SPIDER-MAN (2002) MOVIE REACTION - STILL GOOD 22 YEARS LATER? - REVIEW

Welcome to our Spider-Man (2002) Movie Reaction! This is our first time watching this film in a very very long time and we are beyond excited to share this experience with you guys. It's a film that holds a very special place in our hearts and one many of you have requested.
Spider-Man is a 2002 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. Directed by Sam Raimi from a screenplay by David Koepp, it is the first installment in Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. The film stars Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Cliff Robertson, and Rosemary Harris. The story follows timid teenager Peter Parker, who gains superhuman abilities after being bitten by a genetically engineered spider. He adopts the masked persona "Spider-Man" and begins to fight crime in New York City, facing the malevolent Green Goblin in the process.
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and review as we discuss the film's incredible special effects, suspenseful storyline, and unforgettable characters. From the quips and memorable lines like "You know, I'm something of a scientist myself" to the iconic fight scenes between the Green Goblin and Spiderman there's so much to talk about and we can't wait to share it with all of you!

I enjoyed them all, but Toby was the my fav Peter Parker. He could never catch a break & took the abuse quietly. The movies (with the exception to 3) caught what the comics always did to Peter.

@@Tech-geeky JJ can’t profit from making Spider-Man a hero because he does not want the credibility. Spider-Man does it simply because helping people is the right thing to do JJ cannot understand this, so from his perception of Spider-Man denying him his story, he decides to make Spider-Man his enemy by slandering his name in the media he doesn’t want to sell out for good then I will lie to make him seem evil is JJ’s thought process here

There's one thing Harry didn't hear when Norman was talking to Peter at the graduation: Norman is caring and supportive to Peter BECAUSE of Harry. Norman knows that Peter has always been there for Harry (one thing Norman himself cannot do because of his job), he takes Peter in the family because Harry sees him as a brother.

Yesss, savage is the perfect word!! It was actually hard to watch, seeing Peter get beaten so badly!

It's one of the rules within a heroes soul "Never anger a hero" because they show they're true power when they get angry especially when they're loved ones get threatened with death. Always brings shivers to the spine.

[@Eldaino999]

I remember Raimi made it a point to always have Peter get beat the hell up because audiences loved it; they loved when he was able to come back from it. What a total classic. Still the best interpretation of Spidey onscreen, and one that makes him a truly loveable uncool dork, which is what Peter always was. Also: Elfman’s theme is still top tier.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Elfman's score is just iconic and unforgettable!! It's so cool that Raimi focused on that, because it really is a great way to show that Peter is not only strong physically, but also has a will of steel!

[@phoenix00717]

The parallel of Peter becoming Spider-Man and Norman becoming green Goblin is top tier.👌 This movie has truly become a classical!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

The storytelling here both narratively and visually speaking is top notch! And both Tobey Maguire and Willem Dafoe killed it with their performances.

[@tjjordan4207]

Something I really like is that the hero and villain are being created simultaneously but separately. Not the hero accidentally creating the villain or the villain accidentally creating the hero. The only coincidence is that it is happening at the same time, which adds a very subtle layer for the audience to think about if it is fate intervening or it was all by chance.

Tobey Maguire is a raging alcoholic. Andrew Garfield was a way better Peter Parker but in lesser quality films than these.

[@strawberrylotlizard]

​@@oliviamorton2763I think Andrew was a better Spider-Man because he was really good with the quips and making jokes in combat. But Toby was definitely the best overall live action. Spider-Man and he also seems the most realistic

[@nugget3687]

They are all fantastic, I think saying any actor for any character is the "one true blank" is silly because the character existed way before they played them and will continue to exist way after.

[@heykrazy5436]

The dialogue is what sets this as the best spiderman trilogy. Because it's so realistic. Tom Holland is great but he gets help cause of the mcu. Toby made spiderman relatable for everyone.

17:45 I believe Sam Raimi once said something along the lines that while he was able to accept that Peter Parker is smart enough to make web shooters, he had a harder time accepting that this Peter Parker had the resources to make them, as he's a kid in high school with no job. I think May and Ben even have a small scene where they're talking about how things might be financially tough for a bit. I really like when Spider-Man makes his web fluid (don't really know why tbh) but I actually really appreciate the level of thought that they put into the world building with thought processes like that.

[@valeria262]

I believe Tobey has said in an interview that they didn't think it made sense for Peter to be smart enough to create these incredible pieces of tech yet be having everyday money problems

[@matthewmckenzie1404]

Yeah the biological web slingers kind of made it harder to believe (when I got older) because where would the body store it, and where does his body get the proteins to create webs? Hindsight: should've got peter too look up how to make web slingers on a classic 2000's beige color desktop computer, but computers were probably very new tech and barely thought of back then.

I’ll never ever forget when I first saw this. 2002, I was in Daycare, and the teachers would play it for us before naptime. This movie inspired my love of not only Superheroes, but film scores. Danny Elfman is why I love film scores! Not too long after, my mom got me my own tv and VHS player. And I would always rewind the opening titles just to listen to the theme!!! Thanks for the reaction, Ari and Denise. You made me feel like a kid again

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

I was born in 2000s, so I grew up with a Tobey Maguire Spider-Man-themed bedroom, watching these films religiously and playing the tie-in video games that expanded on their stories. For example, the Spider-Man (2002) game followed the events of the film featuring the Green Goblin but also included additional villains like Shocker, Vulture, and Scorpion to add more content to the game. You could also unlock the Alex Ross Spider-Man and Green Gobin designs that were never used in the film but he designed as idea's for the suits. Though his Spider-Man suit design for the film would later inspire Superior Spider-Man in the comics. Spider-Man 2 (2004) also had an amazing tie-in game that introduced some of the best web-swinging mechanics in gaming history, which have since served as inspiration for every Spider-Man game that followed including the amazing Marvel's Spider-Man PlayStation games. In previous games, the web-swinging felt more like flying, as the webs would just attach to the sky. However, Spider-Man 2 introduced actual physics to the swinging, with webs attaching to the nearest object, allowing you to swing and release whenever you wanted. If there was nothing to swing from, you'd simply fall until you found something to attach to, creating a much more dynamic and realistic experience.

[@maeviik8116]

One of my fav things about Spiderman is when they show how much cops and firefighters love him, despite what media claims. They know the truth, how much he helps them to save lives. Always warms my heart when they have moments to return the favor.

What Dr Osborn (Green Goblin ) was making when he was talking to the general is recreating Super Soldiers, aka the same power of Captain America, but he was not successful with it, not the same way he planned. That’s why you don’t see Green Goblin do the same or have the same power of Capt does and suffer the craziness

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

That’s kind of a big theme in marvel comics, you’d be surprised how many villains and heroes spawned due to someone trying to recreate the success Steve Rogers was. Loved that they included a bit of that here!

@@OfficialMediaKnights An origin story has to explain how a superhero became super. Superman/Supergirl are aliens. Shazam and Doctor Strange are magic. Thor and Wonderwoman are gods. Before genetic engineering it was often a serum, later it was mutations or genetic engineering. Radiation is another popular one. Villains often have similar origins. The difference is what you do with the special abilities once you have them.

The problem with The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 along with Homecoming and Far From Home is they just didn't had the heart like Sam Reimi's Spider-Man movies had. Don't get me wrong they are still good Spider-Man movies but it felt more like the CGI had the upper hand while Sam Reimi's Spider-Man movies had everything you wanted in a good movie balanced well together, story, character development, difficult choices, action and drama. Even with Spider-Man 3 when Sony intervened with Sam Reimi's directing, you could still feel it. No Way Home was just a nostalgia trip done very well and it is 1 of my favs however Spider-Man 2 was a superb sequel and still the best Spider-Man movie to this date!

Spider-Man's strength is usually slept on. Even his web swinging requires a lot of upper body strength to support his weight and momentum when swinging.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

There’s so much more to his swinging than what they show in the films! The fact that the dude is calculating speed and angles to avoid colliding is insane! He’s just casually doing it, goes to show how much of a genius he actually is.

[@theeLonelyRedPanda]

that's why in a particular show they gave him the spider cycle so he doesn't waste excess energy by swiging

A lot of durability too. The momentum of those swings would rip a normal person’s arms out of their shoulders.

What i started to realize growing up. Uncle ben and Anut may might not of been main characters and big screen time. They really killed their roles you feel it everything they say no matter how many times you watch this. I love you two its always great to watch your videos we appreciate you everyday thank you for being the best out there sooner or later youll take over youtube because of the passion emotions so grounded and open minded never change much love to you both ❤ #Bestcoupleonhere

This Green Goblin is so great that they borrowed him to be the main villain for No Way Home.

[@jennavalerius4051]

This is the first movie that my mother took me to see when it was in theaters after I was born. This is still my favorite Spider-Man. "With great power comes great responsibility"

God bless you two man. Last night I was watching ur WEDNESDY reaction and when you guys mentioned Spiderman. I was thinking how exciting it would be to watch Spiderman with you guys. Suddenly I get this notification. It's just amazing.❤

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Holy cow, no way that's actually crazy!! So glad that the timing worked out so perfectly haha, hope you enjoy our video!

Dafoe set the bar so high for playing comic book villains. He walked so others could try to run, then he ran past them.

[@reactivist6526]

The scene at 16:52 it is actually real, they tried it more than 100 times

[@jamesrein648]

And I still don't believe that scenes real I couldn't believe it then and I don't believe it now

[@valeria262]

​@jamesrein648 they just dropped things one at a time above the view of the camera, what's to believe. The sandwich was the most uncontrollable one apparently

I was a huge Spiderman fan as a kid. When this movie came out I was beside myself, and I was 20 years old. The casting in this is perfect we got THE Peter Parker, THE Norman Osborn, and THE J. Jonah Jameson. It's absolutely amazing and still gives me chills to this day.

[@mzondi1970]

4 years old? You're a baby I was 32 when I saw this in the theater LOL

[@fredskull1618]

Yeah, I was 20 when I saw the movie in the theater and my heart sank when I heard him say that he was four 😂

I was 7.

This film is the first successful live action depiction of Spider-Man. Hollywood tried a live action show in the ‘70’s but the practical effects weren’t enough to truly bring this iconic hero to life. Patience paid off. All the elements that were needed, finally became available to do it right. The success of these elements bringing a comic book hero to life paved the way for more heroes to finally live. Always fun watching your videos. ✌️😉💕

[@Chasejones2004]

I really hope we get to see a Tobey Maguire and Hugh Jackman team up in Secret Wars, that would be dope, because there has been speculation or rumors that Edward Norton Hulk will encounter Hugh Jackman Wolverine in Secret Wars. 😎 Actually Ari and Denise if you go back and watch Deadpool and Wolverine the scene where Deadpool is lying on the floor in the void if you look to the left there’s a secret wars comic book and the green soda bottle from the Incredible Hulk movie

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

All the possibilities are definitely exciting! Hugh and Tobey interaction in the MCU is a must!

[@adrianoendomol-torady]

how nice to see this film again and with your comments in which you can feel the love you had as children, I saw it as an adult and I love it even more, greetings from Italy 😊

[@stevopr1]

The final act is very dark... I miss dark Spiderman scenes.🔥

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Love it when we get some of those darker themes with Spider-Man! It highlights his character and strength even more.

[@ramon.rnt1992]

Excuse me!!! This was literally my childhood!! I grew up with comics as well, and Spiderman has been my favorite marvel super hero since i was a kid. Cant wait to see this!!!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Literallyyyy, our childhood in one movie!! Spider Man was Ari's favorite too, so definitely can relate there! We hope you have fun with our video!

17:44 I think I remember hearing years ago that the reason Peter has organic web shooters in this version is because Sam Raimi didn't think that a high-schooler would have the brains or access to the tech necessary to create mechanical ones.

ya know i guess one person can make a difference 🤗

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

They definitely can!

[@SMacca3103]

So glad you guys watched this! This is the reason I'm such a Marvel geek! Please please please do the rest of the trilogies too! (Well Garfields 3rd was no way home technically) I love your analysis and breakdowns! I love coming home after a long day and getting to watch you guy's experience the movies i love! Please keep doing what you do Ari & Denise, you're.... Amazing 😜

[@Reefism]

I recommend Sam Raimi's 1990 film Darkman. It was my introduction to Liam Nesson!

[@vinnylewis9245]

Darkman is great, it's hilarious in the typical Raimi way

[@gamestop15]

I still have the trilogy DVDs even to this day, love rewatching these tho

[@gamestop15]

Also J.k. Simmons is amazing in this especially when he voicing in those shows as well

[@Gojeto346]

The direct mirroring of Norman telling Peter “thank God for you” while being deceived, then having to hear it from Harry, the man he’s now having to deceive. So great.

[@Madman13K]

This struck me as a somewhat dark, serious movie when I first saw it, compared to other depictions, and while the cheese is more noticeable these days I feel like this still holds true. Apart from the increasingly brutal fight scenes and Norman being a sympathetic character as well as the villain, what strikes me now is that unlike newer films, including Batman begins, it doesn't end with the hero entirely comfortable with the place they've found; it goes out of its way to hang the consequences of everyone's actions over the ending, and leaves all the uncertainty in full view; Peter outright views his powers as as much a curse as a gift. It's a really unusual move for a comic book adaptation that I don't think has really been repeated since

[@zazoreal5536]

Oh no....Spider man is far stronger than Goblin. He just pulls his punches. Once upon a time he stopped pulling them and, the enemies started going away.

[@rikdegreef6132]

This movie is so iconic! As always great reaction and I hope we'll be seeing the 2nd Spiderman soon. Love from Belgium!

[@IsadellaEstelPolanco]

This movie was my first superhero movie in theaters. I saw it during my first year of high school when I was really going through a hard time so seeing a superhero movie like this was what I needed at the time. Every time I see that ending while he is saying this is my blessing, my curse, and then ends with I'm Spiderman, and then he is flying through the city, it always gets me teary. I feel the same emotions as when I first saw it. Still love this movie so much. The 2nd one is my favorite though. But the Green Goblin was perfectly casted and Tobey as Peter, perfect.

[@ameliafoley9569]

This movie changed my life haha I saw it three times in theaters, was OBSESSED with Toby for years and terrified of Willem Defoe 😂😅

My 9yo son has been playing a lot of Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation. I showed him that movie just last week because in my opinion that’s the movie that feels the most like the game. The swinging, the fights, it’s my favorite Spider-Man movie series.

[@heathTK]

This is my favorite Spider-Man movie, and my 2nd favorite movie period. I love how well it holds up
