Top reviews from the United States CheyReviewed in the United States on October 5, 2022 5.0 out of 5 stars Verified purchase If I’m having a rough day, I can always rely on Spider-Man to help me out. No matter the universe we travel to with spidey, he effortlessly swings into action and grasps the attention of my son quicker then Harry wanting revenge. 🙌🏻 After traveling the full multiverse with my son, we are most definitely ready for a tear in the space time continuum. Thank you Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and of course the OG himself, Tobey Maguire. 👏🏻 Will-Review4UReviewed in the United States on December 17, 2021 4.0 out of 5 stars This was a fun to watch with kids for NWHVerified purchase "Spider-Man" is a superhero film adaptation of one of Stan Lee's most popular Marvel comics, and it is widely regarded as one of the most successful superhero films ever made. It was also one of the first films to have the highest opening weekend box office. It's no surprise, given that this is a thrilling and entertaining film. To be precise, one of my childhood favorites! This film portrays the origin tale of Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, played by Tobey Maguire, who has superhuman powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider, allowing him to climb walls, shoot web, and defeat evil villains. But all of that will be put to the test as Parker faces off against Willem Dafoe's portrayal of the Green Goblin, one of the first villains in the Spider-Man world. Despite the fact that Maguire is a bit bland in a number of his films, I respected that he was a wonderful fit for the role of Peter Parker, portraying a bashful youngster with no powers to defeat the bad guy or win the girl. Despite having some of the corniest lines of dialogue in the film, Kirsten Dunst's portrayal as Mary Jane Watson is endearing, and she has wonderful chemistry with her co-star. However, Willem Dafoe as the dangerous Green Goblin appears to be miscast, as he seems more suited to drama than action. Rosemary Harris, James Franco, Cliff Robertson, and J.K. Simmons round out the supporting cast, delivering some memorable performances, particularly Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson, the enraged editor chief of the Daily Bugle, who steals every scene he's in. There are a few corny and ridiculous moments here and there, but it doesn't detract from the film's tremendous drive. Director Sam Raimi flawlessly keeps loyal to the original Spider-Man concept, delivering plenty of exciting action sequences that are both fun to watch and stay true to the plot, with outstanding visual effects and a fantastic music score by Danny Elfman. "Spider-Man" is arguably my third favorite superhero film, after "The Dark Knight" and "The Avengers." I could watch this movie again and over and still have a good time. I was pleasantly surprised by this film, which never fails to entertain. Everyone will undoubtedly find something to appreciate. "Spider-Man" has "a fascinating tale and spectacular action," according to my evaluation. 5 people found this helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars Llego muy bien y rápidoVerified purchase El producto llego muy bien, unos días antes de la fecha estimada, recomendado. RDDReviewed in the United States on October 10, 2021 5.0 out of 5 stars Verified purchase Sam Raimi’s 2002 film, “Spider-Man,” adapts the Stan Lee/Steve Ditko character for the big screen. The film stars Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson, James Franco as Harry Osborn, Cliff Robertson as Ben Parker, Rosemary Harris as May Parker, J.K. Simmons as J. Jonash Jameson, Bill Nunn as Robbie Bobertson, and Elizabeth Banks as Betty Brant. Raimi retells Spider-Man’s origin, with Peter Parker starting out as an outcast nerdy kid living in a working class neighborhood of Queens with his aunt and uncle. On a field trip, a genetically-modified (rather than radioactive) spider bites him, granting him powers including strength, speed, agility, a danger-sense, and the ability to shoot webs out of his wrists. He initially tries to use this power to make money, but lets a thief escape when the man running an underground wrestling match cheats Peter out of his winnings. The thief kills Peter’s Uncle Ben and so Peter learns the meaning of his uncle’s wisdom: “with great power there must also come great responsibility.” Meanwhile, Norman Osborn, fearful of losing military contracts, tests an experimental enhancement formula on himself, which drives him mad and turns him into the Green Goblin as he seeks revenge against those he perceives as having wronged him. Spider-Man and the Goblin clash, with their personal connection lending emotional weight to the physical fight. While “Blade” (1998) and “X-Men: The Movie” (2000) helped launch the modern superhero movie, Raimi’s bright and colorful “Spider-Man” proved that comic book movies could be faithful to a comic book aesthetic and tone while still being powerful films. He went on to direct both sequels to this film, which also launched an animated series spin-off that aired on MTV. I purchased this DVD because I had worn out my old DVD of the film and it was time to revisit this series. 6 people found this helpful D. RobertsReviewed in the United States on January 26, 2003 5.0 out of 5 stars We are who we choose to be.Verified purchase This is, in my mind, the single greatest Superhero movie ever made. The only one that comes close is the original Christopher Reeve SUPERMAN of the late 1970s. The film is action-packed, and yet it has a heart. The special effects are awesome eye-candy, but are far from the sole reason to buy this DVD.
