* [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Admit it, you thought]] the Green Goblin interrupting Aunt May's prayer by ''crashing into her house'' was awesome.
* In the second movie, the ''entire'' train sequence. And just about anything involving Doctor Octopus.
* Doctor Octopus gets his own crowning moment by responding to the civilians. Long story short, the civilians say "If you want to get to him, you'll have to go through me." Ock simply replies "Very well." Then he simply holds them out of the way with his arms.
* It's not Spidey saving an entire trainload of people from horrible death (who then save him). It's not the civilians (later) standing up to Doc Ock (though both are awesome). Then Peter realizes his mask got lost and has a little moment of panic and the two kids say 'We won't tell nobody'. The others agree.
** Made more awesome by that one guys shocked reaction, realising the sort of person who routinely risks his life to save them.
--> '''Passenger''': He's... just a ''kid!'' No older than my son!
* The quality of the third movie [[LoveItOrHateIt depends according to who you ask]], but you have to love the fight at the end (Spider-Man and Harry vs. Venom and Sandman). And the scene when the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXOa5bWFRKw Sandman is "born"]].
* Also, Venom [[spoiler: killing Harry.]] This version of Venom may have not been in the movie that long, but he managed to deal a blow to his nemesis harsher than any other incarnation of the character has.
* In the first movie, the scene where Peter catches Mary Jane's lunch is a Moment of Awesome...for Tobey Macguire. The scene was done without special effects or CGI; the only "doctoring" is that the lunch tray was attached to Tobey's hand, meaning that what we see are ''his'' reflexes and balance, not Spider-Man's.
* "Shame on you." You just know Doc Ock's in for it when Aunt May shows disgust towards underhanded sneak attacks...in more ways than one. The film version of Aunt May's Moment of Awesome was smacking Doc Ock upside the head with her umbrella handle, temporarily distracting him while both are at least two dozen stories high (300 feet up at least). She had the theater crowd cheering.
* Mary Jane throwing a cement brick at Venom in the third movie; chiefly awesome because FINALLY she gets to to take a shot at her kidnapper and stop being a NeutralFemale DamselScrappy.
** Pretty much all of the final battle, though it started with Spider-Man finally back for real. From Spider-Man and Venom's aerial battle, Harry's [[BigDamnHeroes smashing Venom through a wall and blowing up Sandman's giant sand-face]], and Peter using sound to hurt the symbiote, the entire battle was just generally awesome.
* HOLY SHIT, Peter THROWING A BOMB BACK IN HARRY'S FACE in Spider-Man 3 was AMAZING. Even though Peter was clearly being a heel at the moment, but Harry had been such a jerkass for all three films towards his supposed best friend, you honestly couldn't help but feel he kind of deserved that one.. And what about the part where he rams Sandman's face into a goddamn train? Again MoralDissonance, but come on, that was badass.
* The climax of the first movie is simultaneously a Moment of Awesome ''and'' SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}. The Goblin had previously stated that the people of New York would turn on Spider-Man eventually, and by this point of the movie, it appears to be true. However, as Spider-Man is dangling in the air, desperately trying to keep a cable car full of children from falling to their deaths while the Goblin attacks him, who should come to his rescue, but the ordinary people of the city. The fact alone that they are proving that RousseauWasRight and the Goblin was wrong makes it a Moment of Awesome, but what they shout at the Goblin as they pelt him with garbage and debris is what really sells it:
--> '''Bystander 1''': Leave Spider-Man alone! You gonna pick on a guy just trying to save a bunch of kids?
--> '''Bystander 2''': Oh yeah, I've got something for your ass! You mess with Spidey, you mess with New York!
--> '''Bystander 1''': You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!
** Incidentally, this scene was added after 9/11. It shows.
* Four words: "Go get 'em, tiger."
* [[RedemptionEqualsDeath "I WILL NOT DIE A MONSTER!"]]
* Peter's EurekaMoment & defeat of Venom.
* J. Jonah Jameson in the first movie lying to the Goblin to protect Parker. [[spoiler: Just after Parker sells the photos the Goblin attacks and ask who takes the photos "I don't know who he is, his stuff comes in the mail!" The Goblin continues to strangle him and he yet AGAIN says "Honestly, I don't know who he is!" It's a definite PetTheDog / JerkWithAHeartOfGold moment for Jameson as well. On top of that, Peter is staring at the scene through the glass. Jameson doesn't even hint that it's him.]]
