Um.......yeah, it does. Maybe when he pulls back his fingers into his palm it touches/pushes in a glan which allows the web to come out. Makes sense doesn't it? I hated the web-shooters! I like the organics.
Spiderman_RJ, you don't have to convince me : I know, just like you do, that the movie was an honest and faithful adaptation. Too bad some "true fans" don't realize that a comic is not a film and vice versa.
The fact they don't realize this, proves one thing: that they haven't read much books that were translated to the big screen. Everybody knows that changes are always made. Always !! No exceptions !!
If you think you're going to get a movie adaptation following your specific wishes and preferences, you're fooling yourself. Why oh why is this so hard to understand ?
Furthermore, if Stan Lee was crazy about the movie, it's good enough for the rest of the world.

thank you all guys for replying to the thread and still showing your point of view respectifully.
stan lee that says hes a "very cientific writer" didnt even realise what radioactive,gama particles, chemicals and space dust really was when he created spider-man, hulk, daredevil, and fantastic four respectivelly, but at his time no one else knew it , it was still in most part secret or not fully know. nowadays we do have those subjects on our school.
also know is genetics (not much after genome project but, in the 90s it was). i´m sure stan cryed like a baby when he read the concepts, but cheered like us average teens ( yah im 19 but i´ve read a lot of spider books, the old ones too, and lot of novels books). he´d have lover to see spider swinging like he always thoug him to.
I agree with who?-kid, you won't find any movie thats been adapted from a comic/book to be 100% true. Maybe when you actually DO become a true Spider-Man fan and quit calling him Man-Spider you'll realise this. Why does it matter to have the webshooters anyway!?
I guess the faithful would rather that Peter Parker was a teen-age kid from the '60s too, just to keep faithful to the "Bible." Aunt May and Uncle Ben should be watching "My Mother the Car" on TV. While they're at it, in Spiderman 2, they should have Flash Thompson go and fight in the Vietnam War, like in the comic book, then come back with a Vietnamese girlfriend, like in the comic book. Then they should bring back the disco villain from the '70s (I forgot his name) for Spiderman 3, of course during all this time of historical change, Peter Parker has aged only 4-5 years.
Things get updated folks. The comic is over 40 years old, a lot has changed. In the early 60's, radiation and radioactivity was still relatively new to the general public. Very few people even knew what it did. We know better now, it causes cancer. So they updated the 60's pseudoscience with 21st century pseudoscience. No big deal.
For the general audience, it's probably more reasonable for Spiderman to actually have the power to shoot organic webbing than to believe that a 18 year old kid could create some kind of super polymer. Hell if he could, he could have sold it to Oscorp for a couple million easy. Then he wouldn't have needed to go wrestling and probably would have stayed home and Uncle Ben could still be alive.
I notice almost nobody mentions that Spiderman sticks to walls differently than in the comic. In the comic it's supposed to be some kind of molecular bonding where electrons swap and stuff. Try explaining that to an audience without it getting boring. Hell, I thought it was a stupid explanation in the comic. In addition, spiders don't stick to walls with molecular bonding. They stick on with tiny claws and hairs. If you ask me, it's more believable this way.
I think Sam Raimi did a remarkable job. He stayed true to the important aspects of the character and the important aspects of the story. The guys who think the most important part of Spiderman is that he have home made web shooters, don't get Spiderman.
What makes Spiderman special is that he's the only hero a typical comic book reader will be able to identify with. He's not an alien from another planet. He's not a billionaire industrialist. He started off as a high school geek, which I'm sure a lot of readers will identify with. Then he moved on to college, although he eventually dropped out. Then he married. Like the rest of us, he has money problems. He has job problems. He has girlfriend problems. He's human. That's what makes the Spiderman story compelling, not his stupid web shooters.
Hopefully some of this will change the minds of the so-called "true Spider-Man fans".
But I doubt it...
