How old were you when you saw it in theatres?


I was 10 years old about to graduate from elementary school. Remember it like it was yesterday. Saw it with my neighbor friend and his dad. After the movie we talked about the scenes we liked. Friend's dad said he liked the "great reflexes" scene. I also talked about scenes that reminded me of the animated series that was on Fox Kids in my earlier elementary years. I saw it in theatres again about 2 more times. Fell in love with this movie when I was a kid. Even had the toy web shooter that shot either white silly string or water. The damn thing kept breaking. The video game on Xbox was a load of fun.

The levels, graphics, the cheat codes. Spent HOURS on that game. i remember a spiderman super soaker that I wanted badly but never got. That was when superhero movie video games were good. Now they all suck.

About to turn 25 and the day I saw one of the first and best superhero movies ever still feels like it was just last week.

Sure TASM was okay, but didn't have the spark this one had. Now we have another new Soidey for the Avengers. Here's to the kids who will hopefully latch on to the new Sider-Man.

I had just turned 12 years-old and went to see it the day after it opened. I was so excited, and I went with my cousin. The theatre was completely packed. Almost sold-out. I loved the movie and I went at least another 5 times while it was in theatre. I'm actually watching in now on blu ray. I find it ironic how much I loved it back then, and how much I hate it now... As I got older I decided to go back and read the comics, and I just feel like Raimi's movies are such a poor adaptation of the source material. I'm so unsatisfied with it that I'm about to put on Civil War.

I was 11 years old. I am looking forward to seeing 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'.

All you need is love!

I was 13. Still one of my most memorable movie-going experiences.
