Jordan's Comment: "Every comic book hero since the beginning of time has had a peppy teenage sidekick. But what if the teenager was the hero himself? That was the idea from which comic book legend Stan Lee began. Lee's finished product was Spider-Man - and it became one of the best-selling comic book franchises ever. Sam Raimi's film adaptation stays true to the magic of the series, and became the biggest movie of summer 2002.
Spider-Man continues the tradition of showing smart, quality blockbusters in the prime-time slot at the JRFF. Enjoy!"
Trivia: Before auditioning for the film, Tobey Maguire had never read any of the Spider-Man comics.
