Review of Spider-Man (2002) by Stcenterprise . — 18 May 2016

Spider-Man 20012 film review. This film does contain spoilers.

I loved the musical score in this film by Danny Elfman. It helped me get emotionally invested in the emotional parts to this film as well as the action. It was a great drive to the film.

I was and am not a fan of Green Goblins costume look. His hoover board looked cool though. I also felt like Dr. Osborn's character was rushed in the film to his origins of becoming the Green Goblin. I would have liked to have seen more of Dr. Osborn before he became the Green Goblin in order to invest in him turning into a villain. His origins became so quick.

I loved the slick look to the Spider-Man costume. I enjoy the fact that Peter Parker was bit by a genetically enhanced spider to gain his powers biologically to Spider-Man. Rather than have his powers built technologically.

I liked the High School scenes but I wanted to see more in High School besides, A field trip, trips on the bus, and lunch time. All things which tells us nothing as far as how come everyone from school but Harry and Mary Jane are the only ones not picking on Peter Parker.

I liked the CGI Action in this film but I think one thing I feel like this film falters is when the cuts of the live action come because the pase of those scenes is so much slower compared to the pase of the CGI action scenes that it looses me to quickly identify the difference.

I enjoyed the portrayal by J.K. Simons; as Head of the Daily Bugle, John Jonah Jameson. It was spot on, mean, selfish, hilarious, but yet likable as a character in how he would get things wrong. He always wants to be the center of attention and the one to be the big man getting credit for things.

I love the lines by John Jonah Jameson such as "Slander is spoken. In pint it is liable." I mean his priorities are all wrong.

I think that Sam Raimi in this film hits the mark getting you invested in these characters from Harry Osborn, Marry Jane Watson, Peter Parker, Aunt May, Uncle Ben.

I loved the origins sequence to Spider-Man's costume in this film looking to buy a car but leads up to the creation to the costume. I also enjoyed the sequence after that shows what the Daily Bugal has printed about Spider-Man and shows all that he is doing in the city and gets a bunch of people's perspective of what everyone thinks of Spider-Man at the end of the sequence we see a reflection of the Twin Towers in Spidy's eyes.

I enjoyed the first time Spider-Man takes photos of himself in the alley in the middle of a crime.

I loved the first time Peter tries to figure out how to get his Spider-Web powers to work again to be able to swing and he goes, Up up and away Wip Shazme, go go hip go. It just was unexpected and hilarious doing all these other super hero clushays Clichà (C)s and catch phrases to get his powers to work. The once he does figure it out he say tallyho and makes an epic fail hitting a billboard sign and sliding down.

I love these comical and yet real life sort of situations look believable.

I liked the catch phrase and speech by Uncle Ben "With Great Power comes Great Responsibility." It has so much more meaning and importance.

I think that the world of New York that Sam Raimi created in this film hits the mark right showing the cruelty, corruption, dirty, down to Earth New York. I also enjoyed that this film went to real locations in New York but changed them ever so slightly for the film such as the Daily Bugle.

I think that the Green Goblin was a good villain because he was so dangerous and he was able to hit Peter Parker from the heart of his friends, his family and allies. But because of the Daily Bugal's bad media attention to Spider-Man and they discover he is the good guy and we see the city rally to help Spider-Man rather than hurt him. It gets the audience emotionally invested to show even the common person can make a difference against bad people.

I think that overall this film had great casting decisions make, Sam Rami was a great choice for director. the story was well told.

This film came out perfect timing considering that this came out in the summer of 2002 right after September 11, 2001; when people in the nation needed to hear a more positive look and hero with terrorist attacks occurring in New York.

I think that the final two fights between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin strying to resque Mary Jane vs. the people on the bridge in this film are shot amazingly. I also enjoyed the the final show down between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin. There was so much suspense. The way it was done you honestly thought that any time Green Goblin was going to defeat Spider Man with his grenades, weapons and punches and everything else Green Goblin used against Spider-Man. I mean you could tell based upon the blood and everything you were just surprised that Peter was not killed by the grenade.

I enjoyed the end credit sequence with Spider-Man swinging through the city of New York.
