Spider-Man (film)/YMMV
- Awesome Music: Danny Elfman did a great job composing the film's music.
- Creator Worship: The success of the film resulted in fans praising Sam Raimi.
- Ensemble Darkhorse: J. Jonah Jameson stole the spotlight at the Daily Bugle.
- First Installment Wins: For those who prefer it over Spider-Man 2, it has a simpler storyline and effective message about responsible.
- Fountain of Memes: J. Jonah Jameson and Norman Osborn are the most quotable characters of the first film.
- Genre Turning Point: The success of the film resulted in dozens of Marvel movies being greenlit.
- Harsher in Hindsight: The Goblin telling Spidey that the public will hate him became harder to watch due to the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home, where Mysterio frames Spidey, causing the public to hate him.
- Memetic Badass: Like Bully Maguire of Spider-Man 3, the Green Goblin is memetically exaggerated.
- Memetic Mutation: As with the other Raimi Spidey films, it sure is quotable.
- "IMPRESSIVE!"
- "I offered you friendship and you spat in my face."
- "YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED!?!"
- "Misery, misery, misery. That's what you've chosen."
- "I missed the part where that's my problem."
- "I wouldn't want to fight me, neither."
- Narm:
- The Green Goblin would have been more menacing if his helmet didn't resemble a Power Rangers helmet.
- Norman Osborn's glider landed directly at his groin.
- Narm Charm: The Green Goblin's yellow eyes when he scared Aunt May were surprisingly effective.
- One-Scene Wonder: Bruce Campbell as the Ringmaster and Randy Savage as Bonesaw stole the cage match scene.
- Sacred Cow: J.K. Simmons' performance as J. Jonah Jameson is shown in a universally positive light for fans and non-fans.
- Signature Line: "With great power comes great responsibility."
- Signature Scene: Peter and Mary Jane's upside-down kiss in the rain.
- Signature Song: "Hero" by Chad Kroeger and Josey Scott.
- Special Effect Failure: The CGI resembled a PlayStation 2 game cutscene.
- Unacceptable Targets: Saying that Tobey Maguire isn't your favorite Spider-Man can cause an outrage.
- Values Dissonance: Peter asking Bonesaw if his husband made Bonesaw's outfit wouldn't fly in a later decade given advances made by the LGBTQ community.
- What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: The film has a scene where Mary Jane's nipples are see through and the Green Goblin can be potentially frightening to younger viewers.
