Willem Dafoe is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors of our generation.

All I’m gonna tell you is this when it comes to watching these movies before Holland’s: It WILL be worth it, more than you realize

That scene with Tobey catching all the food on the tray was done without cgi and took him 156 takes to do :)

The best thing about the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies is how they made Peter Parker's life relatable even though his alter ego Spider-Man is a superhero. They made Peter's life relatable and you actually feel for him when he has to make the tough sacrifices to be the hero. Even without the action scenes, you can watch these movies just with the good dialogues because you feel connected to the characters. Even Mary Jane, who people sometimes criticize for being a damsel, is well written. Sure the screaming is annoying, but she is a strong character. You dont need to have muscles and ripped physique to be called a strong character. Her arc is relatable, she has ambitions of her own to make it in the real world. She was raised in an abusive household and all she ever wanted want some comfort. Thats why she seeked that from the boyfriends and only Peter could give it to her. Thats why when she says to Peter that he made her feel, "THAT I AM MORE THAN I EVER THOUGHT I COULD BE, THAT I AM JUST, ME." That is great writing to make you feel for the character. Aunt May is the anchor in Peter's life. Whenever there is trouble in Peter's life, Aunt May is the wise person to pull him out of the darkness. Thats why I hated what they did with Marisa Tomei in the Tom Holland movies and virtually made her a cheerleader rather than a wise guide that Peter can always go to.

Rosemary Harris simply killed it, as Aunt May. She was so brilliant and endearing.

Tobey Maguire's spider- man is my favorite not to mention he's the best spider-man and no one can change my mind

“Dude you need to be sued, bc you’re pretending to be a teenager when you’re really a 45 year old man with a mortgage and 3 kids” that was hilarious 😭😂😂. I recently rewatched these films aswell (after so many years) and all I could think abt was how old the “kids” look. Especially Flash haha

This is the only Spider-Man movie that gives his iconic back-story, with Uncle Ben's death and the line "with great power comes great responsibility," which encapsulates the underlying motive for all super-heroes.

Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin was PERFECT casting. That cackle still gives me goosebumps What's ironic is that Joe Manganiello, who plays the bully Flash Thompson in this, is one of the biggest D&D nerds alive :D

I can't believe that this movie is 20 years old. It doesn't feel that long ago. I remember when it was the 90's and feeling like the 70's was so far back in the past.

"I have a father, his name was Ben Parker." These words always makes me cry

Tobey Maguire the best spiderman and This was the second Marvel superhero I watched and the first was Blade There are many scenes I like in this movie first the upside down kiss Secondly when he discovered her ability to sense things around him in slow motion at school Third when he returns to the house and the green goblin He almost seeing him and a drop of blood falls

This trilogy is what I grew up with and I’m glad you’re watching it! These films are incredible!

So a little easter egg for this movie: it was Sam Raimies idea to make the webs come out of the wrists. In the comics there are machines to shoot web, Web-shooters., and that's why it changes in the Garfield and the Holland ones. So that's one of changes that this movie did

Your idea to watch these before going forward is wise. That said, ALL of the non MCU marvel live action movies are becoming increasingly important as the overall story is going on in the MCU as it is today. You may want to add X-men, Deadpool, Blade etc. movies to your watch list. Also the Marvel Netflix shows.

This actually wasn’t technically Marvel when it came out. It was Sony, but Spider-Man is a Marvel Comics character. Sony and Marvel didn’t band together and bring Spidey into our current cinematic Universe until 2017 with the first Tom Holland Spider-man movie coming out ( well, actually you could say Civil War, but he wasn’t solidified as a reoccurring character until he got his solo movie). This will always remain my favorite non Marvel studios Marvel film, and big extention favorite live action comic book movie of all time. Definitely a rewatchable classic at this point. Can’t wait for you to react to Spider-Man 2, it’s the best one out of all three.

Colette, in a short amount of time you have become one of my favorite reactors. Clever, sassy and sharp. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for your reaction! By the way, the fact that you somewhat resemble Gwen Stacy from the second Spider-Man movie series, you’re wearing the suit from the third Spider-Man series, AND you’re watching the first Spidey trilogy… that’s some serious No Way Home stuff here 😂

"Tobey Maguire? Where'd he go?" He took some time off from acting for a while, but I think I saw him in something last year.

Whenever Colette rides a rollercoaster, the entire theme parks hears her cheers and yells.

That kiss is legendary.

Spot-on reaction, loved every minute of it. You are really fun to watch, this is the first decent movie adaption of one of my childhood favorites and you totally got it. Good job.

No matter how many times I watch this movie especially from reactions, there's a certain magic to this film that I cannot explain. Maybe it came out at the perfect time or something but it has stood the test of time and remembered fondly. The sequel however is much better than this movie and is one of the big 3 of super hero movies. Honestly looking forward to seeing your reaction to the second one.

Norman Osborn has a split personality, one is Osborn, and the other is the Green Goblin. At the beginning of the movie, Osborn was whole and he was inspiring, proud, and egos, when he took the formula to himself, he became two persons in one body, one is an innocent man and a villain who wants more.

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.

Let's have a shout out to the late Cliff Robertson (Uncle Ben). A versatile actor who's career started in 1943 and included roles ranging from The Big Kahuna in the original Gidget (1959) with Sandra Dee to future President John F. Kennedy in P.T. 109 (1963).

Witnessing that iconic fight scene between Spiderman and the Green Goblin in the movie theatre as a 13 year old in 2002 was a cultural reset for me

The first time she said that it came out in 2003 I let it go, but the second time she said it, I died inside. The movie came out in 2002 by the way.

"Bone Saw" is portrayed by a pro wrestler, the late "Macho Man" Randy Savage, even using the Savage signature move, the diving elbow off the ropes. This was after Hulk Hogan appeared in Rocky 3. This led to a lot if wrestlers appearing in movies, but relatively few actors trying to be wrestlers. Wrestling involves a lot if acting, but wrestlers don't get to back up and start over when they foul up.

If there's anything that the Raimi trilogy has over all other Spiderman movies, maybe even the Marvel Universe, is that it has HEART. These movies are so iconic to me. That Danny Elfman theme music is forever ingrained into my brain and probably will never forget it.

17:11 probably one of the best scenes in the movie. And its just a conversation scene. But you can actually see what each character is at that point and where they want to go.

I love that you're going through those. The MCU is making a lot more movies more relevant to watch. Like X-Men, Deadpool, Blade, heck, even Fantastic Four. You don't need to watch Blade yet, but the rest is pretty much a must at this point You now have TONS of content to release regarding all these Marvel movies, and I can't wait to watch it all

Willem Dafoe is such an incredible actor

The first five Spider-Man movies ARE important for the MCU, even if they may not appear to be important. Not gonna say why, though.

Great reaction, Colette--- I also thought Dafoe (He's done lots of madman roles )and the guy who played J.J. Jameson were perfect--they acted thier lines just like the characters in the comic and dam, u looked smokin' hot in the costume!!

I prefer this trilogy over any MCU film this trilogy is so good Tobey is definitely the best Spider-Man

“Who am I…I’m kickass”😂

Hey, Colette! I know you're pretty invested in Marvel films right now, but this one always reminds me how great Tobey was in "Pleasantville" (1998). It's another one with a whole lot of nostalgia to it. You might enjoy to see it before you start "Wandavision," if you haven't already.

4:16 "..when you're really, like, a 45-year-old man with a mortgage and three kids!" Joe Manganiello was actually 26 when this film was released. He's a year and a half younger than Tobey Maguire! 😝

This hits VERY differently after watching No Way Home now.

Love your reactions and the energy you put out... also Glad you decided to go back these older ones take me back and you look great in that spider man costume so I welcome any excuse for you to wear it...

Oh my god! It's Gwen Stacy, and she's reaction to the Sam Raimi 'Spider-man' movie. "Hey, beautiful."😊

This was the spider man I grew up with and I love all of them yes even the hated 3 these movies definitely are one of my favorite things to watch tobey will always be my Spider-Man

You've very right about the transitions and other story elements having a nostalgic feel, but they also did at the time of release (though the movie definitely shows elements of being a 2003 film, as well). Sam Raimi, a visionary, groundbreaking director who has absolutely changed how we tell stories visually while being completely irreverent (kinda an Andy Kaufman deal, maybe?), chose to lean really heavily into both the story and the feel, narratively and visually, of the original Spider-Man comics, and it works *so* well. This film could easily have felt cheesy in less talented hands, but Raimi et al bring such earnestness to it that you never question buying-in. Major elements of the MCU owe their emotional weight to this series of movies. Don't wanna give spoilers, but I think those who know can guess what I mean. Holland is a great Spider-Man, but Tobey got the world to fall in love with Peter Parker. He manages to be the underdog and the hero at the same time; if you ask yourself in any given situation, "What would Spider-Man do?", it's probably the right choice. BTW, it's a fair question as to why Goblin didn't unmask Spider-Man when he had the chance. I think the answer is that GG really wanted Peter to join him of his own free will. If he blackmailed Parker into doing so, Spider-Man would always be looking for a way to get out from under Gobby's thumb. At least, that's what Goblin would do in that situation, so he assumed the same of our wall-crawling friend, probably accurately. There's something of a Batman/Joker vibe here; Goblin, who only wants power, is kinda fascinated by someone who doesn't, and probably more than a little threatened.

love your reaction to the announcer giving peter the spider man name

Love the suit! And spiderman definitely has Batman's disappearance skill mastered.

20:07 doggo just having the time of his life in the background 😭

52:43 MJ has forearms of steel, giving her incredible grip strength! 😝

Tobey Maguire will always be my favorite Spider-Man

Amazing reaction colette👍🏽 very entertaining, you are very funny. Glad you like spiderman, costume is 🔥 “nice tight ankles”😂

You finally got the intro outfit right to the movie! :D

This is still the best spiderman suit ever

There was another live action Spider-Man in the seventies played by Nicholas Hammond. The Pilot and two pairs of episodes was shown internationally on the big screen as Spider-Man, Spider-Man Strikes Back and Spider-Man: the Dragon's Challenge.

This is easily the best Spider-Man ever made.

Fun fact willem Dafoe did the stunt work for the green goblin in order to give him that villainy look because he felt a stunt double wouldn't be able to

A like before the video and a comment hun. Nice cosplay you wore for this reaction. I'll give you another comment after the video sweetie.

I find it funny how it's her " first time " watching this but she perfectly guesses what happens next

Willem Dafoe as green Goblin is perfect

You know when you have a bad friend when he or she goes after your crush

Bruce Campbell, the wrestling announcer, already had a well-established working relationship with Sam Raimi, the director. Look for him in other roles in 2 and 3.

My absolute favourite movie ever, they captured Spider-Man’s origin story like no other franchise did. Sam Raimi’s Trilogy is the best adaptation of Spider-Man

Watching Willem Dafoe is a pleasure

41:34 Your scream and the Goblin's scream were in nearly perfect synchronization! Bravo, ma'am! 🙂

How it's done basically is that one person has to be standing or sitting while the other person some how has to be upside down.

0:06 the first Spiderman movie (in as this one) was actually in 2002

the good old days of high school movies where the kids look older than the actual teachers, i miss that time

Okay the reaction was high pitched full of energy. You did good sister. Your casual Spidey cosplay was on point hun. In terms of Spidey actors. Tobey is my number 1 ❤ I will always prefer him.

She had me dead when she said see good guys don't finish last 🤣🤣🤣🤣that's comedy this was one of ur best reactions awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

Nostalgia at 1000%. My very first film of Spider-Man. Today is still the coolest Spider-Man ever.

12:36 Tobey Maguire insisted on doing this for real. They had to shoot it many times until he caught it all perfectly.

Hi Colette!🙂Looking very cute in your Spider-Woman costume!🕷👱🏽‍♀♥💙Great reactions to Sam Raimi's Spider-Man origin story!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Tobey Maguire is many fans favorite that first saw him as Spider-Man.

I love your spider suit and these movies are so iconic and the best Spider-Man movies too bye is the GOAT my childhood

The spider that bit Peter was real and had a tiny shell molded to it.

Spider-Man was released in theaters May 3rd 2002 making this movie 21 years since being filmed 😶

Fun fact about this movie: the original posters and trailers had to be pulled because they featured shots of the Twin Towers and since the movie came out in 2002, that was an issue for obvious reasons.

Am I the only guy that thought something different when she said "this is the moment he learned how to shoot web" 🤣

Fun fact after this movie came out and the scene where spider man / Peter Parker and Mary Jane kissed when spider man was upside down, a lot of people started calling that style of kissing, the spider man kiss.

Tobey dropped out of acting for so long is cause he had children and wanted to take care of them

The soundtrack for Spiderman Tobey maguire is another level. This is the thing with old films. They have alot talented people with soundtrack that you can feel it not only hear it. The soundtrack is just another level they put and sync with the scene very well. And you can have some goosebump Everytime i heard the soundtrack opening Spiderman Tobey Maguire it's just makes me wanna cry. It feels truly emotional in some of way. Well maybe because when i was a kid this is the first superhero movie that i love to watch. Anyway. It's a good movie. Every movie has it own flaws. This movie too. But that doesn't mean overall bad. It's just good it's own way

You should stop being so delightful Colette, it's addictive. That being said, your reactions always put a smile on my face, so I'll be back. Have a good weekend.

The director Sam Raimi also directed Dr. Strange: Multiverse of Madness! One of the most epic solo films of the MCU!

LOL I love the museum scene. The only one there who looked young enough to be in high school is the teacher! 🤣

I believe Norman was never evil. It was the Goblin the whole time. At the end I think the Goblin was acting to be Norman. Just my opinion

I really fw this spiderman like that ending battle is so brutal and gritty tom ain't got shit on this

That was amazing to see Spiderman reacting to himself😂. Maybe other super heroes will follow😉👍

Now THAT’s proper adaptation. 😉

Good reaction...but it's actually a 2001 movie, but released in 2002 instead due to the attacks on 9/11/2001. The original release date was supposed to be around September 2001, and the trailers depicted Spider-Man swinging by the World Trade Center buildings. But after the attack, the studio held back the 2001 release date out of respect, and instead released in in 2002 (not 2003). So, all of the effects are really from 2000/2001. Also, by 2001 people weren't really using newspapers that much to look for things listed to buy... but I suppose that movies and TV shows (just like today), still use old tech to make a point poetically. For instance, even in current movies and TV shows, Hollywood still uses the 'Answering Machine' as a means for characters to check messages, even though people mostly stopped using answering machines since the early 1990s when Voice Mail became a thing. Btw, it's a good movie, but one of my pet peeves about it is that this script was obviously written by a non-New Yorker who thinks that Queens (which is a borough of NYC) is somehow a great distance away from Manhattan, when in fact that #7 Subway line that Peter Parker and Mary Jane live close to, would easily take them to Manhattan in about 10 mins for a $1 (ONE dollar) subway ride at that time...lol. As someone who lives in NYC, people travel between Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Manhattan effortlessly...lol. (Except during rush hour with packed trains). And the drive is also very short (10-15 mins) without traffic. And yes, I purposely left out the borough of Staten Island...lol

RIP Laura Ziskin Thanks for giving life and depth to this beautiful franchise

i love how in the dinner at 44:07 peter and norman are wearing eachothers costume colors

Yes, it is. My only regret is that we didnt see James Cameron's take on Spider-Man. Other than that, I cant imagine a more perfect beginning for the web-slinger on the big screen

Fun fact: in the cafeteria scene when Peter stops MJ from falling and catches her lunch on the trey for her to say: wow great reflexes. Toby actually performed that himself and caught it all on the lunch trey, no cgi,no strings 😁

Spiderman may be campy and quirky now but its a beautiful film a film that is meant for souls looking for action of love

Willem dagoat 🐐

“Trying to evolve the human race always ends terribly” Casually ignoring Peter and his powers with no negative side effects I see.

Fun Fact: the announcer in the wrestling match was played by Ash Williams himself Bruce Campbell who also appeared in other 2 Sam Raimi's Spider-man movies. The character Ash Williams was from Sam Raimi's evil dead trilogy.

my first reaction I am watching of yours; so excited!!!

I've never seen anyone wear a spiderman suit and also not know a single thing about the spiderman franchise lmao

awesome vid, hope to see more spidey reactions!!

"Bonesaw? What a stupid name" Lol he's not gonna take too kindly to that!

If you couldn't see the looks on her face you'd think her reactions were fake...so enjoyable to see her innocent perspective....
