This is one of the best origin movies. It's just so good. So cheesy (in a good way), so fun, and full of heart. MJ ain't that great, but the movie is still strong. The movie is a throwback to the Stan Lee/Steve Ditko classic Spidey. It's supposed to be cheesy. Rami nailed the heart of Spider-Man, and made you care about Peter before he put on the mask. Can't fucking wait to watch Spider-Man 2, one of the top tier comic book films. And I'm excited for Spider-Man 3 as well because it's not as bad as people act like it is. It's a mess at times for sure, but there's some good shit in there.

A lot of Nick's gripes with this movie have to do with Sam Raimi's directing style. The cheesiness, the crash zooms. It's all part of the package, man! And I, for one, will never leave Sam Raimi's wild ride :)

Willem Dafoe is a scary man, but a lovable scary.

This movie will always hold a special place in my heart. Watching it for the first time, it felt like Fox Kid's "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" came to life. This movie still holds up as the best definitive origin story right under Batman Begins. This movie being set in New York so close after 9/11 made it feel even more special at the time.

I can't believe how much they crap on this movie. It's like watching 89 Batman and criticizing it for not being a modern superhero movie

Nick and Andy between 54:00 and 54:30 might be my favourite part of this in review series 😂

Take a shot anytime someone in the movie says "Don't tell Harry."

bruhh why soooo much hate for tobey i honestly dont see it

Kevin says organic webbing would run out. But an actual spiders doesnt

Idk I like Toby McGuire a lot honestly.

Didn't need to rewatch this one, I watched it at least 100 times as a kid.

Andy and Nick laughing is so contagious haha

Kinda Funny in August 2018: JK Simmons *_is_* J. Jonah Jameson. Bring him back. July 2019: J.K. Simmons reprises the role in _Spider-Man: Far From Home_

As a film fan. I am constantly disappointed by Nick's reviews on movies. Not because he does not like certain movies but it is how he articulates his points about them. And yes I am aware he likes joking around and being funny. If only he could demonstrate an informed opinion once in a while.

I was so excited for this one love you guys keep up the great work

Love listening to everybody’s opinion , love seeing you guys enjoying what you do, keep it up ❤️

I’m so pumped for this in review series.

Don Burgess's cinematography for Spider-Man was never bested by any Spider-Man movie or even Homecoming where shots were taken from this and Rami's Spider-Man 2

You really have to take these guy's opinions on these movies with a grain of salt. They're completely contradictory on many aspects from movie to movie - which, to be fair, will happen as they're not trying to be professional reviewers. There are a few really brilliant scenes in this movie that get torn apart which is pretty disappointing. Looking forward to Spider Man 2 at least.

"And they say that a hero could save us..."

Loving the use of the redone Spidey theme from Homecoming.

There's no way this ends up at number 5. At WORST, this is the 4th best Spider-Man movie. Realistically, probably 3rd. It's better than Spider-Man 3 and both Amazing Spider-Man movies by MILES. It would be a miracle for Venom to be better than this. The only movies that would beat this are Homecoming and Spider-Man 2.

If they say anything other than Spider-Man 2 is the best, they are wrong.

You guys didn't even touch one of the best parts about this movie...THE SCORE! One of my favorite movie scores of all time.

Fun Fact: He is on the Empire State Building at the end of the film but as they pan around you see the Empire State Building in the background. Originally the towers were in the background but they replaced them because 9/11.

Still love this movie. Uber nostalgia for me, but at the same time it was my introduction to the character it holds a special space in my heart. Hopefully second one is way better like I remember it.

This is the funniest review yet. So great.

This is my favorite Spider-Man movie, think I saw this like 6 times in theaters

I always loved the Raimi suit, a lot of that goes from being under 10 when this came out. But also, I love the suit cuz Spider-Man 2 the game. Having that suit in Spider-Man PS4 is so beyond cool, it’s everything I would want from a remaster of Spider-Man 2.

This movie holds up way better than I remembered it doing. I hold it as easily the best of the Raimi trilogy.

are you watching the spider man 2.1 cut and editors cut of 3 or the normal ones?

Not trying to say it wasn't weird, but a lot of the "cheesy/bad acting" moments weren't as awful as you're making them out to be. Even if they were a bit extreme, they weren't entirely unrealistic. I acted exactly like Peter did towards the girl I crushed on in high school. Admittedly, I was a bit creepy, but I don't think leaving at the same time walking behind a girl because you're both going in the same direction and you're too nervous to start a conversation is stalker territory. We even became kinda close friends, and she totally knew I was into her. Also, I lived next to a group of sisters who I was friends with in Elementary School but stopped talking to long before High School. Every time we saw each other, it was the same sort of "I see you every day but know nothing about you, but I also know the things no one else does". I think that's sort of what's going through MJ's head. She probably has known he liked her for a long time, and he was always there in the background. So in a way, he HAS been there the whole time and they know each other if only from those small moments. She's vulnerable at the end of the movie and she's most likely just wants companionship, knowing he's the one person who would do anything for her. Edits made for clarity.

Props to Greg for actually remembering the whole movie without a paper.

All the hate makes me sad this one of my favorite superhero movies and it does have its problems but it's a movie of it's time. The style of directing makes it timeless and to me and the lack of style with homecoming and I do think Tom Holland was a good spiderman and the movie was fine but It feels generic it doesn't have its own personality it has marvels personality. but that's my opinion great vid guys

In know it’s inevitable, but how have we not gotten a Fast and Furious in review yet.

I was 4 when this film came out, and I fucking love this movie lol. I love the first two Spider-Man movies as much as people love the Reeves Superman.

Anyone out there knows how to get that official spiderman shirt that greg is wearing? I wish insomniac can release it on release day or something

Man I was looking forward to the 90s Spiderman cartoon intro

You cant rate movies based on just how well the technology has aged... in that regard, even classics won't hold up. Judge the story, theme, direction etc. Spiderman 2 absolutely holds up.

Tobey Macguire was awesome in Pleasantville. I'm sure that's what won him the role.

"He calls her on the not cell phone, the pay phone." I laughed way harder then I should've to that.

I'm gonna be mad salty if you guys shit on Spider Man 2 like you did the first. It's still REALLY good despite looking a bit outdated here and there. Also these reviews have slowly turned into like Mystery Science Theater reviews, but it's all good cause I laugh at it all the time. (I'm not actually gonna be upset, it's just a joke)

1) Spider-Man 2 2) Spider-Man 3) Spider-Man 3 4) The Amazing Spider-Man 5) The Amazing Spider-Man 2

I can see them doing Superman in review next ... I curious to see what Gregg thinks about the Donner cut lol

Why are so many of them shitting on the first Spiderman? Spiderman 1 and 2 are excellent films and far better than anything in the MCU nowadays in my opinion. The guy on the right really pissed me off with what he was saying. The films have a real style and flare and yes I suppose certain moments can be perceived as too "cheesy", but then again this is based off a comic about a guy that gets bitten by a spider and can therefore spin webs and climb walls so..........

This whole thing was fucking hilarious, best movie review you guys have done yet. The comment about Tobey Maguire always looking like he just ate an edible fucking killed me

Man I feel like nick and Tim are way too critical of this movie.

I loved rewatching this film!

Can’t wait to dig into this episode.

Nick looking sharp in this one!

Spider-Man was first movie I watched 3 times in the theater.

I love that opening!

James Cameron is credited with coming up with organic webbing for Spider-Man when he worked on a prior script.

Nick looking smooth with that denim jacket

Andy is instantly the best person on this panel by way of his Mass Effect shirt.

So...where can I buy that shirt Greg?

If I had to rank them? Spider-Man 2 Spider-Man Spider-Man Homecoming Amazing Spider-Man Spider-Man 3 Amazing Spider-Man 2 Also sorry have to disagree. There is no way in hell Spider-Man 1 is even in the same realm of absurdity as Batman & Robin. Was Spider-Man 1 campy? Absolutely. But it was campy in the same way Superman 78 was for it's time. In fact? Spider-Man played quite a bit of homage to the Superman film with Christopher Reeve. The scene where he is jumping across the New York skyline experimenting with his powers for the first time was a bit of a callback to the scene where Clark is racing the train. Hell, when Aunt May is in the hospital? She even remarks that Peter isn't Superman. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8eoZcSXr9PQXYU.html It's very clear that Raimi took a lot of inspiration from Superman 78 and I feel it's for that reason that the movie turned out as good as it was for a modern day origin story. And I thought Toby McGuire was a good fit for Peter Parker. Tom Holland is a great fit though. collider.com/sam-raimi-spider-man-changed-superhero-movies/ "Spider-Man is both a guidepost and an outlier. The state of the superhero genre today with its reliance on world-ending stakes, crossover universes, and pushing into new genres like R-rated comedy and westerns, are completely foreign to the goofy, four-color attitude present in Raimi’s film. And yet it sets the template for the superhero origin story, borrowing heavily from Richard Donner’s Superman, but also trying to straddle the line between “realistic” and corny comic books."-Collider "It’s clear that Raimi’s passion is being as unabashedly silly and corny as modern audiences will allow, and to his credit (and the credit of audiences), they went for it. Today, we see that superhero films try to be serious or realistic. They need to have weighty themes or challenge the notion of the hero’s journey. Spider-Man, unencumbered by all that baggage, is free to be a throwback to Donner’s Superman and even the 1960s Batman TV series, completely with all of Raimi’s flourishes."-Collider Even if you look at a movie like Wonder Woman? Wonder Woman had callbacks to other comic book films that came before. Diana holding the shield was a bit of a callback to Cap in the First Avenger film. When she climbs the tower to get her Sword and lasso? That scene was a callback to Raimi's Spider-Man. And in the alley she deflects a bullet from Steve Trevor which itself was another callback to Superman 78.

I’m not sure if you’re gonna do these, but the Nicholas Hammond movies are worth adding to this

If someone could make a video of all the science with kev segments, wigging out with scrapino segments, rank those abs segments, and rad guys taking bad guys segments, then that would be amazing.

Didn’t know what montage nick was talking about until greg put on the mask and acted it out

Can we just appreciate Nick’s fit today.

Everyone needs to stop getting all bent out shape with the "Did your husband make it for you?" line.

"Horses don't wear clothes." SCIENCE! SCIENCE! SCIENCE WITH KEV!

This movie was amazing!

That's just Greg with a mask. (Greg takes off shirt) SHIRTLESS SPIDERMAN!? WHEN DID YOU GET HERE!?!?

Damn, Greg looks pretty good with that mask and shirt together. If only the reds matched a little better.

Underrated

That Homecoming intro gave me chills

I miss this setup. Good times... a time where we don’t have a Venom sequel lol

“... And they say that a hero could save us, I'm not gonna stand here and wait...” The best part was the Nickelback music video at the end. I know not a popular opinion, but I was 5 year old when this came out. If loving Nickelback because of this movie is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

I didn't realize just how bad I needed a Friendly neighborhood Shirtless Spider-Man... .. Until I got mugged by a Pantless Vulture.

GREG WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR SHIRT

We still don’t know if shirtless Spiderman is or is not Greg Miller

William Dafoe def said "uh-oh" before getting impaled lol

Nick complaining that they didn't make this film to be part of a bigger universe makes me wonder if he forgot what comic book properties were like in the late 90s and early 2000s.

I haven't finished the episode. However, something I think you guys are overlooking is that the movie came in a very different time. Spider-Man came out 8 months after 9/11. I think a lot of moments, like the dialogue after the burning building to the fireman mean more in that context. It can be corny now. But I think they were to illustrate the culture and unbreakable spirit of NYC.

Joe Manganiello looked older, but he was actually kind of young. Wasn't he like 24 years old when he filmed Spiderman?

I’m fucking crying @ Nick & Andy about the montage scene 😂😂

As a NYC resident and looking it up. Green Goblin fights Spidey on the Queensboro Bridge.

Can you end all the episodes with the singing of Hero - that would be awesome

They keep saying Aunt May is the sister, Ben Parker was the relative of Richard Parker...

This was the best review yet. Laughing till I cried right along with Nick and Andy.

I don’t mind people critiquing normally praised movies. But it can get really grating when it’s done by certain people who know little about filmmaking and writing in general. It’s almost always “I thought it sucked, it was cheesy, the writing was bad, it didn’t age well, I hated it”. I think a knowledgeable film buff would add a lot to this group. Yes certain areas of this Spider-Man trilogy are way over the top. But if you know Sam Raimi you understand his style. He enjoys hamming it up. He wanted to make a movie that’s part superhero origin, part horror movie and all fun. Some of the guys on the panel understood this. But it’s foolish to compare this film to the Marvel movies of today. Edit* - Not liking a movie doesn’t make you un-knowledgeable about film. But through the different “In review” series’ it’s obvious most of the panel are just everyday guys who like an occasional movie every now and then. Which is totally fine! What gets to me is they often bring up specific gripes and complaints that can be easily answered or debated and I just want so badly to jump in to the conversation.

The spider they painted did not die. They put a plate on its chest and back and painted that to not harm the spider.

I love Nick and Andy losing it over Nicks Tobey Maguire impersonation.

Nice use of the Homecoming marvel scroll music, should be called the Spidermen, and why isn’t Nick on Ragu Bagu? He sings the song with Andy, Nick and Kevin are copresidents, with Kevin’s induction Nick is undeniably the next Ragu

"This scientific woman who I swear is in everything, this woman I've seen fuckin Charlie Chaplin's movies with her." Man I lost it there, laughed for a solid minute because of that. 😂

Nick "Why the fuck are they 70 years old?" 😂😂😂

When was peter ever shy in the comics? Can someone please give me some issues cause I've read a shit-ton and he's never been shy? He was brash, sarcastic, and resentful in the early comics and later lost some of the edge and became more goofy and care-free. He was nerdy, and he was bullied, but he was never shy.

So excited!

It's annoying the way they judge these movies. It's more towards action and CGI rather than themes and story. Disappointed with these throwback reviews

Please do the Lord of the ring saga. Starting with LoTR, finishing with Hobbit. Even do the old cartoons. Please please please, would love to hear some RaGu BaGu on those videos lol

Next in line has to be the HP movies for the build up to fantastic beasts

I'm so (BONESAW) ready for this!

Andy " forget everything you know" Cortez

I thought these guys were crazy, but I'm in the middle of the movie right now and holy sh*t they're right. This is such a bummer

Hey big Kev dawg, why two pop sockets? I’m perturbed 🤔

I prefer the first two films over Homecoming. Is it nostalgia? For sure. But I love these films lol.

The Spider-Man No Way Home trailer just came out and oh my god I'm so excited!!!

I looked up Joe Manganiello. He's younger than Tobey Maguire. Blew my mind.
