Spider-Man
PG-13 | 2002 | Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe
Sci-fi actioner about a nerdish teen who, after being bitten by a genetically modified spider, gains arachnid-like agility, super-strength, and web-slinging abilities. He uses his newfound talents to fight crime, particularly the anarchic rampage of a super-villain known as the Green Goblin.
A tick on the bottom right corner indicates a superior work -- although this is obviously a matter of taste. To give another quality benchmark for films, we have surveyed some leading critics and recorded their views, on a scale of 1 (poor) to 10 (outstanding).
