This captured the essence of Spider-Man on every level for me. For Spider-Man to win, Peter has to lose. This film got even better with age over the years.

I love when horror directors make superhero movies

This Aunt May is way more accurate to the source material. Because Aunt May is suppose to be an elderly woman struggling with life after Uncle Ben's death and also taking care and supporting Peter. She struggles but is willing to sacrifice many things to make sure Peter can live well. Marisa Tomie's version was such a drastic departure that people who have read the source material and many other versions say that she really doesn't play Aunt May. Because she is basically just there to be the hot aunt with comedy with very little depth to the character. Another great version of Aunt May is Spider Man PS4/5 Aunt May.

This is the REAL Aunt May. She’s older in the comics too, with a personality just like this.

This won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects.

I'm really surprised you guys slightly preferred the first one. The second one is the majority of people's favorite out of the three. But either way great reaction! I think this movie just has so much heart, its so beautiful

It’s a testament to Marisa Tomei’s beauty that you guys thought she was in her thirties in ‘Civil War’ when she was actually just past fifty years old. A timeless actress, most definitely.

The genuine, raw reality of being a young adult with aging parents/grandparents is so prevalent in Sam Raimi's adaptation that it grounds Spiderman in a world that's believable. That feeling, of knowing how the superhero feels, is something that Marvel is missing in their movies of today. Seeing the disappointment in Aunt May's face over not being able to refinance her home and then over not getting the toaster -it's so simple, but it sets the tone for how bleak her future looks. As my parents age I find I relate more and more to these movies, and I feel the failure and responsibility that comes with not always being able to care for my elders as much as I want to. It's a feeling that's so rarely depicted in movies that to see it in something like Spiderman is truly special and it's not really appreciated as much as it should be.

If you wanted to know about why his powers weren't working, it's because it's connected to his emotions, so basically all the stress he was going through is what's causing it

Willem Dafoe and Alfred Molina are tied for the top slot when it comes to movie interpretations of comic book villains. Their portrayals of Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus, respectively are well done and written.

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man is still the best of the Spider-Verse period.

These movies are why Spider-Man will always be my favorite superhero. I loved them when they came out, and I still love them just as much. Even the third one, which is kind of a big mess, is still pretty fun imo. Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland never quite measured up these original movies for me, although the new Spider-Verse movies are honestly amazing.

The power of hype reactions is in the palms of our hands. Alfred Molina was a great casting choice for Doctor Octopus, and this film further showed that J.K. Simmons was born for the role of J. Jonah Jameson.

watching this one 19 years later and it still lives in my top 10 list.

The Sam Raimi movies are the most accurate to the original comics. And SM2 is by far the best movie of all the Spidey films. It just nails everything about why the fans fell in love with the character. Spider-Man is just a young dude who cant pay his rent, and make it to class on time. Struggling relationships and trying to save the city at the same time. The saying is that when Spider-Man wins, Peter fails. And when Peter wins, Spider-Man fails. I dont think its ever been shown better than SM2. Andrews portrayal is pretty good. And Toms is fine. Hes just more of the "Disney" version of Spidey to me.

I don’t wanna spoil anything so just gonna say. You need to watch all of the previous Spider-Man movies with Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield. It is kinda a must for the best experience going forward

Congratulations! You have watched one of the absolutely best superhero movies EVER!! I love everything about this gem. Also, regarding your question about Aunt May, her portrayal in these three movies is SPOT ON with the Aunt May from the comics. Her look, her age, her mannerisms, are all straight from the comic books. Rosemary Harris was a perfect choice for Aunt May.

J.K Simmons, his performance as JJJ just makes m eyes water with laughter.

This is still my favorite spiderman movie ever. It's just so good. The action scenes are still unmatched by the new movies. An excellent bad guy too. This version is much closer to the original comic book as well, minus the comedy stuff of course.

"Old" Aunt May is definitely more comic book accurate. She's been in her late 60's since the 60's.

Something that’s really cool, is all those recap shots at the beginning are individually painted by the artist Alex Ross

That Hospital Scene will forever and always be absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Spider-Man 2 is legendary.

Peter doesnt tell Harry about his father being the Green Goblin when his identity is revealed on purpose. Goblin's last wish was that Peter never told Harry about his evil side. Just another dilemna for Peter on top of the rest.

When it comes to Aunt May and Uncle Ben, I see this version as Great Aunts and Uncles, even though that's not what they are in this. According to Google, Ben is the older brother of Peter's dad. May Parker is an aunt through marriage and is often seen as elderly. By the way, Aunt May in the MCU is played by Marisa Tomei. She was 52 in 2016 when she was in "Captain America: Civil War." Yes, I said 52. She's now 58.

Glad you finally watched this!!!!❤😊 The drama, the arc, storyline, relatability, action sequences...this movie is STILL arguably the best superhero movie ever. And yes i just saw Across the Spiderverse

In modern day reality, everyone on that train would've had their phones out recording and posting Peter Parker's face all over social media.

It wasn't the water,it was the overexposure of electricity when the blade pierced through the tubes. Plus, maybe the water as well, so partially right. (Nerd explanation over)

Old aunt may is far more comic accurate, hot aunt may from the tom holland movies was an... interesting choice

Next Spider-Man 3, and u guys can go with The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2

I really like this movie to me, it’s the best movie out of the three movies and I really like both of your reaction ❤

‘There’s a hero in all of us’ and the whole preceding convo is the clue in that she knows Peter is Spider-Man

Aunt May in Civil War is played by Marisa Tomei, who was around 52 at the time (she just looks really really good).

Old Aunt May is more accurate for from the comic's. Alot of stories told with Peter having to bring May medicine or really sick and he's has to get it to her in time while he's fighting a villain.

Spider-Man has always been my favorite superhero since I was a kid. He just seems to be the most relatable superhero

This might be (and is considered by many) one of the greatest (if not the greatest) superhero movies of all time. It is brilliant!

The serum goblin used is an attempt to make the super soldier serum like Captain America.

Love and peace you two.

Shoutout to Spiderverse, but this is still my favorite Spiderman movie

Peter is literally having the Spider-Man version of erectile dysfunction 😂

Spider-Man is actually one of the strongest heroes in terms of physical strength. He pulls his punches when fighting so he doesn't cave someone's skull in bc he's so incredibly strong. He stopped a moving train going full tilt in this one and remember in Civil War he caught the Winter Soldier's punch and twisted his metal arm with ease

The older version from this movie and the other Rami films is the more accurate one. The version from the Webb Films and MCU are also accurate to an extent

There are very few moments in any of the MCU films that capture what these Spiderman movies did with Danny Elfmans score and Raimis direction.

Aunt may 100% knows spider-man is Peter you see the exact moment she does at 13:38 it ties into the speech she gave Peter when she was moving. Loved these films growing up and still do they are a generational masterpiece🤌🏼

Now Spider-Man 3 😁

The beauty of the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies are that they are so relatable. Its not just a comic book movie, its about characters having real-life problems which normal people like us can relate to.

I love watching through the Marvel films with you guys❤️

Spider-Man 2 is still the best one ever made

Hope you two are having an great and awesome ❤

“Punch me and I’d bleed” was Peter’s way of saying he’s present, in the moment, and no longer just a “empty seat” that MJ could touch him as he’s no longer just an invisible friend with no tangibility. As for the Aunt May’s the Raimi Aunt May has Aunt May’s wisdom, motherly and nurturing side as well as how much she’s worrying about Peter. The Amazing Spider-Man Aunt May is a good portrayal of a more 2000s modern aunt, she’ll put her foot down when lines are crossed but she loves Pete dearly all the same and worries for him. The MCU Aunt May isn’t really all that much of a Aunt May except in name only, she’s not bad but doesn’t capture any of her specific characteristics as they rather hype up her beauty than her abilities as a guardian to Peter ‘till about the 3rd movie.

I really enjoyed watching Spider-Man 2 with you guys😁🔥. It brought back childhood memories🔥. This a real super hero movie and why people like this movie is because it’s made on such a small scale with a relatable theme👍. I loved Aunt May’s speech to Peter and I feel that not just Spider man but every person’s life is built on that speech. I loved the train fight scene between Spider-Man and Dock Ock which so well done and one of the best fight scenes in any super hero movie👏👏. Sam Raimi did a fantastic job with the story, casting and especially casting if the antagonist as Alfred Molina was brilliant as Otto Octavius. Take care and have a good one❤️🔥

35:57 its one of the best things in spider man games. Playstation spider man game made swinging so good, you can just travel the city for hours.

One of The Best superhero movies Ever straight Up. It's so iconic and important This production, Tobey always gonna be The Best spider Man no matter what, shout out to him The OG

One of The Greatest superhero movies of all time. So Epic Everything about This is so Sick. Tobey and Doc Oc are The OG Arguably the Best comic book movie of a superhero,along With infinity War of course

Just wanna say thank you For reacting on this masterpiece

You said, "...that's the best way to travel..." 🤣🤣🤣

I love seeing you guys reactions crazy cause I just watched this movie yesterday and coincidentally not knowing yall was gonna watch this

Being 23, the tobey macguire rami movies were my childhood. I prefered spiderman 2 and 3. Some hated the third one; but everyone has their own opinions. You'll I'd say moderately like the third movie. Has more of a horror theme to it.

the older aunt may is the more accurate representation. And will forever be the goat

Afaik, Aunt May in this one is closer to the comics original, which was more realistic for the time when the comics were first made. Aunt May in the newer ones is pretty different from that, and was part of their efforts to update Spidey's circumstances to reflect the modern day.

I enjoy...you two.. enjoying movies. Love the Marvel reactions.

The end in the final swing It always gives me goosebumps. The Best comic book movie Ever from The Best spider Man as well. This movie means alot to the fans. Arguably the Best superhero movie of all time,along With Dark Knight And infinity War.

Literally the greatest superhero movie ever made

I don't know if you guys noticed but its been hinted that Robbie figured out that Peter is Spider-Man. Like when he looks at Peter after saying 'I heard Spider-Man was there" at the Doc Ock demonstration, and especially how he grabs Spider-Man's mask while Jameson is mocking Peter for giving up the suit. And to answer your question on Aunt May, Rosemary's is more comic accurate, her and Uncle Ben were always much older in the comics.

My absolute favourite CBM and yeah those tentacle arms are crazy. For 90% of the film they were actual physical puppets that the actors could work with that took about 4 people per arm to move and control. In the movies they're capable of lifting about 3 tons each and can extend to around 3 times their length

Amazing reaction

Is he protecting her? Yeah, but that's not his call. Or any superhero's. They can't tell someone who loves them what risks are worth it. ♥

Yay love this movie.

Even though I watched this movie like 1 million times, I’ve just noticed that father lantom from the daredevil series is in this movie, he’s behind Peter in 10:12

When Spider-Man stopped the train, it’s just one of the best scene in all superheroes movies!

Yes, the exterior college scenes were shot on the Morningside Heights campus of Columbia University. The campus has appeared in a large number of notable films including, but not limited to, Ghostbusters (1 & 2), Altered States, Marathon Man, Malcolm X, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Part of what makes Spider-Man 2 so great are the stakes. This film brutally shows the burden of being Spider-Man, the sacrifice it takes to be an anonymous superhero. Something the MCU version took time to establish

Your reactions to Star Wars and Spider-Man made me a subscriber y’all are dope!

I really like your guys reactions 😂

I remember watching this in theaters and maryjane saying "go get em tiger" was the perfect cherry ontop of the perfect ending to the perfect spiderman movie.

2:52 - Black backpack hits Pete on the right side of his head, and the strap bounces off of his face - that's the director, Sam Raimi. I think it was intentionally planned to have the strap hit him in the face, because in the blooper reel, you can see it get caught on his ear a couple of times. He almost gets caught around the neck with it. I mean, it's a backpack, being held by the director, they're not going to risk actually hurting Tobey's neck. See how he's really trying to not tense up until right after it hits?

Marisa Tomei, who plays May in the MCU, is 58. She looks young but she still fits the age range of May.

The actor of Janet Van Dyne from Ant Man is in Spider-Man 2

Yes sir the goat uncle Joey!!

This movie is the greatest of all times

I used to close my eyes during the hospital scene when I was a kid.

This is the best superhero movie ever

I really appreciate your honesty in this video. Everyone says the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies are great but it’s just because they grew up watching them. Anyone watching them today can see them for the campy, dated films they are. I am forever grateful to them for paving the way for the modern superhero era… but I really can’t stand watching them anymore.

I still have the fun memories When my mom took me to go see this for my 6th birthday.

6:37 the kid played a young 50 Cent in Get Rich or Die Tryin'

Peter goes to the fictional Empire State University. In the comics, he and bully-turned-buddy Flash get academic and athletic scholarships, respectively. Edit: “Vindicated” by Dashboard Confessional still rocks. 🤙🏽 Edit to the Edit: I have thought about swinging around like Spider-Man at least once a day, every day, since I was a kid.

Yes the best Spider-Man movie

Yep, i think it's because of the estress and The emotions That he was having problems with his Powers

It's worth considering that Spiderman is always holding back. This movie series and even the others don't really show this. But Spidey is actually pretty close in strength to some other super strong heroes. It's just in his nature to not wail on people with intent to hurt or put down. He sees the good and tries his hardest to get through to villains.

Doc ock is top 3 Spider-Man villains easily. This movie made him one of the best live action cbm villains of all time.

I have seen every Spider-Man film since the 70s. That’s the Nicholas Hammond movies, Tobey, Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and of course, Tom Holland. I’ve enjoyed something about each and everyone of them but when I asked, which one is number one? I always named this one! This one was near perfect!

Spider-man 2 is One of the Greatest Comic Movies Ever made. Arguably the Best Spider-man movie ever made. It set the standard for comic book films. Even after 20 years it is still a masterpiece. Alfred Melina ask Doc Oak one of the best cast Villians of All time. Train Scene is one of the best Action Sequences of any super hero film

One of the hardest things about being spiderman you can't always save everyone

Marissa Tomei is well in her 50's in the Tom Holland movies as the Aunt May. She is abnormally just hot for her age.

Tobey Maguire Spider-Man 1 2 and 3 are one of my favorite ones movies and the Ant Man is one of my favorites at met with one of my favorite when I was a kid even though I am in my twenties

Aunt May is so sweet..

They gave AVI ARAD a big thank you in the credits of NWH But do you know who else deserves a big thank you? LAURA ZISKIN It was because of her and her partner (the screenwriter Alvin Sargent) that the original trilogy and TASM1 had depth Arad on the other hand just wanted to use the movies to sell toys

MJ - "I'm seeing someone now!" Pete - "Huh? Oh! Therapy." That's the most savage shit Pete says or does to Mary Jane in this entire trilogy, and THAT'S saying something. You'll see. Next movie.

Spiderman is so strong he could possibly match the Hulk. Spiderman's strength is always evoloving and improving and gets stronger as is needed. He may be unparalled. It is only his youth that limits him, really.

My favorite reaction channel

LAURA ZISKIN was the only one capable to save this movie from AVI ARAD After she died in 2011, during the production of TASM1, there was nobody else to stop Arad from ruining everything May she rest in peace
