Spiderman

Spiderman Starring: Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Willem Dafoe, James Franco
Directed by: Sam Raimi
Written by: David Koepp

Based on the Marvel comics, this is the story of Peter Parker (actor: Tobey Maguire), who is a nerdy high school student who lives with his Aunt May and Uncle Ben after the death of his parents when he was just a baby. He's a good student with a not-so-great social life and a knack for bad luck. One day, at a genetics lab, a stray spider randomly strikes Peter's body and bites him, miraculously giving him incredible spider-like abilities such as better eyesight, climbing walls, producing string for webs and even muscles.

Spiderman 1

Peter Parker gains his spider-like abilities and an arch enemy, the Green Goblin (actor: James Franco), appears, whom he has to battle against. Soon, Peter finds out that the Green Goblin is really Harry's (actor: Willem Dafoe) father [Harry being Peter's best friend].
Meanwhile, Peter's love life isn't going too well. Mary Jane Watson (actress: Kirsten Dunst) is his next door neighbor, as well as the love of his life.

Towards the end of the movie, the Green Goblin accidentally kills himself while attempting to kill Spiderman.

Harry avenges to kill Spiderman, unknown to the fact that his best friend is he.
Mary Jane soon admits her feelings to Peter, yet he doesn't say he loves her back, even though he does, because if his enemies find out, she could be in danger.

Spiderman 2

This is the sequel to Spiderman 1. In this movie, a new villain arises, 'Doc Ock'. His four mechanical arms take over his brain, causing him to turn evil. Spiderman faces great danger as he slowly looses his powers, for some unknown reason. During the film, Mary Jane and Harry find out that he is Spiderman. He soon gains his powers and defeats Doc Ock. He admits his feelings to Mary Jane.

At the end of the movie, Mary Jane comes running to Peter on her canceled wedding day. She is willing to face dangers that may come. Harry, on the other hand, finds his father's secret lab filled with menacing Green Goblin items. This is to be continued onto Spiderman 3.

Spiderman 3

There are three villains in this movie: Harry as the new Green Goblin, the Sandman and Venom. At the beginning of this movie, Spiderman is basking in the glory of his fans.
Yet, there is an unknown substance from outer space awaiting to take over his body. It soon manages to do so, turning Spiderman as well as Peter into a hateful person who is full of anger and revenge. His suit turns black as well as his personality. He becomes full of himself and not giving a care in the world. He tries to make Mary Jane jealous, since they split up earlier in the movie.

Spiderman fights the Sandman who is said to be the man who killed Peter's uncle, Ben. Peter, after turning back to normal, forgives the Sandman, and Harry becomes Spiderman/Peter's friend again. However, the black substance that has now come off Peter, takes over Eddie Brock's [Topher Grace] body, creating the character Venom. Harry in the end, dies trying to help Spiderman.

Spiderman manages to help Eddie get the substance off, yet Eddie is dedicated to it and also dies/disappears trying to obtain the substance. In the end, Peter Parker and Mary Jane live happily together.

It is said that there may be a Spierman 4 in 2009, and I'm sure it'll be just as great as the previous three, with the same amazing actors and a different incredible plotline.
