My 12 year old daughter and I watched this today

That’s awesome that your daughter enjoyed it.

Great films, all three of them, yes even the third. Plus Tobey makes the best Spidey in my opinion.

It'a called "capturing lightning in a bottle", "movie magic" so to speak. No matter how hard Hollywood tries it happens less and less when making movies. Movie like the original Spider-Man is a love letter to the audience, Everyone who worked on this movie put in their love and it shows. When the right people are in the right place doing what they love the most is when we get special rare gems like these.

This is the only movie I've seen more than once in a theater, saw it 4x.

I appreciate any kid who loved a movie that's older than they are. And she's right about the effects. I thought they looked bad when it first came out, too.

That's so nice.
I still enjoy it too. I liked the dynamic of Harry and Pete and Norman and M.J. The characters are all important to what happens in this movie.
Maybe Homecoming reflects the newer comics, but in the comics I read as a kid he was considered a freak. The idea of him joining the Avengers contradicts what the character was in the 70s and 80s. I think Raimi must be a fan of that era.
If Sony does movies without Marvel again, they are going to have a hard time recapturing this magic.

The first and best one imo.
I choked up when I saw those old comic panels come to life on the big screen.
