The sequel to this still holds up as one of the best comic book movies of all time.

Yes it does!

Spider-Man 2 is definitely still one of the best superhero movies. Too bad Spider-Man 3 is so awful.

@@KevyNova I think it's better than both TASM movies and Far from Home.

[@damienjohn]

The snap zooms and stylized shots are trademark Sam Raimi and not necessarily an early 2000's thing. You can see it all over his other work (Evil Dead, Darkman, Drag me to Hell). It works perfectly for the superhero genre & stylization to that degree is sorely lacking from modern comic book/MCU movies.

[@emessar]

Ya beat me to it. I think a lot of it was him trying to bring the comic book feel alive, which adds its own stylization. It was also following the Batman movies ... and that likely influenced how Rami approached it, or maybe influenced some of the notes from the studio execs.

[@Onaterdem]

It is also a 1990s/early 2000s thing too, that "overdramatic" feel, if you know what I mean. While Raimi has his own overdramatization style, that same feeling is present in a lot of movies/shows from that age, even in WandaVision's 90s/early 2000s episode.

[@MilkT0ast]

Becuase you can see raimis soul and passion all over these films, and its why these modern marvel movie feel so corporate and buy the numbers.

[@chrismhp]

The crash zooms are definitely Raimi's signature, but I'd say the scene transitions are very much of the times (though they are still pretty creative for what it's worth). I think the best example of Raimi's unique voice is in the final "...Oh." moment before Norman gets impaled. It's such a unique way of editing that moment which is unlike any other villain death I can think of.

[@damienjohn]

@@chrismhp I agree. The Doc Oc surgery scene in SM2 - now THAT is pure Raimi. Probably one of the best scenes in any superhero movie.

[@LordVolkov]

"Oh, he has to do a costume change first!" Love Raimi's homage to the Richard Donner Superman in that shot. "Great job everybody!" The people of NYC rallying behind Spidey is one of the best aspects of Raimi's movies. It really touches to the core of the character as the 'friendly neighborhood Spiderman', a true hero of the people. Every Spiderman incarnation focuses on a different aspect of Peter, and Raimi's is one of the darkest, balancing Pete's anger with his heroism. He is strong enough to beat his villains to death if he wanted to, but holds himself back even at the risk of his own life.

[@philsswweightlossdiary2944]

In context, it was also a very clear post-9/11 statement as well. As a Brit, it always felt a bit cringey but I understand why it was there.

I was 11 when my aunt took me to see this. It's crazy to know that this was the first Spider-man movie I've seen in theaters 20 years ago.

[@JS-ct3kr]

The fact that Willem Dafoe was not only able to slip effortlessly back into the role of Green Goblin in No Way Home but also far exceed his performance and level of menace is nothing short of incredible. He's up there with Ledger's Joker and Thanos as an all time great comic book movie villain for me.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

I loved Willem Dafoe’s role too and was soo happy when he returned in No Way Home, also I reckon his performance was actually better than Ledgers Joker

[@mityakiselev]

He might not have the best motivation or plan (in fact, little to no reasoning at all, he's just a psycho) but holy shit is he good at the role. He has such a wide range that you can effortlessly see him as a confused and scared mentally ill old guy and a menacing murderous supervillain. You may argue there were better written villains in terms of parallels with the protagonist and stuff, but he will always be _the_ Green Goblin.

[@thedoctor4327]

I honestly really like the relationship between Peter and Norman in the film. They genuinely respected one another (even if it was at Harry’s expense) until each of their identities are exposed to the other and until the Goblin persona won out Norman was distraught about the idea of hurting Peter. It’s a tragic example of never meeting your “heroes” from Peter’s point of view and a testament to how far gone Norman is in his insanity and lust for power that he’s willingly to kill one of the few people he forged a genuine connection with. It’s such an amazing hero-villain dynamic

[@ajs6380]

I am SOOO excited for you to see Spider-Man 2, as it is quite literally my favorite movie of all time. No spoilers, but the movie truly shows why Spider-Man is the most heroic hero ever. It’s themed around selflessness and sacrifice. And of course, it shows the huge amount of responsibility that Peter has to deal with better than any other Spider-Man movie

[@darnell7871]

America really needed this movie especially after the events of 9/11. A lot of scenes in this movie is suppose to be symbolic of americans coming together and facing adversities like the NY citizens helping fend off Goblin on the bridge. After 9/11, a lot of shows and movies were either redone, delayed, or even cancelled and this movie was affected too. They had to cut and redo lot of scenes that had the World Trade Center in the shots. In fact in the original movie poster, you can see the Twin Towers reflection in Spidermans mask

[@derekspencer9975]

14:20 Fun fact: in the Ultimate line of comics, the wrestling venue came back in an interesting way. It turned out that in a string of purchases, Kingpin bought out the amateur wrestling company. And the "Spider-Man" identity was a registered trademark under their name, for merchandise rights. So, unable to get Spider-Man back _conventionally,_ decided to capitalize on a recent upswing of popularity Peter was enjoying by merchandising the hell out of him.

[@Pyro7k]

As a HUGE Spider-Man fan, this movie holds a special place in my heart. Growing up, I read plenty of different comics, but Spidey was my favorite, hands down. So, in 2002, as a nerdy high school kid, when I heard they were making this movie, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. I saw it on opening night and then proceeded to go see it in theaters NINE MORE TIMES. Yeah, it is much cheesier compared to the MCU films, but as a first iteration of Spidey on the big screen, it is nearly perfect in my eyes. Glad to spend some time reliving that joy watching it along with you, Natalie.

A classic JK Simmons is the absolute best J. Jonah ever. The casting in this movie is phenomenal As a kid Osborn’s arc never made much sense to me, it was just oh he’s crazy, ok. But watching this as an adult that board meeting scene hurts. The corporate world fucked over Osborn so his vengeance is justified to me I love Dafoe’s speeches in this movie! I’ve memorized every single one, they’re that good The New Yorkers on the bridge throwing stuff was added as a sort of unification for New York after 9/11. Great scene A small detail not many notice is after they kiss, MJ touches her lips, has a realization of sorts and then turns to Peter hinting that she felt that it was similar to Spider-Man’s so she’s starting to wonder if they’re the same person Can’t wait to see Nat’s reactions to the rest of the trilogy

Despite being a basic plot, it's also written very well. It was the first time anybody had ever seen Spider-Man in live action swinging amongst skyscrapers, but more importantly, people connected to it on an emotional level.

"Why you dating him if you dont like him like that?" She is trying to be an actress. She is hoping that being associated with the Osborn name will bring her some attention. Harry's dad called her out on it during the Thanksgiving dinner. I always thought he was a jerk for that but as I get older i came to admit he was actually giving Harry pretty decent advice.

[@anycullen21]

She always goes for the rich guys, even in high school. Yet somehow she's considered a heroine. At least the new MJ has the brains to actually get into MIT, instead sleeping around for a better career. Watching the original trilogy as a kid, didn't think abt that, but now as an adult, Peter deserves better than girls like her.

Re catching the food: that was done live, without CGI. Some film tricks involved, but took a bunch of takes!

This Aunt May is based on the more traditional version that was drawn by Steve Ditko. The MCU modernised the character because a 15/16 year old Teenager wouldn’t have an Aunt who is in their 70s

To be fair, Marisa Tomei made much more sense age wise, considering that Peter is in highschool. I mean aunt May and uncle Ben look like they are in their seventies here, which would mean, that they would be about 20 years older than Peters parents.

Just FYI, Nat - the board doesn't decide to sell a company, the shareholders do. The board is restricted to recommending a sale, or not. Sometimes the board will be unanimous, sometimes not, but there will be a vote and the chairman would have a deciding vote. The chairman is not always the CEO. If Osborn started the business he would probably have tried to maintain a position as not only the majority shareholder but possibly even a 75% shareholder so he can always outvote all the other shareholders, but he still only gets one vote as a director. He could be voted out as CEO by the board but then as majority shareholder he can sack the board and have himself reappointed by the new board. The movie trope (it happens in _Dark Knight Rises_ too) in which the CEO and founder of the company is just ousted by the board results from poor understanding of company law on the part of screenwriters - or maybe they just don't care.

The action choreography I think is something that holds up quite well from this and the 2nd with him. The stakes seem very real, Peter gets very hurt and you really get worried for him more because the hits look so solid and even brutal sometimes.

[@SpartanShepard]

This reaction was such a treat! Can't wait for you to react to the rest of the films! I saw chat being negative on the Andrew Garfield films.... I think his first movie is quite good. His Peter may seem different when you watch him (personally I love his Peter, I'll elaborate whenever the reaction comes out) but his Spider-Man is *chef's kiss*. His second film, in my opinion is very entertaining, but the plot is very messy and all over the place. But I don't think it's at all bad. It's a bit of a rollercoaster, it has some really high highs, but some low lows. Looking forward to the reactions Nat!

The story of how willam got the role of the green goblin is pretty cool he wasn’t interested in the role until he heard that Toby was casted as spider man he got the role and beat out a long line of actors for the green goblin role in one test reading and insisted on portraying the green goblin in suit as much as possible and even “created” his own fighting style for the goblin :)

[@donaldmoxham2659]

To understand and fully appreciate No Way Home, you will need to see this movie's two sequels, as well as the two Andrew Garfield films and the two Venom films. This movie was the one that got me into Marvel, so it holds a special place in my heart. Maguire will always be my Spider-Man, even though I love both Garfield and Holland. Aunt May is usually depicted as that old, she and Uncle Ben were always kind of depicted as akin to grandparents who took Peter in. Peter catching all of the food on MJ's lunch tray was done completely practically, without any CGI effects. Tobey Maguire had his hand tapped to the tray but that was it. It took about a hundred takes to get just right.

Fun fact, that scene with MJ falling and Peter catching her in the cafeteria is real. They had to do a lot of takes before Tobey managed to catch all the food. Took 156 takes and 16 hours Second fun fact: For a time, this movie was the 6th highest grossing movie of all time. This trilogy and Nolan's Batman can be credited with the resurgence of popularity of comic book movies.
