10/10. My favorite superhero movie. I think it's one of the best all time up there with Superman (1978) and Batman (!989). "You'll believe a man can swing from a web." should've been their tagline, homage to Superman the movie. I found everyone to be great is movie particularly Tobey Maguire's chemistry with Willem Dafoe. You can believe these two as Spiderman and The Green Goblin. I loved every minute, my words can't describe how perfect I felt it was. See it for yourself, you'll love it. Spiderman truly kicked off the modern superhero movie craze not X-Men or Blade. Tobey Maguire shall always be the definitive Spider Man.
Continuity mistake: When Peter shoots his web at his bedroom lamp and pulls it across the room, it smashes against the wall and breaks. But when Aunt May is talking to Peter from the door seconds later, the lamp is back on the dresser in one piece. (00:32:15)
J. Jonah Jameson: He doesn't want to be famous? Then I'll make him INfamous!
Trivia: "Bone-Saw" McGraw is played by real-life wrestler "Macho Man" Randy Savage. He started his wrestling career as a masked wrestler named "The Spider". (00:35:20)
Question: When Aunt May says to Peter in the hospital, "Everyone else knows", why does Peter suddenly look scared/concerned?

Answer: Remember that Green Goblin (Norman Osborne) just found out that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Aunt May's comment about everyone knows he loves Mary-Jane concerns him because he now realizes that Green Goblin might find/kidnap Mary-Jane just to lure Spider-Man into a fight. This is the basis for the whole reason he can't be with her, as he would be potentially putting her in harm's way all the time if they got together.
