Spider-Man (2002)

Question: In the warehouse scene, we see Spidey hanging up-side down on a web. Then he sort of pulls it back into his wrist. How does he do that?

Answer: Because it grows out of his wrist, he has the control to contract it back in if he wants. Note that in the comics Spiderman actually made a sort of gluey string for his web, and in the film it's organic. This is a creative decision on the part of Sam Raimi who said "I think it's more believable that the web is organic rather than a kid making a glue 3M can't make."
