Spider-man movies are the amazing story line of a simple guy who became a superhero. Why this hero is so popular and watched by everybody? From my point of view, this comics is popular because of a superhero that lives daily life, and on another hand needs to fight criminals. He discovers new friends, villains, lose that is precious to him and finds new hope to overcome those obstacles. Throwing away all his problems he faces each time, he keeps moving forward every time. People think that Spider-man is recreation of human beings. He has the same feelings, faces distinctive situations that can happen to everyone in this world. Everyone imagined themselves on Pete Parkers place. Because of this numerous facts, this movie has different age audience.
