Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe first film to gross $100 million in its opening weekend alone. At the time, no movie had done so, even when adjusted for inflation.

- Quotes
[last lines]
Peter Parker: [voiceover] Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-man.
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the closing credits the theme song from Spider-Man (1967) is played.
- Alternate versionsIn the version that showed on Cartoon Network, there were many cuts for time, violence, and swearing. All uses of ass, hell, and damn were scrubbed from the movie (i.e. Goblin says "we're gonna have [an interesting] time" as opposed to a "hell of a time"). References to religion were also trimmed. There is also an alternate angle of Norman getting impaled that is less violent.

Featured review
The movie with the famous quote - which great power comes great responsibility!
Toby Maguire's spider-man is the best spider-man. That's a fact in my opinion but the other ones are good too,but you always have to stick to the original. That's why spider-man is one of the most popular Marvel comics.
It has a story-line where the audience it's seeking, can relate to as a teenager. And the part when he gets bitten by a genetically enhanced spider,which is the part we just cannot relate to, but wish it would happen to us.
It's an original which cannot be replaced even by spider-man 2 and spider-man 3.
I cannot stop recommending this movie so much because you don't really have to watch the other Marvel movies to truly understand it.
