First off, before I begin my review, let me tell you something. I was a huge fan of the "Spider-Man" cartoon TV series. I enjoyed it a lot as a kid and I still enjoy reading the Spider-Man comics and watch some of the cartoons, and I was really impressed with that. Now, they came up with a really good movie to "Spider-Man." "Spider-Man" tells the story of a high school guy Peter Parker. Orphaned at an early age, Peter Parker lives with his aunt and uncle. One day, he goes on a field trip to a science laboratory. He takes pictures of his girlfriend Mary Jane and he gets bitten by a spider. When he wakes up the next morning after being sick, he has these powers to shoot webs and has the power to become a spider. Moments later, he wants to get a car to impress Mary Jane. So he goes off to a boxing match. The guy doesn't give him his $3,000 that he wants for the car and gives him $100. Then a burglar comes up and tries to rob the guy, and Peter Parker letted him free to pay that guy back for what he did. Moments later, the same burglar kills Peter's beloved Uncle Ben. It really destroyed Peter's life, but Peter remembered what Uncle Ben had said "with great power comes great responsibility." Using the moment about Uncle Ben said, Peter Parker becomes Spider-Man. Now, a ruthless enemy tries to attack New York City who happens to be the Green Goblin. The Green Goblin is Spider-Man's arch nemesis who happens to be Norman Osborne, Peter's friend Harry's father. Spider-Man tries to save the world by killing the Green Goblin. "Spider-Man" tells a decent story. It has lots of action and lots of moments. I really thought "Spider-Man" was a wonderous adventure that will never end. I even like the superhero Spider-Man himself. However, this movie starts off with Peter's normal life before he becomes Spider-Man. That's the big thing here, but overall, it doesn't make it too much of a big bad problem. The DVD contains a lot of special features such as an HBO making of the film. The HBO making of "Spider-Man" was seen on TV in 2002 when "Spider-Man" came out, but I actually never watched an HBO making of any movie in my life. Another really entertaining feature that would be seen on TV (which would probably be seen on the E! Channel) is Spider-Mania: An E! Entertainment Special. You can take a lot of real laughs at the Gag/Outtake Reel. I mean, everyone, when making a movie, makes silly mistakes and errors in acting and directing and it turns out to be funny. I see a lot of outtakes of characters in "A Bug's Life," "Toy Story 2," and "Monsters, Inc." and I saw some animation gags in "Shrek" which were hilarious -- but those are animation. I have previously seen gags and bloopers in a lot of movies on DVD like "Bruce Almighty" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl." What's really cool to the add-on of the special edition is the extra disc of bonus features. It came as a DVD. As you should know, that this DVD contains a lot of information like the making and a sneak peek to "Spider-Man 2" which came out in 2004. Believe me, I did enjoy "Spider-Man 2" even more. Overall, this DVD is amazing and so is the movie. I really enjoyed the whole entire film from start to finish. There's a lot of excitement that you can check out at. Tobey Maguire and all the actors have done a tremendous job and it welcomes Spider-Man back onto the silver screen.Read full review
