He set the bar so high with 2 that it whooped every subsequent Spidey movie's ass too. It's really hard to believe that it could possibly be topped at this point with the MCU version being a pale comparison in every measure as a character.

I'm pretty sure those are just some branching multiverse's Doc Ock, it's just played by Alfred Molina (hence why different cloack and hairstyle). The same with potential Dafoe's Green Goblin, Electro, and Tobey's and Garfield's Spidey. Sony and MCU probably reached the deal that MCU can use those characters, just not the exact characters as their film counterpart (sorry, if that explanations a bit confusing, but you get the point right?)

[@TheRobloxianTacoLord]

Spider-Man 1: Responsibility. - Take responsibility for your mistakes. Spider-Man 2: Choice. - Choose to do what is right, even if it means sacrificing something for the sake of your destiny. Spider-Man 3: Forgiveness. - Forgive people for their mistakes. Revenge is never the answer. This is Peter's arc through all 3 films and it is so beautiful. All 3 movies have crucial moral lessons that were imprinted on children and adults worldwide, moving them to their cores, leaving them with some sort of lesson to implant into their own lives. Raimi didn't just make these movies for the sake of making them, like Jon Watts, he made them vessels to a greater lesson, a greater meaning, an immortal existence. These movies embody the classic Judeo-Christian values we are taught as children. That is where this trilogy excels and manages to stand out so brightly against the rest, the new movies are sterile they have no gravitas, emotion, weight, maturity, and lesson. Whenever I think of these movies, I am moved. I tear up and think of the messages they send, the characters in the film that embody us, the humans that are impacted, the journey, and the conclusion of these stories, and the future that lies ahead for them. A big part of this is Danny Elfman and Christopher Young's music, it is so fucking beautiful and it is enhanced by Raimi's direction. If a movie can make you cry nearly two decades later, that's not nostalgia, that's called a good movie.

I don’t have a high opinion on most of the MCU. I like a few of the movies but most I just don’t care about... I loved his video on Guardians of the Galaxy. And I loved that movie (and its sequel). I sometimes wish he’d do more analyses of the MCU movies to reveal something I’m missing/not understanding, but sometimes I wonder if there’s just not much to work with for the kinds of videos he wants to make. Which I’m ultimately fine with, but it does leave questions unanswered for me.

What's your interpretation ? I always felt it was meant to be a glimpse at the "MJ anxiously waits for Peter to hopefully come back alive" that becomes her routine in the comics later on.

Then again, there's probably lots he was planning for in the sequel that he ended up not being able to do, sadly.

One of the best details I love that’s always overlooked is when Harry finds out that Spider-Man is Peter, he accuses peter of murdering his father. Rather than explain that his father was the green goblin and that he tried to kill peter and killed himself by accident, he chose to respect Norman’s wishes and kept those details to himself, at the cost of ruining his relationship with Harry. That level of development and maturity just goes to show how Peter as a character has evolved into one of the best in cinematic history.

There was a point in life where I was in my worst shape. Epileptic (since 10), had a severe case of anxiety, girl troubles, struggling in college, couldn't get a job, worried too much about not being able to help people as often as I used to (volunteering is a passion of mine), barely see my friends who are all so busy or moving away, and 20 years old losing track of myself and what I wanted in life. One day I sat down and watched this movie after so many years. I was shocked at how relatable this movie is, how entertaining, and how much simplicity it holds to bring out character (only other favorite film with that much is Rocky 2). My stress was mostly gone, I had motivation, I hugged my family, and took time to relax to establish myself so I can be something. As of currently I have a job, epilepsy is stable, see some of my friends often, most of my stress is gone, I volunteer at a hospital every Friday, and I'm looking forward to going to college to improve on my good finish (I'm living my life for me and helping people, but if romance comes along the way I'd gladly embrace it). I'm beyond happy Spider-Man 2 is a role for helping me with all of this so I can gain a sense of self-awareness and peace. If you haven't seen this movie yet, please pick it up (same with Rocky and Rocky 2).

[@niamhmorrissey2187]

I feel like one of the main reasons Raimi Spiderman is so great is because he perfectly captures the sense of responsibility that defines Peter as a character. Far From Home kind of tries to do something similar to Spiderman 2 with Peter wanting to be a normal person but his hero life calls to him. But the difference is that Raimi Spiderman always made a choice, like when he chose to help that kid out of the burning building, or when he chose to reject MJ at the coffee shop. But MCU Spiderman feels nudged into it, if he had his way then he would've just let Fury & Mysterio fight off the elementals while he chills out with MJ, he literally had to get forced into acting like a hero. Peter feels like a regular dude at the end of the day in the Raimi movies (except for Spiderman 3, his normal life is pretty wild in that movie). Sure he had spider powers & fought criminals, but through all that he was just a guy working a crappy job to pay the rent for his shitty apartment & barely making his way through college. TASM Peter kind of had that with his dynamic with Aunt May, but most of the time he just felt too cool, even as Peter. MCU Peter feels the least regular out of all of them, I know he's in the MCU and all that but that doesn't mean the entire Marvel Universe needs to revolve around him, the only sense of normalcy about him is that he's a high schooler who likes a girl...that's pretty much it. I prefer a Spiderman who has to sow his suit back together after a hard night while hiding from Aunt May, knowing that he had to miss out on school work or socialising. Over a Spiderman who borrows a billionaire's lab to design his own custom made suit with holograms while his Aunt cheers him on, his friends don't care how many times he ditches them, and his school just ignore his antics.

Loved this movie so much i am so grateful to be a 2000s kid what an amazing childhood.

NO matter how many times i watch the trilogy i get goosebumps EVERYTIME when the music plays and spider man swings. I tear up whenever Peter gets the short end of the stick and it always warms my heart whenever there are scenes of aunt may being the best aunt may ever. This is THE SPIDER MAN. No one can top this. Especially in a day and age when a movie is made just to set up another movie and a movie is made to satisfy the folks who liked the trailer. Unless a director is given true creative freedom to tell his own interpretation of spider man without any studio meddling etc. we can never get a spider man who can beat Raimi spidey.

Take off your nostalgia glasses. Tom Hollands Spider-man has already beaten it even Stan Lee said so.

[@davidegigante]

@@scoposteve8470 Tom Hollands spiderman is good but is more for kids, i think spiderman 1-2-3 is more serious and this give to the film realism. Now spiderman suit could have every gadget, the old one is more natural. both are good but i prefer the old spiderman.

What the studio did to Raimi's SM3 and 4 is one of the worst crimes in Hollywood

[@nyxxi-_-198]

Just take out the venom parts and sm3 is great its about flint Marko which wants to be understood and gets forgiven by Peter. It's great just great venom was eghm trash, fuck avi

After seeing Spider-man 2 again this week.....I feel like we have been tricked into thinking the MCU is great. Its fun.....but its nowhere close to this movie!

[@scoposteve8470]

You are wrong. It's something called nostalgia. If you take off your nostalgia glasses the cracks of the movie start to show. They were amazing for there time but Tom Hollands Spider-man is just the perfect version.

[@101yashu]

@@scoposteve8470 stop encouraging and celebrating mediocrity ,it not nostalgia but actual good filmmaking that has kept these movies alive and relevant all these years, MCU mass produced crap can never compete in terms of cinematic value with it. So watch these movies objectively if you can or just keep fanboying over a massively average movie!!

@@scoposteve8470 You literally stated no fucking reason why would SP2 be a bad movie. You can remove fight scenes from Remi's first and second movie, and actually watch a proper family with good story and plot. Try to remember non-fight scenes recent reboots … Wait … I can't really remember anything outside 21-24 years old kid acting like a incompetent ultra virgin simp, frantically running around school halls, class tours and visits on holidays, sleepovers over fat and useless sidekick that has no point in plot, boring dialogues where main char is being told to what to do by Iron man and bootleg Jarvis... Just remaster SP3 with today's technology and that's it. It's actually a better Spiderman movie of last 10 years.

[@subiagainsttheworld]

I think this hits harder when you turn 20 because we are really in the same position as Peter, I teared up watching this, you perfectly explain why this is really the best super hero film to be made but is also the definition of cinematography
