Not really an acclaimed movie, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man will always have a
special place in my heart.
Spider-Man is a 2002 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Directed by Sam Raimi from a screenplay by David Koepp, it is the first installment in the Spider-Man trilogy, and stars Tobey Maguire as the title character, alongside Willem Dafoe, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Cliff Robertson, and Rosemary Harris. The film centers on outcast teen genius Peter Parker, who develops spider-like superhuman abilities after being bitten by a genetically-altered spider. Spider-Man premiered at the Mann Village Theater on April 29, 2002, and was released in the United States four days later on May 3. The film received positive reviews from audiences and critics, who praised Raimi's direction and tone, the faithfulness and fidelity to the Spider-Man mythos, the action sequences, visual effects, Danny Elfman's musical score, and the performances of the cast (particularly that of Maguire, Dafoe, and J. K. Simmons). The film became a financial success: it was the first film to reach $100 million in a single weekend, and became the most successful film based on a comic book at the time. With a box office gross of over $821.7 million worldwide, it was the third highest-grossing film of 2002, the highest-grossing superhero film and the sixth highest-grossing film overall at the time of its release. The movie is great for comics fans and it can provide an escape from everyday life. Nerd by day hero by night. Personally I will always consider this film as a masterpiece along with the other two movies from the trilogy even if the critics and the fans think differently. This film was an important part of my childhood and I will always make time to see it again and again. The movie might not be the best cinematographic production being recognized as a “basic movie” , but it brings a smile on the faces of comics fans and also impresionantes the casual viewers with the top notch effects used at that time.
