fantastic movie, very good good to watch several times and still very good
Good movie, although a bit too Holywood'ish to me.. I hope the up coming one , "The Amazing Spider-Man" will be much better!
I grew up watching this movie, it is very nostalgic. I was afraid that I might not enjoy this one so much now, but it still remains a great film. Glad it did!
I really like Tobey, he might not bring to table the most talkative Spidey, but he certainly portrait his essence and Peter’s as well so good. Many people aren’t much into Kirsten Dunst in these movies, I’m not biggest fan too either, but she's decent. Willem Dafoe does a tremendous job, he is scary and put some psychopath facial expressions — and I like his Power Rangers’ villain outfit no matter what everyone says although his helmet doesn’t allow facial expressions. Cliff Robertson does not have a huge time on screen, he brings a great presence though, so wise and nice. “With great power comes great responsibility” are such powerful words.
Uncle Ben’s death is very sad, I could not contain my tears. You can really tell that with this moment and Uncle Ben’s words are what defines and creates Spider-Man and serves as a guideline through his whole career. This movie presents this defining moment in Peter's life in a perfect way.
I liked the action scenes. The CGI is a little bit dated, but is super acceptable. The crew did a great job with Spider-Man suit (amazing) and his stunts and acrobatic moves. Watching him web-swinging through New York is awesome.
The film has a great pacing. Danny Elfman is responsible for the soundtrack, which is simply amazing!
Also, J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson is absolutely gold.
The Green Goblin doesn't make any sense after the halfway point in this movie. He got everything he wanted when he killed his board members. Spider-man didn't even stop him from doing that, so why does he keep harassing spider-man afterward? It doesn't make any sense. He seems to suggest that if Spider-man doesn't join him, that he'll get in his way, but get in his way from doing what? He's already accomplished his goal.
I'm sure the explanation is "the serum made him insane" but that's weak writing. He just feels like a cartoon villain. I love Dafoe in the role, but on this recent rewatch I realized just how little his character makes sense.
Any doubt this is one of the movies that had more impact on me on my childhood. Seeing this as a child and imagine maybe one day you could be as Spiderman is magical. Best superhero ever.
why does Willem Dafoe need to wear that giant green goblin mask when it's identical to his normal facial expression
1st part of my favorite trilogy of all time. Still a fantastic movie.
Favorite Line: “But the one thing they love more than a hero, is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually, they will hate you.” - Norman Osborn
Spider-Man Spider-Man Spider-Man no way home
This and the second one were a huge part of my childhood so I'm glad rewatching this it held up well. The CGI didn't look the best at times but the movie is so much fun. Willem Dafoe is just having a blast. J.K. Simmons is a perfect JJJ. There were some weird montages that were edited funny but that's not too distracting.
