Roger Ebert
Tobey Maguire is pitch-perfect as the socially retarded Peter Parker, but when he becomes Spider-Man, the film turns to action sequences that zip along like perfunctory cartoons.

The Hollywood Reporter
Tobey Maguire plays Peter Parker/Spider-Man, which is the smartest decision director Sam Raimi and his colleagues made.

BBC
It's a minor miracle that Sam Raimi's comic book caper is such a stylish, exciting, and ingenious thrill-ride.

Common Sense Media
Kids can take inspiration and positive messages from the protagonist, as the film has underlying themes of responsibility, morals, self control and righteousness.

Rotten Tomatoes
The first Spider-Man isn't the best of Raimi's three Spidey films, but it's a very important film, one that set the template for how Marvel superhero movies would look for the next 20 years.

IMDb
"Filled with impressive visual effects and a wonderful music score by Danny Elfman, director Sam Raimi perfectly stays true to the original Spider-Man concept."
