I love that he didn't rat Peter out. He might be a little insane acting but that doesn't mean he's a bad person or willing to put his employee at harm.
When JJ discovered Peter was spiderman in the comics he actually changes his mind and becomes far more supportive also because spiderman saved his son the astronauts
Jameson protecting Parker isn't out of character. Even though he's a colossal douchebag he is a journalist with integrity and is protecting his source. A good journalist never throws their anonymous sources under the bus.
Its not even a matter of just protecting sources. He doesnt want parker (which he doesnt know is spiderman, which he has avalid reason for hating) to be hurt.
One of the things that's really interesting that came up early in the comics is that the reason jameson hates spiderman is because spiderman does what jameson wishes he had the courage to do. He resents spidermans ability and courage, and so he tries to tear him down out of spite for the way spiderman makes him feel like a coward. It honestly adds a layer of complexity to Jameson that makes him a more fascinating character, not that being a human cartoon character didn't already make him fascinating, but you get the idea
26:29 funny story, Tobey McGuire said that's the worst kiss scene he ever did mostly because he's actually upside down and the mask is wet so he's being waterboarded and suffocating. :( XD Got it done tho..
Robert Clent- Tobey Maguire actually said that???... No kidding?!... I love behind-the-scenes facts/etc. about movies & love movies, but, I think that tops it as far as anything coming out of the Sam Raimi 'Spider-Man' movies, in this example. When did he say that?....
I feel so bad for the landlord's daughter. She's so clearly head over heels for Peter and the only one in the movie who doesn't vomit exposition at him or dribbles on endlessly about responsibility and heroism, instead she tries her best to just comfort him. and peter goes after the engaged girl about to be married that same week, causing a runnaway bride situation in the process.
@@10tailedbijuu But it's still a terrible thing to do to someone. Couldn't she break the engagement off before everything was ready, paid for and everybody showed up?
Those goblin concepts are very good. I especially like the possibility of lifting the face mask of goblin to make it more modern and realistic. However, a drawing looks WAY different compared to how it looks on film. And considering it was 2001 while shooting this, they did a great job making the goblin look original and authentic. Rather, Willem Dafoe made the Goblin, not vice versa.
20:07 Nah, I don’t think they did that great a job, they had this face and decided to hide it behind a mask, there are better ideas, they could’ve even went the open mask route. That way they don’t attempt anything crazy like the other drawings but still make full use of Dafoe’s amazing facial expressions.
I love how Doug unknowing recreated the scene where Tobey McGuire's Spider-Man hyped up Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man in No Way Home before it even happened.
@@historia_Reiss_420 No, Andrew Garfield played Spider-Man in the reboot films The Amazing Spider-Man and the Amazing Spider-Man 2. He wasn't present in the original Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies
I read somewhere that Spider-Man 3's "Emo Peter" sequences are secretly genius in the way that Peter Parker canonically does NOT know how to be cool or express these douchebag tendencies that the symbiote is inciting in him. He's supposed to look like a doofus dummy because he's trying his best to put on a bad boy routine that he has absolutely 0 experience with, and it comes off as disingenuous and weird. Fans hating that version of Peter is perfect because you're supposed to!
But as the critic points out that is only expressed for like one scene with the rest of the movie treating Emo Peter as being seen as more suave, cool and charismatic.
Exactly, he acts exactly the way someone with 100% confidence but 20% social awareness. Even funnier to think that there was no actual music playing in that world, it was all in his head
I honestly think every Spider-Man movie is enjoyable in their own way. Even Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, they just crammed too much in them, but they both have good stuff in them
@@SuperSpectrom nah the cringe factor alone past those first 45 sells the film. "LOOKIT LIL GOBBIE JR, GONNA CRY?" "IMA PUT SOME DIRT IN YOUR EYE" "NAOW DEEG ON DIS"
I watched the older movies for the first time quite recently, so it's not nostalgia talking. I genuinely like them. Weird stuff's weird, but it's the early 2000s, so it seemed more cute than cringey. My personal favorite part is Peter & Harry plot arc. It was well handled, and the emotional scenes really hit it.
What the fuck. That’s not how nostalgia works it doesn’t matter when you see them all that matters is that you are biased towards it because it reminds you of before
Agreed the dialogue might be dated and special affects for the first film I pretty shaky the movies still have great story telling they might have problems especially 3 but the third one is still a great film in story telling
You realize this Eddie brock is supposed to be a sociopath right? He literally doesn't care about anyone but himself. Watch the movie again or just his scenes and you'll see that. I use sociopath generally, I'm not diagnosing him. Is this faithful to Eddie brock? Maybe. Idk.
In the novels about the movies (if you want to consider them canon, because they do contextualize a lot of stuff), it's revealed eddie just kinda stalks gwen and ASSUMES they're dating, but she doesn't pay mind to him at all
Fun fact: they originally had a more comic accurate look with a very creepy mask but, they scrapped it because it was too uncomfortable for Dafoe. If you want to see it there's a clip of them testing the expressions on TH-cam
1:17:48 he was actually supposed to play Mysterio in Spider Man 4, which is why he said "it maintains the illusion" it was a sneak peek at what could've been Spider Man's next villain in a movie.
Mysterio is the biggest mystery of all the villains to me. Green Goblin got super physical powers and later became goblin king and others became green goblin and hobgoblin, DocOc got his metal arms and other super villains. But then there's mysterio whose superpower is. Special effect. Just movie stage special effects. His first appearance was copying Spiderman using party tricks like spring boards. Yet he's treated like he's on the same league as the green goblin and all the heavy hitters in Spiderman's list. How? I'd be more intimidated by a stage magician whose a literal killer with card throwing. At least he's got something practical that doesn't require a whole month worth of prep time.
Personally I enjoyed every single Spiderman movie to date. Spiderman has always been a strange mix of serious and balls to wall crazy. I loved the dance scene from Spiderman 3.
I like some of them far more than others, but yea, I can't honestly say I openly hate any of them myself. Even the dance scene and emo-Peter made a certain amount of sense - as one comment on the original video pointed out, Emo Peter was _supposed_ to be cringe and awful, as he was a lifetime socially awkward dork suddenly infused with false confidence and behaving in a way that a socially awkward dork *thinks* should look cool but comes off as a dork trying to look cool and failing. That was literally the entire point of that whole sequence - Emo Peter was being fake and unfaithful to his true self and it came off looking fake and cringe.
theres a certain...... charm with spiderman 3 lmao. i was like 11 when i saw it in theaters and was thinking "wow. this is different than all the others. I LOVE IT" and havent changed my stance since then. the difference in question being that obviously raimi/the cast werent taking themselves too seriously like they were in the previous 2.
42:30 honestly, would love to see this too. It would just be a comedy where its a 10-20 story hotel where the audience knows that every one of the tenants is a super hero but those two just never catch on. Because of the number of rooms, you get to meet the tenants and could even have cameos. Though it would be a nice and funny twist if the two DID actually know and it was the tenants that haven't realized that the hotel itself is actually dimension hoping considering every single one of their newspapers has a different hero on the front cover. Title could be corny "Hotel Hero"
Originally, the plot for Spider-Man 3 was going to be on New Goblin and Sandman. Venom was seriously added in at the last minute because Sony saw how popular he's been getting.
“The Spider-Man’s were occasionally emotional but leaned more towards non-threatening ideas and imagery.” This is such a terrible point. Anyone who has seen these movies knows they are filled with dark themes and imagery (Aunt May breaking down when Peter won’t take her money, Green Goblin attacking May, Doc Ock’s birth, the Thanksgiving scene etc.) In addition, Spider-Man 2 is still regarded as one of the best because of its focus on drama and character. The action scenes are great, but they are not the primary drive of the movie nor the most interesting part.
I liked all of these movies, ive always said Tobey nailed the geeky dork side of Peter, Andrew nailed the comedic spider-man and Tom is good at both. I dont think Amazing Spider-man 2 is that bad
Are you crazy?!?! Never say "I dont think Amazing Spider-Man 2 is that bad" on the internet! Spider-Man 3 taught us that when it comes to opinions and the Wall-Crawler, the Internet is ruthless!
I remember feeling that way about spider man 3 when it came out. I was like “it wasn’t THAT bad guys” years later I saw spider man 2 and I was like “this movie is atrocious. First off why is oscorb powered by tanks of electric eels and how did falling into them make Dillion into electro and fix his teeth? I thought the reason why people liked amazing Spider-Man and hated the rami trilogy was because it was actually serious?” From that point on everything that happened just made me groan more and more
@@A-Smartass-that-people-love Be brave on the internet, fellow person. If you like something, don't be afraid to say that. When a real-life Carnage gets to play the most iconic speedster in the whole comics platform and ruins it, and herds of mindless 'people' comment that his movie was gReAt, then saying ASM2 was great becomes a fact.
So much of the 1st movie's success had a lot to do with environment -- gritty might not have worked at the time. The country was reeling from a terrorist attack. Things were changing. There's something nice about seeing such a sugar sweet setting, instead of violence that felt too real, too soon. 100% it brought back comic book movies back as well. That kiss we now giggle at, was adorably romantic at the time. It's an odd movie now to look back at, but iconic, kind of the same phenomena with the Avatar movie.
When looking at the first goblin fight, try to remember it's a comic movie, where zaniness is very common. This scene captured that pretty well, partly due to the cgi being how it is.
This is what I've always loved about nostalgia critic, yeah he's loud and expressive, but he's a genuine critic, he voices his opinion, and makes constructive reviews. I respect this guy's opinion very much.
To be honest, I kinda like his current reviews better than his beginning where he enforces memes to be a thing. Bat Credit Card, Of Course, and so many force jokes.
@@RC-we4gt maybe if this wasn't the collection and his review of 2 didn't come out but: He does adress it and the same people rated the ADs that had it were rated G
I still really like these movies. I will never understand people that will like a movie, but the moment a better movie comes out their suddenly low tier trash. No. Just because there are better movies doesn't mean these ones are horrible. I don't think their the best spider man movies but I also don't think their the worst. Heck I'd even say that there aren't any truly bad Spider-Man movies. Simply because it's kind of difficult to get him wrong.
Agreed. I still break out the Raimi trilogy DVDs once in a while just because I like them and think they're worth rewatching. Sure, the MCU Spidey movies are technically better in almost every way, and I rewatch those too, but like you said, they don't invalidate the quality of the Raimi movies. The reverse is also true, if something was bad when it came out, it doesn't suddenly become good when something worse comes out. For example, the Star Wars trilogies - when the second of the Sequel Trilogy came out, suddenly people who had once decried the Prequel Trilogy as hot garbage were singing its praises and I was like, "But ... they're still bad movies. The sequels suck, yes, but the prequels also suck."
@@calebmauer1751 I'd rather not start down that path - if we did that, then Tommy Wiseau's The Room would also get an honorable "good movie" status because of the memes it generated.
Fun fact: The spider that bit Tobey wasn't naturally red and blue, it was naturally brown as it was a Steatoda spider. The reason it's red and blue is because the make up crew painted it to give it those colors, They also originally planned for the spider to be a black widow, but it was changed for OBVIOUS reasons.
I like Garfield's acting and the script written around him is great except how it would translate in real life. He's a nerd and he isn't even the one being bullied by Flash. You know you got a character wrong when one of the most important character rivalries is done wrong. He gets the hot girl in a minute and a half. There are no complications for him as a character except for when the plot pushes his character forward in the story.
@@killar1one I actually believed he was a nerd at first. They wrote him pretty alpha though so it quickly worn out. But he could actually act nerdy so idk
I remember in a interview with Sam Raimi he said that the studio wanted him to put the black suit In even though they already had sandman and harry. Bottom line the studio gave him a lot of work. And that’s why the film has mixed opinions.
Honestly I can’t help but feel joy hearing some of these lines not because they’re good but because they’re cheesy and funny and entertaining dumb but entertaining.
"My son the astronaut" actually works really well. I remember a lot of people complaining about that line because it felt forced, but considering that it's coming from JJJ, it totally fits. I can't imagine him NOT mentioning that his son is an astronaut in every conversation
I enjoyed first-time watching these Spider-Man movies: they are paced very well, have interesting hero and villian you can relate to. Even with all the stupidity they are easy to watch when you dont expect too much.
Loving these extended film series review edits. I suggest pasting together the chipmunk review saga into a single video. It’s funny and rewatcheable, there’s plenty of it and there’s already a playlist of them up people are watching, so demand is there. Keep up the good work y’all!
Mentioning that you came to believe that Bruce Campbell was playing the same guy in all three movies is actually pretty on point, as Sam Raimi's plan was that he *was* playing the same guy - and that he was actually none other than Mysterio.
39:58 How did I never notice until now that this is Emily Deschanel, who played the titular role in the TV series "Bones"? That show started airing only one year after this film was shot too, so she's easily recognisable. (and yes, that's Zooey Deschanel's sister).
I will say that JJ Jameson's line 'My son, the astronaut' always hit me as a 'he brags A LOT about his kid, any chance he gets' not 'terrible exposition' To me, it just seemed like that one parent that will take literally any chance to talk about their kid and their accomplishments. Also, Venom was amazing, screw you. It gave us an interesting dynamic of Venom and Eddie, the actors were great, especially anytime Eddie had to show that he was frightened. Not to mention, Dan is the best boyfriend ever put to film.
I'll give you that some elements of Venom were fun and bizarre in an early 2000s sorts of way lol. It was ultimately an entertaining film, but "amazing"?
I thought Dan was going to be one of those boyfriend-characters who was secretly working for the main villain the whole time. I'm glad he was actually just a really friendly guy who wanted to be friends with Eddie.
As a pro wrestling fan, myself, I agree with what The Nostalgia Critic said at 14:52-14:57 about Randy "The Macho Man" Savage, 100%. When he died, I was as shocked as the next pro wrestling fan when the news first broke.
Stan Lee made a 'Knight Rider' reference at 1:15:04-1:15:11, I believe. Wilton Knight says that to David Hasselhoff in the first episode before he passes away.
47:23 after that I had to pause this video and watch the full scene, that was perhaps the most shocking scene I had seen as kid and boy oh boy did I love it
Sam Raimi himself admitted that he did not care for the character of Venom and did not have any plan to include him in the original script of the movie. I would’ve really liked to see Spider-Man 3 in an alternate universe done in a way of how Sam actually wanted it to turn out.
"And I'm dating your daughter [who is hanging off the ledge of a collapsing sky-scraper and all I'm going to do is calmly stand here and take photos of her about to die because freelance photography pays so well (sarcasm); I'm an excellent boyfriend]"
People are always like while Spider-Man 3 Sandman scene is fantastic and I sit there and look at them and say yeah it's almost like that's the movie Sam Raimi wanted to make
58:27 one-liner Doc OC: "I grow tired of these games!" Spiderman: "then let me give you a *hand*" or Doc OC: "it's *Time* to finish this!" Spiderman: "Just give me a minute."
I know it was not your favorite but the very final episode of Spiderman TAS made me appreciate the whole show when Spiderman actually loved his life in spite of how hard life is for him, plus meeting Stan Lee (the animated version of him) was cool
1:21:55 harry faking his amnesia like Norman do in the comics would of been awesome and kinda help not waste time with a movie juggling 3 villians, 1 with temporary amnesia (too bad there's no spider man 2 level evidence that he secretly was doing just that lol)
Can’t lie-, while playing the 2018 Spiderman game with all the Easter eggs to movies and comics it has AND the fact Doc Oc ends up being the villain- I was utterly bummed they didn’t sneak a fight between the two on top of a train as a wink to this movie. This whole scene would of made one hell of a boss fight
@@toxicdemon1315 for sure- and the fight against Mr. Negative was cool but I was still hoping for it to be against doc oc. But that is me just nitpicking a great game
48:54 surprisingly enough the guy who the people who made Spectacular Spider-Man actually made this line work, all it took was a bit of tweaking to the context like you were suggesting here and boom they made it work
@@questworldiangreenknight7455 I must admit I didn't actually read ANY of the comics so I didn't know that Gwen was a character (that actually ALREADY died years ago in one of the issues!), so I kinda teared up when she died in the 2nd movie! 😢
55:45 - I disagree with Doug's comment on saying it doesn't add anything to the story. There's a great video explaining the significance of this scene. I love this moment a lot because it's a ray of hope for Peter. After being crapped on for the entire movie, he has the dialogue in his apartment within himself, seeming like there's no hope for himself. But Ursula shows Peter there's still hope for him in the midst of the hardships he is experiencing. And that ray of hope can turn into a way out of the turmoil, and into the light.
When I was a kid I actually thought the first Sam Ramey Spider-Man was kinda scary, but actually was ok with the sequel. I guess Doc Oc wasn't disturbingly scary, rather respectfully intimidating.
27:58 There were action-figure play-sets of this. You put the magnetic scale-replica mask on the edge of the doll's-house chair, to activate one of twelve fun phrases.
1:22:26 ah come on. That was by far the funniest scene in the movie. Her breaking up with him and the immediate crying made me laugh so hard. And I was the ONLY one in the theater laughing my ass off at how bad the scene was performed.

“The Spider-Man’s were occasionally emotional but leaned more towards non-threatening ideas and imagery.”
This is such a terrible point. Anyone who has seen these movies knows they are filled with dark themes and imagery (Aunt May breaking down when Peter won’t take her money, Green Goblin attacking May, Doc Ock’s birth, the Thanksgiving scene etc.) In addition, Spider-Man 2 is still regarded as one of the best because of its focus on drama and character. The action scenes are great, but they are not the primary drive of the movie nor the most interesting part.
I liked all of these movies, ive always said Tobey nailed the geeky dork side of Peter, Andrew nailed the comedic spider-man and Tom is good at both.
I dont think Amazing Spider-man 2 is that bad
Are you crazy?!?! Never say "I dont think Amazing Spider-Man 2 is that bad" on the internet! Spider-Man 3 taught us that when it comes to opinions and the Wall-Crawler, the Internet is ruthless!
I remember feeling that way about spider man 3 when it came out. I was like “it wasn’t THAT bad guys” years later I saw spider man 2 and I was like “this movie is atrocious. First off why is oscorb powered by tanks of electric eels and how did falling into them make Dillion into electro and fix his teeth? I thought the reason why people liked amazing Spider-Man and hated the rami trilogy was because it was actually serious?” From that point on everything that happened just made me groan more and more
@@A-Smartass-that-people-love Be brave on the internet, fellow person. If you like something, don't be afraid to say that. When a real-life Carnage gets to play the most iconic speedster in the whole comics platform and ruins it, and herds of mindless 'people' comment that his movie was gReAt, then saying ASM2 was great becomes a fact.
Spider-Man 2 is still undoubtedly the best movie of the series.
I think TASM1 is, but I love SM2
Obviously my favorite childhood superhero movie

What about Spider-Verse? And I honestly love the MCU ones.
@@coolnerdlll6053 Still not as good as Spider-Man 2 in my opinion. Although Spiderverse is great. And I like Homecoming.
So much of the 1st movie's success had a lot to do with environment -- gritty might not have worked at the time. The country was reeling from a terrorist attack. Things were changing. There's something nice about seeing such a sugar sweet setting, instead of violence that felt too real, too soon.
100% it brought back comic book movies back as well. That kiss we now giggle at, was adorably romantic at the time. It's an odd movie now to look back at, but iconic, kind of the same phenomena with the Avatar movie.
I love the Raimi-Trilogy so much, basically have every single figure which was so expensive and also incredibly hard to find
1:48:29, fun fact, that father there is played by C. Thomas Howell, who played Ponyboy in the Outsiders and Voiced Reverse Flash in Flashpoint Paradox
When looking at the first goblin fight, try to remember it's a comic movie, where zaniness is very common. This scene captured that pretty well, partly due to the cgi being how it is.
This is what I've always loved about nostalgia critic, yeah he's loud and expressive, but he's a genuine critic, he voices his opinion, and makes constructive reviews. I respect this guy's opinion very much.
Me too! Also nice profile pic. Can’t wait for that Lego Star Wars game
To be honest, I kinda like his current reviews better than his beginning where he enforces memes to be a thing. Bat Credit Card, Of Course, and so many force jokes.
Except wen he omits things that explain things he doesn't understand like the skeleton bomb for PG-13
@@RC-we4gt maybe if this wasn't the collection and his review of 2 didn't come out but:
He does adress it and the same people rated the ADs that had it were rated G
He's definitely guilty of nitpicking, but it's gotten so much less in recent years. I love watching his videos :)
I still really like these movies.
I will never understand people that will like a movie, but the moment a better movie comes out their suddenly low tier trash.
No. Just because there are better movies doesn't mean these ones are horrible.
I don't think their the best spider man movies but I also don't think their the worst. Heck I'd even say that there aren't any truly bad Spider-Man movies.
Simply because it's kind of difficult to get him wrong.
True. If I had to choose my least favorite it’d be Spider-Man 2
Agreed. I still break out the Raimi trilogy DVDs once in a while just because I like them and think they're worth rewatching. Sure, the MCU Spidey movies are technically better in almost every way, and I rewatch those too, but like you said, they don't invalidate the quality of the Raimi movies.
The reverse is also true, if something was bad when it came out, it doesn't suddenly become good when something worse comes out. For example, the Star Wars trilogies - when the second of the Sequel Trilogy came out, suddenly people who had once decried the Prequel Trilogy as hot garbage were singing its praises and I was like, "But ... they're still bad movies. The sequels suck, yes, but the prequels also suck."
@@calebmauer1751 I'd rather not start down that path - if we did that, then Tommy Wiseau's The Room would also get an honorable "good movie" status because of the memes it generated.
@@calebmauer1751 "Oh hai Mark" and "You are tearing me APART Lisa!" were fairly popular a few years ago among some more obscure references.
@@Dargonhuman I’m sorry, but the mcu spider man movies are not better than the raimi trilogy.
Don't care what anyone says, first 2 films were/are still pretty awesome.
Dead ass. Go watch hitop films video of these.
Don't think anybody disagrees
@@FluffyIronGolems I mean the nostalgia critic doesn't really seem to like them that much...
I don't like these films
@@Freindlyneigbourhoodspidey its okay not everyone likes the best one's.
You’re right The Amazing Spider-Man series is good. It has flaws, but it has good and memorable moments
Fun fact: The spider that bit Tobey wasn't naturally red and blue, it was naturally brown as it was a Steatoda spider. The reason it's red and blue is because the make up crew painted it to give it those colors, They also originally planned for the spider to be a black widow, but it was changed for OBVIOUS reasons.
I honestly love Garfield's acting. He looks and acts Just like Peter Parker would in real life, at least I imagine it so
I like Garfield's acting and the script written around him is great except how it would translate in real life. He's a nerd and he isn't even the one being bullied by Flash. You know you got a character wrong when one of the most important character rivalries is done wrong. He gets the hot girl in a minute and a half. There are no complications for him as a character except for when the plot pushes his character forward in the story.
Andrew actually resembles Steve Ditko’s original artwork of Peter 😆 At least I think so.

I remember in a interview with Sam Raimi he said that the studio wanted him to put the black suit In even though they already had sandman and harry. Bottom line the studio gave him a lot of work. And that’s why the film has mixed opinions.
Honestly I can’t help but feel joy hearing some of these lines not because they’re good but because they’re cheesy and funny and entertaining dumb but entertaining.
Thats why Hollywood is in colapse right now.
Because many people like you are enjoying dumb movies...

"My son the astronaut" actually works really well. I remember a lot of people complaining about that line because it felt forced, but considering that it's coming from JJJ, it totally fits. I can't imagine him NOT mentioning that his son is an astronaut in every conversation
1:39:01 I actually liked Martin Sheen's version of the "With Great Power..." maxim. It's a motto that I always live by!
I still can't help but laugh at the Toonami parody at 1:56:42-1:57:47.
Great job!...
I enjoyed first-time watching these Spider-Man movies: they are paced very well, have interesting hero and villian you can relate to. Even with all the stupidity they are easy to watch when you dont expect too much.
Loving these extended film series review edits. I suggest pasting together the chipmunk review saga into a single video. It’s funny and rewatcheable, there’s plenty of it and there’s already a playlist of them up people are watching, so demand is there. Keep up the good work y’all!
Honestly, Doctor Octavius ripping the surgeons around is the most terrifying scene in Spider-Man 2.
It scared me as a kid. I thought my dad had put in Saw instead
Mentioning that you came to believe that Bruce Campbell was playing the same guy in all three movies is actually pretty on point, as Sam Raimi's plan was that he *was* playing the same guy - and that he was actually none other than Mysterio.
These were my introduction to Spiderman, and I still love them

39:58 How did I never notice until now that this is Emily Deschanel, who played the titular role in the TV series "Bones"? That show started airing only one year after this film was shot too, so she's easily recognisable. (and yes, that's Zooey Deschanel's sister).
her with her freakishly blue eyes: damn how could you tell?
the Uncle Ben’s rice joke had me laughing so hard more than i just did at the “Oh you got shot, I missed the part where that’s my problem”
I will say that JJ Jameson's line 'My son, the astronaut' always hit me as a 'he brags A LOT about his kid, any chance he gets' not 'terrible exposition' To me, it just seemed like that one parent that will take literally any chance to talk about their kid and their accomplishments.
Also, Venom was amazing, screw you. It gave us an interesting dynamic of Venom and Eddie, the actors were great, especially anytime Eddie had to show that he was frightened. Not to mention, Dan is the best boyfriend ever put to film.
I'll give you that some elements of Venom were fun and bizarre in an early 2000s sorts of way lol. It was ultimately an entertaining film, but "amazing"?
@@acidrain92 I watch movies purely for entertainment value. If it entertained me, I automatically enjoy it. So yes, I found it amazing.
I thought Dan was going to be one of those boyfriend-characters who was secretly working for the main villain the whole time. I'm glad he was actually just a really friendly guy who wanted to be friends with Eddie.
Yeah thats like... textbook "Look how much my kid and my extension I have accomplished" stuff.

As a pro wrestling fan, myself, I agree with what The Nostalgia Critic said at 14:52-14:57 about Randy "The Macho Man" Savage, 100%.
When he died, I was as shocked as the next pro wrestling fan when the news first broke.
Stan Lee made a 'Knight Rider' reference at 1:15:04-1:15:11, I believe.
Wilton Knight says that to David Hasselhoff in the first episode before he passes away.

Best Spider Man catchphrase is.....DELIVERING PIZZA!
47:23 after that I had to pause this video and watch the full scene, that was perhaps the most shocking scene I had seen as kid and boy oh boy did I love it
Sam Raimi himself admitted that he did not care for the character of Venom and did not have any plan to include him in the original script of the movie. I would’ve really liked to see Spider-Man 3 in an alternate universe done in a way of how Sam actually wanted it to turn out.
"And I'm dating your daughter [who is hanging off the ledge of a collapsing sky-scraper and all I'm going to do is calmly stand here and take photos of her about to die because freelance photography pays so well (sarcasm); I'm an excellent boyfriend]"
People are always like while Spider-Man 3 Sandman scene is fantastic and I sit there and look at them and say yeah it's almost like that's the movie Sam Raimi wanted to make

I straight up love the Raimi Spider-Man films. They were the first and I enjoyed the heck out of them.
Ik the campiness was part of the charm. They wouldn't have worked any other way
"FINISH IT!!!"
"FINISH IT!!!"
I just realized the new yorker who was talking about Spider-man's "tights" was thirsting over a high schooler
Well, he graduated before that scene, so technically she wasn't.
I know it was not your favorite but the very final episode of Spiderman TAS made me appreciate the whole show when Spiderman actually loved his life in spite of how hard life is for him, plus meeting Stan Lee (the animated version of him) was cool
1:21:55 harry faking his amnesia like Norman do in the comics would of been awesome and kinda help not waste time with a movie juggling 3 villians, 1 with temporary amnesia (too bad there's no spider man 2 level evidence that he secretly was doing just that lol)

Can’t lie-, while playing the 2018 Spiderman game with all the Easter eggs to movies and comics it has AND the fact Doc Oc ends up being the villain- I was utterly bummed they didn’t sneak a fight between the two on top of a train as a wink to this movie.
This whole scene would of made one hell of a boss fight
They at least paid homage to the train scene with him trying to stop the subway but failing
@@toxicdemon1315 for sure- and the fight against Mr. Negative was cool but I was still hoping for it to be against doc oc. But that is me just nitpicking a great game
I'll never forget 1994 Spider-Man it had an Aerosmith opening and it had the Proto spider-verse

Fair enough.
1:58:20 i love that the mask is on wrong just a bit, that is such a great touch
55:45 - I disagree with Doug's comment on saying it doesn't add anything to the story. There's a great video explaining the significance of this scene. I love this moment a lot because it's a ray of hope for Peter. After being crapped on for the entire movie, he has the dialogue in his apartment within himself, seeming like there's no hope for himself. But Ursula shows Peter there's still hope for him in the midst of the hardships he is experiencing. And that ray of hope can turn into a way out of the turmoil, and into the light.
I still love the Sam Ramie movies though.
When I was a kid I actually thought the first Sam Ramey Spider-Man was kinda scary, but actually was ok with the sequel. I guess Doc Oc wasn't disturbingly scary, rather respectfully intimidating.
11:33 RIP to a good man. We miss you, Bob Saget.
