Spiderman Review 20th Anniversary

 

Spiderman Review 

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of this film, I thought I might give this film a review. Here's what I think of the movie. I love this film. It's part of my childhood. This film was a game changer in cinema. Without it, we wouldn't have the MCU, and since Tobey Maguire came back to play Spiderman in No Way Home, this film is actually the first MCU film.  

These people made our childhood.

The film was directed by Sam Raimi, and he did a great job making this film. He would later make Dr. Strange 2. The film's cast did a great job: Tobey Maguire, Kristen Dunst, James Franco, Willem Dafoe, Rosemary Harris, Elizabeth Banks, JK Simmons (Who is the best casting of this film,) the late Bill Nunn, and Cliff Robertson. Everyone in the movie was just amazing in their roles.

The story is about Peter Parker, a geek at high school who gets bitten by a radioactive spider and acquires spider powers. His uncle Ben tells him with Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility. Such an inspiring quote. Peter tries to use his powers to make money and stupidly lets a criminal get away, and his uncle gets shot. Driven by guilt and learning the man who killed him was the same burglar, Peter decides to use his powers to protect the people of New York as Spiderman. 

The film is also about Peter's love life, his struggles, and he's got to fight the Green Goblin. Who is Norman Osborn, the father of his best friend, Harry Osborn. 

Green Goblin was a great villain, and I know many fans today hated the mask. I get that, and hey, No Way Home, they got rid of the mask and made it Dafoe's face, and it worked better. I love the fight scenes between Spiderman and Green Goblin. The bridge scene was fantastic, too, especially when the people of New York help Spiderman out during his fight with Green Goblin. "You mess with one of us, you. You mess with all of us." I actually like that quote despite how cheesy it sounds.

Not to mention, the final fight scene in the film is good and very intense as well. I liked the Green Goblin's death. It was exactly like the comics when he died.

The romance between Peter and MJ is good, and that famous kiss won the best kiss at the MTV Movie Awards. It is an iconic kiss scene. Mary Jane's role in the film is good, like she was the most popular girl in school, but when she graduated, we see her struggling to make it as an actress. This is relatable to a lot of people who graduated from high school because getting a career you want is hard no matter what. 

What's even more interesting at the end of the film is that when Mary Jane confesses she loves Peter, he turns her down even though he loves her so much. He can't risk getting hurt again after the Green Goblin. If you want to know what happens, just watch Spiderman 2.

The film's visuals are good too at the time they were by today they are not so good. The film did a great job with the web-swinging scenes, but the balloons at the Oscorp Festival were crap. I liked the fight scenes in the film. The emotional scenes in the film were well written, and the scene with Peter and Aunt May talking about Ben was emotional because it's not easy losing a member of your family. We've all gone through that.  

The ending of the film is sad but at the same time uplifting because the film is about taking responsibility and learning from our wrongs, and becoming better people.

FUN FACT TIME.

Fun Fact, Wolverine was supposed to cameo in Spiderman, but they couldn't do it because of timing and film rights.

That would have been so cool. Imagine a Spiderman and Wolverine team-up film with 

Tobey Maguire and Hugh Jackman. That would have been cool. 

Another fun fact is that Spiderman and Wolverine were the most popular superheroes in the 2000s. When Marvel was relaunching the Avengers title, they added Spiderman and Wolverine because of how popular they were at the box office and with fans. 

So that's my review of one of my favorite Superhero films that made my childhood awesome. This film was a game changer, and I've been a big fan of Spiderman for years because he's a character we can all relate to. I give Spiderman 9 out of 10 and a solid A. Also, if you think about it now, Spiderman is the first MCU film.
