Spider-Man (2002)

Share this quote on facebook [first lines] Who am I? You sure you wanna know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said it was a happy little tale...if somebody told you I was just an average ordinary guy, not a care in the world...somebody lied. But let me assure you: This, like any story worth telling, is all about a girl. That girl. The girl next door. Mary Jane Watson. The woman I've loved since before I even liked girls. [referring to Flash Thompson sitting next to her] I'd like to say that's me sitting next to her. [referring to an overweight kid in front of them messily eating a jelly doughnut] Aw, heck, I'd even take him. [he and the other kids see a nerdy Peter running along the bus, asking to stop] That's me.

Norman: What, so you want me to just trade in my car for a Jetta just because you flunked out of every private school I ever sent you to?
Harry: It wasn't for me.
Norman: Of course it was. Don't ever be ashamed of who you are.

Share this quote on facebook Ben Parker: Hey, listen, Pete, we need to talk.
Peter: We can talk later.
Ben: We can talk now... if you'll let me.
Peter: Well, what's so important? Why do we need to talk now?
Ben: Because we haven't talked for so long, your Aunt May and I don't even know who you are anymore: You've shirked your chores, you have all those weird experiments in your room, you start fights at school–
Peter: I didn't start that fight, I told you that.
Ben: Well, you sure as Hell finished it.
Peter: What was I supposed to do, run away?
Ben: No, you're not supposed to run away, but– Pete, look, you're changing. I know, I went through exactly the same thing at your age.
Peter: No. Not exactly.
Ben: Peter… these are the years when a man changes into the man he's going to be for the rest of his life. Just be careful who you change into. This guy, Flash Thompson, he probably deserved what happened… but just because you can beat him up, doesn't give you the right to. Remember, with great power... comes great responsibility.
Peter: Are you afraid that I'm gonna turn into some kind of criminal? Quit worrying about me, okay? Something's different. I'll figure it out. Quit lecturing me, please.
Ben: I don't mean to lecture, and I don't mean to preach. And I know I'm not your father-
Peter: Then stop pretending to be!

Peter: I need that money.
Promoter: I missed the part where that's my problem.
[Peter fumes, gives the promoter a pissed off glare, and leaves with the $100 bill and a carjacker enters with an empty bag and throws it at the promoter]
Promoter: Hey, what the hell-!?

Promoter: You could've taken that guy apart! Now he's gonna get away with my money!

May Parker: I know. I miss him too, but... he was there.
Peter: I can't help thinking about... the last thing I said to him. He tried to tell me something important, and I threw it in his face.
May: You loved him. And he loved you. He never doubted the man you'd grow into; how you were meant for great things. I have no doubt in my mind that you won't disappoint him.

Norman: Where are you?
Green Goblin: Follow the cold shiver running down your spine.
[Norman searched wildly around his collection of masks in source of the voice]
Green Goblin: I'm right here!
[Norman turned around at the mirror, looking at his reflection]
Norman: I don't understand.
Green Goblin: Did you think it was coincidence? So many good things all happening for you. ALL for you... Norman.
Norman: What do you want?
Green Goblin: To say what you won't. To do what you can't. To remove those in your way.
Norman: [looking at the newspaper] The Board Members.. You've killed them.
Green Goblin: WE killed them!
Norman: We?
Green Goblin: Remember... your little accident in the laboratory?
Norman: The performance enhancers.
Green Goblin: Bingo. Me! Your greatest creation. Bringing you what you've always wanted. Power beyond your wildest dreams and its only the beginning. There's only one who could stop us. Or imagine if he could joined us. [laughing evilly]

Share this quote on facebook J. Jonah Jameson: Spider-Man. And the Green Goblin. "The Green Goblin." You like that?
Peter: Mr. Jameson–
Jameson: Made it up myself. These weirdos all got to have a name now.
Peter: Mr. Jameson, Spider-Man–
Jameson: [picks up phone] Hoffman!
Hoffman: Yeah?
Jameson: [sees Hoffman in the office, and hangs up the phone.] Call the patent office, copyright the name "Green Goblin". I want a quarter every time somebody says it.
Hoffman: How about "Green Meanie"? [Jameson makes a "get out" hand gesture]
Peter: Spider-Man wasn't attacking the city, he was trying to save it. That's slander.
Jameson: It is not. I resent that. Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel.
Peter Parker: You don't trust anybody, that's your problem.
Jameson: I trust my barber. What are you, his lawyer? Get outta here. [throws his cigar out the window] Let him sue me, get rich like a normal person. That's what makes this country– (Huh?) [his cigar is thrown back in the window, lands in from of him, and the Green Goblin bursts through the The Daily Bugle window] (What the–?!)
Green Goblin: [grabbing Jameson by the throat] Jameson, you slime! Who's the photographer who takes the pictures of Spider-Man?
Jameson: I don't know who he is! His stuff comes in the mail!
Green Goblin: You're lying!
Jameson: I swear!
Green Goblin: He's the one who can take me to him!
Jameson: I don't know who he is!
Green Goblin: [preparing to punch Jameson] You are useless, you--
Spider-Man: [appears upside-down outside the window] Set him down, tough guy.
Green Goblin: [drops Jameson and turns around on the glider] Speak of the Devil!
Jameson: Spider-Man! I knew you two were in this together! I--
Spider-Man: [uses his web to seal Jameson's mouth shut] Hey, kiddo, let Mom and Dad talk for a minute, will ya?
Green Goblin: [uses sleep gas] Sleep!

Green Goblin: Wake up, little spider, wake up. No, you're not dead... yet. Just paralyzed, temporarily. You're an amazing creature, Spider-Man. You and I are not so different.
Spider-Man: [weakly] I'm not like you. You're a murderer.
Green Goblin: Well, to each his own. I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero, and they found you amusing for a while, the people of this city, but the one thing they love more then a hero... is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually, they will hate you. Why bother?
Spider-Man: Because... it's right.
Green Goblin: [taps Spider-Man on the head] Here's the real truth. There are 8,000,000 people in this city, and those teeming masses exist for the sole purpose of lifting the few exceptional people onto their shoulders. You, me, we're exceptional. I could squash you like a bug right now, but I'm offering you a choice - join me. Imagine what we could accomplish together, what we could create... or we could destroy, cause the deaths of countless innocents in selfish battle, again and again and again, until we're both dead! Is that what you want? [jumps onto his glider] Think about it, hero!

Norman: I can't.
Green Goblin: Betrayal must not be countenanced! Parker must be educated.
Norman: What do I do?
Green Goblin: Instruct him in the matters of loss and pain. Make him suffer, make him wish he were dead.
Norman: Yes?
Green Goblin: And then grant his wish.
Norman: But how?
Green Goblin: The cunning warrior attacks neither body nor mind.
Norman: Tell me how!
Green Goblin: The heart, Osborn! First, we attack his heart.

Share this quote on facebook M.J.: Has he mentioned me?
Peter: Yeah.
M.J.: What'd he say?
Peter: Uh... I said... he asked me what I thought about you.
M.J.: And what did you say?
Peter: I said... uh... Spider-Man, I said uh... "The great thing about MJ is... when you look in her eyes and she's looking back in yours... everything... feels... not quite normal." Because you feel stronger and weaker at the same time. You feel excited and at the same time, terrified. The truth is... you don't know what you feel except you know what kind of man you want to be. It's as if you've reached the unreachable and you weren't ready for it."
M.J.: You said that?
Peter: Well, something like that.

Share this quote on facebook Imagine "Superman" with a Clark Kent more charismatic than the Man of Steel, and you'll understand how "Spider-Man" goes wrong. Tobey Maguireis pitch-perfect as the socially retarded Peter Parker, but when he becomes Spider-Man, the film turns to action sequences that zip along like perfunctory cartoons. Not even during Spidey's first experimental outings do we feel that flesh and blood are contending with gravity. Spidey soars too quickly through the skies of Manhattan; he's as convincing as Mighty Mouse.
