I honestly prefer the webs to be one of his powers too I actually prefer it over mechanical because it never made sense that he got all the other powers but didnt get the ability to shoot webs
@@sharpaycutie2 Because in the original comic books Peter Parker created his own set of mechanical web shooters since the spider that bit him didn't grant the ability to shoot his own webs. Just Spider-Sense and Wall Climbing.
Spider-Man 2 is still the best film in this trilogy, but I'd still rather watch this over those TASM movies. Hell I even liked this more than Far From Home, but I respect your opinion Matt.
I grew up on the 60s Spiderman cartoon and read the 70s and 80s comic . So for me this Spiderman is the closest to that , other then a few things like the Web shooters and the Green Goblin . Aunt May is perfect . Jonah Jameson perfect.
I disagree with just about everything you said in the video. To each their own. I respect your opinion. How you feel about this is how I feel about End of Days where Arnold gets his ass kicked by an old woman and a guy falls to pieces as if he were made of porcelain in horrendous cgi
A woman affected by the devil & in which Arnold slammed her down thru glass and impaled her neck with glass. And a film where Arnold is shooting machine guns and grenade launchers at the devil's minions and the devil himself. To each their own.
@@ramboraph4life personally I love this movie it was my introduction to Spiderman along with the 1990s cartoon I personally I like Tobey Maguire still great video though love your opinion this video I just much better then those fucking terrible nostalgia critic videos he just him manipulate information scenes to make them feel awkward and just making nitpicks instead of giving his opinion on the movies
Growing up as a Spider Man fan and religiously watching the 90s animated series, this movie was a big deal for me. I was 10 and this and X-Men 2 years earlier was my first big event movies of my life. The movie was a big deal obviously. Saw it in the theater and loved it. The film nowadays, it still holds up for me. It’s not one of my top favorite superhero films anymore because since 2002 I’ve seen superhero films even better, but I still highly enjoy this film and it’s still my 2nd favorite spider man movie out of all of them. The only thing that doesn’t hold up for me is Kirsten Dunst. I don’t think her acting is the problem and no offense to her but Mary Jane to me is suppose to be a supermodel drop dead gorgeous type of girl and not bitchy and Kirsten isn’t that. We agree there but the rest of the film we agree to disagree.
15:22 had me ROLLIN haha 😂 Takin a piss lol I understand all your complaints as I too thought Toby McGuire was way too nerdy/soft for Spider Man. However, I do really enjoy this movie! Probably due to Willem Defoe's portrayal as Green Goblin. Love that actor! To bad he acts under a silly helmet, he already looks like a goblin! Sheesh... lol
I remember being pretty annoyed at the movies by Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane Watson and Tobey Maguire's crying and difficult relationship talking and stuff...get a grip you two! But, as a whole, this is one of my more favorite Spider-Man movies.
He only cried one 2 occasions in one movie and that was the third. Its a trend that caught on years later to complain about "crying" I don't believe for one second that was ever an issue for you.
@@nordicwarrior5014 Maybe not completely crying, but he sure as hell was depressing to look at a lot of times in the movie. Mary Jane Watson (aka Kirsten Dunst) was annoying and depressing a lot throughout the movie.
I love this film I can’t lie saw it when I was 5 years old in the theater and I can remember getting pizza after with my grandmother. It brings me back to better times. With that said Rambo you truly are the best reviewer on UA-cam. Even when I disagree you always make the reviews and rants entertaining. When you called Kristin Dunst Kristen **** I about fell off my chair and when you left the room😂. Never change man keep up the great work.
I really don't get this crying narrative. He cries one time and is when his uncle and father figure dies right in front of him. There is not a single person alive who would not cry in that situation. The rest of the movie he never cries once.
Watch Spider-Man 3. That film alone will tell you the crying narrative. Plus the dopey look on his face for all 3 flicks looks like he wants to cry in quite a few scenes.
How about this for a "Spider-Man" film? Let's say it's made in 1984 and it's directed by Steven Spielberg. It stars Scott Baio as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Ally Sheedy as Mary Jane, Emelio Estevez as Goblin, William Zabka (Johnny from "The Karate Kid") as Peter's bully, & Charles Bronson as Peter's dad.
The way you feel about Toby Maguire in this movie is how I feel about Russel Crowe in Les Mis. There's so many actors they could've gotten to play Javert, and yet, they went with Russel Crowe, whose nothing more but a lifeless robot. Because I do not like Russel Crowe as an actor. Other than Master and Commander, I do not like Russel Crowe.
In your personal opinion what do you think of Russell Crowe in Gladiator. I think he was amazing in that 🙂 Yeah I also enjoyed Russell Crowe's performance in Master an Commander.
Russel Crowe is generally better suited for subdued acting roles. He tried giving that in Gladiator, not just because it was his strength in acting, but because he wanted to portray Maximus as someone who was less concerned with grabbing attention and more concerned with doing the right thing. The thing is, I don't like this trait for Maximus, because it makes his character relatively static throughout the movie. It makes "Gladiator" a cathartic movie about a man whose morals are put to the ultimate test, rather than a satisfying revenge movie.
I used to love this film. I saw it in theater on opening weekend and I watched it countless times as a kid. That being said, as I got older the more I saw the film, the flaws became way more evident. And now, the film honestly is a below average disappointing comic book blockbuster. I also don't like the 50's or 60's aesthetic or vibe of the film. I also don't care for Tobey Maguire as Peter/Spidey, and as much as I like Sam Raimi his whole take on this film is cheesy with a capital C. And I don't like using that word either. But this film honestly fits that term so well. I hated how the Goblin was represented with the Power Rangers villain suit and Dafoe is a great actor when he is reined in. But this is not it. And it shows how Dafoe is a total cringe lord when he is let loose on the screen. The action other than a few bits here and there is lackluster. For a multi million dollar film it seems like it's almost a cable movie in terms of its size and scope(It has not aged well at all.) Raimi's direction is slick and stylish and from a technical standpoint it's great. But it's very hollow when it comes to the cornball tone. I disagree about Elfman's score being forgettable though. I still think it's a great score. Forgettable to me is the scores for Homecoming or the TASM films. I thought Elfman's score was one of the few things that still held up with this film other than the spider-suit and some of the visual effects. Rosemary Harris was such a a sweetheart as Aunt May, Cliff Robertson was the perfect cinematic Uncle Ben, J.K's J.J was a riot, Macho Man's cameo was a lot of fun, and James Franco was solid too. But Tobey McGuire was way too dopey and Opie for Peter or Spider-Man, DaFoe was a laughable joke as the Goblin with zero intimidation factor, and Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane was a wet sock and had zero chemistry with Tobey. It's just one of those films for me that once the nostalgia wears off it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I also grew up reading 90's Spider-Man comics and this just isn't the Spider-Man I personally prefer or love. And the closest I have seen to that Spidey to date is honestly TASM 2. The movie was a mess. But Spider-Man in that film was wise cracking(Genuinely funny) and was a totally believable hero and he was actually cool. The Spider-Man in this film is not cool. He's far too nerdy and closer to Clark Kent than anything else. And that's not who Peter is. I honestly don't get the pass this film gets to this day from Spider-Man fans. It doesn't hold up. The web crumbles away and it falls plummeting to the ground every time I watch it.
You don't like the word: "Cheesy". That's sorta like how I don't like the word: "Pretentious". And just so you don't think I'm weird, I'm being serious. I really don't like the word: "Pretentious". Mainly because it's a word that I feel is often misused. Most people use that word to describe movies that they feel have too many ideas. But the actual definition of pretentious is: "Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc. than is actually possessed." And really the only movie I can think of that fits that definition is: "Pocahontas".
Speaking of the finale. I always felt it was disappointing. The whole Batman Forever 2.0 thing with Mary Jane and a tram full of people, and then the incredibly lame final fight between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin where Spidey spends most of the fight getting his ass beat. Yeah. That's what people want to see in the finale. Spider-Man, the lead hero getting his ass kicked for 98 percent of the final fight. At least have Spidey get more licks in at the very least. He throws the brick wall down and maybe punches Goblin once and that was it.
@Elvira Romano He's obviously just saying that because he heard Franco auditioned for spider man. No one can imagine him at the start of the movie chasing the bus.
@@ramboraph4life I understand u disliking spider tears but I know this movie well enough to know you're pretty much lying about the CGI. Where in the final fight, burning building scene or most of the swinging scenes, do the oscar nominated special effects not "hold up " well.
I don't think this film holds up as much as it use to and I honestly think we've had so many better spiderman films since the first sam raimi film, the first amazing spiderman I think is way better than this and nice job on the video Matt!
The CGI effects in Spiderman aren't that great eh? Well, that's too bad since they were done by: "Sony Imageworks", who in the same year this movie came out, animated Stewart, Maragalo, and The Falcon in Stewart Little 2, and then created their very first animated short: "The Chub-Chubs", which was prior to screenings of Men in Black 2.
You know what's even worse. The fact these were Oscar and bafta nominated effects as well and the fact that most of the hand to hand fight scenes don't even use CGI so what are these people complaining about ?
As for my opinion on this movie, I like it okay, but I do acknowledge that it is a stupid movie. But I do like it. The best way I can describe the movie is... popcorn. It's a popcorn movie. Is it a masterpiece? No, but... it's good mindless entertainment.
I like how you're showing all the behind the scenes stuff from the first Spider-Man movie. That's why I love DVD and Blu Ray. You won't see any of this extra stuff on streaming. As for the movie, it is pretty dated but everything will be dated eventually, that's how time works. In the extra features they actually had a practical Green Goblin costume that was comic accurate. But they scrapped it for that stupid power suit. And I get why you don't like Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker. He kinda went over board with the emotions, but I think that was the point. I'll definitely take Tobey Maguire over Iron Boy Tom Holland any day.
I do enjoy this movie, It's definitely not for everyone and I do see where you are coming from, when I think of spider-man I think of the 90s cartoon incarnation but with that being said I do like the film. It's very 2000s but I kind of appreciate it even if not everything holds up and the some terrible moments that can be pointed out, I like Maguire in the film yea he's not the definitive version of the character but I do like his portrayal in this and the second film, He was the perfect nerd especially in the beginning, I'd have to disagree on this being the best costume of all the films, to me the best costume is the one from TASM 2, granted that's the worst spider-man film but I do think that's the best costume put to film. Willem Dafoe I thought was good, granted the costume lets him down but I like the performance. Now I'm not saying this is the best superhero film ever, heck it's not even one of my favorites, not the best spider-man film as I think Spider-Man 2 and Spiderverse are the two best and in terms of the paving the way for superhero films after their decline in the late 90s (aside from Blade) I like this film a lot more than X-Men from 2000, I actually like this film where that film is just there for me. Nevertheless good job on the review Matt
Personally I enjoy this film, yeah its cheesy but for the first Spider-man it needed to take cues from its roots and not having that 60s aesthetic would be like Superman the movie not having a 30s aesthetic , even though it takes place in the 70s. I do agree however that Kristen Dunst was the weakest character in this trilogy and the concept art for the Goblin suit were a lot better than the one we got and should have used them for 3. As for the tone of the sequels they really needed to get out of that 50/60 aesthetic and explore other eras of Spider-man like the 70s, 80s, and 90s comics in order for the characters (especially Peter and MJ) to evolve. P.S. Organic webbing was for the time canon in the main Marvel Universe, making its debut in 2004, the same year Spider-man 2 was released, however it was taken away due to the infamous 2007 story line One More Day (also know as the story where SPIDER-MAN BEING A DUMB ASS BY IN MAKING A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL TO SELL HIS MARRIAGE TO SAVE HIS AUNT!), which ironically debut during the same year as the release Spider-man 3. Yeah 2007 was a horrible year for Spider-man fans.
Yeah this film Ages poorly I liked it years ago but the 2 times nowadays I tried watching it I got bored just not a good adaption of Spiderman and Tobey yeah i wasn't big on him as Spiderman I think his performance in brothers was much better
As for Mary Jane, I think Hollywood has a bias against redheads. They take blonde actresses and dye their hair red. Then in Spider-Man 3 they took Bryce Dallas Howard, a natural redhead, and bleached her hair blonde. These movies and their casting are fuckin ridiculous 😂
Great Rant Matt, personally I Love Spider-Man 1 & 3 those are some of my favorite Films in the franchise & some of my favorite Superhero Films, Great Action, Well Directed, Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe, J. K. Simmons, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church, Cliff Robertson & Rosemary Harris did a Good Job, My Only Issue with the Sam Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy, was they could've taken Kirsten Dunst's Character out, cause I didn't like her character she was Written to be a Bitch to Tobey Maguire's Character, I wouldn't mind her character if she was Written to be More Caring & Likable, but thats my Only Flaw, Spider-Man 2 I wasn't a fan of cause I thought it felt Slow At Times, I didn't find the Story that interesting, Tobey Maguire did a Good Job in Spider-Man 2 & the other Actors Too, Solid Villain, I didn't the movie focused too much on the relationship with Tobey Maguire & Kirsten Dunst, I don't like Kirsten Dunst she Sucks as an Actress, its an Overrated Sequel IMO, even though I Love Spider-Man 1 & 3, I Still Loved your Rants Matt Great Job
15:22-16:38 LAMO!!!! 29:46 You do the accent so ''FUCKING WELL'' LOL! 34:18 So true! A amazing job bro I always love whenever you talk about the Spiderman character because just like you when you talk about Rambo&The Ninja Turtles it shows how munch you love the characters and all you ask for them to be given the right ''FAN SERVICE'' and your honest respectable about it and that's what makes you a real ''A NO SHIT KIND OF GUY'' in the words of Joey O'Brien/Robin Williams90 LOL
I respectfully disagree. I always did & still do adore this Spiderman & it's sequel. Although I completely agree that Tobey Maguire was definitely 'Meh'. There probably could've been better people for the role.
Finally someone who doesnt kiss Sam ramis ass these films fucking suck theyre overrated tripe I never liked em even back in the day toby was an awful Peter Parker and wilem Dafoe as the goblin is laughable just soo fucking over the top he'd fit right in batman and robin also the effects of this film suck and havent aged well at all
Haha 😄. The fx are 90 % practical in the fight scenes so sorry if they look too real that they suck. And ofc they also use live action footage for the swinging scenes
I honestly prefer the webs to be one of his powers too I actually prefer it over mechanical because it never made sense that he got all the other powers but didnt get the ability to shoot webs

With Ernest Borgnine playing Doc Oc in the sequel, and in the 3rd film They cast Arnold as Sandman and Anthony Michael Hall as Venom

I do agree however that Kristen Dunst was the weakest character in this trilogy and the concept art for the Goblin suit were a lot better than the one we got and should have used them for 3. As for the tone of the sequels they really needed to get out of that 50/60 aesthetic and explore other eras of Spider-man like the 70s, 80s, and 90s comics in order for the characters (especially Peter and MJ) to evolve.
P.S. Organic webbing was for the time canon in the main Marvel Universe, making its debut in 2004, the same year Spider-man 2 was released, however it was taken away due to the infamous 2007 story line One More Day (also know as the story where SPIDER-MAN BEING A DUMB ASS BY IN MAKING A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL TO SELL HIS MARRIAGE TO SAVE HIS AUNT!), which ironically debut during the same year as the release Spider-man 3. Yeah 2007 was a horrible year for Spider-man fans.
Yeah this film Ages poorly I liked it years ago but the 2 times nowadays I tried watching it I got bored just not a good adaption of Spiderman and Tobey yeah i wasn't big on him as Spiderman I think his performance in brothers was much better
That early 2000s CGI didn't help either 😆
Even though I think I like this more than you I completely agree with your stance on Toby McGuire in this movie.
Hey Matt, did you ever listen to Weird Al's parody song about this movie? "Ode to a Superhero"?
As for Mary Jane, I think Hollywood has a bias against redheads. They take blonde actresses and dye their hair red. Then in Spider-Man 3 they took Bryce Dallas Howard, a natural redhead, and bleached her hair blonde. These movies and their casting are fuckin ridiculous 😂
Great Rant Matt, personally I Love Spider-Man 1 & 3 those are some of my favorite Films in the franchise & some of my favorite Superhero Films, Great Action, Well Directed, Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe, J. K. Simmons, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church, Cliff Robertson & Rosemary Harris did a Good Job, My Only Issue with the Sam Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy, was they could've taken Kirsten Dunst's Character out, cause I didn't like her character she was Written to be a Bitch to Tobey Maguire's Character, I wouldn't mind her character if she was Written to be More Caring & Likable, but thats my Only Flaw, Spider-Man 2 I wasn't a fan of cause I thought it felt Slow At Times, I didn't find the Story that interesting, Tobey Maguire did a Good Job in Spider-Man 2 & the other Actors Too, Solid Villain, I didn't the movie focused too much on the relationship with Tobey Maguire & Kirsten Dunst, I don't like Kirsten Dunst she Sucks as an Actress, its an Overrated Sequel IMO, even though I Love Spider-Man 1 & 3, I Still Loved your Rants Matt Great Job
You probably wanna tell the extras in this movie: "SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP! GODDAMNIT!"
Plot twist: Tobey was the only spiderman who didn't cry in No Way Home
My favourite Tobey Maguire performance was in The Wizard, because his performance was a fleeting 30 seconds of screen time. More than he deserved.
For Peter they should of casted Ben Affleck ,Shia Lebeof, or Jake Gallenhal
Ben Affleck can't be convincing as a shy nerd
Shia LaBeouf ? 🤣
Ben affleck as a nerd… hell no.
Shia labeouf is awful. He would suck ass as Spider-Man
Jake is the only decent option out of the tree
Ben Affleck would been good as older Peter when when he was 20s or 30s
Yeah that would've been cool.
I also liked Ben Affleck as Batman.
Two leads sucked Tobey and Kristin . For Mary they should of casted a better looking hot woman.
i love this movie all 3 of them
the real green goblin is on the 1986 Maximum Overdrive Stephen King films that is on the front of the truck in the finale❤️🍎
15:22-16:38 LAMO!!!!
29:46 You do the accent so ''FUCKING WELL'' LOL!
34:18 So true!
A amazing job bro I always love whenever you talk about the Spiderman character because just like you when you talk about Rambo&The Ninja Turtles it shows how munch you love the characters and all you ask for them to be given the right ''FAN SERVICE'' and your honest respectable about it and that's what makes you a real ''A NO SHIT KIND OF GUY'' in the words of Joey O'Brien/Robin Williams90 LOL
Matt What do you think about all the movie tie in games for the Raimi trilogy on Xbox/PS2? Do you think they're better than the films?
I haven't played them.
Wow Matt, you seem to be a really big fan or normal people ending up in extraordinary situations.
I love this movie but it does have issues
I like it!
Tobey sucks realrap i agree
I respectfully disagree. I always did & still do adore this Spiderman & it's sequel. Although I completely agree that Tobey Maguire was definitely 'Meh'. There probably could've been better people for the role.
You sound bitter 😂😂😂
Finally someone who doesnt kiss Sam ramis ass these films fucking suck theyre overrated tripe I never liked em even back in the day toby was an awful Peter Parker and wilem Dafoe as the goblin is laughable just soo fucking over the top he'd fit right in batman and robin also the effects of this film suck and havent aged well at all
Ok boomer.
Haha 😄. The fx are 90 % practical in the fight scenes so sorry if they look too real that they suck. And ofc they also use live action footage for the swinging scenes
