    Still iffy for 13-14 year olds.

    A little iffy for a 13y/o. This has more blood than other recent superhero films. The scene with MJ and SM is quite sensual, cos you can see her nipples poking through her top. The Green Goblin is quite scary.

    Common Sense Pretty Accurate

    I watched this movie at the theater when it came out, but I've probably only seen it once or twice since then. My 12 year old has been bugging me to see it. Trustin Common Sense, I decided to let her watch it. She has seen all the Heroes (NBC) episodes, so know up front that she's accustom to a certain level of violence and language. I have to agree with Common Sense's review. It's appropriate for kids 11 and older depending on the child and the parent's leniency for violence or language. I listened for the "S" word and never heard it. Lots of "A" (rear-end) references, even by Peter's Uncle Ben. I don't remember Peter himself ever using bad language. There is a degree of violence throughout. The last fight sense was rather painful for my daughter to watch (as Spidy gets the snot beat out of him). There's quite a bit of blood to boot. So just be careful. In the end, the movie was still an appropriate watch for my 12 year old. It has some good overall themes about what it means to be a hero that I enjoyed recapping later with my child. For the faint of heart, preview (as always) this movie before letting the kids watch, but I give it a thumbs up for 12 and over.

    Once of the better Superhero movies out there...

    To put it simply, this is a fun movie to watch. There is great action, great storyline, great character development, and great special effects. I believe that this movie is appropriate for some kids even as young as 11, though it will be pushing their limits a bit. The violence is mostly comic, but the green goblin is rather scary. He goes insane, and the scenes in which he talks to himself could scare even teens at the age of 13. My oppinion is that this is iffy for kids aged eleven, but appropriate for all kids ages twelve and up!

    Good movie, bood for kids 11-12 and up!

    First of all, this is an excellent movie. There is alot of violence, but like most superhero movies it is in a cartoonish sort of way. There is a passionate kissing scene, and some revealing outfits. The scene where Dr. Osborn becomes the green goblin is an intense and scary scene, and the scenes where he talks to himself also are rather frightening. Younger children may find the green goblin scary in appearance, and if they do they will not be comforted by his actions. This movie is too intense for sensitive 11 year olds, but fine for any 12 year olds

    This is a great movie

    This is one of the best comic book hero movies I have ever seen. Unfortunately one scene in the rain shows way too much for a PG-13 Movie. Minus this one scene, this movie could be PG. With this scene, I would say R

    Action-Packed Fun for ages 11 and up!

    Spider-man is based on a comic book character in a comic book. And that's all that's bad in the movie: violence, though it's more super-hero style than Pulp Fiction style. Several people are put in danger, but Spider-man saves them all. The two most violent parts are when a man is thrown through a glass wall (we later learn that he died), and a man is grusomely impaled by a protruding blade. Parents need to know that the villain may be frightening, and early on in the movie Spider-man evades the police and exacts his own revenge on the man who killed his uncle. But on the plus side, Spider-man is a good role model and his uncle tells him that "with great power comes great responsibility." The movie also has various morals. All in all, the violence in Spider-man isn't really that graphic, and the language used is, for the most part, mild. The movie is appropriate for ages 11 and up, and will be fun for your whole family.

    A great movie in all ways.

    Spiderman is all about a nerdy high school student who is bitten bitten by a spider and turns into Spiderman; freeing NYC from the threat of evil. Sexual Content: Kissing Violence: Intense action sequences; main characters in peril; Green Goblin is impaled by his glider; Uncle Ben is murdered. Language: a-- is used 4 times; h---is used 5 times; "sucks" is used once; "crap" is used 3 times( all by the same person; p-ss is used once. Alcohol/Tobacco/Drugs: Spiderman jumps on a beer truck. Social Behavior: Overall good, but Spiderman takes revenge in one scene. As you can see, Spiderman is a great movie but suffers from intense violence and mild language. Because of this, Spiderman is OK for kids 12 and up. For younger children, rent it and preview it before you let them view it.

    COOOOLLLL!!!!

    I was always bumed that all my friend s could watch PG-13 movies and I couldn't, now that i've seen this I know why! 1.Punching,kicking,killing,exsploshins,guns rarely used though,the blood is only in 3 scenes. 2.just a couple swear words like "kick his spider @#$!!!!!" the worst scene is the last scene when the green goblin gets stabed in the chest and starts chouching up blood was so bad my mom wasn't sure i should see it! Ther is one creepy part where the green goplin uses this bomb thing to turn these guys to skeeletons! so just wait until your kids are 12 for them to see it.
