmmakers are unusually successful at capturing the distinctive tone, style and character details of the long-running Marvel Comics series, even while making a... Full review

This movie, as well as the whole Spider-Man franchise, has to be one of the most over-hyped in recent memory. From the perspective of a casual theater-goer, I can perhaps see how it can be so popular. After all, the action... Full review

If it Weren't for Spider-Man, comic book movies would not be as great as they are. Since Spider-Man there have been awesome comic book movies, such as X2, Daredevil, The Hulk, and LXG. I wasn't all too pleased with the acting... Full review

Hey, what can I say, I like this movie, but compared to the first Superman movie, this is a piece of crap. The first two Superman movies had a nice sense of magic to them. This one on the other hand... Full review

"With great power comes great responsibility".These words, spoken by Peter Parker's uncle Ben(Cliff Robertson)during their last conversation and which have become Spider-Man's motto, also perfectly represent the challenge Sam Raimi was facing when asked to bring one of America's most... Full review

Usually when there is a big summer movie I am looking forward to, I wait and wait and then the movie comes out and it is a big disappointment. I really looked forward to the American Godzilla movie and by... Full review

His "Spider-Man" movie is what the comic book has deserved for 40 years. "Spider-Man" is probably the best superhero movie ever made. What's surprising is how well the two conflicting attitudes blend into one fantastical, believable story. ... Full Review

Yeah, both those things happen, but at least Spider-Man 2 gets inside this poor kid's head and has some humour along the way. Spider-Man 2 explores some of the central dilemmas of the superhero, including the problems of the double-life and how his responsibility toward protecting strangers is always at odds with being with the ones he loves. ...

Box Office Prophets
With over $400 million already in the bag and on its way to over $800 million worldwide, Spider-Man is one of the biggest movies in history and at this point, it is impossible to know how its sequel will fare. Also returning to the franchise will be the first film's director and, along with Maguire, the person most being held responsible for the tremendous success of Spider-Man, Sam Raimi. ... Full Review
