4/10

Some flirting.

Mary Jane shows wears a deep plunging neckline in the beginning showing cleavage.

Most notably, in one scene, she's caught in the rain and her wet top reveals that she's not wearing a bra (the shape of her nipples can be seen for about 8 seconds). In that same scene, she is attacked by several thugs, and it is implied they are attempting to rape her, but nothing disturbing is shown, and she is saved by Spiderman. She then thanks him with a passionate, long kiss. Quite sensual.

In another scene, Mary Jane wears a red Asian dress with a slit up to her thigh that gets hiked up further when she gets attacked.

Four women are in a fighting ring scene wearing leather bra tops and very short leather shorts. Seen several times in the scene.

One man mentions that a photographer got a picture of Julia Roberts in a thong.

6/10

A man is stabbed/impaled by a glider's blade. Briefly, his blood spurts out of his wound. Then, blood is seen in his mouth.

A man is cut with a throwing object which causes him to bleed.

A man's wrist is snapped and he then falls backwards out of a window to his death.

A man kills some people by throwing a pumpkin bomb at them which turns them into skeletons.

A lot of fighting is seen throughout this movie between men. They include mild blood.

A man throws another man off his glider which hurts him. Later you see part of his mask cut off, cuts and bruises on his face, and blood in his mouth.

The ending fight scene between The Green Goblin and Spider-Man is very brutal and quite bloody. This especially goes for when the Goblin secretly remotely controls his glider to impale Spider-Man, but Spider-Man, warned by his spider-sense of the danger, dodges the attack and strikes the Goblin himself.

3/10

Hell is used like 6

Damn is used once

Ass is used 3 or 4 times

Piss is used Once

5/10 Norman Osborn take a drug to became the green goblin.

A man is shown drinking alcohol.

Some smoking and drinking.

6/10

The Green Goblin's appearance and his bizarre mask might be unsettling or scary to some younger kids.

The Green Goblin lobs some grenade-like devices into a building that causes some major explosions and a large stone balcony to begin to fall away from the building (with Mary Jane on it). Peter uses his web to pull people out of the way before parts of the building fall on them before running off to change into Spider-Man. As Spider-Man then fights the Goblin, he tries to save Mary Jane as that balcony eventually falls away from the building and she plummets toward the street.

A very frightening and a jumpy scene where Norman starts off talking to Harry saying "Last night I was-" and then you hear a very loud sound which would make anyone jump (regardless of their age).

The scene were Aunt May is praying and then suddenly the Green Goblin breaks into her window is quite jumpy and intense.

"I'm gonna finish her, nice and slow" line might scare some people.

An intense scene is where the Green Goblin tries to kill the children in a rail car and Mary-Jane (he throws them). He asks Spider-man which should he save while the children on the ride and Mary-Jane are falling to their deaths. Spider-Man manages to grab both and struggles to keep his grip on this extremely heavy load while a helpful river barge crew tries to manoeuvre their boat underneath the car so it can be deposited on it safely even while the Green Goblin swings around to attack the superhero again.

The scene where Norman experiments on himself with the enhancing chemical vapor is frightening. After that he looks mad, and he proceeds to throw a colleague through a glass window to his death.
