This movie started the superhero craze of the 21st century with it's riveting portrayal of one of the most beloved characters in the Marvel comics. The special effects were amazing for their time and they do sometimes show their age but it's perfectly understandable as this movie is like 20 years old. Story wise it's great. Tobey Maguire is the perfect Spider-Man in my opinion. He did look a bit older than a high schooler but he's totally believable as a college student. He really nails the nerdiness and good guy nature of Peter Parker. Something his successors would unfortunately fail to do.
