Hey everyone, just recently I posted this Spider-Man retrospectives video on my channel and I noticed that the audio was out of sync for the coverage on the Spider-Man 1 & 2, very bizarre this happened, no one as far as I'm aware had noticed and alerted me to it, it was very obvious to me during the opening trailers. So I've unlisted that video and re-uploaded this corrected version. Apologises for this, this rarely ever happens as I like to make sure the quality is maintained with my retrospectives.
I noticed the sync issue, but saw that no one else commented on it when I scrolled down the comments, so I was second guessing whether it was just on my end.
This is really high quality stuff @OliverHarper, you truly are dedicated to your craft. These videos are very immaculately put together, ironically I saw all 3 films in the trilogy at UK Cinemas. For me the first 2 movies are the best Marvel Superhero movies put on-screen. Spiderman 3 is very flawed and not really great, the Editor Cut of Spiderman 3 is slightly marginally better if not as great as the earlier movies.
I feel like I didn’t notice as I so often treat your channel like it’s a fancy podcast. I listened to the first upload on a 2 hour trip out to a city for a day job, perfect to listen to on the drive.
I love the Raimi Spider-Man movies. The first one is my favorite because I grew up with it since I was 10 years old and Tobey Maguire is my favorite Spider-Man of all time.
The dramatic opening music transitioning to the elegant calm voice of our great narrator Mr. Oliver Harper... oh my thank you for this channel... we love your work
i remembered when i saw spiderman 3 in cinema. i was ten and it was all a little boy could want. i saw at that time all the other sequel multiple time and i still love the 3 as much and even with is flaws
As I'm watching this, and I've now watched a fair amount of your retrospectives @OliverHarper - I'm only now realising you cadence, and rhythm of talking is very similar to Barry Norman.
@@coreyabell6332 Those were a few years where my younger self was a bit nawty so hazy recollections, but I suspect you are correct if you have checked my birth date. Cocaine, booze and hookers......need I say more?
I remember seeing the trailer involving the world trade towers. It had David hyde pierce in it who I knew from Frasier. The trailer played before my brother and I saw Final Fatasy the Spirits Within.
I remember when I was a kid watching one of the Nicholas Hammond films at my local cinema. I also remember I was impressed at Spider-Man climbing buildings…. I was about 5 and it was the 70’s!!!!
How Peter got his suit is he had it make by a costume maker. After Peter defeated Bone Saw, one of his victims The Flying Dutchman was grateful to Peter for defeating him, so he told Peter that if he ever wanted to upgrade his suit, he would have his back. So once Peter understood his uncle's motto he showed up at the tailor's shop (which was owned by The Flying Dutchman's brother) in his homemade wrestling suit and gave him the drawings of the ideal costume and the tailor got to work and made two identical suits free of charge for Peter. In the first movie Peter wore the first suit but it got damaged in his final battle with The Green Goblin, so in the second movie he wore the second suit and by Spider-Man 3 he had more than two suits hanging in his closet.
"..but he needed a sense of clarity, and that comes in the form of Aunt May. She really is the VOICE OF REASON for him.." Really only in this movie. Really . Only in that scene. Otherwise she is a rather judging hypocrite( she calls Spider-Man horrible for the first movie, but quickly changes her tune when he saves HER life. Then he's "A Hero" to her).
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.
I still like this trilogy more than the Garfield and Holland ones. Third one wasn't great, but it was still good, would've been better if it was split into 2 movies imo.
My favourite Spiderman movies, I don't often actually like superhero movies but these 3 where pretty good. It wouldn't have been anywhere near as good if Sam wasn't the director.
Avi Arad shot down the "love triangle" between Peter, MJ, and Doc Ock? That has to be, without a doubt, the BEST decision I've ever heard him making. Firstoff, that's never been Otto's deal. He's not sexless, but he's not into the type of ladies Peter's into. He's a very different guy. Read Superior Spiderman for a great example. Second, that is such a hack subplot. Have the villain lust after the hero's lady, just cuz she pretty? That demeans us all. Third, Spiderman 2's Otto is such a likeable guy because he's NOT an incel loser who treats women like objects. Dude has a wife. They have a history. He didn't just woo her with poetry, he LEARNED about poetry just to impress her. That's a classy guy. We like that guy. He's in love, his love loves him, but he accidentally kills her (shades of Uncle Ben) in his initial awful reaction to having his mind taken over. After that, the grief, the guilt, is buried deep inside, not revealed to him until he regains some clarity at the end. For him to just brush aside his beloved wife for his rival's gf....again, that demeans us all. EDIT: And now Avi Arad is pushing Venom in Spiderman 3. THIS is the kind of stuff I'm used to hearing. I guess tha Doc Ock boy was indeed the exception. That proves nothing.
Avi Arad: "Let's not do a love triangle between Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson, and Doctor Octopus" Also Avid Arad: "Raaaaaimmmmmiiiii, you just HAVE TO put Venom in Spider-Man 3 don't you want the kiddies and hardcore Spider-Man fans alike to come see it opening weekend?"
I would say that this trilogy is the BEST vanila Spiderman portrait, i mean, mary jane is perfect, she is like that originally, a spicy seductivepretty girl that comes from a kinda broken home and that is impulsive, childish and superficial, that´s Mary Jane, the rest of the cast is perfect, Harry, the Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, as for Peter, kinda too nerdy in the Toby McGuire cast but he did it ok, Spiderman looks perfect, the ONLY problem with this trilogy is obviously Spiderman 3, they should have been more careful with that one, but maybe the director and crew were a bit burnout, i mean the same happened with the third dark knight movie, the script wasn´t good, Venom and sandman looked good but the cast of Edie Brock was a total mistake, he was suppose to be a big meat head, also they mismanaged the portrait of evil Peter possesed by Venom, is a very cringy movie at parts, but as a whole the trilogy was perfect for a classic vanilla portrait of spiderman for sure
I'm not a fan of Spider-Man. Never have been. Even as a little kid he never did anything for me. With that being said I think these movies are damn amazing. The final fight between Green Goblin and Spider-Man at the end of the first film blew me away when I was a wee lil lad even as a non Spidey fan. One of the most cinematic and visually satisfying superhero fights ever put on screen imo. 2 was also quite fantastic and though 3 was a let down to me on the whole it did give us Bully Maguire so I'll call it even. The fact that a non Spidey fan such as myself can enjoy these films so much is a testament to their quality and how well they compliment the character.
Great trilogy, shame these movies had to end..spider-man 3 wasn't a bad movie. I enjoyed it more than the first one to be honest. I think most people overlook the great stuff in it and just focus on the 'bad Peter dance' which is such a shame as the action, acting and music is top tier. Yeah there's too much stuff in the movie but its certainly not batman forever and batman and Robin 'too much'. Let's hope those spiderman 4 rumors are true as I want to see return.
I agree. Spider-Man 3 is misunderstood. It just had pacing issues and too much in the script. But the great stuff that is there is on par with the first two films. Despite its problems, Spider-Man 3 is still sincere and nowhere near the level of bad that Sony has been putting out lately
Bro that ‘70’s Spider-Man show looks atrocious. Oh my God. Did that real jump up and stick to that wall just to do a single kick? 🤣 Talk about unnecessary.
The reason why the original trilogy and was memorable, was because of the producer LAURA ZISKIN It was because of her and her husband (the screenwriter Alvin Sargent) that the movies had depth AVI ARAD on the other hand, just wanted to use the movies to sell toys Unfortunately, she died in 2011, during the production of this movie Without her, there was no one to stop Arad from destroying the franchise Spider-Man was nothing without her
I disagree 100%. You need the trifecta of greatness for a movie to be a classic. Great writing, a director, and actors. There is 5 other producers including Stan Lee. 1 Producer cannot hijack and entire production if there is other producers involved.
Ding ding ding ding. Its the core reason we've had just about every iconic film franchise trampled over to the point of being unrecognizable in the past decade. Never mind the fact that pandering to specific groups of people who don't actually give a toss about a given franchise won't magically turn up in droves to see a new entry specifically aimed at them. So long as film producers and execs can afford another party yacht or another summer condo in some third world island nation, who cares about things like quality or appeasing the true fans of a given property?
Sam Rami actually said he didn't read the comics so how was he a fan of the comics ? And he gave him biological webs from his writs that made no sense from the mechanical ones Peter made in the comics. Kristen Dunce was a horrible casting choice as Mary Jane:)(
I don't think J.K. Simmons was the best choice for J. Jonah Jamason. I always thought Dennis Farina would have been perfect for the role, especially at this time. He had such a strong resemblance to the character. Not to mention a perfect voice for it also.
No, J.K Simmons IS J. Jonah Jameson the same way Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man. Any other actor and the character wouldn't have been anywhere near as iconic in cinema history.

I doubt that cause does it came with postcards and a comic book like has spider-man 2 did.

Canonically for the movie, Peter met a costume designer at the wrestling match and had them create the suit.

Amazing presentation. Here's to more Retrospectives & Updated Reviews 🎉
Oliver your channel amd reviews are still the best!! Been a follower since the early days and your work is outstanding mate
I love your fan made trailers bro! You made me watch the whole Superman Reeves movies! 😊
The Quick And The Dead RR would be cool 😎 Gremlins 2 - The New Batch & John Carpenter's Elvis would also be worth mentioning 🙏
Great to hear you use Cornerstone Cues! Haven’t heard this in years !
For me, this is just about a perfect superhero movie.
I have no idea what Oliver's day job is but it should be in editing.The man is a master.
