  • Awesome Music: Danny Elfman did a great job composing the film's music.
  • Can't Unhear It: Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco and J.K. Simmons are possibly the first people that come to mind when they read Spider-Man, Norman Osborn, Mary Jane, Harry Obsorn, and especially J. Jonah Jameson's lines.
  • 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.
  • 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 was 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.
  • Seinfeld Is Unfunny: While it helped start dozens of Marvel films since then such as Fantastic Four and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's hard to forget it's impact on the film industry. The fact that Spider-Man 2 got better reception made it so.
  • Signature Line: "With great power comes great responsibility."
  • Signature Scene: There are several.
    • Peter and Mary Jane's upside down kiss.
  • Signature Song: "Hero" by Chad Kroeger and Josey Scott.
  • Values Dissonance: Peter asking Bonesaw if his husband made Bonesaw's outfit wouldn't fly in a later decade given that the gay community has been given more support.
