Spider-Man (2002)

other movies sharing the same reality: Spider-Man 2 (2004) / Spider-Man 3 (2007)

The first big screen Spider-Man movie saw director and fan Sam Raimi making an excellent, extremely faithful adaption of the hero's origin. Tobey Maguire played the lead, with Kirsten Dunst portraying Mary Jane Watson and Willem Dafoe giving us an armoured variation on old Spidey villain, the Green Goblin. An excellent sequel followed with Spider-Man facing off against his nemesis Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina), with a somewhat less successful third installment involving Sandman and Venom a few years later.
