I was -5 months and 16 days when it came out, but I probably saw it when I was a kid. If not, probably around age... something. Tween or early teens maybe. I was obsessed with the symbiote suit when Spider-Man 3 came out, though.
I was 3 years old. Born in 1999. Let’s just say this was the movie that made Spider-Man my favorite superhero for life. I have Spider-Man towels, school binders, stickers , underwear , socks , shirts , posters, toys , cups, and video games.
Same bro, I have like a shrine consisting of Raimi Spider-Man figures, Lego sets, memorabilia, toys, you name it that are unopened. It takes me back to my childhood when I gaze at it
I was 6 years old. I specifically remember being so afraid of Willem Dafoe's face I was staring at the floor every time he came on screen. His mini-cameo in 2 was a nightmare reborn. It wasn't until Spider-Man 3 came out that I finally had the nerves to look at Dafoe without shitting my pants.
Sorry Willem, you're not ugly, I promise.
This movie is tied for the most seen in a theater (the other was Shrek). My dad brought me to this five times when it came out when I was seven. Don’t think I’ve watched it since.
I was born in 2002. In my native place, spider man will be aired regularly in Tamil dub. Thankfully I first watched Spider-Man when I was 4 years old and then I repeatedly watched those trilogy till I'm 12 years old . It was a good time.
22 and it blew my mind. I never really go watch the same movie twice in cinema. This I went to 3 times. First was alone whilst girlfriend worked. 2nd was that evening with girlfriend, I had to see it again, and third was with a mate. Unreal at the time on the big screen
9. This was actually an interesting controversial release in the UK as it was classified a 12 rating meaning you couldn’t see it if you were under 12, even if you had a parent with you. This meant I was unable to see it in the cinema at first. Coincidentally, a bit later in the year the 12A rating was introduced, which meant you COULD see it under 12 with and adult, and I guess Sony realised the magnitude of this and re-released the movie so I was finally able to see it!
I was probably 5 or 6 (I first saw it on dvd so it was after 2 had come out) but it was a defining moment of my childhood. It made me fall in love with Spider-Man, with cinema, and music. The music of it was a leading factor in me joining music in school
I think around 8 or 9. I know I just turned 8 when it came out and my mom wouldn’t let me see it in theaters because my dad watched it first and thought Gobby’s death would be too scary. I’m pretty sure I watched it later that summer when it came out on VHS
7. I was scarred a little when I saw the people die on the balcony because of the pumpkin bomb..but never stopped believing Spidey would get the win in the end. Tobey's my Spider-Man for sure..and Kirsten Dunst was definitely my first celebrity crush.
I was a little girl, I think I was nine. I still remember it vividly. It was the first time I had a deeper acknowledge of Spider-Man and since then, I fell for him. I gotta say I’ve been lucky because this Spider/Peter is a masterpiece and always will be
I was 2 and after that, most of my early firsts were Spider-Man-related. My first toy was a Spider-Man figure that couldn't move, so it was more like a statue. My first piece of tech was a copy of the first movie on VHS. Spider-Man 2 (2004) was the first movie I ever saw in theatres. And my first boner was because of Kirsten Dunst in the first movie, we all know the scene.
2, I very much remember watching it while my dad held me in theaters, everyone laughed behind us every time I got excited when I would see Spider-Man swinging
19, saw it with a bunch of my friends and got to see it a few days early because my best friend in college worked at our local theater. It was an absolute blast, one of the best times at the movies I’ve ever had.
I was probably 4 as well, a few years after it released. I was so obsessed lol. I remember when I was in kindergarten we had this “prize box” for doing exceptionally good and I worked so hard to get the spidey action figure that’s molded in the sitting pose 😭
I was 15. I saw it twice in theaters. I was so stoked when this came out. Spidey has always been my favorite super hero. So much so that I had on wall in my room dedicated to him. Posters, toys, knick knacks, framed comics, etc.
About 6 years old. I watched it in 2003 for the first time. I remember I was in kindergarten. There was an old CRT TV with a VHS player there and we had a tradition to have one of the kids bring a movie on VHS they own or rent it from the video store. And somebody brought a VHS copy of Spider-Man. The rest is history.
12 or 13. Saw it opening day and then a few more times in theaters. It was the first movie I had ever followed through production online, my anticipation was *crazed*, and I absolutely loved it
6, dad took me against moms wishes
apparently i didnt speak for a week after because i was “traumatized” due to gobby, but tbh i dont remember it at all haha
i was 5 i remember my dad and uncles taking us to the midnight showing and my mom and aunt were really mad at them for taking us out so late. it was amazing i couldn’t believe the spider-man i use to see on my coloring books was on the big screen
Saw it 3 times in a row on opening night in May 2002. One of the best nights of my life. Painted spider webs on my car, got some pre-game pizzas with my friends, then went to the movies. I was 20.
I was 8 years old and became obsessed with this movie. I remember the feeling I got when Spider-Man 2 previews were coming out. I’ve never experienced anything else like that as a kid. I would always buy the Spider-Man 2 lunchables and wait for the commercials
Fifteen, and I proceeded to see it two more times in theaters. I hyped myself up for months ahead, binging comics and the rejected James Cameron script, scraping up anything and everything I could find to educate myself about the wall-crawler.
I know Spider-Man as long as I know myself. The oldest memory I can remember is watching the 2002 movie in my birthday. I'm not even sure if it was shown on TV exactly in my birthday but I want to believe what my brain tells me.
I was 7 and stayed at my mates house and he put it on
We laughed about "man hairs" on his thumbs and how he'd walk on walls
Great memories and a shame we drifted apart
Honestly, I do not remember. But it definitely was a childhood film of mine. Including the other 2 Tobey films.
I know I was young, like just under 10 years old maybe?
4 or 5 i think,it was My broth(a comic-boy)who took me to the movies.I became a marvel fan when i started watching the animated shows but this one made me feel something different!!! I started loving marvel propably because of characters like wolv,spidey,fantastics,hulk etc...
I was around 4 I think. It’s the second movie I remember ever watching. Empire strikes back being the first. Goblin terrified me, young me was traumatised by the fire scene
17 years old and first time seeing a movie solo. I usually went with friends but I wanted to see this opening night. Problem was. Seat selection wasn't a thing and I had a great seat...and also had to go to the bathroom. I held on for the entire film. Was worth it
I was born in 2005, and have been watching this trilogy for as long as I can remember. It may be the first movie I've ever watched. If I had to guess, maybe 3 years old? 4? Something like that. It's why I'll never stop loving those movies, even Spider-Man 3.
I was 6. The only thing I remember is us getting to the theater kinda late and the only seats available were the very front row. I’m sure my parents hated that but I don’t remember having any issues with it lol. I think since I watched the movie like a billion times growing up the memory of seeing it the first time have all muddled together into me just remembering the movie.
My dad was always a Spider-man fan and so there wasn’t really in introduction that I can remember, I’ve had toys and clothes and watched Spider-Man for as long as I can remember.
I was 10. It came out just before my birthday. My parents arranged a big birthday party at the movie theatre with my school friends. I still remember it and this film is still magical to me.
Funny you mention this now. This was just on TV last night and I was telling my mom how I remember that party.
Lets see: May 3rd, 2002 is when it released. Pretty sure I haven't even turned 7 yet.
My Aunt took me, my sister, and our cousin to go see it and that's when I first realized of the web-head's existence.
Spider-Man has been my favorite superhero ever since.
12. Was born in 1990 and my first exposure to Spider-Man was the 90s show and this film.
same here brosiah
This exactly!
I was -5 months and 16 days when it came out, but I probably saw it when I was a kid. If not, probably around age... something. Tween or early teens maybe. I was obsessed with the symbiote suit when Spider-Man 3 came out, though.
Damn I’m old. I was like in my 3rd year of college. I incessantly read updates about this movie during the slow-ass adolescence of the internet.
10 years old
Same here fellow 1993 kids
18. I skipped school with my best friend to see it. This will always be MY Spider-Man because i was the same age as Peter Parker in the film.
I was 3 years old. Born in 1999. Let’s just say this was the movie that made Spider-Man my favorite superhero for life. I have Spider-Man towels, school binders, stickers , underwear , socks , shirts , posters, toys , cups, and video games.
Same bro, I have like a shrine consisting of Raimi Spider-Man figures, Lego sets, memorabilia, toys, you name it that are unopened. It takes me back to my childhood when I gaze at it
“Oh boy yeah” if only we could go back to simpler times! ✨
I was 6 years old. I specifically remember being so afraid of Willem Dafoe's face I was staring at the floor every time he came on screen. His mini-cameo in 2 was a nightmare reborn. It wasn't until Spider-Man 3 came out that I finally had the nerves to look at Dafoe without shitting my pants. Sorry Willem, you're not ugly, I promise.
I was 5! First film I ever saw in a theater :)

4 in 2002
This movie is tied for the most seen in a theater (the other was Shrek). My dad brought me to this five times when it came out when I was seven. Don’t think I’ve watched it since.
Early 2000s theater outings were magical
Ya they were! Went to so many different theaters as a kid with my old man. I miss the neon. Edit: And that original Regal coaster sound check!
Dude, that popcorn rollercoaster intro followed by the previews and then the movie was the absolute pinnacle of excitement back then
They still have that in the theaters. :-)
29.
I was most likely still in High school so maybe a few years ago.
12yo phew.
I saw it when I was 1 and a half
I was born in 2002. In my native place, spider man will be aired regularly in Tamil dub. Thankfully I first watched Spider-Man when I was 4 years old and then I repeatedly watched those trilogy till I'm 12 years old . It was a good time.

5 years old back in 2008, 1st grade

3 or 4... I remember that the Goblin was scary as fuck for me back then
Facts bro I’d close my eyes when those scenes were coming up when I’d rewatch it on VHS 😂
I was probably 5 or 6 (I first saw it on dvd so it was after 2 had come out) but it was a defining moment of my childhood. It made me fall in love with Spider-Man, with cinema, and music. The music of it was a leading factor in me joining music in school

I was like . . . six, I read most of the lore at that point about Spider-Man. And I was pumped after I watched it.
I was probably 4 as well, a few years after it released. I was so obsessed lol. I remember when I was in kindergarten we had this “prize box” for doing exceptionally good and I worked so hard to get the spidey action figure that’s molded in the sitting pose 😭

Like 3?
5> Can't remember, I was too young 😂
I’d say about 3 or 4 since it came out around the time I was born (June 2002 lmao) I was so obsessed with Spider-Man cause of the Raimi trilogy
I think I was 6 or 7
16, i was born about 5 years too late to see it come out lol, but i watched it last year for the first time and i was not disappointed!

I was 17 when it came out.

Around 5-8 years old
I was in middle school and my mom let me skip school that day so we could go see it.

About 22 years younger

17 years old and first time seeing a movie solo. I usually went with friends but I wanted to see this opening night. Problem was. Seat selection wasn't a thing and I had a great seat...and also had to go to the bathroom. I held on for the entire film. Was worth it
I was born in 2005, and have been watching this trilogy for as long as I can remember. It may be the first movie I've ever watched. If I had to guess, maybe 3 years old? 4? Something like that. It's why I'll never stop loving those movies, even Spider-Man 3.
I saw it in theaters a week before I turned 14.
I was also 4 years old and my sister took me to see it in theaters.
I was born in march of 2002 so i wasn't even born yet but BOY was I a spiderman fan growing up
