Spider-Man is an amazing character and many children, teens and adults like his films.  Spider-Man first started as a comic book series and the comics became quiet expensive and popular. They then added some animation on Spider-Man and created a cartoon, the cartoon didn't stick around much. Later Spider-Man became a film. The first film was accomplished and more films were made. 


Have you ever wondered who were the creators of the Spider-Man comic books? Well the comic books started by a staff of group members, each were assigned a different position. Each of theses members jobs where being a braintrust, a writer, an artist or even having the most brilliant ideas. For example Stan Lee Co-created Spider-Man with Steve Ditko he wrote the comic books during the year (1941-1942) - (1945-1972).

Later the comic book was later made in to a cartoon version. Marvel Animation had announced that the MIPTV conference will have an animated take on Ultimate Spider-Man for Disney. According to Newsarama.com Marvel Animation president Eric S. Rollman told the conference that the "Ultimate Spider-Man was going to be a unique journey their is going to be never before seen stories filled with great challenges, new friends, and intense action. The new series came up after Sony gave up the rights to the animated series "Spectacular Spider-Man".

Spider-Man became a film the first film series in the year 2002 it was based on Marvel Comics of character Spider-Man. It was directed by Sam Raimi and written by David Koepp. The movie is about a boy in high school who turns to crime fighting after he developed spider powers. For nearly 25 years the film was finally licensed for a worlwide release by Sony in 1999. The directors Roland Emmerich, Tim Burton, Chris Columbus, and David Fincher had to direct the movie before Raimi was hired as a director.

The filming took place in California and New York City from January to June 2001 and it was released on May 3, 2002. It was a financial success and was the 26th highest-grossing film. Spider-man was the only film that reached to $100 million in the first weekend, all this was based on the comic book. From the success of the first Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man 2 was released in 2004, and Spider-Man 3 was released in 2007 all were directed by Raimi.

John Dykstra was hited to produce the visusl effects for Spider-Man, he convinced Raimi to make many of the stunts computer generated, which would have been physically impossible. Raimi worked hard to plan all the sequences of Spider-Man from him swinging to buildings to the complexity of the scenes. The biggest difficulty of creating Spider-Man was that as the character was masked, it lost a lot of characterization. In addition, Dykstra's crew had to composite areas of New York City and replaced every car in shots with digital models.


The director has done an outstanding job on all of the Spider-Man series. He is now creating a Spider-Man four that will be released, estimating by August of 2011. His films are always exciting, intense, and are great movies. I am a Spider-Man fan myself and enjoy reading the comics. Spider-Man is a big hit and will continue to be a huge success.
