Chris Stuckmann reviews Spider-Man 2, starring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Alfred Molina, Rosemary Harris, J.K. Simmons. Directed by Sam Raimi. - Zábava
"I will not die a monster" is one of my favorite movie lines
I know right? I was hoping Chris would cover that or at least mention Doc Oc's powerful change at the end but sadly he didn't :/
You see that he genuinely has morals and good intentions even if he 'bends' the law to get there.
Dicky Collins same here
Pretty much he died a born again hero he righted his wrongs and sacrificed himself to save the city from being destroyed
@@luketory4684 The arms had control of his mind for most of the film because the inhibitor chip was destroyed. They were using him as a puppet. When they shorted out at the end, Octavious was able to regain control and sacrifice himself to save the city. That's all he really wanted to do to begin with.
I actually really like the burning building scene as it showed that Peter was still very brave and determined to do the right thing, no matter how much he tried to abandon his life as Spider-Man. Only for life to deal him another cruel hand by revealing that not everyone got out of the building safely, and if he were Spider-Man he would have saved everyone.
Thank you! 100% agree. I'm really disappointed Stuckmann didn't see that. Of any CZcams reviewer, I figured he would have been the one to see that.
+Oscar Stainton It's a shame Stuckmann didn't get the significance of the scene. The way the movie builds Peter up in heroics after saving the kid, only to break him down again when he finds out he missed someone, is heart wrenching.
i think it showed peter more that spider man will not be able to save everyone and it gave peter some sense
Yes!!!! I agreeeeeeeeeee
+Oscar Stainton Heh, I was reading down to see if anyone else had mentioned the burning building scene, and you've hit pretty much everything I would have said if they hadn't.
6:18 The burning building scene is very important. It shows that even though peter doesn’t have his powers, he is still willing to risk his life to save someone.
Yeah thats what I was ever thinking and have no Idea how Chris thinks if it gets deleted it would not make a difference. Even I felt the scene when I watched it for the first time.
@@TheMediaStriker ya it’s weird that he thinks that
Peter's selflessness has been established several times over. We really don't need a second copypaste burning building to tell the audience.
SM2 felt draggy in the 2nd act, so cutting this would have improved the film immensely.
@@Aggrofool I disagree. I think this was essential to the movie. Despite not having his powers any longer and making the choice to not be Spiderman, he saved the little girl not as Spiderman but as Peter Parker. He still has the desire to help others despite not wanting to continue on as Spiderman as it is affecting his personal life. I think it further adds to the internal conflict he has with whether or not he’s doing the right thing.
@@Aggrofool I disagree too.
It wasn't just to establish Parker's need to help people, but the more important part of that scene was the end when the firefighter says that someone else still died in the fire. It enforces the idea that if he was Spiderman he would've been able to save that person. The scene is the core reason why he tries to get his powers back.
The whole train scene where they carry him and tell him they promise not to share his identity get me emotional fr, and docs last scene
Jennifer Pineda someone told me that was jesus imagery lol when they carry them in the train
Jennifer Lee m
Jennifer Lee I cried at sandman’s confession in Spider-Man 3 and I’ve never cried watching a film in a LOOOOONG ASS time
It was post 9/11 and that scene reminded me of a time when everyone came together for the greater good. It gets me every time.
*“I WILL NOT DIE A MONSTER.”*
the "I will not die a monster" is one of the greatest lines in superhero movie history
+Andrew Thomas He will die a hero and will not live long enough to see himself become the villain.
+Andrew Thomas That line always hits hard for me
+Andrew Thomas
Somewhat a foreshadowing, Spiderman 3 died a monster.
+impalabeeper What are you talking about?English ************ do you speak it?!?
+FeralElement lmao
They added the burning building scene to help contribute the fact that Peter wants to become Spider-Man again
Edit: they also made it to show that Peter is a hero no matter what, whether he has the suit or not.
Exactly.
TheSurging Gamer I agree too
TheSurging Gamer lol not even, it's to show no matter what Peter is a hero, him and Spider-Man are one
ye that too
this scene also means power is not the only thing behind courage
The point of the Burring building scene was to show that peter still has a desire to be spiderman..... "No place" it defined his character, and was a great parallel to the 1st movie where he went in with his powers, now in the 2nd one it made him realize he cant do that anymore. come on man, u know film, dont u?
Hey it’s Joey Salads. Remember that time you pissed directly into your mouth?
@@fro_e wat
No the point is that you don’t need superpowers to be a hero.
@@fro_e wat
Chris seemed like he was on something in 2016
I feel the opposite about MJ harshness. I think the movie infers that Peter has disappointed her many times in the year that seperates the films.
nope her aunt may and harry are all just total assholes
I think so too
@@andressanchez7629 harry actually makes sense cos even tho he's an asshole, he had an abuse relationship with his dad and he's grieving him. Aunt may forgives peter and inspires his comeback.
I feel like such an outcast, I still absolutely love Spider Man 3
I couldn't stand it.
Monster!
you are in the minority. You are an awful person.
+QKnightZ Vemon was sick
+QKnightZ I love it too.
I don't think we will ever see another superhero movie like Spider Man 2.
Most superhero movies now at days are so focus on setting up sequels and spin offs that they forget to be good movies.
robiking011 I'm looking at you bvs and the amazing spiderman 2
True but the Captain America trilogy still can stand on its own. It's really one of the best super hero trilogies ever. It'll be a classic, guaranteed. And Ant Man is quite stand alone.
***** true and Guardians of The Galaxy. They never once mentioned anything about the avengers
Iron man was incredible. But thats greatly due to RDJs oscar worthy performance as Tony Stark. To be fair now that I think of it EVERYTHING in this movie evolves around RDJs acting (not even Tony Stark himself). Same could be said for the oh so glorious beloved and overrated as fuck The Dark Knight where 80% of the movie revolves around the Joker and 20% Double Face. Even Batman himself lacks so much charisma and for some weird reason Batman movies never feel to have good endings. Still its a MUUUUUUUCH better movie than Batman Begins which I absolutely hated personnaly except the very very ending with the Joker card.
necrosplatful Dude, Dark Knight is overrated but it's praised because it's actually original, and Batman never had a decent non-animated movie in a long time. The Dark Knight helped Batman become more recognizable to the mainstream audience as the good Batman movies that released were quickly outdated. This movie did the best job with developing Bruce Wayne as a character like no other Batman movie had ever done. While the Batman sequences weren't the best, they were good enough and some of the scenes are actually epic, like in Batman Begins where he becomes Batman, he takes down a bunch of criminals secretively which builds tension in wondering how Falcone will eventually be victimised by Batman. The darkouts in the scene are really effective and is eeriely captivating. The scene with the Joker where he beats the shit out of him when he's captured in TDK is iconic as hell too. Christian Bale is a good Batman but Keaton is the best one IMO, wish he had more speech with Batman, because when he does it gives me goosebumps.
My favorite movie of all time. Not only one of the best superhero movies, but also one of the best movies ever made as a whole.
Strongly agree
Same. This has been my favorite movie since I was a kid.
I agree. This is my favorite movie of all time.
It's in my top 10 and I love it more each time! I agree with your statement.
Agreed
Everyone always forgets the moments with Mr. Ditkovitch. Those bits were hilarious in this movie
The old euro mentality, They get fixated on silly things and hurass you untill the end of time. It was a great portrayal of New york and the different cultures
Rent?
@@luiginastro8831 You'll get your rent when you fix this DAMN DOOR
*Give me rent*
This movie is quite frankly one of my favorite films of all time for the sheer fact that it brings back so many memories.
+Saro holy fuck, you even mentioned the game. The movie's tie in game was so much fun!
+Saro the game was so great! Swinging around NYC felt so free, the developers made Spider-Man's agility and acrobatics so on point.
How ever the "I loooost my baloooon" girl always pissed me off. Deal with it, you little shit!
+Saro Fuck i was NEVER able to move beyond that Mysterio fight! Like hell, I was never able to swing around the statue of liberty AND take out those probe things!
+Abdi Osman lmao I hated that too! and when you saw the green question mark and you went to talk to them and then they started beating your ass lol
+Saro Nostalgia doesn't make things good.
I think the burning building scene was symbolic bc it reminded Peter that he still has some hero left in him.
Also demonstrates that he can still be a hero, even without his powers
+Flame of Udun Well said, wasn't tacked on at all.
+Pratik Gedam It's weird that Chris didn't get that part.
Yep. I think it was done in the same spirit as the mansion break-in scene in Iron Man 3 years later - is this guy still a hero without the suit?
+Flame of Udun True, but it could also mean that Peter has to go back to being Spider-Man because someone died in that fire.
I don't think MJ was hung up about Peter just missing that one play. Peter had trouble with his other commitments and surely missed other dates with her. I think the play was just the straw that broke the camels back.
The burning building scene is perfect. It shows that Peter will always want to help people regardless if he’s Spider-Man, without his powers he’s still a hero.
MJ being harsh about Peter missing her play is more about the principal. He makes promises he can’t keep, and breaks them over and over. So she feels let down constantly by him, and probably feels he’s never honest about why he can’t come.
I think this is one of the best superhero movies of all time, and sequels. Amazing complex villain, fleshes out the characters. Amazing action, drama, comedy and creative, ambitious scenes like the hospital scene and the raindrops scene. Sam Raimi is a genius.
The hospital scene scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
Me too
Same. Marvel was edgy back then lmao
I saw it at the cinema as a kid and they had boosted the volume up to at least 150% that one time, so I sat frozen in fear throughout the entire film.
Every Doc-Oc scene was truly horrifying. Rewatching it at home since then has never been the same.
I remember being shocked
+Shirukröte I was old enough not to be scared by this scene but, man... My younger brother was scared the shit out of him when he watched it.
i think the burning building scene does have a place in the film. Its a test for Peter to see whether he'll step in and save the kid in the building despite the fact that he's given up being spiderman, the hero, and even though he does hesitate, something inside him decides to step in and save the kid which some what reminds him of the importance of being a hero
Jamestech also someone got left behind in de building and died. If he didn't gave up on being spidey he probably could have saved both.
KofteG61 The reason why he gave up being a superhero was the fact that the world was crumbling down around him, his studies and relationship with MJ was going bad and he thought that giving everything up would be better, and it was for a while. But then Aunt May reminded him the importance about being a hero without having superpowers and thats what he needed to learn so he could become Spider-Man once again!!
I like Stuckmann but I feel like he just tries at times to make excuses all cause he's a paid critic. Like when he reviewed Batman V Superman
It's not the mask that makes the man. And it's not the powers that makes you super.
Yeah i agree..
Aunt May knew he was Spider-Man, here’s why: In that scene when Aunt May is moving from her house Peter asks: Where are all my comic books? Aunt May says: I gave those away. In all of those comics there was a sketch of the design of Peter's costume. So aunt May knew he was Spider-Man.
I wish they revealed that in 3.
also, when peter saves her from ock, she says "i was wrong about you" and he says "we sure showed him" could be a nod to when the accountant from the bank says "oh yeah, your boy is some hero"
Is the design on the cover or inside the comics? Because I doubt she would've looked through them
Peter: *Eating hotdog while watching review* 🌭
Max Minhtet no its pizza time
6:08
You like hotdogs right?
Understood that reference
Epic
I've seen this movie dozens of times, got the Blu-Ray for Christmas and watched it again... i can't believe how well it holds up. Even the special effects, it looks just as awesome as it always did.
Yes the special effects are amazing!!
Some of them are still better than current cgi
Don't care what anyone says. This is THE greatest superhero movie of all time.
Agreef
I agree 100%. Superhero movies these days are so cluttered with space ships, tech and wibbly wobbly timey whimey stuff
These movies had the perfect balance of fiction and realism.
+HoodoHoodlumsRevenge Well that´s ok, men. A leist you choose one of the best one of all time for sure for all of us. At that point it about preference of style and story. Not a bad choice.
+HoodoHoodlumsRevenge The Ant man porn parody movie says otherwise.
Dana White I'd say The Dark Knight is the definitive dark-hearted superhero film. Spider-Man 2 is the definitive light-hearted superhero film. But that's just me. :)
People are saying Spider-Man Homecoming was better than Spider-Man 2 and I just laugh at them lol
Just Me its true homecoming is better.
@@abhinavgandham4883 homecoming is shit!
@@abhinavgandham4883 definitely not
If you have no taste or morals.
Just Me lmao ygm
I alway's thought the burning building scene was pretty important. That was the moment when Peter realized that the city needed Spider Man back. He managed to save one person as Peter, whereas as Spider Man he could have saved them all.
I'm not going to forget the first time my dad took me
to see the movie when I was 4 years old when this
movie first came out in theaters. This was basically,
one of my all-time favorite films in Marvel's history.
After all this time there still isn't a single comic book film that surpassed the awesomeness of The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 2.
SaberRexZealot Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers, Civil War, Iron Man, X-Men Days of Future Past, and Deadpool would like to say hi.
They're all reliant on that cinematic universe crutch though. They'll be a billion more movies over the next 20 years just like the ones you mentioned, because that's what sells. They exist solely to make money and I'm already sick of it. DC is no better. Star Wars will likely follow the same path.
All that matters is whether the movie is good or not. All those movies I mentioned were better than both of those.
Fast Like Quicksilver Agree to disagree, dude.
X-Men Days of Future Past is NOT better than those two movies whatsoever, the X-Men movie franchise has turned to complete garbage. Guardians of the Galaxy was okay, Deadpool was brilliant, Civil War was...okay. The only part that was really good was the end fight scene. Iron Man was alright, the ending always disappointed me, but that's probably because the villain wasn't that strong of an influence in the movie. Avengers is brilliant as well. But to me personally, nothing can beat Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 as some of the greatest comic book movies of all time. The Dark Knight was brilliant as well.
Spider-Man 2 deserves an A+ in my opinion.
A men to that man
Doc Ock shouldn't of killed himself.
shaolin joe he died for a reason; by realizing what he did wrong, he did the right thing in order to save the city
More like A+ +
'"Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along and
I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated
So motivated
I am certain now that
I am"
Jack Hussey Bruh Spider-Man 2 deserved a A +++++++
Totally missed the point of the burning building. Surprised you missed the importance of the scene
Yea it was for Peter to realize being Spiderman is his destiny and that the city needs him being a person died in the building when tried being a hero without being Spiderman
Yes he is just too dumb with his standard jerkness butthead
why I only watch his reviews for entertainment and don't take them seriously, he sucks at trying to be a critic, he's more of a nitpicker.
@@SamC_182 why the fuck are you here then
Just saw the movie again last night on Starz and yeah that scene was pretty significant. Sure it was a little boring but the scene signified that New York needs Spiderman.
This movie is to Marvel what The Dark Knight is to DC. A timeless masterpiece.
You're worried just because Doc Ock throw Peter against a brick wall when he needs Peter to find Spider-Man for him?
I'm for more concerned about the fact that he threw a freaking car at him! lol XD
Without a doubt, best film of the series :D
And yay! People, guess where the train fight was filmed. Right here in my city; Sweet Home Chicago :D
Why not be concerned for both?
What about the time when Spidey threw a desk at Doc Ock and he landed into a taxi? He should've been dead then...
I grew up with the Sam Raimi movies. As a kid, the Raimi Spider-Man movies inspired me so much. My mom bought me the costumes and I would jump from couch to couch pretending I was swinging (I know weird xD). The train scene was literally my favorite movie scene EVER. My mom even bought me the Spider-Man toy set with the train and Doc Ock. I still watch this movie at the least 10 times a year and Spidey has become my favorite superhero and it inspired me to start reading the comics and I totally enjoy them! Spider-Man has helped me become who I am today and he still inspires me. I still have dreams of being Spider-Man dreams are so fun! Welp that's the end of my story.
These movies are my Star Wars.
+Do you really care what my name is? Lol
+Kirkland Bond to become an athlete and be physically fit. I still want to be Spider-Man someday tho :P
Yeah, we'll I wanna be a bird someday but I don't see that happening anytime soon :/
Amazing story! These movies are beautiful! They have an amazing story and back story! You are very similar to me when I was younger too! I always watch them and Spider man is my favorite superhero! You have earned a subscription!
I know Chris mentioned Aunt May sorta having a hint that Peter is Spider-Man, but I think the same clearly applies to MJ, since the end of the first film. Although he says he was just a friend, after he leaves, she touches her lips feeling like she had kissed him before. Immediately after she speaks to her fiance about Peter Parker (not Spider-Man, mind-you) she has him recreate the upside down kiss she shared with Spider-Man. Even when she asks him if he loves her and she responds "I don't", she isn't buying it right away and asks him to kiss her. Once she sees it's Peter, it's not just surprise, but it was relief that she had. She says "I think I always knew" which we believe, because there were so many hints that she had a suspicion about it. Really love that.
09:13 See the reaction when MJ sees Peter's face?
My favorite Spider-Man movie ever made.
Rating: 10/10
Percentage: 100%
Grade: A+
Positives: Action, themes, story, performances, villain, pacing, visuals, emotional, direction, dialogue, script, writing, great character dinamics, action packed, suspenseful, musical score, plot, exciting, dramatic, character moments, focused story, important, plot twists
Negatives: None it's literally perfect
Favorite part: train sequence
its perfect? nice joke, the film is filled with flaws, theres a lot of corny shit, MJ is a horrible character etc etc
@@anirudhgupta2570 party pooper.
You gave Deadpool an A+ and Spiderman 2 an A??
In no world is Deadpool is a better "film" than Spiderman 2.
+whizgal851 He rates movies based on whether or not they're the best they can be.
He felt that Spiderman 2 could have been better, and he felt that Deadpool was as good as it possibly could have been.
+ChadtheDJguy which isn't true at all if you wanna see it that way. There is plenty of scope of improvement for Deadpool, specially it can be made more accessible to general movie goers .. Etc..
+whizgal851 oh yeah I totally agree. Deadpool was really fun but a lot of aspects could have been better.
+whizgal851 more accessible to general movie goers?? Deadpool?? That is the stupidest argument I've seen this week.
One, this is the highest grossing R film of all time. The general movie audience LOVED it.
Two, if you're talking about it being PG-13, then that'd open up a ton of more problems for it than it is in its state right now
Because it's a meaningless piece of trash that has absolutely no substance and is meant to cater to Hot Topic and teenagers.
Best one in the series in my opinion.
I think so too
Nope. That's Spider-Man 3
+Mark Devlin No
Mark Devlin I like your sarcasm
Especially the best video game in the series.
I will never EVER forget the day I saw Spiderman 2 for the first time on VHS. I was six years old at the time and my parents bought it for me and I remember being so incredibly excited. This film still holds up today and will be one of the greatest superhero movies ever made and the best spiderman movie ever made. Spiderman Homecoming has a lot to live up to.
RationalLllama OH MY GOD SAME!!!, I rmb I used to go to the movie store just to rent it out every weekend
I think the burning building scene was perfect, because it showed that even without powers he was still willing to do good. It rekindled his will to do good.
I still really like Spider-Man 3. It's no where near as bad as people say
It's my personal favorite of the Raimi trology, followed by the first, and then 2. But that doesn't mean I hate 2; I still love it. 3 just has that darker edge to it, when the black suit took over Peter and he got revenge on Sandman in the subway, and his fight with Harry. I don't let the stupid emo strut/dancing scenes ruin it for me.
+DeVaughn Brown They also ruined arguably the best villain in spiderman and maybe even marvel.
+Kadeem The Dream If there was a version without anything involving Venom I think more people would like it.
well said dude
+Ridley the pirate That's because Venom wasn't originally going to be in Spider Man 3 and with fan backlash he was shoehorned in at the last minute. Same thing happened with Iron Man 3 with the Mandarin. I sometimes wonder why Hollywood go for the villains that nobody wants to see in a movie.
I feel like the burning building scene was crucial to reminding Peter why he became Spider-Man in the first place.
I agree, but remember how these reviews are opinion based, so to each his own. :)
yea for sure, i agree it was necessary to be in the movie
Still to this day it is my favorite Spider-Man movie
Aaron Mauer Me too man, still the best Spidey film.
On the "MJ's harsh reaction to Peter missing the play" situation, I think it was actually very good. I think MJ was giving one last chance with the play. The play was not just a play. MJ was already so broken from the whole situation. She loves Peter, and she can see that Peter does too, but he won't admit it, but he still doesn't fully let her go. He never gives her the space to move on with her life (though he should, since he has decided that their relationship could never come to be) which, funnily enough is so well explained by Aunt May in Spider-Man 3, when she basically gives him the simplest advice ever : if you truly love someone, think of them instead of yourself. She needed to move on and finally breathe, and he wouldn't let her. I think the bias of thinking that MJ was being too harsh comes from the fact that WE know how conflicting Peter is feeling and how hard everything is for him and how knowing that MJ is -to some extent- still there, somewhere, waiting for him, is the one last thing giving him strength, but SHE doesn't. So from her perspective, she is just trying to survive a never-ending torture based on love.
I think that the whole point of that aspect of the movie wasn't to make their love flourish in any way, or even make him realise that she is that almighty power that he needs to really be Spider-man. I think the whole point, as we saw when he lets her go and the astronaut guy runs to her, was to understand that he had to be at peace with himself to be Spider-man, and that meant to stop holding on for dear life to something that, from his point of view, could never be.
Easily in the top 5 best superhero movies
+TheRealBeatMaster At first is was about to say eh not sure, but than I realised there are very few I would place higher (batman begins, iron man, winter soldier)
+TheDVeen imo, the Nolan bat movies aren't as great as everybody says, so I would put SM2 above them.
+TheDVeen The Dark Knight?!?!?!
Just with the dark knight, days of future past, avengers and winter soldier
TheDVeen I think this is really where the superhero era of these days kicked off, it's not ridiculous or dull but hella entertaining
The Burning Building scene is tantamount to the story in 2. It's the event that really makes Peter rethink his decision to quitting being Spiderman. Because some people didn't make it out of the building, but he thinks to himself, that if he would have been Spiderman and been at the building quicker, he would've been able to get more people out, possibly all of them. If you didn't have that in it, you wouldn't have the scene where he's standing there, rethinking his decision to giving up being Spiderman and realizing that as Spiderman, he could save lives. As Peter, though, he can't. Or not as many. He realizes that the world really does need Spiderman, then Rosemary Harris's speech about the world needing Spiderman and people in general, makes up his mind that Spiderman really does have to come back. So anyways, as I said, the Burning Building scene was very important, unless you meant we didn't need another burning building and could have had something else take it's place, but he needed some event, some disaster, something to make him feel guilty and have to rethink his decision.
Zach Pohlman i think what he meant really was the "could be another set piece, didn't had to be another burning building".
The burning building scene in 2 parallels the burning building in the first one, it’s absolutely necessary for the set piece to be the same. It’s to remind us that Peter is the hero, not Spider-Man, and to reinforce Peter’a guilt that he could’ve done more.
Jplp5643 I personally agree with the statement, but everyone has their own taste.
U didnt need to say a long speech about it but i agree
I will never forget the CHILLS I had when MJ learns that Peter is Spider Man. This is hands down my favorite superhero movie of all time, yes more than The Dark Knight. It just means more to me and still holds up so well today.
That burning building scene is one of the most pivotal moments in the film. Peter finally attempts to save others again without his powers. Unfortunately he learns an important life lesson that no matter how much he tries, he can’t save everyone. I’m always gutted when hearing that he didn’t save the person on the upper floor.
I'm pretty shocked Chris didn't go into depth at the emotional sacrifice of Octavius
to make it better i believe he should've had more scenes which at least showed some form of self-reflection it felt kinda abrupt when it happened or maybe its just me.
I dont see how people think ASM1 & 2 are better than the first 2 rami films
the first one isn't really that bad asm2 is super awful though
+What ;-; agreed.
+Noah Caboose Well, its easy. People (like me) feel they wrote Peter better, have better acting, and all around capture the character better.
+What ;-; Way to generalize and insult people.
John Cunningham I don't think they're terrible what so ever. And all I can say about the "classic PP" comment is...we must read different comics because the Peter I know is nothing like the Peter in the Raimi films.
1. Spider-Man: A+
2. Spider-Man 2: A+
3. Spider-Man 3: B
4. TASM: B-
5. TASM 2: D+
@Confessions Of A Movie Freak before homecoming came out
I feel like burning building scene was affective for the movie because Peter finds out someone died in the building when he knows if he was Spider-Man, he could've saved everyone.
The train scene when Spiderman looses his mask wouldn't work on these days because everyone would whip out their phones and tag Peter on Facebook :P
Matías Soto López ikr😂 it was so nice of the people in the train to keep his identity a secret
Maybe have a battle where Peter or the enemy use an emp. Then when Peter passes out they can't record or something
I think Spiderman 2 is not only the best of the three, but it is also better than the two Amazing Spiderman movies. A couple of weeks ago I watched it again and realized how good of a film is it. And it is one of the best filmed Sam Raimi's movies, highly creative , the use of light and shadows (the hospital scene) , the editing and camera works, the script overall and the strongest Spiderman villian ever put in film.
+carmaj156 Hahaha I wrote this before watching the review... Sorry guys, my bad. At the end I just ended up repeating what Chris just said.
I think it's the greatest superhero film ever made. The Dark Knight gets boring at times and the action isn't as good as this movie. Also The Dark Knight is trying to hard to be emotional and serious while Spider-Man 2 was somehow able to be serious while being fun.
It really doesn't but I don't feel like arguing with you
Watched this for the first time in 15 years, it’s still awesome
Alfred Molina was fantastic as doc ock I don't see anyone else doing doc ock
I never saw Spider-Man 2 in theaters but I saw it when it came on DVD and I loved it but I love Spider-Man 2.1 the best because it got Spider-Man right. It's my favorite Spider-Man movie of all time.
What do you mean got it right?
2 and 2.1 aren't that different
2.1 just has extra scenes
Harri927 I don’t like 2.1 it doesn’t flow as good as 2. Besides the awesome extended fight scenes. The J Jonah scene is funny when his being Spider-Man but it does not fit.
@@scottsummers8336 My dad used to take me to see
the movie in theaters when I was four years old
when this movie made its debut on June 12th, 2004,
which I believe is this movie's release date.
ANOTHER review of this movie, and still nobody mentions that fact that MJ basically just LEAVES A DUDE STANDING AT THE ALTER! Who the hell DOES that?! I can see if dude was an assclown, but from the little we saw of him, he seemed like a pretty decent a guy....and a f*cking ASTRONAUT! who leaves an ASTRONAUT at the alter?! O_O
Yea that's why I never liked her character. Especially after the whole play thing.
Call me crazy but Gwen Stacy from TASM was a much better chick to have to deal with than the Mary Jane they put in this movie.
I MEAN ITS LIKE THE BITCH WAS HAD PMS THE WHOLE SERIES. Fuckin leaves the rich guy for SPIDERMAN then FUCKIN COMPLAINS WHEN HE HAS TO GO BE A SUPERHERO! AND THEN EXPECTS HELP WHEN HER DUMBASS GETS CAUGHT BY A VILLAIN FOR 467TH TIME!
I'm sorry my old kid self had to vent real quick. You shouldn't have had to read that. But seriously, fuck Mary Jane...
+Kool Keith Productions I agree, that's a horrible thing to do. At least he'll have no trouble finding another girl.
+Kool Keith Productions You have an amazing name.
+Kool Keith Productions
Umm... yeah, that's a terrible thing to do. But... at least Kirsten Dunst completely redeemed herself with Fargo.
+Kroatowa i like Gwen a LOT more than MJ. for me they're not even incomparable 😂 i hope MJ isn't this selfish in the comics.. i never read spiderman comics so idk about her character
Spider-Man 2 was the first movie I ever saw more than once in the theater. I was 10 years old and I loved this movie so much, I had to see it again. Though the first movie has aged a bit and does have a lot of flaws ( still a solid flick, though), Spider-Man 2 still holds up well to this date and is among my favorite superhero movies of all time.
Loved the Sam Rami Spider-Man series...
Man it's a tragedy that Sam Raimi left after 3.He knew his shit about comics and film making and now he's gone and probably never coming back.Then we got two pretty average films and squandered talent (Andrew Garfield)
Sebastian Fitzptraick he’s in talks to direct doctor strange 2
I have some good news for you...
Otto Octavious>>>>>Every other MCU villain.
Green goblin?
+Kako Mohammed Technically neither are apart of MCU, but yea they are amazingly better!
+Kroatowa tbh the ASM villians still have more charisma and motivation than the majority of the MCU cardboard cut-outs
+91MoonKnight
Can't disagree, outside of Loki most MCU aren't that great. It is one of the things you just have to deal with.
+91MoonKnight Do kilgrave and Wilson Fisk from the Netflix series count?
"you either die a hero or live to become the villain" - Harvey Dent
The burning building scene was important. It showed peter is a hero at his core. Saved the child even when he didn’t have any powers.
Yeah I don't get why he doesn't like that scene. It's great.
Tobey Maguire is a better Spider-Man than Andrew Garfield. Shoot me.
Na. He was a better peter Parker. Andrews Spider-Man was better.
+jeffzalonka I just never got into Garfield's performance. Not sure why, but I liked Maguire as both. Maybe some day I'll change my opinion though
Tobey portrayed Peter Parker the best. Andrew portrayed Spider-Man the best.
I've read the comics and that's how I feel about the two.
+Mark Devlin *shoots*
+Lance Clearman punk rock? What movie were you watching? Lol
6:00- "A director who just says 'This is my style. Deal with it.'" Yes to this a thousand times!!! That's how filmmaking should be, especially with large-budget films. Directors and writers should be allowed to fulfill their visions for a grandiose story with minimal studio interference. That's how you really reach an audience, by being true to your creative sensibilities.Today everything is so committee-driven and monitored that scenes like the hospital massacre and the "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" wouldn't make the cut because the higher-ups think it's "weird" or "out of place".
Sean Billington Well the MCU is like that now which is kinda sad because Disney forces directors to go with same tone as the rest of the MCU and you can't get a movie that really truely shines
I feel like Ant Man was like that in a small sense, because no other movie before in the saga was so silly and tongue in cheek. I truly enjoyed it as a stand alone film
I'm rewatching this modern classic this weekend. One of the best comic book movies ever.
I watch the first one last weekend and watch the second this weekend. This was a very beautiful story and they made an incredible film...
spider man 2 is the best spider man movie ever made!!!!
And best superhero movie ever made
Yes
Spiderman 2 is still the best.
People saying great review while the videos only been up for 5 minutes.
your name is amazing xD
Just the people who go to the end of the video to see the rating he gives and see if it's the rating they want.
+Mike Tython XD XD XD XD YOUR NAME IS THE BEST! XD XD XD XD
+Mike Tython fuck off bloke
+Mike Tython they could've been 5 minutes into it and liked it already
I think I am the only one that really enjoys Spider-man 3.
+Joshmanvideos No. I liked it too. Not as good as 1 or 2 but still not the horrible thing people make it out to be.
It's okay just not great.
Yeah I change the channel whenever it's on lol
Says the person with a frozen picture
Skelebros Games Good one
Once you get past the initial disappointment, it's still another Raimi Spider-Man movie, and I really enjoy it.
I think the burning building scene is essential. It shows that Peter will always be Spider-Man. He's a hero. That's the kind of man he's become. It's a part of him now. And this realization paves the way for his return as the web slinger.
Watched this yesterday, after seeing No Way Home. Haven't seen it in probably more than 10 years. DANG that's a great flick. Still looks like it could've been made yesterday. Alfred Molina as Doc Ock is absolutely awesome. One of my favorite villain performances ever. Just crushed it.
Spider Man 2 is the best marvel movie ever hands down even though I'm not a marvel fan
Never seen it only 3 marvel movies
+WWE TV-14 no its just you
Guys should I change my profile pic cause that was me 1 year ago
TriCop sure
ok
1. Spider-Man 2.1 (Yes, they made an Unrated version)
2. Spider-Man
3. Spider-Man 3
4. The Amazing Spider-Man
5. The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Christmas World exactly
Christmas World I didn't really dig 2.1s additions, I thought the added train stuff actually hurt the awesomeness of the battle and a few scenes dragged down the pace immensely.
Christmas World yep
Have you guys seen the recently released Spider-Man 3.1? I like that version a lot more than the original as well :D
Christmas World where is homecoming on the list now
I watched it a few days ago and I can say with certainty that it gets better every time I watch it. To this day it is still the best super hero movie ever made.
Sam Raimi has this unprecedented knack for getting us into the emotional mindset of an imaginary character on screen. Its not about what is actually happening, or what the audience feels is happening but what the main character emotionally feels is happening.
I dont know of any other filmmaker that pulls this off so well.
Also concerning your criticisms here are my views;
1. I think MJ really loves Peter and its clearly not the first time he missed her show. She has trouble believeing in herself and is really sad and angry when Peter disappoints her. Think of a daughter whose father who she loves always fails and embarasses her.
2. I think Aunt May:
- either is a little happy that Peter protected himself. She does not want him to be reckless
- knows Peter from before and isnt really surpirsed he seems weak and cowardly but still loves him and knows he has a good heart
- Or maybe she sort of knew he was spiderman… which is why her "backtalk" after they beat Doc Ock seems plausible because she seems to be patronising a bit, like an aunt who is annoyed at her nephew who she knows is lieing to her.
3. The fire house and kid saving is both to have some action but also to show that Peter is still spiderman inside. Still wants to selflessly help out. Its foreshadowing that he will never be able to stop being spiderman
The absolute best Spider-Man movie. Fuck Amazing Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man 2.
There is no amazing spiderman 3...
TASM 2 > SM 2
+sonicbluray TASM3 didn't happen...
but I'm glad it didn't
+Hannibal your a DUMBASS
#StopTASMHate
I think that the burning building scene does have a place in the movie because Peter finding out that someone died because he failed to act was the catalyst for his rethinking on whether he should become Spider-Man again.
Spider-man 2 is my all time favorite super hero movie. It's not the best (that is arguably reserved for The Dark Knight) but it is my favorite. My favorite scene that you didn't touch on but a little bit; was when he finally stops the train. Right before jumping on the front of the train, his mask get's damaged and he has to remove it. After that, he has no issues with showing his face to the passengers on the train. What's really interesting is that he so easily falls into that. The theme of the film is that he is having issues as to who he wants to identify. Spider-man or Peter Parker. In that one moment, he stopped caring if people see his face or not. He made the decision to be Spider-man.
It is better than the dark knight
top five ever
1. The Dark Knight
2. Spiderman 2
3. Captain America the Winter Soldier
4. The Guardians of the Galaxy.
5. Iron Man 1
same and X Men Days Of Future Past would also go there in my opinion.
+Deric James
I didn't like that one to much.
Garen Gasparovic all film is subjective and I respect that.
+Deric James
I like X-Men 2
Garen Gasparovic that's cool and it's pretty tie with Days Of Future Past and First Class in my opinion and X Men 2 is really good.
Still the best Spiderman movie ever made.
Not even close either.
+Landon Bangerter what is the best spidey movie then?
+mounir maged Not so my friend.
+Screen Guy I think you may have misread/misinterpreted my comment.
Solomon Cooper nooo best movie ever this movie needs 13 oscars that much i love spidey
6:34 I disagree with you on that. The reason why they shot that scene was for Peter to sort of get back into it. Could he be able to live with himself if he let a kid die like that? NO! And after he saves the kid, he finds out that someone was in there while he saved the kid. That gives him the spark to be Spider-Man again
This movie is the BEST Spider-Man film of all time. One of the best films of all time. One of the best comic book films of all time.
The second greatest superhero movie of all time, #1 of course being The Dark Knight
I think we can all agree those are #1 and 2
What about avengers, days of future past and winter soldier?
+Frselrey Garcia in my opinion they're in the top 5 though.
+juanandlife Both are overrated as hell. Which makes me THAT guy, I guess. But it's how I feel.
The Dark Knight isn't a Superhero film, but that's my order if we're talking comic book films.
Yooooo the Spiderman 2 video game was insane!
Nick Bruce omg it was but I could never get past the bit were you have to swing to the Statue of Liberty as a kid
Beastgaming FTW ME NEITHER OMG
I still play it on my old PS2 sometimes
I always saw the burning building scene as a way of showing that Peter still has a deep rooted urge to help, he just can't sit back and let things happen, so we see him intervene and struggle without his powers.
The burning building scene is actually a character defining moment. It shows that Peter is a hero with or without his powers and has a kind heart which makes him help people even when his powers are suppressed due to mental conflict. It reflects back to the burning building scene in the first movie where he helps save a child while having his powers but he helps save the kid in the sequel too even when his powers are lost thereby showing that he is still the hero, with or without his suit & powers.
Good thing he brought out the Spiderman 2 game! For me it's one of my favorite open-world games! Still play it on the PS2.
Anon E. Mus I could never get past the bit were you have to swing to the Statue of Liberty as a kid
WIll spiderman 3 be a hilariocity?
+Ridley the pirate It's not bad enough.
TheBrownTown008 It's pretty damn bad.
It's an atrocity but not hilarious.So it's not a hilariocity sadly...
+Ridley the pirate
But it's not THAT bad. lol
It's a sub-par movie with moments of good stuff. It's not quite bad enough to be hilarious. I'd give it a C+.
+TheBrownTown008 The bar scene, the swag walk, and the script were all pretty cringeworthy.
I know the dark knight is the best comic book movie but this is an a+
Cinema Max Batman Begins>The Dark Knight
I still tear up while watching Spiderman 2. It's a very human story.
the Amazing Spider Man 2 with Andrew Garfield is the worst spiderman movie
He was a great Spider-Man but a poor Peter Parker
@@e84fresh nah he sucked as spiderman as well
Around 10:10 when Chris is discussing MJ taking a stance against Peter's "I don't want you to be with me... I have enemies" thing...
Made me think of that brilliant, cringe-worthy scene in Whiplash where Andrew breaks up with Nicole. Except that Andrew isn't a superhero... he's a jazz drummer... so Nicole's not in any danger.
+John Cunningham Cringey for the characters.
+AlanKey86 but he's mr. fantastic
+AlanKey86 I'd say it was meant to be cringe-worthy, because it was supposed to put across how driven and crazed Andrew in his quest to better drummer. To be honest, he had no real reason to break up with Nicole. Even in the scene itself, Nicole found it ludicrous. And it would bite Andrew in the ass later when he finds out that she moved on and found a new boyfriend.
But I think its a good scene because, there are people who are crazy enough to do something like that in real life. People who would throw away money, family, even love, for the sake of pursuing perfection/professionalism.
+jigyoda But the way he goes about it shows how immature he is as a person, no matter how brilliant he is as a musician. It doesn't just prove he shouldn't be in a relationship at the time because of his passion for music, it proves he shouldn't be in a relationship because he's not mature enough for one in general. That scene says a lot about him as a character, not just how dedicated he is to his art.
I guess we both interpret the scene differently, which is the beauty of films.
This movie is a character piece. Not just a super hero movie. Theirs intent and depth behind every character.
The music even tells the story by itself. It’s a cinematic masterpiece.
Uh.. Mary Jane is not pissed because he didn't show up to her play. She's pissed because he flaked too many times in two years and he promised he'd always be there for her.
I can't wait to hear your spiderman 3 review. I actually enjoy that film despite its flaws and I hope u give credit where credit is due and give it at least a c+
meh c- at best lol.
+Kroatowa Nah it has great character moments and lines.
"I protected you in highschool but now I'm gonna kick your little ass!" XD
+thibaldus3 Lol who can forget that great line! XD
+Jedi21366 I would give it a B-, it's such an underrated movie.
That Guy yep
That hospital scene really scared me as a kid, not hating on the scene, as that was clearly the intention, but gosh did it get to me. I have to say, Spider-Man 2 is easily my favorite superhero movie.
Spiderman 2 is still the best spiderman movie of all time!
This is why I'm excited for Doctor strange 2. With Raimi directing, this could be one of the best MCU films, if not the best. All Feige has to do is let Raimi work his magic.
He didn't save everyone in that burning building scene.
He saved a little girl.
yea I gotta disagree with Chris on this one,that scene nudged him back in the direction of becoming spiderman again
+The Summer Soldier But somebody else died in the fire.
+TheVideoInvader The point of the scene was to show that Peter is a hero, that he just has to help those in need. It also shows that as Peter he is just human and can't help them all. That's when he realizes he needs to become Spider-Man again.
He couldn't he lost his powers at that scene.
Please review Watchmen.
Fuck yes! the Ultimate Cut though :DDD
I've waiting forever for Watchmen review.
Yes! I don't care if people call it depressing, overly long, too many plot-elements or the ending/tone being the same as the original comic.
You're locked in here with me.
yeah I want to hear his opinion
It's still the best Spider-Man film
Really disagree with your take on the burning building scene. It shows that it’s in Peter’s nature to help people. Whereas before he’d help people out of obligation to uncle Ben, this scene shows that saving people is who HE is even without the powers
The fact the octopus arms are practical fx blew my mind
