Spider-Man Pictures: A New Age of Classic Entertainment

In 1962, Marvel Comics introduced a shy, mild mannered teen named Peter Parker to the world. You may know him better as Spider-Man -- a superhero with all kinds of amazing spider powers and a cool red and blue suit. Peter Parker turned into Spider-Man after being bitten by a radioactive arachnid at a science exhibition. It was only after deciding to go after the villain who killed his uncle did Parker decide to use his Spider-Man alter-ego for the purposes of crime fighting. If you think this sounds interesting, you're not alone. Spider-Man comics and cartoons were so popular that in 2002, the first live action movie picture was released.

The first Spider-Man picture, or film was released to lots of eager fans who snatched up tickets and made the film one of the most popular to date. It could definitely be called a blockbuster, and starred Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man, Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson, Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn aka the Green Goblin, and James Franco as Osborn's son Harry. The film is quite accurate as far as the story line is concerned. After witnessing the death of his beloved uncle, Peter decides to use his spider powers to catch his uncle's killer. Along the way, he battles villains and even finds time for a little romance with Mary Jane Watson.

Next comes Spider-Man 2. This movie won an Academy Award and stars many of the same actors as the first film. This movie picks up two years after the end of the last one. At the start of this movie, Peter is having lots of problems in most every aspect of his life. Mary Jane becomes engaged to someone else, he experiences a falling out with his best friend Harry (who doesn't know that Peter is Spider-Man or that his own father was the Green Goblin) and his idol Otto Octavius turns into a villain named Doctor Octopus. For awhile, Peter even hangs up his spider suit and vows to quit -- that is, until Mary Jane is kidnapped by Doctor Octopus.

In 2007 Spider-Man pictures fans will surely fill the theaters for the third in a very successful movie franchise. The third movie stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, of course, but also a few new cast members. Thomas Haden Church plays Sandman, while Topher Grace lends his talents as Venom. It's sure to be a great movie that Spider-Man fans everywhere will enjoy!
