The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

Mary Jane shows some cleavage in various outfits in various scenes.

Most notably, in one scene, she's caught in the rain and her wet top reveals that she's not wearing a bra (the shape of her nipples can be seen). In that same scene, she is attacked by several thugs, and it is implied they are attempting to rape her, but nothing disturbing is shown, and she is saved by Spiderman. She then thanks him with a passionate, long kiss. Quite sensual.

Violence & Gore

A man is stabbed/impaled by a glider's blade. Briefly, his blood spurts out of his wound. Then, blood is seen in his mouth.

A man is cut with a throwing object which causes him to bleed.

A man kills some people by throwing a pumpkin bomb at them which turns them into skeletons.

A lot of fighting is seen throughout this movie between men. They include mild blood.

A man throws another man off his glider which hurts him. Later you see part of his mask cut off, cuts and bruises on his face, and blood in his mouth.

Profanity

At least 6 hells, 5 asses (with another possibly used with "hole"), and 4 craps.

Jameson smokes a cigar in two scenes, while a miscellaneous person on the street also smokes.

Mary Jane's stepfather complains about not getting a beer.

The Green Goblin's appearance and his bizarre mask might be unsettling or scary to some younger kids.

The Green Goblin lobs some grenade-like devices into a building that causes some major explosions and a large stone balcony to begin to fall away from the building (with Mary Jane on it). Peter uses his web to pull people out of the way before parts of the building fall on them. As Spider-Man then fights the Goblin, he tries to save Mary Jane as that balcony eventually falls away from the building and she plummets toward the street.

A very frightening and a jumpy scene where Norman starts off talking to Harry saying "Last night I was-" and then you hear a very loud sound which would jump anyone (regardless of their age).

The scene were Aunt May is praying and then suddenly the Green Goblin breaks into her window is quite jumpy and intense.

"I'm gonna finish her, nice and slow" line might scare some people.

An intense scene is where the Green Goblin tries to kill the children and Mary-Jane (he throws them). He asks Spider-man which should he save while the children on the ride and Mary-Jane are falling to their deaths.

The scene where Norman experiments on himself with the enhancing chemical vapour is frightening. After that he looks mad, and he kills someone.
