Critics Consensus

Not only does Spider-Man provide a good dose of web-swinging fun, it also has a heart, thanks to the combined charms of director Sam Raimi and star Tobey Maguire.

New Statesman

To me the only marvel about this Marvel Comics cinema hero is that Americans should be going to see him in such large numbers.

Alexander Walker

London Evening Standard

It's the unexpectedness of finding a genuine couple of young lovers caught in its web that turns spectacle into sympathy and restores life-size emotion to outside imagination.

Spider-Man is an almost-perfect extension of the experience of reading comic-book adventures.

For the Win (USA Today)

From Willem Dafoe’s menacing Green Goblin to the absolutely iconic Spider-Man/Mary Jane upside-down kiss, this film really did set the standard for what Marvel films should be.

Everything feels more real and urgent, it actually feels more human than some live-action films we get to see.

The OG. Its all here. Better than the ones that came after. CGI still a bit cheesy, maybe even more but you go with it. The acting bit over dramatic but again you go with it. Overall an enjoyable movie. Nice hero/villain dilemma

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
