With great origin comes a great superhero

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2019)

I saw spiderman after watching 2 and 3. First part is my personal favourite because it very well sets the base for the characters. While 2 was the most loved spidey film, 3 was the most hated spidey film and 1 gets sandwiched between them. Director sam raimi doesn't waste much time and within 5 minutes of the film our lead peter parker gets injected by a radiogenetic spider and rest I don't need to tell. Initially, peter uses the powers for his personal gains. But uncle ben's death and his last words to him 'With great power comes great responsibility' inspires peter to use it for the people. Thus he becomes the friendly neighborhood spiderman and locks horns with green goblin aka norman osborn. Tobey maguire was best as peter parker. His innocence really wins our hearts especially the scene where he calls himself the human spider. As spiderman, he may not be witty but he was physically fit in those acrobatic moves. Kirsten dunst was the perfect eye candy and always played a pivotal role in the ending of all 3 films by getting kidnapped. William dafoe was terrific as green goblin and his voice gives us chills. Action scenes and graphics are very good. Only drawback I felt was in the end is when mj proposes to pete and they kiss but peter says her that I can only be your friend. Well if he wanted her only as a friend then why didn't he stop her from kissing? But ignoring those things I would say spiderman is my favourite spidey film and i love raimi trilogy.
