That look on Spidey's face after that guy says, "Any more bright ideas?" is priceless! It's like "Do YOU wanna come out here and stop this train? Be my guest." I love it!
I love how Tobey completely commited to realistic facial expressions. Nowadays superheroes are expected to look "hawt" in every frame to please the teeny boppers.
Wrong this is a powerful scene that the fact that spiderman is only 17 freaking years old in the movie (ant may told Peter that 2 years ago uncle Ben died) and guess hoe much FORCE, STRENGTH requires for a teenage spiderman to stop this 200 mph running freaking huge train with humans inside it. No marvel movie will ever make better hero or more emotional super hero movie than the original 3 spiderman movies... just re watch spider man 2 and you will see how the actors perform and how sad and amazing this piece of art movie is
A lot of people comment on his facial expressions in this scene. If he looked like he was stopping the train effortlessly, this wouldn't have been nearly as intense and it would have looked REALLY dumb if he had a smug look on his face.
Nono Pearson Right? All I ever heard was Tobey getting praised for his performance and now that people have someone to compare him to, they want to complain. I myself like both the original and the new ones for different reasons.
And I'd probably have a similar look on my face if I were doing the same. If Andrew Garfield was doing, it'd probably look like he was posing for a photoshoot.
Joe Tufano Haha well I actually thought he did great portraying Spidey....not so much as Peter Parker. I liked them both for different reasons. Tobey had that lovable dorky charm and nobility that made you root for him and buy into the idea of him saving people, Andrew got the webslinger's wittiness and cocky attitude down although there were a couple times he came across as more of a douche than a kid having fun.
Uh oh Codyos Hey that's cool man. I was just trying to point out what you were saying about people complaining about his face, and how it's supposed to be that way since he's a normal looking guy.
It was still the 2nd highest grossing superhero film of all time at the time with Spider-Man 1 being the highest (until Spider-Man 3 outgrossed both of them). Plus it was a lot harder for movies to make a Billion Dollars back then.
matsta177 I said AT THE TIME. Was Avengers out in 2004? No. Learn how to fucking read dumbass. Spider-Man was the highest grossing CBM of all time, then Spider-Man 3 broke that record, then The Dark Knight and then Avengers.
God, after all these years, Peter's screams from 1:47 to 2:15 still give me bloodcurdling chills. This was an absolutely well-done scene, and it's a shame that we don't have very many more of these in superhero movies today anymore.
@@dragonkamran That comic was in reference to when he was trapped under the rubble with the pipes dude getting medicine for aunt may. And Tobey was spiderman for around 2-3 years after this. Ya'll need to stop tobeytarding. He was great for his time, but now tom holland is the new spiderman and hes great. Hes a kid & hes learning the ropes. He even beat vulture with his POS suit, with WEBSHOOTERS.
1:06 lol "Any more bright ideas?" "I got a few, YEAH!" Haha that old fart's tone was so condescending xD Can't he see he's trying to save your life? XD
+Julius can you even call that a franchise? I would say if a film or idea has 3 or more it's a franchise (Fast and Furious, X-Men, Spider-Man, Star Wars, Dark Knight, Superman, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Back To The Future, Toy Story, Transformers) the one exception is the MCU films Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Ant-Man, Guardians Of The Galaxy, & The Incredible Hulk as all those films are intertwined. If it's just 2 it's the original and the sequel (Ghostbusters, The Amazing Spider-Man, Tim Burtons Batman, JS's Batman)
+TheApexPlayer I get goosebumps whenever I see it. I don't care what anyone says about Andrew Garfield; Tobey Maquire WAS and always will be Spider-Man
Spider-man does have a super strength. Many people tend to forget about that. He sure doesn't have superman's strength but he's definitely a ton stronger than an average human being.
I found myself gripping my hands watching this clip, even after I've seen them movie over a dozen times! To anyone that ever had anything bad to say about Tobey, look at this scene and try to compare it to anything the new spiderman has, nothing even close.
You've definitely got that right. The sheer determination that the Tobey version of Spidey showed in this scene was remarkable. However, its the reactions of the train passengers afterwards that was truly amazing and touching.
shindean give Andrew a chance. Sure he didn't do anything as near as stopping a fucking train at full speed, but he had his great moments too. I'm thinking about the rescue scene on the bridge where he saves the little boy in the car, it's actually in some way a similar type of action scene, using his great strength to hold on to the car *with only one hand* . It's not as impressive, I give you that, but still, it's got it's own charm.
Andrew Garfield is a good actor...but Tobey Mcquire totally nailed playing Spiderman and Peter Parker, because I can tell he really gave it his all at the end of this scene. Also, as many of you are already saying, I don't think any superhero film accomplished a scene as well as this. I mean, Spiderman swings into battle Doc Ock, where the fight actually looked realistic. I mean, Doc Ock's tentacles actually look like moving metal arms and not a bunch of overboard CGI. If that's not enough, the fight was very satisfying, and clearly demonstrated what both characters are fully capable of along with what they both would do in extremely tight situations. It seems like villains get away too easily in a lot of movies, but Doc Ock gets away by actually using his brain and speeds the train up endangering people. Peter is not given any time to rest and has to use basically all of his powers and strength to stop the train to the point where he passes out. You could say he was lucky to save those people...but come one, he clearly gave everything he could and that's what makes a great scene. This fight lasted long too, and when you add the part where Peter has to save the train, it adds up to about 6 minutes of action...and that's not counting the other two fight scenes in the movie. All the fights in The Amazing Spiderman movies are too short, don't show off everything each character can do, end up too easy, simple, or sometimes stupid. I wanted Electro to be the best Spiderman fight ever, but it ended up being a huge disappointment.
Gotta agree with you on his acting in this scene. Not just the physical exertion and skill to pull off that kind of intensity, I'd be seriously worried about having some kind of aneurysm from the amount of stress that would put on your circulatory system. People can literally die from that kind of straining
Lol when that guy said "got any other bright ideas?" so smug. I was like he lucky I ain't spiderman cuz I woulda tossed his ass outta the train for talkin shit!
I always love how people are like "lol spiderman looks constipated in this scene". I'm sure it's pretty hard to pull off a "hawt" look when you're trying to stop a train with your own strength while it's going at full speed.
This is why Tobey/Sam Raimi's Spiderman shits all over hipster Garfield. He's so fucking clutch in these movies man, not only are his heroic actions smart, but the way they executed them is outstanding. The CGI in this movie stands the test of time, and even in 2016 IT IS STILL the best usage of it in a superhero movie. Superman vs General Zod is the only one that comes even close to it.
Step 1: Criticize "hipsters" Step 2: Say "SO FUCKING CLUTCH MAN" Step 3: Accept award for astounding hypocrisy. Not that I support the new guy as a superior Spider Man, but you're not helping the cause at all
I always loved how in this scene spidey didn't care if people took photos of his face and posted them. I always loved how he was just the hero who put himself last.
A lot of people joke about Tobey Maguire's facial expressions in these movies, but can you imagine having to stop an entire fucking train? You'd be making some pretty wacky facial expressions too.
This is still such a perfect scene. Spider-man has been dubbed The Heart and Soul of New York City, and this scenes captures that so perfectly, willing to put himself to any length, through any pain, to help save people.
Tobey was a way more believable spiderman cause Peter Parker was supposed to be this nerd that everyuone picked on, wasn't particularly handsome, and he gains super powers. The New peter parker is super handsome and smart and cool and I'm supposed to believe that someone like that got bullied in school....just stop it. Tobey was such a good spiderman. Fuck the rest.
SkateDelMar Peter Parker was a good looking nerd that everyone picked on because he was studious and mild-mannered. He gains super powers, and as a result, becomes way more confident and cool. He achieves the affections of multiple beautiful girls and gains multiple friends, including his high school bully Flash Thompson. The Peter Tobey played is too much of an awkward nerd, and the Peter Andrew played was too much of the opposite. We have yet to see a Peter Parker that is has a 100% accurate depiction. If you don't believe me, get your hands on some of the early issues of TASM to see that Peter is not nearly as awkward and nerdy as the (fantastic) Raimi movies make him out to be.
Everyone saying that Andrew played a very sassy and funny spiderman, but Tobey Maguire Spiderman is strong and stays strong for his city and is what we expect out of a superhero. Superheroes are strong for their cities and save their cities from crime and them for falling like Batman had to be for his city.
Tobey was good and all triologies are great, but the two amazing spiderman movies are great two, just because you said fuck the rest doesnt make them suck.
true and while I think Andrew Garfield is better than Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man, there's no denying how much energy and strength Tobey used to stop the train
Exactly. I really don't understand complaints about cheese anyway. Nothing wrong with cheese. Look at the source material -- they're based on comic books.
mehadi91kochotmail I honestly think the little kid dressing up as spider man and standing up to Rhino in TASM2 is 100000x more Cheesier than this Scene.
Even as a 5 year old this scene gave me chills. 12 years later and i still get those same chills. best heroic/ action scene in a super hero movie in my recent memory.
This is phenomenal, truly a great moment in Hero movie history, he's having a conversation with the old man, while the trains still chucking to it's destruction. At the same time he's not tripping that his MASK IS OFF!! xD Truly demonstrates how dire situations can make certain things seem small.
I love how everyone promises not to tell, and how they all seem really shocked by how young he is, and then they all stand between him and the Doc, can you beat the loyalty we have for our heroes
+Jason Robledo It would have been awesome. I was thinking that a teenage Spiderman would be true to the plot; but if a 50 year old can play Ironman, then a 40 year old is fine as Spiderman. :)
+AuroraS 92 Its too bad he can't apply since he became a producer and a father. Although if a movie where a future Spiderman shows up , then Maguire would be perfect for that role.
+AuroraS 92 A teenage Spiderman isn't true to the plot. Teenage Spiderman would NOT get involved in Civil War, and if he did, he'd be on Cap's side from the start since he wouldn't want to reveal his identity. It actually would have been better if they brought Tobey back, since he would be married to Mary Jane by then and teach at Midtown.
Spider-Man will ALWAYS top my list of favorite superheroes. Even with Batman as second best. It's just like how Stan Lee, Sam Raimi, and many others have described it. He's believable, realistic, troubled, all the qualities of a superhero that's needed. He will always be my first choice.
I love this scene because Spider-Man had to be pushed to his limit to stop that train. Hulk, Iron Man and Thor would have just done so with ease, but Spidey had to actually think a little and go to his limit. He's one of the most balanced Super heroes lol
And what I love about it is that he was totally willing to do it, despite the risk of his own body being torn in half. This scene was the point in the movie when you realize what makes Peter Parker/Spider-Man a true hero.
fuck you man you know spiderman was so close in being ripped apart? also let's not forget that here Peter Parker was spiderman for 2 years that means here he is 17 years old!!!! so stfu
True but that's the beauty of him not having the black suit, it makes this scene look a lot more epic since he is doing everything he can with the power he already has.
I doubt he would have tried to stop the train in the black suit. The control in the suit would have made him go after Dr octopus rather than stop the train
This is my favorite scene in all of the recent 'super heroes' movies. Even Man of Steel had nothing on this. I just hope we get more creative people on future super hero movies.
The scene in Man of Steel where Clark is holding up the oil rig actually reminded me of this. One thing that's missing from most superhero movies that movies like Man of Steel and the original Spiderman trilogy did well was the sheer rage and desperation of their situations.
I wouldn't count it in 'recent super hero movies'. The new wave of super-hero films started with Batman Begins. I'd say this is a part of the previous era.
I disagree actually. I think the wave of new super hero movies started with X-Men. Because RIGHT after that we got Spider-Man and then Batman, and the Avengers, etc.
Batman doesn't have powers, remember? It's not like he can stand in front of the train, shoot his grappling hooks to the side of a building and use that to help him stop a train with his bare hands.
Nope, it's just that some people prefer one over the other. They call it opinion. You're claiming people think it's crazy that some guys like both movies, but at the same time you're saying it's crazy to prefer one over the other.
As cheesy and over the top this whole scene was, the way the train-goers saved Spidey and stood up for him was incredibly heart warming. Truly a movie about heroes.
I really love the name of the video "Peter stops the train" because Spiderman is the one with the powers, but the one with the willpower and the one with the determination is Peter
Absolutely one of the best scenes in a superhero movie of an actor showing such raw emotion even though they didnt get everything right with the spiderman movies this scene other than the old fart made me truly admire spiderman and just how real of a person he was. Spidey is my boi!
That's Spiderman....The Best HERO that gives his life for a few people...I love him I wish he existed...but the world does not deserve this hero since everyone today is self centered and selfish
I really love that the original trilogy showed how much Spider-Man means to the people of NYC. Scenes like this that we don't see in the MCU. See how in this scene these innocent bystanders are willing to protect Spidey from Doc Ock? This goes to show that they have sympathy for him and that's really emotional.
This film shocased Spideys spider strength on par with the comics in very dramatic fashion.Sam Raimi did an excellent job as did Tobey.Tobey was the classic Peter Parker/ Spiderman
Not funny, spider-man is trying not to get his arms ripped off. This is what I like about spider-man is that he may not be as strong as superman, but he does try his best to save the people in the subway.
Tobey's face stopping the train looks realistic to be honest. Like he's trying to stop the train at full force so he needs all the strength. I kinda hate when people when they made fun of his face. Why not for them to lift heavy objects and better to see their face looking at the mirror while doing so?
This scene is a perfect demonstration of what makes Spiderman so awesome. For all of his flaws and weaknesses, for all the personal heartache he endures, at the end of the day he'll lay his body and his life on the line for the innocent and he'll fight for them until his dying breath. While others heroes may be stronger or faster, Spiderman has all that any hero really needs: heart, perserverance, and a hell of a lot of courage - and he's got 'em in spades. Oh and webs too. Lots of webs.
0:48 Consider that for a second: he stuck his fully streched leg in the tracks while moving at around 90 mph for a distance of about 200 yards, braking about 300 wooden planks that are about 1ft by 2in. And all he gets is a minor pain that makes him just hold his knee for a moment. Any normal person's leg would've crumpled like paper. Just to have an idea of his actual strength.
Yeah. I'm sure his trail of thoughts are something like : Yeah old man. Plenty of ideas. First of them would be to get the fuck off this train and let you handle it on your own.
My favorite movie is spider-man 2 because it really develops the character of spider man showing if he want to be spider man or not. Plus the thing with Harry
This scene, of course, is based on the opening of Amazing Spider-Man #33 where Spider-Man has to lift a train to save himself and Aunt May. Stan Lee says it's one of the most iconic comic book moments of all time.
The Amazing Spidde-Man put too much focus on Gwen rather than Parker being Spider-man himself, there's only minimal "great power comes great responsibility" in ASM. However, Tobey's Spider-Man offers the scene to fulfill Spider-Man's mantle, the train scene is so beautiful, thats why the Spider-Man is better than the Amazing Spider-Man
What a workout. Seriously, this is what makes Spider-Man such a great superhero. He is very weak compared to the rest of the superheroes in the Marvel universe but he never hesitates in putting his life on the line to save others. Iron Man could stop the train in 10 seconds but for Peter its extremely difficult. Still, he does it anyway. Basically, he's a great person.

Tobey is a really good actor, absolutely nailed the role Sam Raimi, the god himself had in mind.

You can pretty much watch the entire movie through all the small clips on youtube
ever heard of Torrents?
That's the impression I have
@@jhinabloomingflower807 Ever heard of Blu-ray?
@@jhinabloomingflower807, or PPV?
You can also do the same with Spiderman 3. Spiderman 1 misses a few clips.
Interesting how he uses trial and error in this situation. Everything he's doing he had to think of within a matter of seconds.
***** lol nothing is real with super heroe comics all its a fantasy and unrealistic but I love marvel and spiderman ;) :D
+FuNnn RevVviewSss Can't say nothing is real. Somethings definitely pull from realistic experience s for comics.
TheNw1218 Now in Spider-Man Homecoming he has a super suit tell him what to do...
The Avatar which makes that Spider man suck. He literally sucks Stark’s dick for three movies.
2:47 is such a powerful shot. It shows that the people need spiderman just as much as spiderman needs the people.
+leo50perez For real, I loved that so damn much. Humans can be such good people when we're not doing stupid sht..
that is like the opposite how the world treats superman
That One Hero well maybe if they wrote him like superman is supposed to be written he'd be treated differently.
+mrm64 humans are the only people..lol
Wrong this is a powerful scene that the fact that spiderman is only 17 freaking years old in the movie (ant may told Peter that 2 years ago uncle Ben died) and guess hoe much FORCE, STRENGTH requires for a teenage spiderman to stop this 200 mph running freaking huge train with humans inside it. No marvel movie will ever make better hero or more emotional super hero movie than the original 3 spiderman movies... just re watch spider man 2 and you will see how the actors perform and how sad and amazing this piece of art movie is

The greatest scene in superhero movie history.
absolutely.
True!
the grit he shows is unbelievable
I loved this scene
Talk about strength, that scene when the suit starts to rip from his biceps was so epic,, just shows how strong he was
Yeah, the way he tried to stop the train was MASSIVE!!!! Even if it took a lot of webs possible to do it!
Yet that kid from Homecoming has trouble lifting a piece of concrete.

Yes, he stopped a plane from crashing on a runway.
still impressive how he tried to stop the train using his feet without a fracture.
Jomar Beran like the guy said, he's got super strength (/durability). Not that impressive if you ask me.............
But damn does it look painful.

Tobey was a way more believable spiderman cause Peter Parker was supposed to be this nerd that everyuone picked on, wasn't particularly handsome, and he gains super powers. The New peter parker is super handsome and smart and cool and I'm supposed to believe that someone like that got bullied in school....just stop it. Tobey was such a good spiderman. Fuck the rest.
SkateDelMar Peter Parker was a good looking nerd that everyone picked on because he was studious and mild-mannered. He gains super powers, and as a result, becomes way more confident and cool. He achieves the affections of multiple beautiful girls and gains multiple friends, including his high school bully Flash Thompson. The Peter Tobey played is too much of an awkward nerd, and the Peter Andrew played was too much of the opposite.
We have yet to see a Peter Parker that is has a 100% accurate depiction. If you don't believe me, get your hands on some of the early issues of TASM to see that Peter is not nearly as awkward and nerdy as the (fantastic) Raimi movies make him out to be.
Everyone saying that Andrew played a very sassy and funny spiderman, but Tobey Maguire Spiderman is strong and stays strong for his city and is what we expect out of a superhero. Superheroes are strong for their cities and save their cities from crime and them for falling like Batman had to be for his city.
Tobey was a phenomenal Peter Parker while Andrew was a great Spider-Man. Hopefully Tom Holland captures both perfectly
Tobey was good and all triologies are great, but the two amazing spiderman movies are great two, just because you said fuck the rest doesnt make them suck.
zeroxXxguilty Didn't say they sucked did I. I said this was more believable. Fuck the rest means like in a jokingly way fuck everyone who disagrees.
1:48 me after Tacobell for lunch and Indian for dinner.
+Nathan Lang XD
You sir are Brilliant!
When you bust a nut, but she keeps sucking.....
+Dman 😂😂😂😂
Tobey Maguire was stronger in this scene than Andrew Garfield was in all of The Amazing Spider-Man,
true and while I think Andrew Garfield is better than Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man, there's no denying how much energy and strength Tobey used to stop the train
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!
2:07
Hahahaha!!!
Lmao
😂😂😂 that picture tho!!
That Guy BE GLAD I WASN'T DRINKING WATER, lmao i never laughed this hard!
That Guy me when im constipated! 😂😂😂
The "amazing" spiderman cant hold a candle to this spiderman.. cheesy moments but uber heroic moments like this make up for it in 10 folds
This trilogy is the best
Exactly. I really don't understand complaints about cheese anyway. Nothing wrong with cheese. Look at the source material -- they're based on comic books.
Tinker B
Yes... good first movie, and terrific second movie... but theres no spider-man, just raimi-man
mehadi91kochotmail I honestly think the little kid dressing up as spider man and standing up to Rhino in TASM2 is 100000x more Cheesier than this Scene.
Even as a 5 year old this scene gave me chills. 12 years later and i still get those same chills. best heroic/ action scene in a super hero movie in my recent memory.
same man, I was 4 when this came out and it's pretty much my fav scene from any spider man movie ever
Probably the most powerful scene in all of superhero movies.
This is phenomenal, truly a great moment in Hero movie history, he's having a conversation with the old man, while the trains still chucking to it's destruction. At the same time he's not tripping that his MASK IS OFF!! xD
Truly demonstrates how dire situations can make certain things seem small.
After so many years I finally decided to re-watch this movie today. Man, I enjoyed it so much, I think this is the best fight scene ever.
best action scene to date from a Marvel film
Now that's the real amazing Spider-Man.
anyone here from the Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer?
wizzzer1337 I'm here
I love how everyone promises not to tell, and how they all seem really shocked by how young he is, and then they all stand between him and the Doc, can you beat the loyalty we have for our heroes
If Tobey Maguire returned as Spiderman in Captain America : Civil War , hed make it as chilling and memorable as this .
+Jason Robledo It would have been awesome. I was thinking that a teenage Spiderman would be true to the plot; but if a 50 year old can play Ironman, then a 40 year old is fine as Spiderman. :)
+AuroraS 92 Its too bad he can't apply since he became a producer and a father. Although if a movie where a future Spiderman shows up , then Maguire would be perfect for that role.
+AuroraS 92 A teenage Spiderman isn't true to the plot. Teenage Spiderman would NOT get involved in Civil War, and if he did, he'd be on Cap's side from the start since he wouldn't want to reveal his identity. It actually would have been better if they brought Tobey back, since he would be married to Mary Jane by then and teach at Midtown.
Spider-Man will ALWAYS top my list of favorite superheroes. Even with Batman as second best. It's just like how Stan Lee, Sam Raimi, and many others have described it. He's believable, realistic, troubled, all the qualities of a superhero that's needed. He will always be my first choice.
This is why Hulk and Spiderman my favorite marvel characters and it will never change
They just don't make superhero movies like these any more
I love this scene because Spider-Man had to be pushed to his limit to stop that train. Hulk, Iron Man and Thor would have just done so with ease, but Spidey had to actually think a little and go to his limit. He's one of the most balanced Super heroes lol
And what I love about it is that he was totally willing to do it, despite the risk of his own body being torn in half. This scene was the point in the movie when you realize what makes Peter Parker/Spider-Man a true hero.
2:32 When I'm taking a shit.
Yeah you've gotta be hella constipated
fuck you man you know spiderman was so close in being ripped apart? also let's not forget that here Peter Parker was spiderman for 2 years that means here he is 17 years old!!!! so stfu
Triggered much? Lol
ZanKronKa fuck you :)
Imagine if he had the black suit he would of stopped the train earlier.
True but that's the beauty of him not having the black suit, it makes this scene look a lot more epic since he is doing everything he can with the power he already has.
Jarol Vazquez true
I doubt he would have tried to stop the train in the black suit. The control in the suit would have made him go after Dr octopus rather than stop the train
Nicole Bonnett na that would be unfair i dont think he would ditch the train that is just crossing spidey rules no matter what suit he wears.
True and maybe he might have stopped Dr octopus earlier and not had to have stopped the train
In my opinion , SPIDERMAN 2 is better than all MARVEL MOVIES , Including the MCU
This is my favorite scene in all of the recent 'super heroes' movies. Even Man of Steel had nothing on this. I just hope we get more creative people on future super hero movies.
The scene in Man of Steel where Clark is holding up the oil rig actually reminded me of this. One thing that's missing from most superhero movies that movies like Man of Steel and the original Spiderman trilogy did well was the sheer rage and desperation of their situations.
I wouldn't count it in 'recent super hero movies'.
The new wave of super-hero films started with Batman Begins.
I'd say this is a part of the previous era.
I disagree actually. I think the wave of new super hero movies started with X-Men. Because RIGHT after that we got Spider-Man and then Batman, and the Avengers, etc.
This is how a true hero should save lives. Batman would of just whipped out his convenient Bat-stop-the-train device. Lame.
true but every hero is shit in the hands of the wrong writers.
Batman doesn't have powers, remember? It's not like he can stand in front of the train, shoot his grappling hooks to the side of a building and use that to help him stop a train with his bare hands.
Are people aware that it's legal to love this Spider-man AND the new one? Guess not
Apparently, if you like both movies you are crazy (Though i'm already crazy, so I openly say I enjoyed both movies).
Same here man!
exactly!!! sheesh stupid fanboys worshipping this trilogy like it's a cult LOL!!!
Delon Luu dude it's ridiculous
Nope, it's just that some people prefer one over the other. They call it opinion. You're claiming people think it's crazy that some guys like both movies, but at the same time you're saying it's crazy to prefer one over the other.
Best superhero moment in history of film for superheroes!! Love this scene!!!!
Hi ! ✨
1:57 "how was your day spidey?"
"Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine"
As cheesy and over the top this whole scene was, the way the train-goers saved Spidey and stood up for him was incredibly heart warming. Truly a movie about heroes.
This Spider-Man didn’t need Iron Man’s help to save lives.
Dude was 20 years old lmao
Because I’m sure Tom Cruise’s Iron Man variant in this universe was watching this unfold ready to intervene.
I love Spiderman so much 😍 I could watch these movies continuously and never get tired.
SpiderMan proves his greatness power is his heart!
Rewatching this scene made me cry!!!
I really love the name of the video "Peter stops the train" because Spiderman is the one with the powers, but the one with the willpower and the one with the determination is Peter
God, this scene alone is better than the TASM-movies.
Absolutely one of the best scenes in a superhero movie of an actor showing such raw emotion even though they didnt get everything right with the spiderman movies this scene other than the old fart made me truly admire spiderman and just how real of a person he was. Spidey is my boi!
hunterx335 ur gay
That's Spiderman....The Best HERO that gives his life for a few people...I love him I wish he existed...but the world does not deserve this hero since everyone today is self centered and selfish
Best and most LOVED superheroe from Comics
“You have a train to catch!” 👋😎😂
This is what makes the original Spiderman much better, fun to watch scenes like this
When people say Homecoming is better then these movies I send them this scene they shutup pretty quick
HE MAKES THE BEST FACES!
I really love that the original trilogy showed how much Spider-Man means to the people of NYC. Scenes like this that we don't see in the MCU. See how in this scene these innocent bystanders are willing to protect Spidey from Doc Ock? This goes to show that they have sympathy for him and that's really emotional.
This film shocased Spideys spider strength on par with the comics in very dramatic fashion.Sam Raimi did an excellent job as did Tobey.Tobey was the classic Peter Parker/ Spiderman
the pain. his screeam. but he stopped the train. nice one spidey
This scene never gets old
This movie is epic. It's a shame that people have forgotten it these days, it was one of the big big comic book movies done right.
We all remember it !
Not funny, spider-man is trying not to get his arms ripped off. This is what I like about spider-man is that he may not be as strong as superman, but he does try his best to save the people in the subway.
Tobey's face stopping the train looks realistic to be honest. Like he's trying to stop the train at full force so he needs all the strength. I kinda hate when people when they made fun of his face. Why not for them to lift heavy objects and better to see their face looking at the mirror while doing so?
Hopefully for the Spider-Man Homecoming film, Tom Holland takes notes and watches Spider-Man 2 for inspiration
Tinks in it, I know the warehouse where they filmed the lair.
tom holland did a similar scene, check the trailer
He pulled the Ferry lol XD
This scene is a perfect demonstration of what makes Spiderman so awesome. For all of his flaws and weaknesses, for all the personal heartache he endures, at the end of the day he'll lay his body and his life on the line for the innocent and he'll fight for them until his dying breath.
While others heroes may be stronger or faster, Spiderman has all that any hero really needs: heart, perserverance, and a hell of a lot of courage - and he's got 'em in spades.
Oh and webs too. Lots of webs.
Hi !
0:48 Consider that for a second: he stuck his fully streched leg in the tracks while moving at around 90 mph for a distance of about 200 yards, braking about 300 wooden planks that are about 1ft by 2in. And all he gets is a minor pain that makes him just hold his knee for a moment. Any normal person's leg would've crumpled like paper. Just to have an idea of his actual strength.
I always got chills in this part its too freacking awesome the screams, the music is very important, too epic.
"We won't tell nobody."
*Peter Parker returns to kill everyone aboard the train*
I hope Tom screams when he holds the boat together, just like Tobey did when he held the train.
2:44
Tearing up hard right now, man. The humanity of that scene just gets to me.
11 freaking years !
the look he gives that old man at 1:10 is hilarious!!!!LMFAO
Yeah. I'm sure his trail of thoughts are something like : Yeah old man. Plenty of ideas. First of them would be to get the fuck off this train and let you handle it on your own.
fucking love this scene
The best scene of the best spiderman movies!!!
his face says it all!
My favorite movie is spider-man 2 because it really develops the character of spider man showing if he want to be spider man or not. Plus the thing with Harry
Yea will all just stand at the front of the train just to make him work little harder lol
But also save him from his fall ;)
Tobey's Peter always showed more poise in the action scenes.
While this seen is indeed awesome, it's also hilarious because Peter's face gives off the impression that he's turning into a werewolf.
This scene, of course, is based on the opening of Amazing Spider-Man #33 where Spider-Man has to lift a train to save himself and Aunt May. Stan Lee says it's one of the most iconic comic book moments of all time.
The Amazing Spidde-Man put too much focus on Gwen rather than Parker being Spider-man himself, there's only minimal "great power comes great responsibility" in ASM. However, Tobey's Spider-Man offers the scene to fulfill Spider-Man's mantle, the train scene is so beautiful, thats why the Spider-Man is better than the Amazing Spider-Man
They should of had him as Gokus back up screamer
Nicholas Blair
HAHAHAHA ingenious comment man
SPIDEY !!!
Captain America cant even catch a train
What a workout.
Seriously, this is what makes Spider-Man such a great superhero. He is very weak compared to the rest of the superheroes in the Marvel universe but he never hesitates in putting his life on the line to save others. Iron Man could stop the train in 10 seconds but for Peter its extremely difficult. Still, he does it anyway. Basically, he's a great person.
Is he alive ?!
