Lealos: When Spider-Man: No Way Home hit theaters in December, no one could have expected what would happen. This makes it important for fans to know where to watch Spider-Man movies on streaming. Even then, A-listers were ready and willing to lend their talents in portraying the comic book big shots. Spider-man continues to lead the way for superheroes on screen.

But even before the birth of the MCU, Spider-Man was an important superhero on the screen. With both studios once again playing nicely in the sandbox together, the web-slinger will remain a beloved and important part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 'The Amazing Spider-Man' comic book was a childhood favorite of mine, and I can honestly say that Sam Raimi has done it justice! I'm going to go see this movie again (sans terrified six-year-old).Between Sony and Marvel, Spider-Manseems to be in the news whether a new movie is preparing to hit theaters or not. However, I saw the movie with a six-year-old, who found the villainous Green Goblin - superbly personified by Willem Dafoe - very, very frightening, so I would advise against taking children younger than 10 years of age to this movie. Although I could easily tell when Spidey was a computer-generated image (or a stunt double for that matter), it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the movie. I also thought the special effects were very good. Simmons ('Oz,' Law & Order') as newspaper publisher J. Especially good were Rosemary Harris and Cliff Robertson as Aunt May and Uncle Ben Parker, Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn/the Green Goblin, James Franco as Harry Osborn, and Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson. I also didn't mind the changes to the 'Peter Parker: The Amazing Spider-Man' comic book story that the film's writers made, e.g., having Spider-Man's web come out of glands in his wrists rather than being an invention of Peter Parker's. His boyish glee at discovering his new superpowers was infectious and got a lot of laughs.

Tobey Maguire was very believable as the gawky teenager in the early part of the film and then, after his run-in with the radioactive, genetically engineered spider, as the athletic, acrobatic superhero of the title. Director Sam Raimi kept the action quotient high, but also emphasized the human element of the story. I thoroughly enjoyed 'Spider-Man,' which I saw in a screening.
