Aunt May’s speech is such a huge point in the movie for Peter. She knows, she knows Peter is Spider-Man because she never gets angry that he left her at the bank.
@@victordevizio8250 She likely knew then too. Look at her deeply concerned expression when she asks “what happened?” after he tells her that he killed Sandman.
@@phousefilms They'd have a little more to go on than that: Spider-Man is a white male between 16-25 years of age with brown hair and blue eyes. That said, you're absolutely right: there's probably a million guys in NYC who fit that description. Even if you cross-referenced Spider-Man sightings to narrow it down to which district(s) he's most active in, you'd still have too many matches. I mean, you could try having a police sketch artist draw him and then plaster the sketch everywhere, but those are hit or miss.
Alfred Molina's portrayal of Doc Ock is on the level of when Batman TAS made Mr. Freeze a sympathetic, tragic villain. I loved his resolve and strength in making the arms his biyotches ("Listen to me, NOW!") and his declaration, "I will not die a monster!" Gives me chills!
Favorite parts of the film besides the Doc Ock train fight are: - Peter and Doctor Octavius’ relationship - Aunt May pulling away from Peter after his confession but then making amends. It felt very realistic - Pretty much every Daily Bugle sequence. Betty and Peter have a great dynamic, I like how Robbie has seemingly figured out Spider-Man’s identity and Jameson is still one of the best characters in a superhero movie ever
@@SyzygyNoon - If you were a director, and listing the reasons to cast Kirsten Dunst in your film... those puppies would come in at numbers 1 and 2. And if she was very lucky, her acting chops might just crack the top 10 on that list.
@@Mr.Ekshin You’re expressing yourself with no regrets, and I can appreciate that, but in the interest of human decency, she isn’t boobs with a person attached. She’s human, just like all of us, and she deserves respect. I’m certain you’re not looking for a lecture, but I did have to say that much.

@@RM-qj8cs the only thing I liked about Homecoming was Michael Keaton as the villain… he’s such a great actor. He was the best Batman and the only actor that could play Beetlejuice lol
they originally didn't have Willem Defoe on screen at the end, it was just gonna be his pre-recorded laugh or whatever, but Willem Defoe would occasionally visit the set and mess with the actors, he even did an outtake of himself using Doc Ocks arms and doing the whole "the power of the sun" dialogue thing while Afred Molina was on a break. so the producers suggested Willem have a small cameo where he's in the mirror yelling at Harry to "AVENGE ME!!" since he was just hanging out anyways
Aunt May's speech about what heroes mean to people is one of my favorite in all of superhero movies! And it was gratifying seeing what she said hold true when the people in the subway car tried to take care of Spider Man just like how he takes care of them.

I love the idea that Molina spent so much time with the arms on he ended up talking to them. Apparently there is loads of footage of him chatting to them!
The actress playing the receptionist is Emily Deschanel (Bones from the television show Bones) and Doc Ock played the inept thief who tried to steal the idol from Indiana Jones "Throw me the idol, I'll throw you the whip, Adios Senior"
She's obviously never encountered Professor Kingsfield from "The Paper Chase," Mistuh Haaahrt. " You come in here with a brain full of mush, and, if you survive, you leave here thinking like a lawyah!"
The aunt May stuff is just sooo sad. For some reason the "well at least we get the toaster" "no you don't" part and the look on her face, it makes me cry every time. I know that feeling. like you can't get even a _small_ win. nope. gotta lose and fail at everything apparently.
Yeah. I feel like this movie does a really good job of how much it can also suck being a hero, and that it can sometimes be a thankless job. Something I feel like the MCU has been lacking (at least in the movies.) but that’s often also been the curse of Peter Parker. To lose even when he wins.
Fun fact: The parts MJ’s play weren’t anything random they came up, it mirrors the relationship between her and Peter. For example, in her second play she says, “I hope you haven’t been living a double life, pretending to be wicked and be really good all the time. That would hypocrisy.”, which mirrors Peter being both himself and Spider-Man, and that MJ hoped he would actually see her play without disappointing her. It’s indeed a brilliant piece of writing!
It's from the play the importance of being earnest. Which is about the main character dealing with the consequences of having an alter ego, especially romantic circumstances
The “if you wanna get to him, you are going to have to get through us.” is reference to the synergy of the first Spider-Man movie’s bridge scene when the people started throwing bricks at the green goblin. This sentiment was well received by the audience and meta as Spider-Man was the first major blockbuster that came out after 9-11, and a major reason for the wild success of the first movie; these “all for one” scenes hit all the right notes: New York, American values and a United country. It was a high point in our American history. Fun fact: immediately following 9-11, there was such a sense of community there were no car horns being honked on the streets.
I love how they did the fight scenes in this movie & seeing Peter try to balance his life with his Spidey duties then losing his powers was done greatly! & doc ock was a great villian the villains that you can sympathize for are my fave
#funfact the action scenes were done by the Hong Kong Fight Choreographer, Dion Lam who did John Woo’s The Red Cliff….if I’m not mistaken, I think he was involved in The Matrix with Yuen Woo Ping….additionally, Dion Lam made a cameo appearance in Donnie Yen’s Kung-fu Killers….
They released a "Spider-Man 2.1" It contains 8 extra minutes consisting of 3 new, 1 alternate, and 11 extended scenes back in 2007 and given how much you enjoy the Spider-Man movies, it would be worth the watch for you. It would also be cool if you were able to locate the 15 scenes themselves and do a reaction/comparison video.

This is my favourite Spider-man movie. It takes everything that's good about the first one and corrects some of the weaker aspects: in particular, here MJ has so much more agency and it ends with her basically telling Peter "now we do it my way because you're being an idiot". Also, victory comes from persuasion rather than brute force. Just spot on.
Fun facts, if you thought those two kids that returned Peter’s mask look a little like Toby?.. you not wrong, they’re Toby’s nephews. The man in the background that appears to be watching MJ when She is running across town in her wedding dress, was Thomas Jane’s stunt double from the 2004 Punisher movie. When this movie came out, everyone thought it was a punisher cameo in a Spider-Man movie. Which in the comics the Punisher was first introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man #129. So fans freak out when they saw this.
Spider-Man 2 is my favourite movie of all time. It’s an instant classic and an absolute masterpiece. It’s not just one of the best superhero films but it’s one of the best films ever made period. One thing I’ve always thought about is that Aunt May knows Peter is Spider-Man
The usher at MJ’s play is legendary Sam Raimi movie actor/friend Bruce Campbell. Bruce was the Star of Raimi’s Evil Dead movies and often cameos in Raimi’s various movies (ie in the first movie he was the wrestling announcer who gave Peter the Spider Man name)
Uncle Ben - "With great power, comes great responsibility." Peter - *loses his powers* / "Welp, guess I'm not responsible anymore." / *stops fighting crime* Uncle Ben - "What about what I taught you?" Peter - "I missed the part where that's my problem. See ya chump."
Harry, MJ and Peter were best friends in the time between the first movie and this. Yeah, it was hard because all the romantic drama, but still they cared about each other and spent some happy times together. There's a deleted scene from the third movie (it's on editor's cut I guess) that shows a photo of the three of them skating in Central Park, and they are just so adorable. 💕
I loved the hospital scene! When I was a kid, it reminded me of horror films like Evil Dead and Army of Darkness. Years later realized it was the same director, and why Bruce Campbell makes cameos in his films. Sam Rami is awesome!
Really liked it, Molina is such an awesome actor and did a great job in following Dafoe, who was amazing as the first villain. Oh and btw, your hair looks great today.
Amused how she brought up MJ basically having vapor wear. It's also right out of comics and even anime where everyone, male or female, are basically going commando be it casual wear or superhero outfit. Skintight costumes that get torn up way easily as battle rages on.
Favorite Spidey film all time! Awesome reaction feedback while still enjoying and absorbing the whole movie! "He tells her he loves her..in the worst scenario?" had me chucking! On point take on MJ and the rain again.
To quote Albus Dumbledore, "It is not our abilities that show what we truly are; it is our choices." In these films, that is the fundamental difference between the heroes and villains - the choices they make.
So glad you enjoyed this film, it's one of my absolute favourites and one I revisit often myself. Tobey's Peter is in so many ways how I would imagine myself as a superhero and I really adore that, his relationship with May, MJ and Harry all feel so human and real, something that I don't personally feel other Spidey movies let alone other superhero movies ever really capture. As always Raimi's directing is fun and Molina absolutely kills it in this role as Ock, everything about this movie just works so damn well. It was super fun seeing you react to it all, your comments were always funny and on point and it's nice to see how much you enjoyed it overall, makes me want to go and watch it again myself for about the 700th time
FYI Spidey losing his powers is taken from a comic run where he has the flu and it screws his powers up. They decided to make it a mental block for him to work through in this movie to show what struggles his personal life goes through.
Fun fact: Spider-Man 2, took heavy reference in plot and tempo of kikis delivery service. And we know the story writers watched it because Kirsten dunst is the voice actor for Kiki. Not a bad thing, Spider-Man 2 is my favorite of the franchise. If you liked this movie, you’d like ‘kikis delivery service’
That's amazing, I actually noticed how similar Spider-Man 2 was to Kiki's Delivery Service when I first watched it a few months ago, I didn't know that it was actually used as an influence on this film's plot
I like the part with the guy that finds the pizza and decides to eat a slice, like they couldn't have been there long he must've seen them and instantly without questioning it just start eating 🤣🤣
Towards the end, when MJ is running to Peter in her wedding gown, a man in solid black turns around to look at her. It wasn't confirmed until years later, but that man was Frank Castle, The Punisher.
As you said in the last Spidey reaction, the Raimi Spidey is in a much more grounded reality which also perfectly highlights how the lack of an Aunt May character could turn this Spidey franchise into a supervillain arc. The support systems are portrayed in a way that not only enables growth but also trust.
@4:03 "So how's he paying for...rent and education?" Sadly, he isn't. Unless he earned a full scholarship, he most likely took out student loans but now he's not able to pay either his rent or his student loans on time.
I love how Doc Ock glosse's over the potential life changing amputee prothesis he has created like it ain't no thang. Imagine that kind of technology and the benefit it would have outside of the weirdly specific scenario HE DESIGNED it for lol
Regarding Peter's face being revealed on the train, it's worth remembering that in 2002 nobody on that train had a camera-phone & Peter is literally the most generic white guy ever. Unless somebody on the train specifically knew Peter (like a classmate from college, or a colleague from the Bugle) then his identity is fine, they saw his face not his driver's licence :D
25:17 that's a good question actually! It's the A.I. that's making Otto behave violently. All the A.I. wants to do is finish the experiment correctly. No matter what the cost is.
15:58 Being torn between his normal life and being Spider-Man is affecting his powers and psychologically he doesn't want to be or feel like like he is Spider-Man anymore. This bit's based on a storyline from the comics called Spider-Man No More but in that Peter giving up allowed Kingpin, who back then was a Spider-Man villain rather than the Daredevil one he is now to take over New York's criminal underworld.
Trivia: when MJ is running at the end away from her wedding, she runs by s guy that looks like the Punisher from that era. It was really the stunt double for the Punisher actor
@30:08 - I completely agree with her. I'm 34, I know that the whole different generations , different taste, likings etc. but i can confirm that when you grow older, you start to appreciate stories that have more an emotional pull. With the newer Spiderman , it's entertaining and all but it was not as emotional as Sam Raimi's Spiderman.
It's never said in any of the movies... well in one of the MCU movies it gets a brief mention, but the deal on web clean-up is this: The webs dissolve in a couple of hours so no clean-up needed. Plus they're extra strong and sticky so they'd be nearly impossible to clean anyway if they didn't.
2 arms + 2 legs + 4 mechanical = 8 appendiges also "According to the comics, Spider-Man's webbing is designed to dissolve entirely after an hour, leaving no permanent damage to the buildings or people who've been caught in their way. It's just as well, otherwise every neighborhood Spidey visits would be left permanently sticky."
"Does somebody clean up all these webs?" I hadn't thought of it before, but has Spiderman's leftover webs maybe decimated the NYC pigeon population? I could see them getting caught up in all the rogue strands of sticky stuff all over the place...
the new spiderman films don't hold a candle to these films, spiderman 2 is still a top tier marvel movie , its actually a perfect template for superhero films
Science gone bad describes 80 percent of Spidey's Rogues Gallery. Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Lizard, Green Goblin, Scorpion, Rhino, Man-Wolf, Morbius, The Gibbon, Electro, Shocker, The Beetle, The Jackal, the Spider Slayers, the Spider Clones and many more, and many funded by J. J. Jameson.
Bit of trivia. It's didn't make this reaction, but when Mary Jane is running in the wedding dress, she passes a man with black hair dressed entirely black. It was meant to be Thomas Jane, reprising his role as the Punisher he played in his own movie. Things didn't work out with rights issues, so instead they used Jane's stunt double from that movie. Would've been an interesting third movie if they went the Punisher route.
The arms are influencing Otto's mind to do what they want, and the only thing they care about is getting a successful fusion. After that, they don't care, so Otto doesn't care.
29:13 they are designed to autodegrade over time. So they just evaporate away. Peter thinks of everything he is a genius. Although this version it's natural webbing and not lab created so we can assume it's just some natural breakdown process as well.
28:00 That is always our question, Vicky. Where does Spiderman hang on to in the middle of nowhere? Air? Clouds? Is God grabbing his web so he can swing? I dunno.
In the versions of spider-man where the webs come from a device, they're designed to dissolve after a while, so that nobody needs to clean them up... I don't remember if this version ever establishes anything like that
I loved watching the behind the scenes of these great movies growing up it really showed how much work and effort was put into them to make them so amazing
This is the definitive Sam Raimi trilogy film. It has nearly ALL of the Tobey Maguire memes in it, Peter Parker finally gets recognition for being Spider-Man AND he gets his beloved MJ at the end! The only thing the series is missing is Bully Maguire, now!
I still say out of all the modern Spider-Man movies over the past 20+ years, this one is hands down the best one (with the exception of Into the Spider-Verse, that is the best ANIMATED version). Its so iconic and done so well.
Harry: Don‘t kill Peter Doc Ock: *proceeds to choke him and throw him full force against the wall, giving any normal person a concussion or broken back*

“I’ve always been standing in your doorway” is my favorite line of all time. Such a perfect chemistry between them ❤
Spider-Man 2 is my favourite movie of all time. It’s an instant classic and an absolute masterpiece. It’s not just one of the best superhero films but it’s one of the best films ever made period.
One thing I’ve always thought about is that Aunt May knows Peter is Spider-Man
The usher at MJ’s play is legendary Sam Raimi movie actor/friend Bruce Campbell. Bruce was the Star of Raimi’s Evil Dead movies and often cameos in Raimi’s various movies (ie in the first movie he was the wrestling announcer who gave Peter the Spider Man name)
Wasn't he also supposed to play mysterio in a future movie?
He was also the star of the Brisco County Jr TV series!
Uncle Ben - "With great power, comes great responsibility."
Peter - *loses his powers* / "Welp, guess I'm not responsible anymore." / *stops fighting crime*
Uncle Ben - "What about what I taught you?"
Peter - "I missed the part where that's my problem. See ya chump."
Harry, MJ and Peter were best friends in the time between the first movie and this. Yeah, it was hard because all the romantic drama, but still they cared about each other and spent some happy times together. There's a deleted scene from the third movie (it's on editor's cut I guess) that shows a photo of the three of them skating in Central Park, and they are just so adorable. 💕
The fact that Spiderman 2 and The Dark Knight (batman 2)
, Both being the 2nd sequel movies are the best superhero movies ever made is crazy.
24:00 Back then: "We won't tell no body." Today: Takes out his phone "I'm gonna be Tiktok famous!!"
I loved the hospital scene! When I was a kid, it reminded me of horror films like Evil Dead and Army of Darkness. Years later realized it was the same director, and why Bruce Campbell makes cameos in his films. Sam Rami is awesome!
Really liked it, Molina is such an awesome actor and did a great job in following Dafoe, who was amazing as the first villain. Oh and btw, your hair looks great today.
his first movie role was the Columbian guide who died in one of the Indiana Jones movies
I love that Aunt May doesn't immediately forgive Peter.
You want forgiveness?
Get religion!
At least the pizza wasn't ruined from his flip swing. To those who remember the pizza mission from Spider-Man 2 video game.
Oh no! My balloon!!!
"His identity's just OUT!"
"Hey! It's that pizza guy my kid goes to school with!"
Amused how she brought up MJ basically having vapor wear. It's also right out of comics and even anime where everyone, male or female, are basically going commando be it casual wear or superhero outfit. Skintight costumes that get torn up way easily as battle rages on.
It is currently my favorite movie period. No matter how many times I watch I cry at least twice.
Fun fact to the question of who cleans up his webs. Most versions of Spiderman's webs are actually biodegradable they would dissolve over time
Dissolve over time, eh? Just like Nancy Pelosi's eyebrows.
"I have nothing left except Spiderman." So many memes in this movie.
Favorite Spidey film all time! Awesome reaction feedback while still enjoying and absorbing the whole movie! "He tells her he loves her..in the worst scenario?" had me chucking! On point take on MJ and the rain again.
I actually dig it and thumbnails are just cooler too.
I think a lot of men in the audience are thanking the directors for including MJ in the rain again.
@@greywolf7577 more like boys at this point.
Still my favorite Spider-Man movie of all time. Loved the reaction Vicky!
To quote Albus Dumbledore, "It is not our abilities that show what we truly are; it is our choices." In these films, that is the fundamental difference between the heroes and villains - the choices they make.
So glad you enjoyed this film, it's one of my absolute favourites and one I revisit often myself. Tobey's Peter is in so many ways how I would imagine myself as a superhero and I really adore that, his relationship with May, MJ and Harry all feel so human and real, something that I don't personally feel other Spidey movies let alone other superhero movies ever really capture. As always Raimi's directing is fun and Molina absolutely kills it in this role as Ock, everything about this movie just works so damn well. It was super fun seeing you react to it all, your comments were always funny and on point and it's nice to see how much you enjoyed it overall, makes me want to go and watch it again myself for about the 700th time
I still can't understand how Dr ock took Spiderman's punches without having any bruise
2004 Peter: “I’m Spider-Man, No More. No more.”
2021 Peter talking to his other Peters: “Oh pfft… existential crisis.”
😩🤣😂
FYI Spidey losing his powers is taken from a comic run where he has the flu and it screws his powers up. They decided to make it a mental block for him to work through in this movie to show what struggles his personal life goes through.
Fun fact: Spider-Man 2, took heavy reference in plot and tempo of kikis delivery service. And we know the story writers watched it because Kirsten dunst is the voice actor for Kiki.
Not a bad thing, Spider-Man 2 is my favorite of the franchise. If you liked this movie, you’d like ‘kikis delivery service’
That's amazing, I actually noticed how similar Spider-Man 2 was to Kiki's Delivery Service when I first watched it a few months ago, I didn't know that it was actually used as an influence on this film's plot
You serious? The last time I heard of that movie was when it came out on video...... 25 years ago.
@@TheEliminator1992 That's weird. Last time this comment was relevant was when this video was posted...... 1 year ago.
I like the part with the guy that finds the pizza and decides to eat a slice, like they couldn't have been there long he must've seen them and instantly without questioning it just start eating 🤣🤣
Towards the end, when MJ is running to Peter in her wedding gown, a man in solid black turns around to look at her. It wasn't confirmed until years later, but that man was Frank Castle, The Punisher.
As you said in the last Spidey reaction, the Raimi Spidey is in a much more grounded reality which also perfectly highlights how the lack of an Aunt May character could turn this Spidey franchise into a supervillain arc. The support systems are portrayed in a way that not only enables growth but also trust.
@4:03 "So how's he paying for...rent and education?"
Sadly, he isn't. Unless he earned a full scholarship, he most likely took out student loans but now he's not able to pay either his rent or his student loans on time.
I love how Doc Ock glosse's over the potential life changing amputee prothesis he has created like it ain't no thang.
Imagine that kind of technology and the benefit it would have outside of the weirdly specific scenario HE DESIGNED it for lol
after about an hour, Spider-Man's webbing completely dissolves
Why didn‘t you show the scene when Jonah laughs. I love it 😂

“Which is crazy because ai can’t do that”
Well I mean spiders also can’t give people powers
Vicky's mouth : "Worst 'friend' ever"
Vicky's eyes : "Best aunt ever" :)
Regarding Peter's face being revealed on the train, it's worth remembering that in 2002 nobody on that train had a camera-phone & Peter is literally the most generic white guy ever. Unless somebody on the train specifically knew Peter (like a classmate from college, or a colleague from the Bugle) then his identity is fine, they saw his face not his driver's licence :D
Hospital scene... best scene ever ! Full of Raimi's signiture camera work.
This movie series helped make the “I am Ironman” scene more impactful with the whole Peter lying about being in love of MJ to protect her.
25:17 that's a good question actually! It's the A.I. that's making Otto behave violently. All the A.I. wants to do is finish the experiment correctly. No matter what the cost is.
15:58 Being torn between his normal life and being Spider-Man is affecting his powers and psychologically he doesn't want to be or feel like like he is Spider-Man anymore. This bit's based on a storyline from the comics called Spider-Man No More but in that Peter giving up allowed Kingpin, who back then was a Spider-Man villain rather than the Daredevil one he is now to take over New York's criminal underworld.
VKunia shouting out YTP's is all i needed to feel happy today
I had the honor of seeing this movie on premier night! Greatest moment of my life as a 12 year old back then next to TLOTR.
15:40
“Everything in his life is going wrong”
Hello welcome to Spider-Man don’t forget the hyphen
9:07 Don't forget, he already has 4 limbs (2 arms and 2 legs), so adding 4 mechanical ones to these and gets you a total of 8.
The golden age of spidey
Trivia: when MJ is running at the end away from her wedding, she runs by s guy that looks like the Punisher from that era. It was really the stunt double for the Punisher actor
Aww this movie really brings me back to when I was younger and seen it in the theater
@30:08 - I completely agree with her. I'm 34, I know that the whole different generations , different taste, likings etc. but i can confirm that when you grow older, you start to appreciate stories that have more an emotional pull. With the newer Spiderman , it's entertaining and all but it was not as emotional as Sam Raimi's Spiderman.
It's never said in any of the movies... well in one of the MCU movies it gets a brief mention, but the deal on web clean-up is this: The webs dissolve in a couple of hours so no clean-up needed. Plus they're extra strong and sticky so they'd be nearly impossible to clean anyway if they didn't.
Fact: the name Octo clearly comes from Octopus, but he does have 8 arms because in addition to the mechanical tentacles he has 2 legs and 2 arms.
*8 Limbs.
Well, eight limbs. Most scientists don't believe legs and arms are interchangeable. Unless they are paid off by Democrats to say so.
Doc Ock does have 8 limbs in total, the 4 human ones he was born with, and 4 more machine ones that he built.
2 arms + 2 legs + 4 mechanical = 8 appendiges
also
"According to the comics, Spider-Man's webbing is designed to dissolve entirely after an hour, leaving no permanent damage to the buildings or people who've been caught in their way. It's just as well, otherwise every neighborhood Spidey visits would be left permanently sticky."
Why would his webs be so unlike a real spider's webs, which can last for centuries before degrading.
"Does somebody clean up all these webs?"
I hadn't thought of it before, but has Spiderman's leftover webs maybe decimated the NYC pigeon population? I could see them getting caught up in all the rogue strands of sticky stuff all over the place...
They dissolve after 2 hours.
There's an extended Spider-Man 2.1 version of this movie out there that is a must watch - Lots of extra cool footage.
the new spiderman films don't hold a candle to these films, spiderman 2 is still a top tier marvel movie , its actually a perfect template for superhero films
Science gone bad describes 80 percent of Spidey's Rogues Gallery. Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Lizard, Green Goblin, Scorpion, Rhino, Man-Wolf, Morbius, The Gibbon, Electro, Shocker, The Beetle, The Jackal, the Spider Slayers, the Spider Clones and many more, and many funded by J. J. Jameson.
Even though Peter/Spiderman doesn't have to deal with the Lizard in this trilogy, I like the fact that Doc Connors was in this movie briefly.
Bit of trivia. It's didn't make this reaction, but when Mary Jane is running in the wedding dress, she passes a man with black hair dressed entirely black.
It was meant to be Thomas Jane, reprising his role as the Punisher he played in his own movie. Things didn't work out with rights issues, so instead they used Jane's stunt double from that movie.
Would've been an interesting third movie if they went the Punisher route.
That was Emily Deschanel of TV's Bones as the receptionist who's not going to pay for pizza.
The arms are influencing Otto's mind to do what they want, and the only thing they care about is getting a successful fusion. After that, they don't care, so Otto doesn't care.
29:13 they are designed to autodegrade over time. So they just evaporate away. Peter thinks of everything he is a genius. Although this version it's natural webbing and not lab created so we can assume it's just some natural breakdown process as well.
28:00 That is always our question, Vicky. Where does Spiderman hang on to in the middle of nowhere? Air? Clouds? Is God grabbing his web so he can swing? I dunno.
In the versions of spider-man where the webs come from a device, they're designed to dissolve after a while, so that nobody needs to clean them up... I don't remember if this version ever establishes anything like that
I loved watching the behind the scenes of these great movies growing up it really showed how much work and effort was put into them to make them so amazing
"Delicious?!🤨, I guess he is kinda yummy😶"
This part killed me 💀
This is the definitive Sam Raimi trilogy film. It has nearly ALL of the Tobey Maguire memes in it, Peter Parker finally gets recognition for being Spider-Man AND he gets his beloved MJ at the end! The only thing the series is missing is Bully Maguire, now!
9:16 - He already has four arms, plus the 4 extra arms = 8 = Octopus.
I still say out of all the modern Spider-Man movies over the past 20+ years, this one is hands down the best one (with the exception of Into the Spider-Verse, that is the best ANIMATED version). Its so iconic and done so well.
Into the Spider-Verse? That movie was half good and half bad.
My appsolute favorite scene- Spiderman turning around and seeing Mary Jane seeing her first love is the Spiderman, that look was so cool
Love the credits song to this movie. "Vindicated" by Dashboard Confessional is peak 2000s alt rock.
"So this is the Doc Oc one?" No it's the pizza one, we've already established that! :P
Harry: Don‘t kill Peter
Doc Ock: *proceeds to choke him and throw him full force against the wall, giving any normal person a concussion or broken back*
Octopuses have 8 limbs and our legs count as limbs, so Doc Ock has 8 limbs like an Octopus.
Imagine every time one of the mechanical arms that grabbed Spidey also released the implanted spear. He got pretty lucky
