That’s what makes his character just so *good* in this. He actually makes the commitment, and only abandons it when his inner conflict brings him to a meaningful critical point, unlike Amazing Spider-Man where he just seems to forget about it after making a promise.
For me, Peter & MJ are similar to Clark & Lois. I love both couples so much. Yes, Clark and Peter have resposabilties, but Lois & MJ can be their compagnions ❤️
Some will say The Dark Knight Some will say Avengers Endgame But let us not forget that Spiderman 2 was the pinnacle of superhero movies for years to come and still holds up to this day
Definitely, I've watched this movie so many times growing up. The push/pull between losing ones power, finding their identity and coming back. It was fantastic, my favorite comeback story even compared to the other movies you had mentioned on the list. I think there's a lot of exaggeration played out in those movies whereas this one didn't have all that, came very naturally. I think it may have to do with the times changing and how directors put a lot of effects on their scenes, I don't like it as much.
The Dark Knight is the pinnacle of Superhero movies, because of its realism and the fact that it treats itself like a film rather than a superhero movie, portrayed by a classic villain with multiple ocsars.
@@sudeshnamukhopadhyay5214 it is realistic, especially compared to other Superhero movies, and they used as little CGI as they possibly could too, even the Truck flip scene was done with a real truck flip. The Dark Knight is actually slightly better than Batman Begins, Heath Ledger's performance, puts it over it. The Dark Knight will always be the number 1 superhero movie until something else passes it. Spiderman 2 is probably the 2nd or 3rd best superhero movie, but it's not the first. It may be to some, but the general audience thinks that The Dark Knight is still number 1, not to mention that The Dark Knight beats Spiderman 2 in almost all statistical categories, it wasn't beaten in box office until Avengers End Game
That look on her face as it fades to black. She knows in her heart she just chose the hardest path for her life. She doesn’t regret the choice, but she’s aware of the consequences.
It's quite sad considering in another universe, Gwen Stacy made that same choice but paid for it with her own life. Ultimately, both Peters respected the choices of the loves of their lives. They weren't wrong but for Peter-Three it's just tragic.
Isn't that the very definition of selfless love? Isn't it about doing what's best for someone else, even if it means you might suffer in the process? MJ knew that at this point, Peter had spent the past two years giving all he had every day, to save and protect complete strangers who would never totally understand his sacrifice. That's why her words to him strike so close to home - "Isn't it about time somebody saved your life?" Neither of them are asking for anything more than what so many around them already have. They want to be loved, trusted, embraced, and fully understood. You can't get much closer than that.
+ArtofDestiny Yeah great bit. They did the same thing in Suite Life: Maddie FINALLY kisses Zack and tells him "now go get em tiger." And then she disappears forever from the show which sucked.
I remember seeing this movie with a bunch of coworkers and friends and literally waiting the entire movie for MJ's signature line and being so happy it was said.
+Yoru Foxy I dunno. Judging from people's reactions to Civil War, it's safe to say Tom Holland might be the best Spiderman so far, and Homecoming is on the way, sooo...
Did you catch MJ's expression at the end? There was deep sadness. She knows that the choice she's making will be an unsure difficult path, and possibly a very dangerous one. She gave up love, security, a 'posh' life, but she wasn't 'in love' with her fiance. She had tried to get away from the insecurity that was always part of her childhood. Now she was accepting that insecurity would always be part of it because as she said to Peter, "I can't live without you." A kiss, then he's out the window and she on what would have been her wedding day, alone.
Expression could be resolve too. Cool to see your BF fly out the window but he’s always heading into danger. Nothing to keep smiling about. Also she did just ditch a uber successful and decent guy at the altar… busy day for her.
The Komyeta it’s basically fish eggs that go on top of fancy entree’s. They are an expensive luxury. He’s saying don’t open it, probably in hopes of getting a refund. All the more funny when you take into account J Jonahs business driven personality, and that it was his first thought after realizing his own son got left at the altar.
The line “Isn’t about time somebody saved your life?” always brings tears to my eyes. That one question perfectly captures this whole movie, Peter putting others before him, putting his duty as Spider-Man before his normal life. Saving others’ lives while his is going down the drain. Finally, in the end, somebody finally saves his.
A romantic relationship between a superhero dedicated to fighting dangerous and evil beings and a normal human girl can never, ever work. Doomed to tragedy sooner rather than later. She should have married Chad-boy.
@@akshaynatu6568 What if the superhero and the normal girl had a long distance relationship or something? I think that would make it a little harder for the bad guys to get to the hero’s partner if they’re somewhere far away. It’s one of the reasons why I think Peter and Gwen in TASAM 2 should have considered doing something like that. I don’t understand why Gwen going to another country was treated like it was gonna be a final goodbye when long distance relationships are a thing.
And that’s exactly what good art does it makes you feel something and this movie makes me feel so many emotions at ones. This entire movie is just a miracle in cinema history.
@@kilso9357 As a romantic whose whole life has been emotional and financial shortcomings, this ending gives me hope. And makes me smile in a way not many things do. Spot on with your comment.
Anybody else get chills when Tobey yells "Woo-hoo!" when he swings as Spider-Man? There's something so special about it. It sets him apart from the other Spideys.
This is an ending that makes this a good MOVIE rather than just a good super-hero movie. Peter is prepared for a life of sacrifice, and to walk it alone. There have been many of us who have relegated ourselves to such a position, thinking we had to do it and no one else could help. But then someone comes along that cares more about you than even you do. When MJ says, "Isn't it about time someone saved YOUR life?" it throws Peter a lifeline he never thought he'd have and when she says, "Go get 'em, Tiger..." he knows that she's got his back. That's good story, good message, and good movie.
They developed Peter Parker so well in this movie. When him and MJ got together at the end, it felt like seeing my best friend getting the girl he likes. I clap and cheer every time I see the end of this film.
Then you remember she is being a bitch by leaving Jameson at their wedding probably embarrassed, she could have cancelled their wedding prior to the wedding day
I’ll never understand the hate Kristen Dunst seems to get for this role. She brought so much emotional depth to a character that could be bland in another actresses hands.
Only now as an adult do I feel like I finally get the message this ending was basically saying. That yeah life is tough, but ya know what? You don’t have to face it alone.
...as John's biggest day of his life was ruined by some hoe who betrayed her and ran away for some spider dick. Face it. You've never really matured since you've never considered putting this scene into other perspectives.
Fokkusu Haundo I understand that what MJ did to him was pretty shitty so there. And besides, are you even considering my perspective here? How can you say with any degree of certainty to a total stranger that I have never considered putting this scene into other perspectives? You seeing the irony here?
If we are talking about real life lessons here, I have to agree with the first guy that responded to your comment. MJ running from her wedding in a wedding dress all gleeful and in slomo just sours the whole lesson of "you don't have to face life alone" thing, that was childish and fickle as fuck on her part leaving her fiance at the altar at the last minute. even as a kid I was like "ummm...ok so now she decides she wants to be with him" if anything it just makes you wonder if she'll even sty with him. I know it was done for dramatic effect in the movie but MJ is a total bitch for doing that, it doesn't age well and definitely doesn't give me a "life lesson" about anything.
would've been so easy to end on the triumphant shot of spider-man swinging away, but raimi makes the audacious, character driven choice to end on Mary Jane's bittersweet expression as she enters an uncertain future with the man she loves. they just don't make em like this anymore; real movies, full blooded, alive, meaningful.
Not only that but the soundtrack that was triumphant until the final shot with MJ gets changed right on the last note for a more sudden turn to a dark theme.
marlin games Doesnt mean hes a good spiderman He may have the best performance as spiderman But the writers completely misunderstood his character. And like i said hes not even spiderman. Hes more like ironman jr
Saw this in the theater a few weeks ago with my friend. Couldn't believe it but people were laughing, cheering, clapping. The film still holds up over 20 years later, it stands the test of time and still holds up. Way better than any marvel movie released these days and one of the best if not the best superhero movie of all time.
@@trekwars67 I genuinely hope that Tobey's Spider-Man has streaks of gray in his hair or something like that in No Way Home to show that he's the oldest of the three Spider-Mans and that quite a bit of time has passed in his universe. I'd also like it if Tobey's Spider-Man is a total boomer in No Way Home who's gotten married to Mary Jane and had children with her and has retired from being Spider-Man in his universe but reluctantly decides to become Spider-Man again in No Way Home and says things in No Way Home like "I'm getting too old for this".
I always loved how she put on a brave face for him, to support him and then her face and the end is full of worry and fear for her man, and also understanding that his job as Spider-Man will always take priority.
Yeah. I personally always saw MJ’s arc in this movie as her learning to accept that Peter’s Spider Man duties are always gonna come first, no matter how much he wants to be with her. Wouldn’t you agree.
In my opinion the reason this is the best superhero film and one of my favorite movies of all time is that it captures the core of Spiderman's appeal. A normal teenage nerd who accidentally acquired these great powers and uses them, not in the way a spoiled brat or a teenage bully would use them. He was the unpopular kid who was picked on in school, but he had the courage and character to help people like him and those in his community. It was the fantasy a lot of kids wished for themselves, to be appreciated for doing the right thing.
"Isn't it about time someone saved your life?" That's what love is. You saving them and they save you. Not because you have to but because you want to. A lesson everyone should know, and a feeling everyone should have.

No superhero film has been able to top this one for its ability to relate. It’s humble. Small. And amazing. Probably only Logan had the same surreal feelings and heart tugs. Spider-Man 2 is a story about a boy growing up. Superb. The best super hero film ever.
As a teen, this ending did nothing for me. As a man, it brought tears to my eyes. That’s the most beautiful words ever written in a super here movie. Wow, what a great movie and touching ending.
Fun fact: This guy looking at MJ at 1:39 is Frank Castle, the Punisher. Thomas Jane was supposed to be brought in for this cameo but they got this lookalike instead, who was also Jane's stunt double as the Punisher, due to Sony not having the Punisher's film rights.
There are lots of cool stuffs happened in The Dark Knight Trilogy but there is no emotional stakes, you don't really care about any characters. But here in Spider-Man 2, it makes you care and feel.
It’s such a nice touch how it ends on that foreboding shot of Mary-Jane. Every other Spider-Man ends with him swinging, but how this film ends seems to give so much depth and respect to the story.
Yeah. Her face conveys concern for her man's safety and the knowledge that this is a job that will always take priority for him and that they're both taking a big chance with their relationship.
For anyone who thinks she only likes him for being spiderman: she confessed that she loved Peter before she even knew who he was. The reason she did what she did in his scene is because she finally realized why he was never there for her and why he did all those things like missing her shows, etc. before, MJ figured it's because he didn't care, but now she knows
@@Redpotato2 just to pacify your clearly underdeveloped mind, I called him an idiot because Pete and MJ's fiancee were not "best friends." I don't care if he called her a whore, incel. Now go bitch somewhere else.
such a bittersweet ending because you can see her acknowledging she will never have 100% of him. she won't live the life of her dreams and will constantly be worried about him. maybe even lonely
The lighting and music in that final scene in Peter's apartment is just...delicious. Like idk how to explain it, but the sheer warmth and tenderness in that scene is almost unmatched for a superhero movie.
It's that summer night lighting. Reminds you of happy days and good times. Man, I love the MCU, but none of its movies hold a candle to this masterpiece.
1:32 One of the most beautiful scenes in any film, period. The look on Mary Jane’s face so powerfully conveys pure happiness and the liberation of knowing she is following the only voice that really matters... that of her heart... it’s truly magical.
@@letitbe1977 really? She cheats a lot minpulate and lefts John on the wedding day.he was devastated while she was happy about it to get to Peter. And in spiderman 2 she is ok with Peter being spiderman while being in a relationship. But in spiderman 3 she dosent want to be with him because he is spiderman and pretty sure I left a lot more out Ps mary Jane=terrible person
@@brandonc3361 - Tbh, in the first one, MJ was kinda ''experimenting'' love. She was with Flash (who really wasn't made for her -obvious reasons). Then Harry (and we could say the same damn thing -did you see how he was treating her?). Peter, on the other hand, is just perfect for her ; he sees her for who she is, he believes in her dreams and keeps encouraging her, etc. Remember, the only 'male figure' she had in her life is her abusive father who constantly made her feel like shit. Flash and Harry weren't good with her either. Only Peter. Her cheating isn't forgivable, but she ain't having fun doing it, she's searching for the one. - For John, I'm gonna be honest with you ; that was just horrible. I understand the fact that she has to say no to this wedding cuz he isn't the one she loves obviously (and you won't marry someone you don't love, knowing you'll be unhappy). She could have just told him before the ceremony or something instead of just giving him a letter that he read in front of everybody.... Honestly, that was not nice at all. And yeah, I agree that she was happy afterwards, but I guess it's the Oxytocin, knowing that she's going to the one she truly loves (by the way, what she told him was really beautiful '' isn't it about time someone saved Spider-Man? ''), and it is satisfying (as the public) because Peter really needed a break in this movie. - You're actually mistaking ; watch SPM3 again. MJ's okay with Pete being Spider-Man and she doesn't mind being with him. The thing she doesn't like, on the other hand, is Peter being ''full of himself'' because of his Spidey fame. I mean come on, when she was a her lowest and she just wanted comfort from Peter, but he kept comparing her situation to him being Spider-Man (he was making this about him) and she even reminded him. Then, he kisses Gwen and didn't even know what was going on in MJ's life (she lost her dream job). Really? I'm gonna be honest with you, Peter in SPM3 is kind of a jerk (until the end, when he pulls himself together). She's not a terrible person, she just made a lot mistakes regarding ''love''. Her character could have been better tho, this I agree.
3:44 Go get them tiger. It shows how much she supports him and be willing to share and take on the journey with him. Kristen Dunst is and amazing actress.
You’ve got to be joking, she’s literally left some poor dude at the altar who she professed to love and has been blowing her back out on a regular basis ! She’s a piece of work…
@@rrabbitt1389 she didn't whine about that. She complained about Peter being so self centered instead of being supportive towards her during her career crisis.
0:37 The symbolism within this trilogy is astounding. Everytime I come to the comments or watch the movie over I notice something new. Here's one I've never read about, Harry's bowtie. Just moments before, Harry discovered the Goblin lair and now he's sporting a green bowtie to the wedding solidifying his motives for the next movie. Absolutely amazing ♡ He's "taking control". Great job to everyone apart of the Raimi team for these little hints ♡
Jack Hussey I'm a sucker for Spider-Man. I didn't actually like this film that much! Although some bits were great, most of it was a little too boring, for me anyway, and Dunst just derailed the whole thing. I actually much preferred the first one and both Amazing S films! Not that this film is bad, of course!
I just thought that this movie fleshed out its characters a lot better than the first one. Doc Ock is my all time favorite villain and Alfred Morlina nailed his character. Sure, it didn't have as much action as the first Spider-Man. But it had better directed action. Like, the train fight is one of my favorite action sequences of all time.
I agree about the train fight (stunning!) and the fight scenes in general, and I liked Molina as Ock. His reasons were sound, but didn't like the way they handled his character. In the comics it takes 50 years for him to reform, in the movie... 2 hours?
When she touches his cheek you see him melt. Peter finally let's down all shields and reserves and he lets her love him back. It's such a great scene filled with so many moments. The most.perfect ending
That melt expression on his face is one of the many amazing emotional mimics of Peter Parker. Tobey did an excellent job in conveying Peter Parker's constantly changing emotions to us and that is why he is the GOAT and he will always be the favorite spider-man of us.
I took a date the week this was released. I fought back tears every time Sam Raimi got Peter Parker right. This is the Peter I grew up reading. My affection for this film has grown every time I watch it. This is my version of a perfect comic film. This film is perfect.
Ive never seen a smoother transition at the end when he swings out of his apartment in any other movie in 20 years this is one of many reasons why this is the best spiderman movie.
(Sirens sound) "Go get em Tiger" (Spiderman follow sounds of sirens) (Arrives on scene) (Sees car pulled over getting ticket for broken tail light) "Fuck"
When MJ runs to Peter it was soooo artistic, romantic and beautiful, as she disappeared to the left of the camera, her smile changes to smiling lips with head held up, the message is she is running her real groom to sort her life once and for all. Theres a reason Kirsten Dunst is a millionaire she is so good at such roles that years later her performance brings tears to our eyes.❤
@@jakeystarsuper they're not. There are literally no emotions nor real human interactions in the MCU movies. Their "interaction" are so artificial and not the way real people talk to each other unlike this film
When I first watched this at around age 6 or 7, I always wondered why MJ made that face at the end of the movie. I remember thinking, “Wait, does she not really love Peter or..?”. But as I got older. I got a better understanding and a high appreciated for that scene. It’s a look of worry, maybe slight regret, but also a look with love as she watches her new partner swing through New York. It’s also a look of doubt about what the future holds for her with this new-found love. Great scene, fantastic film. Raimi’s will always be the best, hands down
Not one person working for marvel now has a soul or has had actually life experience the people working on the original trilogy made u feel such emotion these are people that definitely feel and have been through a lot.
"I've been always standing in your doorway" I think this scene is perfect, one of my favorites of the trilogy. I mean, every word is so pure, so perfect. The perfect movie ending!
This ending is so great. The whole movie throws challenges at Peter beating him down. In these final moments he gets what he truly wanted all along, thus making the ending satisfying and well earned. Its also interesting to note that this ending is the complete opposite of the first movie. This ends with a wedding (sort of) rather than a funeral, Mary Jane now knows Peter is Spider-Man, and they are together now instead of just friends. This aspect especially makes the happy ending all the more earned.
@@mariobadia4553 You are a fucking idiot who goes around bashing MJ on every comment, and judging by what you write, you didn't even watch this trilogy.
Just cried after this scene and will be forever thanked to Sam Raimi to make this kinda impossible film on these days...Spider Man movies will never be the same since then.
Spider-Man 2 is my favorite superhero movie of all time. This is what happens when you have a vision, which leads to a thought, a thought amplifies your imagination, and your imagination can lead to a reality. In a way, a vision and a thought are interchangeable. Thank you, Sam Rami, for being the greatest Superhero director of all time. You taught me that not all superhero movies need a complicated story. Although Peter Parker's life is complicated, the story didn't need a swift transition, so that the scenes don't connect with the movie's theme of storytelling. Still, all the Sam Rami Spider-Man movies are linked with six words, "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility."-Ben Parker. (I love Star Wars, but I wouldn't refer to the Jedi as Superheros but rather as the protectors of the Universe)
Main reasons why this ending is fantastic: 1-The score (oh, the score!) 2-''Isn't it about time somebody saved *your* life?'' 3-Spidey swinging looks incredible. 4-Harry's bow tie. 5-J. Jonah Jameson
Ok, I'll bite this thread. This will be extensive so bear with me, if you will. Mary Jane in these movies, was nothing more than a trophy. She was a character's girlfriend. She was a damsel in distress. Look at every Raimi Spider Man movie, she gets kidnapped in every single one. It is literally the same plot. She had no distinguishable personality traits of her own, she was passive aggressive, dating guys because she was the woman in these movies, and it was convenient. None of the spark and wit that the MJ of the comics had, AT ALL. She flat leaves a guy, after thousands of dollars are spent on a wedding, without even considering telling him beforehand. That is cruel. That 's very, very selfish. She does go to Peter, but guess what, in Spider Man 3, she ends up resenting him because she made that impulsive choice. And they break up, and BOOM!! Right back to square one! Peter in this movie, shucked his responsibilities, all because he was going after that blank slate that I just described above. Don't even bother making the argument, that "He was losing his powers". He was lovesick, and quit. He quit on his promise to be a hero, all because he was selfish, and let so many people in New York fall prey to danger. He flat out walked passed a guy, getting mugged, asking for help, acting like nothing happened. No call to the police, no "Stop!". NOTHING. Even if he got his ass kicked, that would've at least made his conflict more interesting. He spent 2/4 of this movie, mulling over a situation that he could've easily avoided, had he been brave enough to take on the responsibility, of knowing to look after someone he is in love with. He quit, and walked away simply because he "couldn't get the girl". Uncle Ben's death doesn't need to be discussed, because with Spider Man, it needs to happen. It's necessary, and detrimental to his growth. Tobey was just as rude to Uncle Ben in Spider Man 1, before he died. As far as Captain Stacy and Gwen that goes in line with Peter's growth. In the comics, Spider Man loses ALOT of people close to him. And has to endure, and push through. He learns through error. Sometimes fatal error. Captain Stacy chose to be there, do his job, and help Peter take down the Lizard. He was the one that made Peter realize the difference between, being a reckless vigilante, and actually helping people. He died, yes, he made Peter promise, yes, Peter broke up with Gwen yes, but how would you feel if you being a hero, and partially responsible for the creation of a reptilian beast, got the father of your girlfriend killed? Peter did break up with Gwen, after the funeral, (ironically how Peter snubbed MJ at the end of Spider Man1), but the main difference is, Gwen is actually an intelligent character, who's aware, has depth, is independent, and not to mention cognizant. The minute Peter does it, she walks away, turns around and says "HE MADE YOU PROMISE DIDN'T HE?!" Garfield's Peter was so overcome with guilt, he couldn't face Gwen, nor her family. He did break that promise, but that ended up being addressed in ASM2. He knows he's going against the wishes of a dead man, that trusted him, so he takes the bullet, and a broken heart, and does the right thing. Though Peter and Gwen can't live without each other. Gwen also made her choice to help Peter defeat Electro, which ended up getting her killed. But that doesn't mean, that Garfield's Peter is a "douche". He actually tried to stop her.. TWICE from helping him. He knew the danger, but let her help him anyway. So he was indirectly responsible for her destruction. If he wasn't Spider Man, then she wouldn't be there, and she wouldn't be dead. Side Note: (Unlike Mary Jane, Gwen willingly put her self in mortal danger just to help Peter up to three times. Even when he kept trying to keep her out of it, and keep her as far away from danger as possible) Garfield learned the hard way, but it's way more impactful, and way more of a harsh lesson in self accountability. You saw the direct result of what happens, when you break your word, and how it affects others. You saw the growth, and the harsh learning curve it puts the character through. But out of it, they become a way more mature person. That's why I look at scenes like this, and cringe. The whole argument that these movies have "heart", and that in the newer movies Garfield is an "irresponsible dick", when actually he is ten times more pro active, and cognizant than Maguire's Peter. There is no growth in the Original Trilogy. It was just ok for the characters to be selfish, leave their responsibilities, and be puppets, driven by the same exact narrative in three movies. You call Garfield a douche, when actually he took every hard lesson, he learned, translated that into moving forward, took responsibility for his actions, and enacted said lessons when it came to being a hero. Maguire quit, acted like a clumsy Steve Jobs, and not only that but in the Third movie, kissed another woman, IN FRONT OF HIS GIRLFRIEND. The end of this movie, regardless of it's "Score", Or cool "Swinging" completely refutes any lesson about responsibility the characters have learned. Peter just takes another man's girlfriend, Mj leaves said man at the altar, going to Peter in the same dress she was going to marry that guy in. That's not growth, that's padding, and wrapping a terrible message in a bow. Just because it came "first", it's not the best. The characters in the first trilogy, had horrible development, and never came that far by the end. To conclude this, I'll just point out something. Maguire quit being Spider Man, because of the stress, and mostly because he let a girl go, that he could have, no problem, but refuses to take control of his situation. He just throws it away, under some belief that him not doing it anymore, and not seeing his heroism through will bring her back. Garfield went through heartbreak, abandonment, helped support Aunt May, tried to be there for a friend who was going off the rails (harry) and didn't quit once. It wasn't even a thought. He just kept going, powered through, saw the road to it's conclusion. He only quit when Gwen died. He lost the love of his life, due to his broken promise, but had the strength enough to be able to suck it up, and move on after something like that. He actually learned something very serious. He learned how actions affect not only himself, but others around him. He actually was evolving into a man. Sorry, just because MJ is running in her "Cute Wedding Dress", and its shot like a Macy's Commercial, doesn't mean it gets a pass. You never felt like her and Peter could live without each other. Half the movie she was berating him. Then got engaged to someone else, out of convenience, and not only that, seemingly to make Peter jealous, and get his attention. Sorry but the characters in this series, were TEN TIMES WORSE, than anything in the Amazing Spider Man films.
So...you mean kindly disagreeing, going as far to say I see the points you were making, giving elaborate explanations for what I was explaining, and above all, respecting your intelligence and not insulting you? It's friendly conversation, and we're all here for the same reason, but it's very disappointing that you immediately go into defense mode, and attack people, who have no basis in attacking you. It's not warranted, and actually... Kind of sad. To be honest, I've never said this to many people, but I kind of pity you.
Best fights in spider-man movies Best villain in spider-man movies Best music in spider-man movies And sure it is the best spider-man movie for all time
Carma The Kid the ending in TASM2 sucks. Gwen's death is a cynical, superficial, passionless attempt at re-doing what worked so well in the comics and failing miserably (plus getting rid of the best character they had) and the Rhino crap is crap.
her death wasnt falling from the george washington bridge tho it was in a clock tower and besides the death the ending I thought was great (except for the stupid rhino trailerbate)
I was able to tell based on the time she looked at Peter after discovering his identity when he dropped her off to John that she was going to escape her wedding and run to Peter and sure enough she did and they finally became a couple! This film is such a masterpiece
Here’s the problem with that statement. The reason why the MCU has so many post credit scenes is because it’s setting up future events. Endgame was the END which was why there was no scene. These movies also apply to that. They didn’t set up any future films. So, not to be a dick or anything but your statement is wrong
@@gmoney1962 agreed. As much as I have a bit of an anti with the MCU, I do agree, since the Marvel Universe has a lot of villains and heroes, that there’s a large shared universe in movies, much like how it is in the comics.
Rich Tannis Only because of the intro theme lol without it nobody would think it's the best lol. Nobody in the world but me knows that the intro theme is the ONLY reason why people think Raimi spiderman is better than Marc Webb lol
Peter at first was just sitting there alone ready to live a lonely life of responsibility until MJ showed up. Respect.
That’s what makes his character just so *good* in this. He actually makes the commitment, and only abandons it when his inner conflict brings him to a meaningful critical point, unlike Amazing Spider-Man where he just seems to forget about it after making a promise.

Definitely, I've watched this movie so many times growing up. The push/pull between losing ones power, finding their identity and coming back. It was fantastic, my favorite comeback story even compared to the other movies you had mentioned on the list. I think there's a lot of exaggeration played out in those movies whereas this one didn't have all that, came very naturally. I think it may have to do with the times changing and how directors put a lot of effects on their scenes, I don't like it as much.
The Dark Knight is the pinnacle of Superhero movies, because of its realism and the fact that it treats itself like a film rather than a superhero movie, portrayed by a classic villain with multiple ocsars.
@@sudeshnamukhopadhyay5214 it is realistic, especially compared to other Superhero movies, and they used as little CGI as they possibly could too, even the Truck flip scene was done with a real truck flip. The Dark Knight is actually slightly better than Batman Begins, Heath Ledger's performance, puts it over it. The Dark Knight will always be the number 1 superhero movie until something else passes it. Spiderman 2 is probably the 2nd or 3rd best superhero movie, but it's not the first. It may be to some, but the general audience thinks that The Dark Knight is still number 1, not to mention that The Dark Knight beats Spiderman 2 in almost all statistical categories, it wasn't beaten in box office until Avengers End Game
Spider-Man 2 and winter soldier are my favs
That look on her face as it fades to black. She knows in her heart she just chose the hardest path for her life. She doesn’t regret the choice, but she’s aware of the consequences.
It's quite sad considering in another universe, Gwen Stacy made that same choice but paid for it with her own life. Ultimately, both Peters respected the choices of the loves of their lives. They weren't wrong but for Peter-Three it's just tragic.
@@flameguy714Peter-Three literally lost everything.
Isn't that the very definition of selfless love? Isn't it about doing what's best for someone else, even if it means you might suffer in the process? MJ knew that at this point, Peter had spent the past two years giving all he had every day, to save and protect complete strangers who would never totally understand his sacrifice. That's why her words to him strike so close to home - "Isn't it about time somebody saved your life?" Neither of them are asking for anything more than what so many around them already have. They want to be loved, trusted, embraced, and fully understood. You can't get much closer than that.

"Go get em tiger." Chills, tears, and joy at this line.
+ArtofDestiny Yeah great bit. They did the same thing in Suite Life: Maddie FINALLY kisses Zack and tells him "now go get em tiger." And then she disappears forever from the show which sucked.
That's my favorite of MJ's lines. 😊. I'm a totally straight girl, but even I have to admit it was pretty sexy how she said it. Lol
Anonymous love that line so much
I remember seeing this movie with a bunch of coworkers and friends and literally waiting the entire movie for MJ's signature line and being so happy it was said.
Also a great callback to the comics!

***** But that's nostalgia. Maybe it'll be better or maybe it'll be terrible.
Only time will tell.
true
True... Better ones are on the way!
Did you catch MJ's expression at the end? There was deep sadness. She knows that the choice she's making will be an unsure difficult path, and possibly a very dangerous one. She gave up love, security, a 'posh' life, but she wasn't 'in love' with her fiance. She had tried to get away from the insecurity that was always part of her childhood. Now she was accepting that insecurity would always be part of it because as she said to Peter, "I can't live without you." A kiss, then he's out the window and she on what would have been her wedding day, alone.
Well written
Not sadness but worry
searched for this comment. her expression was full of insecurities.
Expression could be resolve too. Cool to see your BF fly out the window but he’s always heading into danger. Nothing to keep smiling about. Also she did just ditch a uber successful and decent guy at the altar… busy day for her.

The line “Isn’t about time somebody saved your life?” always brings tears to my eyes. That one question perfectly captures this whole movie, Peter putting others before him, putting his duty as Spider-Man before his normal life. Saving others’ lives while his is going down the drain. Finally, in the end, somebody finally saves his.
After all it is a foreshadowing for No Way Home.

A romantic relationship between a superhero dedicated to fighting dangerous and evil beings and a normal human girl can never, ever work. Doomed to tragedy sooner rather than later. She should have married Chad-boy.

@@akshaynatu6568 What if the superhero and the normal girl had a long distance relationship or something? I think that would make it a little harder for the bad guys to get to the hero’s partner if they’re somewhere far away. It’s one of the reasons why I think Peter and Gwen in TASAM 2 should have considered doing something like that. I don’t understand why Gwen going to another country was treated like it was gonna be a final goodbye when long distance relationships are a thing.

The closest to a “happy ending” a Spider-Man movie has ever gotten.
I hope one day Peter 3 will find peace
This is an ending that makes this a good MOVIE rather than just a good super-hero movie. Peter is prepared for a life of sacrifice, and to walk it alone. There have been many of us who have relegated ourselves to such a position, thinking we had to do it and no one else could help. But then someone comes along that cares more about you than even you do. When MJ says, "Isn't it about time someone saved YOUR life?" it throws Peter a lifeline he never thought he'd have and when she says, "Go get 'em, Tiger..." he knows that she's got his back. That's good story, good message, and good movie.
Yeah I know
This almost made me tear up.
Thank you.
I wished Sam Riami directed Iron Man Movie like this one
They developed Peter Parker so well in this movie. When him and MJ got together at the end, it felt like seeing my

I've always loved that scene, yes it's kinda cheesy but I think that is the essence of the comic books too

Face it. You've never really matured since you've never considered putting this scene into other perspectives.
Fokkusu Haundo I understand that what MJ did to him was pretty shitty so there. And besides, are you even considering my perspective here? How can you say with any degree of certainty to a total stranger that I have never considered putting this scene into other perspectives? You seeing the irony here?
Lol
@@fokkusuh4425 Yeah fuck MJ
If we are talking about real life lessons here, I have to agree with the first guy that responded to your comment. MJ running from her wedding in a wedding dress all gleeful and in slomo just sours the whole lesson of "you don't have to face life alone" thing, that was childish and fickle as fuck on her part leaving her fiance at the altar at the last minute. even as a kid I was like "ummm...ok so now she decides she wants to be with him" if anything it just makes you wonder if she'll even sty with him.
I know it was done for dramatic effect in the movie but MJ is a total bitch for doing that, it doesn't age well and definitely doesn't give me a "life lesson" about anything.
"it's about time someone to save your life" gets me every time.
Peter had just been through so much by himself and finally find the love of his life.

would've been so easy to end on the triumphant shot of spider-man swinging away, but raimi makes the audacious, character driven choice to end on Mary Jane's bittersweet expression as she enters an uncertain future with the man she loves. they just don't make em like this anymore; real movies, full blooded, alive, meaningful.
Brian Magid I love this ending with Mary Jane at the end.
Not only that but the soundtrack that was triumphant until the final shot with MJ gets changed right on the last note for a more sudden turn to a dark theme.
@JateelKhan: Sam Raimi also did the same at the end of 'Sacrifice-Part 2' which is an episode of Xena: Warrior Princess.
I never even thought of that at all until you mentioned it!

I always loved how she put on a brave face for him, to support him and then her face and the end is full of worry and fear for her man, and also understanding that his job as Spider-Man will always take priority.
Yeah. I personally always saw MJ’s arc in this movie as her learning to accept that Peter’s Spider Man duties are always gonna come first, no matter how much he wants to be with her. Wouldn’t you agree.
In my opinion the reason this is the best superhero film and one of my favorite movies of all time is that it captures the core of Spiderman's appeal. A normal teenage nerd who accidentally acquired these great powers and uses them, not in the way a spoiled brat or a teenage bully would use them. He was the unpopular kid who was picked on in school, but he had the courage and character to help people like him and those in his community. It was the fantasy a lot of kids wished for themselves, to be appreciated for doing the right thing.
The way she touches his cheek, and the way his face reacts to it. That's the feeling I want when I'm in love.
May God bless you with a beautiful and caring woman, my brother!

@@brandonc3361 - Tbh, in the first one, MJ was kinda ''experimenting'' love. She was with Flash (who really wasn't made for her -obvious reasons). Then Harry (and we could say the same damn thing -did you see how he was treating her?). Peter, on the other hand, is just perfect for her ; he sees her for who she is, he believes in her dreams and keeps encouraging her, etc. Remember, the only 'male figure' she had in her life is her abusive father who constantly made her feel like shit. Flash and Harry weren't good with her either. Only Peter. Her cheating isn't forgivable, but she ain't having fun doing it, she's searching for the one.
- For John, I'm gonna be honest with you ; that was just horrible. I understand the fact that she has to say no to this wedding cuz he isn't the one she loves obviously (and you won't marry someone you don't love, knowing you'll be unhappy). She could have just told him before the ceremony or something instead of just giving him a letter that he read in front of everybody.... Honestly, that was not nice at all. And yeah, I agree that she was happy afterwards, but I guess it's the Oxytocin, knowing that she's going to the one she truly loves (by the way, what she told him was really beautiful '' isn't it about time someone saved Spider-Man? ''), and it is satisfying (as the public) because Peter really needed a break in this movie.
- You're actually mistaking ; watch SPM3 again. MJ's okay with Pete being Spider-Man and she doesn't mind being with him. The thing she doesn't like, on the other hand, is Peter being ''full of himself'' because of his Spidey fame. I mean come on, when she was a her lowest and she just wanted comfort from Peter, but he kept comparing her situation to him being Spider-Man (he was making this about him) and she even reminded him. Then, he kisses Gwen and didn't even know what was going on in MJ's life (she lost her dream job). Really? I'm gonna be honest with you, Peter in SPM3 is kind of a jerk (until the end, when he pulls himself together).
She's not a terrible person, she just made a lot mistakes regarding ''love''. Her character could have been better tho, this I agree.

Best ending to a Spider-Man movie. Always makes me smile. Best superhero movie ever!
Jack Hussey debatable. :-) Dark Knight for me.
I get ya. I'm just a sucker when it comes to Spider-Man. The Dark Knight is my second favorite superhero movie.
Jack Hussey I'm a sucker for Spider-Man. I didn't actually like this film that much! Although some bits were great, most of it was a little too boring, for me anyway, and Dunst just derailed the whole thing. I actually much preferred the first one and both Amazing S films! Not that this film is bad, of course!
I just thought that this movie fleshed out its characters a lot better than the first one. Doc Ock is my all time favorite villain and Alfred Morlina nailed his character. Sure, it didn't have as much action as the first Spider-Man. But it had better directed action. Like, the train fight is one of my favorite action sequences of all time.
I agree about the train fight (stunning!) and the fight scenes in general, and I liked Molina as Ock. His reasons were sound, but didn't like the way they handled his character. In the comics it takes 50 years for him to reform, in the movie... 2 hours?
When she touches his cheek you see him melt. Peter finally let's down all shields and reserves and he lets her love him back. It's such a great scene filled with so many moments. The most.perfect ending

That melt expression on his face is one of the many amazing emotional mimics of Peter Parker. Tobey did an excellent job in conveying Peter Parker's constantly changing emotions to us and that is why he is the GOAT and he will always be the favorite spider-man of us.
I took a date the week this was released. I fought back tears every time Sam Raimi got Peter Parker right. This is the Peter I grew up reading. My affection for this film has grown every time I watch it. This is my version of a perfect comic film. This film is perfect.
Ive never seen a smoother transition at the end when he swings out of his apartment in any other movie in 20 years this is one of many reasons why this is the best spiderman movie.

When MJ runs to Peter it was soooo artistic, romantic and beautiful, as she disappeared to the left of the camera, her smile changes to smiling lips with head held up, the message is she is running her real groom to sort her life once and for all. Theres a reason Kirsten Dunst is a millionaire she is so good at such roles that years later her performance brings tears to our eyes.❤
Tobey: it's complicated but we made it work. You know me and MJ.
Heart... emotion... passion.. human interaction. Unlike anything happening in movies today.
Good observation. They want to kill emotions from our life.
@@robertadam7080 no they don't y'all are both drama queens
@@jakeystarsuper Ikr
Incel spotted
@@jakeystarsuper they're not. There are literally no emotions nor real human interactions in the MCU movies. Their "interaction" are so artificial and not the way real people talk to each other unlike this film
When I first watched this at around age 6 or 7, I always wondered why MJ made that face at the end of the movie. I remember thinking, “Wait, does she not really love Peter or..?”. But as I got older. I got a better understanding and a high appreciated for that scene. It’s a look of worry, maybe slight regret, but also a look with love as she watches her new partner swing through New York. It’s also a look of doubt about what the future holds for her with this new-found love. Great scene, fantastic film. Raimi’s will always be the best, hands down
Yeah I loved that scene as well. She doesn't say anything but her expression says a lot.
MCU can only dream such as beautiful scene as this one
Not one person working for marvel now has a soul or has had actually life experience the people working on the original trilogy made u feel such emotion these are people that definitely feel and have been through a lot.
“Go get em tiger.”
Straight from the comics.
I love it!
"I've been always standing in your doorway"
I think this scene is perfect, one of my favorites of the trilogy. I mean, every word is so pure, so perfect. The perfect movie ending!
It's actually a callback to the first time Mary Jane shows up in Spiderman comics
@@ajohndaeal-asad6731
I was just going to say that.
This ending is so great. The whole movie throws challenges at Peter beating him down. In these final moments he gets what he truly wanted all along, thus making the ending satisfying and well earned. Its also interesting to note that this ending is the complete opposite of the first movie. This ends with a wedding (sort of) rather than a funeral, Mary Jane now knows Peter is Spider-Man, and they are together now instead of just friends. This aspect especially makes the happy ending all the more earned.
So you're ignoring how she just left Harry on their wedding to be with his best friend???
Mario Badia wait, I haven’t seen these movies in like 5 years, but she was gonna marry Harry? Which film?
@@mariobadia4553 You are a fucking idiot who goes around bashing MJ on every comment, and judging by what you write, you didn't even watch this trilogy.
@@mariobadia4553 LMFAO she wasn't even going to marry Harry moron it was a completely different dude. 😂
@@mariobadia4553 are you kidding me? She wasn't going to marry Harry but the other guy
Just cried after this scene and will be forever thanked to Sam Raimi to make this kinda impossible film on these days...Spider Man movies will never be the same since then.
Spider-Man 2 is my favorite superhero movie of all time. This is what happens when you have a vision, which leads to a thought, a thought amplifies your imagination, and your imagination can lead to a reality. In a way, a vision and a thought are interchangeable. Thank you, Sam Rami, for being the greatest Superhero director of all time. You taught me that not all superhero movies need a complicated story. Although Peter Parker's life is complicated, the story didn't need a swift transition, so that the scenes don't connect with the movie's theme of storytelling. Still, all the Sam Rami Spider-Man movies are linked with six words, "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility."-Ben Parker. (I love Star Wars, but I wouldn't refer to the Jedi as Superheros but rather as the protectors of the Universe)
Main reasons why this ending is fantastic:
1-The score (oh, the score!)
2-''Isn't it about time somebody saved *your* life?''
3-Spidey swinging looks incredible.
4-Harry's bow tie.
5-J. Jonah Jameson
And leaving a guy at the altar just gets a free pass?
Ok, I'll bite this thread. This will be extensive so bear with me, if you will.
Mary Jane in these movies, was nothing more than a trophy. She was a character's girlfriend. She was a damsel in distress. Look at every Raimi Spider Man movie, she gets kidnapped in every single one. It is literally the same plot. She had no distinguishable personality traits of her own, she was passive aggressive, dating guys because she was the woman in these movies, and it was convenient. None of the spark and wit that the MJ of the comics had, AT ALL. She flat leaves a guy, after thousands of dollars are spent on a wedding, without even considering telling him beforehand. That is cruel. That 's very, very selfish. She does go to Peter, but guess what, in Spider Man 3, she ends up resenting him because she made that impulsive choice. And they break up, and BOOM!! Right back to square one!
Peter in this movie, shucked his responsibilities, all because he was going after that blank slate that I just described above. Don't even bother making the argument, that "He was losing his powers". He was lovesick, and quit. He quit on his promise to be a hero, all because he was selfish, and let so many people in New York fall prey to danger. He flat out walked passed a guy, getting mugged, asking for help, acting like nothing happened. No call to the police, no "Stop!". NOTHING. Even if he got his ass kicked, that would've at least made his conflict more interesting. He spent 2/4 of this movie, mulling over a situation that he could've easily avoided, had he been brave enough to take on the responsibility, of knowing to look after someone he is in love with. He quit, and walked away simply because he "couldn't get the girl".
Uncle Ben's death doesn't need to be discussed, because with Spider Man, it needs to happen. It's necessary, and detrimental to his growth. Tobey was just as rude to Uncle Ben in Spider Man 1, before he died.
As far as Captain Stacy and Gwen that goes in line with Peter's growth. In the comics, Spider Man loses ALOT of people close to him. And has to endure, and push through. He learns through error. Sometimes fatal error.
Captain Stacy chose to be there, do his job, and help Peter take down the Lizard. He was the one that made Peter realize the difference between, being a reckless vigilante, and actually helping people. He died, yes, he made Peter promise, yes, Peter broke up with Gwen yes, but how would you feel if you being a hero, and partially responsible for the creation of a reptilian beast, got the father of your girlfriend killed? Peter did break up with Gwen, after the funeral, (ironically how Peter snubbed MJ at the end of Spider Man1), but the main difference is, Gwen is actually an intelligent character, who's aware, has depth, is independent, and not to mention cognizant. The minute Peter does it, she walks away, turns around and says "HE MADE YOU PROMISE DIDN'T HE?!" Garfield's Peter was so overcome with guilt, he couldn't face Gwen, nor her family. He did break that promise, but that ended up being addressed in ASM2. He knows he's going against the wishes of a dead man, that trusted him, so he takes the bullet, and a broken heart, and does the right thing.
Though Peter and Gwen can't live without each other.
Gwen also made her choice to help Peter defeat Electro, which ended up getting her killed. But that doesn't mean, that Garfield's Peter is a "douche". He actually tried to stop her.. TWICE from helping him. He knew the danger, but let her help him anyway. So he was indirectly responsible for her destruction. If he wasn't Spider Man, then she wouldn't be there, and she wouldn't be dead.
Side Note: (Unlike Mary Jane, Gwen willingly put her self in mortal danger just to help Peter up to three times. Even when he kept trying to keep her out of it, and keep her as far away from danger as possible)
Garfield learned the hard way, but it's way more impactful, and way more of a harsh lesson in self accountability. You saw the direct result of what happens, when you break your word, and how it affects others. You saw the growth, and the harsh learning curve it puts the character through. But out of it, they become a way more mature person.
That's why I look at scenes like this, and cringe. The whole argument that these movies have "heart", and that in the newer movies Garfield is an "irresponsible dick", when actually he is ten times more pro active, and cognizant than Maguire's Peter.
There is no growth in the Original Trilogy. It was just ok for the characters to be selfish, leave their responsibilities, and be puppets, driven by the same exact narrative in three movies. You call Garfield a douche, when actually he took every hard lesson, he learned, translated that into moving forward, took responsibility for his actions, and enacted said lessons when it came to being a hero.
Maguire quit, acted like a clumsy Steve Jobs, and not only that but in the Third movie, kissed another woman, IN FRONT OF HIS GIRLFRIEND.
The end of this movie, regardless of it's "Score", Or cool "Swinging" completely refutes any lesson about responsibility the characters have learned. Peter just takes another man's girlfriend, Mj leaves said man at the altar, going to Peter in the same dress she was going to marry that guy in. That's not growth, that's padding, and wrapping a terrible message in a bow. Just because it came "first", it's not the best.
The characters in the first trilogy, had horrible development, and never came that far by the end. To conclude this, I'll just point out something.
Maguire quit being Spider Man, because of the stress, and mostly because he let a girl go, that he could have, no problem, but refuses to take control of his situation. He just throws it away, under some belief that him not doing it anymore, and not seeing his heroism through will bring her back.
Garfield went through heartbreak, abandonment, helped support Aunt May, tried to be there for a friend who was going off the rails (harry) and didn't quit once. It wasn't even a thought. He just kept going, powered through, saw the road to it's conclusion.
He only quit when Gwen died. He lost the love of his life, due to his broken promise, but had the strength enough to be able to suck it up, and move on after something like that.
He actually learned something very serious.
He learned how actions affect not only himself, but others around him. He actually was evolving into a man.
Sorry, just because MJ is running in her "Cute Wedding Dress", and its shot like a Macy's Commercial, doesn't mean it gets a pass.
You never felt like her and Peter could live without each other. Half the movie she was berating him. Then got engaged to someone else, out of convenience, and not only that,
seemingly to make Peter jealous, and get his attention.
Sorry but the characters in this series, were TEN TIMES WORSE, than anything in the Amazing Spider Man films.
*****
TL;DR
So...you mean kindly disagreeing, going as far to say I see the points you were making, giving elaborate explanations for what I was explaining, and above all, respecting your intelligence and not insulting you?
It's friendly conversation, and we're all here for the same reason, but it's very disappointing that you immediately go into defense mode, and attack people, who have no basis in attacking you. It's not warranted, and actually...
Kind of sad. To be honest, I've never said this to many people, but I kind of pity you.
***** Hey, dude, that wasn't me who insulted you, I respect your opinion completely and agree with what you just said.
Best fights in spider-man movies
Best villain in spider-man movies
Best music in spider-man movies
And sure it is the best spider-man movie for all time
Facts
True
indeed
TRUE
Spiderverse took that crown
YOU CAN'T LIE TO YOURSELF,love is the real deal,when two feel it,it lasts forever,there's nothing phony about it,its genuine
Love this ending. The look of doubt in MJ's face at the end. Absolutely Perfect.
There's no way "amazing spider man 2" tops this.
Carma The Kid no, but it was way better than TAS, that's for sure ;)
Carma The Kid TASM 2 Ends just before a figth with Rhino....
Carma The Kid the ending in TASM2 sucks. Gwen's death is a cynical, superficial, passionless attempt at re-doing what worked so well in the comics and failing miserably (plus getting rid of the best character they had) and the Rhino crap is crap.
I absolutely loved the Amazing Spider-Man 2, you know why? Because of that movie, Spider-Man's home.
her death wasnt falling from the george washington bridge tho it was in a clock tower and besides the death the ending I thought was great (except for the stupid rhino trailerbate)
The pensive look on Kirsten Dunst's (Mary Jane's) face brings so much gravitas to an already exceptional film.
She said it : she knows the risks of being mrs Spider-Man.
*Kirsten.
I know No Way Home is a totally different Spider-Man Movie but no other spider man film has ever ended with a great ending as this one
Yeah
The ending where spidey starts swinging into the sunsets gives me the chills but feels so nostalgic
3:13 Peter’s expression sums up how the touch of a woman you love can make you feel at peace.
Agreed 💯
A true rarity today.
"Isn't it about time somebody saved your life?"
Those legendary music notes in last .
No spidy movie will ever be able to caught those memories and feelings when ears hear these iconic notes❤️
This movie is the best of the trilogy
Was 13 when I saw this in a packed cinema...people cheered so loud when MJ said to Peter ‘Go get them Tiger’
Forever a classic
I think Jon Watts' third Spiderman film is gonna be the best one yet since we're gonna see some former villians from previous films
Tobey Maquire will always be the best Spider-Man.
BEST SPIDER-MAN
Yes
He's was my favorite Spider man
He will be a Spider-Man in my heart. I love all Spider-Man potrayals no matter how good or bad they are.
Joker is replaced very good but not Spiderman to be honest.
I was able to tell based on the time she looked at Peter after discovering his identity when he dropped her off to John that she was going to escape her wedding and run to Peter and sure enough she did and they finally became a couple! This film is such a masterpiece
I really can't get enough of my favorite Spider-Man actor that I grew up watching it just makes so happy every time I see it.
When the ending is so perfect the movie didn't need three after credit scenes.
yay! Spider-Man 3 has a "Perfect" ending! :D
Here’s the problem with that statement. The reason why the MCU has so many post credit scenes is because it’s setting up future events. Endgame was the END which was why there was no scene. These movies also apply to that. They didn’t set up any future films. So, not to be a dick or anything but your statement is wrong
@@gmoney1962 agreed. As much as I have a bit of an anti with the MCU, I do agree, since the Marvel Universe has a lot of villains and heroes, that there’s a large shared universe in movies, much like how it is in the comics.
That "Go get 'em Tiger" gets me every time. It never gets old.
That bit was the icing on the cake on what was already the perfect ending
I love how she just runs through Central Park in her gown!
It's NYC, not the strangest thing to happen in Central Park.
Man Spiderman 3 did MJ dirty. In here she trully became the Mary Jane Watson from the comics that beatiful yet supportive partner that Peter needed.
Best Spider-Man movie ever made!
Why people love this movie so much just because of the romance
Lam Ar Ehh I'm not much for romance. I love the plot and action. And the soundtrack for the film
Seriously the romance?
Rich Tannis Only because of the intro theme lol without it nobody would think it's the best lol. Nobody in the world but me knows that the intro theme is the ONLY reason why people think Raimi spiderman is better than Marc Webb lol
Rich Tannis still the 1 best comic movie out there in my opinion. Has a special place in my heart
Is it wrong that I can't stop laughing whenever JJJ does this? 0:51
Looool
He's the best!
What about at 1:20? :P
Mr. Palindrome That too. :D
UltimateJKC1994 LMFAOOOO HE'S SO FUNNY 😂😭😂😭😂
