The menu selection is a visual treat and the DVD-ROM extras are a nice bonus, from Marvel dot comics to an Activision Spider-Man PC game demo. The DVD is literally packed with special features from on-screen pop-ups that display information and tidbits pertaining to what was said, or shown in a particular scene, and a "spider sense" that takes you from the main movie to a mini-movie when you press the proper remote button. This doesn't allow us to see Pete as a scientist, which I love, but maybe they will bring some of that out (and some higher jumping) for the sequel! More of the Bugle characters hopefully will make an extended appearance in the sequels, too. The creators decided it was easier than having to explain how he was able to pay for the chemicals for the webbing. The CGI Spider-Man was fantastic! The talents involved with the CGI captured Spider-Man's movements so flawlessly, I almost believed at some points that it was actually a person performing Spidey's complex acrobatic abilities and fighting style, but would have liked to see a bit more jumping Spidey can jump pretty high and far, but will hopefully be more prominent when the character is older (in the sequels!) I'll have to get used to the organic webs which was my least favorite aspect of the film.
A great deal of time was invested in getting a costume for Spidey that looks awesome this endeavor was obviously taken very seriously and the designers did a great job. If you look quickly, you'll see Stan (The Man) Lee making a little heroic appearance! Right from the start, the characters are believable, and the characters are fleshed out wonderfully from the comic. Willem Dafoe's Norman/Goblin over-the-top performance was superb, but the armored costume took some getting used to. Sam's brother Ted Raimi (from Xena) was a nice surprise appearing in the Daily Bugle office. Simmons stole the show as Jameson, who played the part magnificently he literally WAS Jonah. Kirsten Dunst was an excellent Mary Jane, and Cliff Robertson and Rosemary Harris were the best as Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Better actors could not have been picked to play these roles Tobey Maguire made the role of Peter Parker his. His parents had a Spider-Man mural painted on his wall for him in his childhood, and he had the perfect vision for how Spider-Man should be. Sam Raimi was the best choice for director for Spider-Man.
