Oliver Harper Wait will you still sell it to the people who didn’t support it,because I would to get it,but my mom would say I don’t trust any kickstarters.
Oliver Harper great review of Spider-Man 2 one of my favorite movie what’s going to be the next you going to review.
That is not Thomas Jane.
Great review! Can't wait to see your thoughts on Spider-Man 3
Oliver harper, Do a Young sherlock Holmes movie 1985 from Barry Levison review. This movie was released under Spielbberg's Amblin flag
Rosemary Harris as Aunt May is so adorable. I loved it when she said, “Shame on you,” to Doc Octopus and hit him with her umbrella, saving Spider-Man from getting stabbed.
Never much liker her.
Aunt May( when Spider-man had only saved kids from burning buildings and falling to their death, as well as scores of others from death and pain, and also saved Peter's friend Mary Jane from a super villain who had kidnapped her)" He's horrible."
Aunt May ( After Spider-man now has also saved HER)" Spider-man's a HERO!"
That always made me cringe.
@@daverobson3084 I read somewhere that she believed the stuff the daily bugle would say about spiderman. That might explain it.
@@roastbeef2335
Sure. SO she read the Bugle stuff about him being a menace, and the other media stuff about him being a HERO, but believed the menace part until he saved HER, but didn't care about all of the times she read about him saving other people( like that carriage full of CHILDREN from the first movie). Hell, she knew Mary Jane and we know that she was telling everyone how awesome Spider-man was and how he saved her life more than once by that time.
Why would that be. Why would someone only change their mind when they were recued, discounting all of the dozens( hundreds?) of other rescues that Spider-man had performed. Seems kind of self centered to me.
@@roastbeef2335
Also.
Referring to the OP.
The guy from the bank was A GUY FROM THE BANK. He would be expected to retrieve bank funds, so, her assuming that a man with the responsibility for recovering bank funds was stealing was quite the leap in logic.
Also, also. She didn't " save" Spider-man. He would have been fine. He never needed a septuagenarian with an umbrella to save him before.
@@daverobson3084 yeah, cos he was never diving headfirst into a 9 inch blade, also, who's words did Peter use to turn Doc good again when he was getting his ass kicked at the end, that's right, Aunt Mays.
I can’t get enough of Jameson in this film.
That laugh is the best.
Mr. Slim it makes me laugh every time.
You serious?
Ha Ha Ha Ha... get me more pictures of spiderman
The ultimate meme
Not quite my tempo...
WOAH, HE STOLE THAT GUYS PIZZA!
He took a Bagel!!!
I don't mind Danny's music sounding similar to Batman and darkman, I mean it's not like people can't tell that the composer of Indiana Jones, Star Wars and Superman are all done by John Williams. If the music works, then it works, and I think Elfman fits perfectly.
Do you remember this
Ever since I was six years old, this film has played a big part in my love of film and filmmaking. The best feeling in the world is when something you cherished as a child, becomes even better when you age. The structure, the emotions, the acting, it all comes together so beautifully in the finished piece.
AG Films I was the same age you are now when I saw this on release and felt the same way. Has more heart than any superhero movie in recent time
AG Films I was 4 going on five when I first watched Spider-Man 2. I had seen Spider-Man 1 in theaters and it was my introduction to superheroes and it’s the reason why Spider-Man is my favorite hero.
Are you a film maker today?
Or at least apart of movies?

Tobey Maguire will always be the greatest Spider-Man. He had that captivating charisma. X-Men (2000), Spider-Man (2002), X2 (2003) and Spider-Man 2 (2004) are brilliant movies. That was an amazing era
It was really
Exactly...those movies really laid the groundwork for the genre to be seen as something that can not only churn out entertaining blockbusters but also tackle weighty themes and star respected actors.
blade (1998) as well
xmen 1 and 2 ore complete and utter borefests and a shadow of what x men could be.. wait 4 years and youll see...
eh, I feel like the first Xmen was soso, I reckon if it came out now I'd be disappointed with it.
Spider-Man 2- still the best nearly 15 years later!
You know why that is, right?
@@Largentina. Sam raimi?
@@doburu4835 exactly
Stil the best 20 years later
When the new Spiderman movie came out there was a big bang of revisionist history all over the internet with regard to the quality of Spiderman 2. It was really odd. People really wanted everyone to unanimously agree that Homecoming was not only the best Spiderman film but also the best iteration of Spiderman ever. And to do that everyone was to damn the quality of Spiderman 2. "It was never really that good." "It was only good for the time." But that isn't true, it still really holds up. There's depth to the characters, a great story and acting, memorable moments, great action, ect.
I was 10 when Spider-Man 2 came out but growing up it was always my least favorite in the Raimi trilogy. I always liked the first movie more and SM3 was always my favorite. I wasn't aware that people hated Spider-Man 3 until 2012
I pretty much always disliked spiderman 2. I was called a fanboy for it. SO no, not all of us were being revisionist.
The quality of SM2 was never under question, they were just doing what stupid fanboys do. Homecoming thinks it's much better than it is and the MCU people really wanted us to forget the Raimi films despite them being amazing. Much like DC wanting you to forget Christopher Reeve and watch Justice League (ugh) so that the new version gets legitimacy.
How about making good films? That would give them legitimacy.
Spider-Man 2 was at the time, is now and probably always will the best superhero film ever made. It is light-years ahead of anything that came before or since.
@@thomasplummer8103 Must have been a lonely torch to carry, being one of the only people that didn't like that film. Each to their own, but damn is that out of step with how virtually everyone thought.
As much as I love Tom and his implementation into the MCU, I do feel people tend to go after the new hot thing. I remember how people really tried to argue the Amazing films as superior to Raimi's. The second the MCU Spidey happened, suddenly "Oh wait, THIS is the best Spider-man"! Like some insecure teen sucking up to their new boyfriends/girlfriends!
Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus is one of the all time great antagonist performances in a major blockbuster. The guy's an incredible actor, even with smaller roles he has in movies; Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc.
dude that boogie nights reference to the murders was one of my most favorite scenes in film history ever
😁 He's coming back
So good to see him in No Way Home
To this day, I will never forget being wowed by the "car crashing in to the coffee shop" sequence for the first time.
One of the best scenes in movie history imho.
For me personally, that scene was so wtf moment. Harry wanted Spider-Man. Octopus needed Peter to acquire the whereabouts of Spider-Man. Then Octavious goes and sees: "Ah yes, there's the guy I need to question. Facing his back to me, right behind the window, chatting with a girl." Then Octavious' tentacle whispers: "Now remember, he's the only lead we have on finding that pesky Spider-Man. You need him talking so you better assault and question him before he suspects anything." Then Octavious and tentacles have a sync-idea and as they are about to throw the car towards Peter's head, both of them have 1 last sync-remark to make: "I do hope he has Spidey-sense or else we're fu**ed."
Peter then got *hit* with the same line of reasoning and after his capture, instead of explaining Harry how his father's death was the aftermath of a murder attempt he pulls this cinematic "there're bigger things happening right now" bs. And then the trilogy continues without any major plot-holes (Saturday Night Peter in the 3rd doesn't count as he's only impulsively self-expressing via symbion)
@@anthonymcrooster3703 I think it was a combination of two things. Ock knew that he needed Spider-Man to show himself, so what better way than random terrorising of innocent people? He almost seems surprised by them surviving the car crashing through the window - it's highly likely he knew Spider-Man would show up once he did a few random villainous things.
The other thing is that it's possible he suspected once Parker survived (or even before) that he was Spider-Man, but wanted to confirm it before he took him to Osborn. Hence the capture of Mary-Jane, he knew Spider-Man, whether he was Parker underneath or not, would show up to save a hostage if he named a time and place.
Idk how satisfying the theory is, but it's better than thinking he tried to kill the only lead he had on Spider-Man's whereabouts.
Agree on the Harry thing - why didn't he immediately say 'your father was murdering people, tried to kill me with his glider but hit himself with it'? For me that would be more natural dialogue...and you wouldn't need the butler telling Harry in SM3 what Peter should've told him in about 30 seconds in the previous film. It's possible Peter really does feel as though he killed Norman and feels guilt that he died rather than being captured - he had the same guilt over the guy who he chases down and falls out of the window.
Peter was honoring Norman’s last wish, “Peter don’t tell Harry”, before his death. That’s why Peter wasn’t telling him his father was a murderer.
@@KRSsven The theory of Ock knowing or even suspecting Peter was Spiderman makes absolutely no sense considering he was shocked when his identity was revealed in the final battle.
Pizza time
whoa, he stole that guy's pizzas
GalicSpice Goooo!
GalicSpice I know a promise doesn’t mean much to you Parker. But to me it’s serious.
@generic generic f your shit
Rent?
Still the best Spider-Man movie to date. By far.
TheJoker27780 that’s funny
@@md03250 The truth sometimes is
I'd say best Superhero movie to date
not by far :/ it still beats homecoming by quite a bit but i have a feeling far from home is gonna blow it outta the park
Miles Morales laughs in a wierd color pallet
Tobey Maguire is my favourite Spiderman.
There’s a petition for Spider-Man 4 to be put back into production and be finished and released onto the big screen, I signed it and the last time I looked at it, it had nearly over 5,000 signatures, it is on a website called Change.org just google Spider-Man 4 petition and look for the link. The petition online has to reach at least 7,500 supporters.
@@lukevansteenlandt5853 will never happen sadly. Superhero movies cost lots of money and Disney certainly wouldn't want people getting confused at another live action spiderman movie happening.
Alex Marko Disney and Marvel Studios only got to put in Spiderman for the MCU because Sony pictures was willing to share the rights, Sony pictures still has primary ownership of the rights for Spiderman films, the petition is to convince Sony pictures as well as Sam Raimi to bring back Tobey Maguire and the original cast for Spiderman 4. Most people wouldn’t be confused because most people grew up with the original Sam Raimi trilogy and Sam Raimi’s Spiderman film franchise was the first that was ever made, Sam Raimi directed the first three Spiderman films like literally the first Spiderman movies that were ever put on the big screen. it might not be possible but then again there’s still a chance, there is still hope.
@@lukevansteenlandt5853 you know that marketing a family oriented superhero to exclusively 20＋year olds who grew up with the films is a bad idea, right? the last one was over 11 years ago.
oz pardo from your perception it is not a good idea but in reality it is a great idea, for example: Jurassic Park 3 was released in 2001, it was not as good as the original, and it was supposed to be the last of the Jurassic Park franchise but 12 years later, in 2015 we got Jurassic World which turned out to be a great sequel and it received great reviews as well as a 71% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Goosebumps and tears, great review. And thanks Stan and Steve for this marvelous character.
Spider -Ren10 You could never be more correct. Spider-Man is one of the greatest things to ever exist and Stan Lee and Steve Ditko will always have my respect as a fan. May they Rest In Peace.

Whenever you get to Spider-Man 3, don't forget to talk about the Editor's Cut.
GameStation3 Also the creepy sexual harassment scene that Peter did with Betty Brant.
Proud American you mean during the Emo scene with James Brown playing? I don’t think that was harassment she was into it
@@Operation_Bagel The only reason people call it "emo" is because of his hairdo. Nothing more. In fact, the word "emo" never entered the filmmakers's minds when deciding on that hairdo. Trust me, I talked to one of them.
GameStation3 Great. I don’t give a fuck
@@gamestation2690 They also call him emo because his suit turns black and he is consumed by the darkness of the symbiote
The new Spider-Man game clearly takes inspiration for Peter and Otto's relationship from Spider-Man 2.
One of the best superhero movie ever made
Not one of the best, THE BEST superhero movie ever ever made
For Stan Lee (1922-2018).
Great review as always but I gotta say, I have to disagree with you about the films score. I think it's one of the greatest superhero scores, and I've never felt that Elfman's work ever felt any more samey than say that of Williams or Zimmer. He knows to give it a different flavour when it's The Flash, The Avengers and Spider-Man as opposed to Darkman and Batman. Mind you I am a bit of a fan. especially with his work for Oingo Boingo.
James Box agree 100% film scores these days dont even have memorable leitmotifs anymore
Oh god no. It sounds so similar to Batman it's not even funny.
@@Bloodynine606 Danny Elfman sounding like Danny Elfman? Shocking!
He always criticises the score in the Raimi Spider-Man films for no reason - the main theme is instantly recognisable as Spider-Man's theme. I think it's because he doesn't consider it as good as the Superman films he loves (for some reason, I think they're awful in places) and thinks the scores in those films were better. I've always thought Oliver fanwanks too much over the old Superman films and puts down the Raimi films for sketchy reasons like effects or music. Maybe it's because Raimi used the same basic plot frameworks for the Spider-Man films as Superman and he resents that.
Fair enough, more people probably would recognise the Superman music...but most people on the planet know who Superman and Batman are. Spider-Man, not quite as ubiquitously known (close) and doesn't have as famous a piece of music. But that doesn't mean it's better, just more people recognise it.
I was 9 when this was released, and idk why but all that bad luck Peter had during the movie really hit me hard, even as a kid. His resolve made it so satisfying. MCU will never be this emotional.
No Way Home would beg to differ
@@owensreviews625 Nah.
Oh I think I had that McDonalds toy! I miss those days of happy meal merch!
I really enjoyed this review/retrospective, I hope that later on you will do a Spiderman 3 review/ retrospective.
Oh man do I have a video for you
Awesome video. I swear this channel is criminally underviewed
Spiderman 2 was freaking amazing! And the game was outstanding!
Hands down, one of the best Spiderman movies and video games! Great review, Oliver! Looking forward to the Spiderman 3 review! :)
Excellent video. Glad someone still respects this classic
Excellent video! for me Spiderman 2 is not only the best Spiderman movie, but also one of the best super hero movies!
@Ewan Callister well thats animated isnt it? i meant live actiony, but as far as animated super hero movies go Batman: Mask of the Phantasm takes some beating, plus i havnt seen Spider-verse yet either as its not out until tomorrow
@Ewan Callister Well im going to have to wait until i see it before i form an opinion on it, from the sounds of it you REALLY enjoyed it anyway
@Ewan Callister I'm going Spiderman 2 over the bus. Into the spider verse surpassing Spider-Man 2 wouldn't shock anyone. It wouldn't change some people's minds on Spider-Man 2. I love Spider-Man 2, and I wouldn't mind seeing a other Spider-Man movie surpassing It. But I will still love this movie.
I'd say one of the best films ever
Still the film that truly defined Spider-Man and what the whole character was about. One of the best superhero films of all time for a good reason. The train sequence where he lost his mask is so rewarding in how it ends.
What an awesome movie this was! Thanks so much for this incredible footage. Spider-Man 2 (2004) will always be my favorite of the Spider-Man movies! 😁😁😁
The most relatable and spectacular Spider-man movie.
Homecoming has got Nothing on this movie.

@@johnnyfive222 ok tell me why?
In part two, I always thought Aunt May knew Peter was Spiderman.
I like the idea of Peter later figuring out that the fusion reaction was unstable. He's a science whizz after all.
THIS. IS. A. PERFECT. FILM.
Edit: I'd say the Raimi Spider-Man movies are perfect (corniness and all), and kind of crap on everything being made today, but that's just like my opinion, man.
Please do a retrospective review of the rocky franchise
GREAT VIDEO!!! Also Avi Arad has continuously gotten in the way of all Spider-Man/Spider-Man-related projects and it's absolutely ridiculous at this point. It's a miracle that Raimi managed this masterpiece with all the restrictions placed on him
Your quick 5 minute recap of the movies you cover is some of the best editing ever in my opinion
Unpopular opinion, This movie is better than Homecoming.
Your right
Not unpopular.
Oliver, please please please do Rocky (1976) and gradually over time it’s sequels. I love your videos. I’d love to see detailed retrospectives of each. Thank you. I’ll donate for it 👍👍👍👍 your work is fantastic
This film's video game adaption was the absolute best superhero video game up until Arkham Asylum in 2009. Played it probably 6 times on the GameCube.
This film always brings me back to the time, 2004 was a massive turning point for me in various ways so that's possibly why. I'll always think of it and the 2002 original film as being important to me because of the times they remind me of. I first saw SM2 in Canada and it blew me away. Possibly because of the nostalgia, hearing the ending themes and seeing Spidey swinging through the city always brings tears to the eyes.
I love that Peter is at a low point in this film while MJ's career has taken off - it juxtaposes in a lovely way with SM3, when MJ's career has stalled, she's fired from her stage show and she has to see Peter as Spider-Man lap up all of the attention. I loved that for the third film they chose to show how famous Spider-Man has become - he's the New York celebrity now and has to cope with a jealous girlfriend. It's so sad to see Peter happy and oblivious to her frustration and anger over his innocent but in hindsight stupid choices, but also angering that she never actually explains things.
However, lay off the score Oliver. The main theme is amazing and instantly recognisable as Spider-Man's theme. These films helped prepare the way (along with X-Men) for the MCU, whether people realise it or not. We simply wouldn't have had the MCU if it weren't for the success of these earlier films proving that the genre worked on the big screen.
Agreed. I don't care about the score- only the story and acting.
But of course the music helps to really make a scene or movie ICONIC
It’s about time
My personal favorite Spider-Man movie. It is a shame we never got to see a Spider-Man 4, 5 or 6. We could have finally have seen Rami's vision of the Lizard, Mysteto, Vulture and Black Cat.
I agree with everything you said, except the score thing, cuz it's one of the best scores to date. All the feeling are there : fear, regret, bravery and ofc Responsability! I don't get how you didn't like it.
10:18 That’s not Thomas Jane. That’s his stunt double.
True, they didn't have the rights to use The Punisher at the time which is why Jane wasn't allowed to cameo.
The DVD commentary says that this cameo from The Punisher was intentional, but Jane couldn’t make it, so his stunt double filled in for him. Apparently, Hugh Jackman was going to have a cameo in the first film, but they couldn’t find his costume.
I still recall that early summer day walking out of that theater after the movie had ended. I was as lost as ever at that stage in my life. For all the bad hands Peter was dealt in both SM1 and SM2, just to see him finally have the girl of his dreams, the way he swung through New York in glee in the final shots, you’d swear he won the lottery - it drove home the message that true, obsessive, unconditional love really is more rewarding and satisfying than money or any other material wealth.. the movie made the 19 year old me really happy. It gave me a sigh of relief and hope for a better future almost no other superhero movie has done ever since, really. For all the guys praising dull, soulless, marvel movies while shitting on SM2, I wonder sometimes if we even live on the same planet. SM2 will be perfect in my eyes, it’s really a story that almost everyone can relate to, a universal story of love. This one movie alone beats almost every superhero movie ever produced by Disney combined.
You took a great deal from this film, at a time in your life when you really needed to, and I respect that. But perhaps a little more empathy towards those who may have taken something from the MCU at various times in their life, also. Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t there.
21:45 I recently used this Spider-Man theme for the background of a Miles Morales review haha
Great video - Really appreciated the amount of detail you went into!
That was my childhood movie back in 2004!
Best Spider-Man movie.
Alfred Molina is always good. Damn, Sam, let Danny do his thing.
Oliver, your intro to this one was great. Your edited intros have been great for ages, but this was the first time I've actually gone back and watched it again. Great work! Keep it up!
The ending with that music and when his friend said"Peter you killed my father" pfuu, got to me
I absolutely ADORE the Sam Raimi Spiderman trilogy
I didn’t even know there was a Michael buble Version if the spider man theme. When I found out about it I’ve been listening to it since you posted your review. Great as always Oliver and I can’t wait for the next one. Also good luck with ‘in search of the last action heroes’!
I just turned 19 when this movie came out. Snuck into the theater with some friends. As a young man with the world on his shoulders, I didn’t know what to do with my life. Worried and maybe nervous about my choices, the next couple hours watching this film put a smile on my face. It transformed me. I walked out buzzing with optimism, joy, feeling of amazement, romance, and hope. I will never forget that experience. To me, Spider-Man 2 is the perfect super hero movie. It’s small, down to earth, relatable to most men and women who ever get in love for someone they can’t have, perfectly paced with few flaws. What super hero film today can balance out all those elements and give you that feeling of being the little guy that Parker is yet instilling hope for a better future? The endless Dark Knight rip-offs and the cheap hollow Marvel slapstick comedy films don’t really stand up to SM2. The final minutes of the film still gives me jitters, all the burden and the weight that you felt as Parker are lifted. Empowered by love and hope, Spidey swings into the sunset anew, almost invincible. That’s a great feeling, that is literally what it’s like to be in love. That’s what makes SM2 timeless. No superhero film since have captured those universal emotions, no other superhero film has anything worth telling as SM2, no matter how cool or edgy they can make them these days.
I think the kiss between Mary Jane and Spiderman in the rain is one of the great moments in cinema!
Rob Gallant don't try it tho it destroyed my ceiling
I think it was voted best on screen kiss ever at the time.
It's in 4K now so it's a great re-watch.
Can we please bring Sam Raimi back to direct a Spider-Man movie for the MCU? Because, from all the Spider-Man movies I've seen since his movies were ditched, I feel like no one actually wants to understand what's so important about Spider-Man and all the other filmmakers just don't have a clue. Sam Raimi understood that schmaltz and sincerity is what makes a Spider-Man story. His movies did not need to point out how they are silly and the character is silly and it's just better to poke fun at everything. That's what Homecoming did, and that's what I did not like it. It botched so many moments that had the potential of being emotional and compelling. That ending really pissed me off as a Spider-Man fan, because I just love the moment from the comics where Aunt May finds out that Peter is Spidey, and it's all played with a straight face and a ton of heart, while the movie version just makes a comedy gag out of it. Yeah, you can always revert back to "But Spider-Man 3 was horrible, man." Maybe it was. But he still made the first two movies great. And if we're going to judge a director's capabilities based on his failures, then the guy who is currently handling the Spider-Man movies, John Watts, should've never been appointed to direct a Spider-Man movie, since his first feature film was pure poop.
@The Man, I disagree with you that it was the most "accurate" portrayal of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. The fact that Peter Parker started out as a sidekick of Iron Man defeats the point of Spider-Man. Go and read any interview with Stan Lee about the creation of Spider-Man. He always said that his main intent was to change the previous stereotypes about young superheroes, who were only sidekicks at that time, by making the first independent teenage superhero. That was the whole point. Spider-Man was alone and there was no one to mentor him, because he always kept his identity secret and did not reveal it to anyone, even other superheroes.
When will people realize that SM3 turned out the way it did because of Sonys meddling. None of it is Raimis fault.
@WillFanofMany I wouldnt care about it either if Sony kept meddling with what I wanted.
It’s funny how Spider-Man fans always change which one is the best
Sure they will be better movies but the Spider-Man franchise wouldn’t be the same without the Spider-Man 2s influence
I think Spiderman 2 is the definition of a great sequel.
funny that "Spider-Man 2" is the only Marvel Comics movie to have won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, while others either didn't get any nominations, or were nominated (like the "Iron Man" films) but lost to other films
Tom Holland may be a good Spider-Man. But Tobey IS Spider-Man!
WHY IS THIS DAY SO GOOD? A SPIDER-MAN 2 RETROSPECTIVE AND A GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS TRAILER
Still the best superhero movie ever. Spider-Man is truly the greatest character.

Oliver, you're seriously the best film reviewer/ critic on UA-cam, your analysis and your presentation is top notch, kudos
I remember I literally watched this film every single day when I was a kid, quite literally
Still the best Spider-Man movie. Three was shit. The two Garfield ones were boring. Homecoming was ok, making him much younger etc, so at least it was different. Multiverse was .... strange. Not really a Spider-Man movie it was a sci-fi movie that could have had any superhero slotted in.
The greatest superhero film ever made...
Great video - loads of background info I didn't know.
But you begin with a condensed version of the film through significant clips and dialogue, followed by a full recap with narration. I feel one or the other would be enough.
Mr Silhouette fast forward it.
When we had the spiderman 2 game we were told if you collect every guide marker Bruce said something different , when we'd done em all turns out that was literally the case go press on any of them and he says literally "something different" sometimes in different tones
I'll be honest, I never actually watched the first two of these Spider-Man films (somehow I was coerced into watching the third). I never paid much attention to them despite their popularity, but it seems like I actually missed out! I'll definitely have to check them out sometime, particularly this one. Regarding the game, it came out while I was working in game retail and I can vouch that it was a bit of a big deal at the time. We had it on our demo kiosks and were all wowed by the web slinging, there wasn't much else like it at the time. Super hero games weren't usually all that great for starters, and this one didn't just appear to be a good super hero game, but a good game in its own right.
I honestly believe Spiderman 2 was the first superhero movie I ever saw in theaters. It's so hard to remember being only 5 when this came out and remembered getting the BK kids meal toys lol but in pretty sure this was probably the first movie I ever saw in a theater and still one of my top favorites 🙂
Ruben Garcia It’s not about you bro.
Rip Stan Lee 1922-2018
Always gives a great review, brilliant Oliver!
MY GOD! people controlled the arms?! THAT IS INCREDIBLE ! and in comes MCU CG EVERYTHING
aw man one of the most important rules in post productions is to not fall in love with the temp music. it is a shame that it strained the relationship between Danny Elfman and Sam Raimi
Homecoming may be the favorite for folks now a days. But this film had the train scene. And I have yet to see anything in a Spiderman film wow me like that did in the theater, much less any superhero film. Plus the casting for Jameson was about as perfect as you can get.
One of the greatest super hero movies ever.
I remember my dad talking me to see this after i got back from summer camp mabey thats why i like it so mutch
I thought that wasn’t Thomas Jane in the end of the movie, just someone who happened to look like him
Stunt double, I've read.
One of my childhood favorites.
Thank you Oliver😁
Still my favorite superhero film ever. In my top ten favorite films. Is it nostalgia? Perhaps. But this is still a great movie!
10:19 from what I read that’s actually Thomas janes stunt double
26:35 that's one of the major things that you won't find in the Tom Holland movies. To me, the Raimi Spider-Man movies really do nail the quieter and more moving scenes. The emotional Danny Elfman theme and the emotions of the actor really make you feel something. Rosemarie Harris really does act like the guardian to Peter. And the way she acts make me emotional as well. But also the dialogue between MJ and Peter are lovely and sometimes gutwrenching as well.
Spider Man 2 may be one of the best superhero films, but Spider Man 3 is one of the best comedy films.
Thanks for the awesome video Oliver. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
6:55 interesting that now Gyllenhaal will play Mysterio in Spiderman 2: Far From Home 🙂
Fantastic review. I'll always love this movie. This film and Spider-Man 1 were everything to me growing up.
Peter should’ve just told Harry he didn’t kill Norman
Still the best superhero film for me, and this is after all the MCU films up to Endgame. Probably never will be bettered.
Spider-Man 2 is one of the very peaks of this entire genre. Whether you are talking about comic book superhero movies or Blockbuster filmmaking, Spider-Man 2 is one of the most impressive movies from the Hollywood studios I've seen in the last 25 years
“Sit down, you’re unfired” lol 😂
As a very young kid watching this long time ago I didn’t understand why Peter lost his mojo/powers and now I realize it happened because he was bottling up his feelings and love towards Mary Jane
Quick watch it before it gets taken down by copyright BS!
Do a retrospective and review on titanic
Are you going to do Spider-Man 3?
This is literally my favorite movie of all time
Little correction: Thomas Jane was NOT in this movie!!!
Its actually just his stunt double. He doesn't quite look like Thomas Jane if you look closely
