SPIDER-MAN: Based on the classic Marvel Comics series, Sam Raimi`s SPIDER-MAN deftly details the origin of the web-slinging superhero. When awkward New York City teenager Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) attends a class field trip to a laboratory, he gets bitten by a genetically altered spider while taking photos of his longtime crush, the lovely Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst).

When the deranged Octavius (AKA Doc Ock) forms an alliance with the veng
