Decidido a sacar partido de esto, comienza a luchar en combates de lucha libre disfrazado para que nadie le reconozca. Pero una noche, tras un combate, ve como un ladrón escapa después de robar en unos almacenes. Convencido de que no es su problema, regresa a casa para descubrir que el deliencuente que antes ha dejado escapar acaba de asesinar a su tío... (Sony Pictures Esp.)

Tim Burton (Batman) o Bryan Singer (X-Men) lo tenían más fácil. Sus cómics eran interesantes por el diseño de producción, el ambiente y la capacidad de meternos en «otros mundos». El Spider-Man de Raimi no tiene nada de eso. Cuando terminó, no pude recordar ni una sola escena que me sacara del asombro del público. Tobey Maguire encarnó excelentemente la transformación del personaje, pero Kirsten Dunst es demasiado corriente para este tipo de películas. Y el personaje del Duende Verde no es un malo que asuste, sino un desgraciado con un problema de identidad mayor que el que tiene con el propio Spiderman. Ningún concepto visual distintivo y tampoco personajes bien desarrollados. Y una historia predecible, digna de un episodio de 40 minutos de una serie de televisión, estirada en dos horas. Spider-Man está rodada de manera elegante y no presenta tonterías palomiteras. Pero no es más que una burbuja inflada que, cuando estalle, se disipará como una nube y no quedará nada.

This comic book adaptation didn't turn out badly, but it lacks atmosphere and more developed characters. Its major advantage is the casting of Tobey Maguire, who comes across as very natural, elegant, and likable. He is simply an outstanding actor. Overall impression: 60%.

Sam Raimi shows that what makes a film good is not an orgy of visual effects, but an interesting story. Tobey Maguire is perfect, he’s incredible, there is currently no one more suited to the role of Peter Parker and who could play it so well. I applaud Sam Raimi for sticking it to the film company. Kirsten Dunst is also alright, she’s no fragile beauty, but there is something to her, and she can act. My favourite Willem Dafoe was a bit of a disappointment, though, he plays naturally, but when Mr. Hyde awakens in him, his grins are rather laughable. But that's a small blemish on an otherwise excellent film.

Actually, the same thing applies that I wrote about the second film. The first film is a comic book remake with a relatively unique spirit, good actors and a well-written characters. If I take away the sometimes somewhat affected dialogues and given predictability, the first Spider-Man is an excellent fun that makes sense where one expects it to. It has good tricks, decent tension, and a solid (though not captivating) Danny Elfman soundtrack. The second film is dominated by the presence and charisma of William Dafoe in civilian life, but he loses it as soon as he puts on the green mask, which simply removes his civilian demonic aspects. Even the effects are somewhat outdated and the subsequent film is certainly more impressive in terms of visuals. The first Spider-Man is also a bit "non-binding", more pubescent, more playful, and the real dilemma of the super-hero happens in the second part. However, this cannot be considered a negative. I give it an honest 4 stars for being watchable fun.

I remember how, after the first viewing, I remained in my seat, disappointed. I was expecting a ride full of intricate relationships, grand action scenes, and deep emotions. And what I saw was a simple fairy tale about good and evil, and at the same time, the drama of an individual rejected by society. The second time, I was once again left in my seat – but this time, for the opposite reason. What I was yearning for and missing the first time around was suddenly there. Just more intimate, pleasant, and appropriate. Sam Raimi's approach may have ignored the details of the comic books, but it works more than well. That said, the two installments that followed take things a bit further.
