I don't get how Critic would think Jj would give Peter up like that. Like Jj can be a jerk but I doubt he would put his employees in danger especially in the hands of a psychopath. Jerk doesn't always equal emotionless asshole

While Jameson is often a jerk, he also is consistently shown to possess a basic sense of integrity and morality. He would never willingly endanger another person's life, especially one of his own employees. Jameson has never been portrayed as someone who would do something like that -- not in the source material, and not in any adaptations.

That's actually one of the most faithful character adaptations from the comic books. Jameson has adamant journalist's integrity. He once fired Peter, someone who's worked for him for years and has always delivered only the best Spider-Man pics for the paper because he spliced some pics. Jameson looked at Peter as if Pete was dead to him. The guy hates Spider-Man's guts but he's a spectacular journalist

[@victorconway444]

J.K. Simmons is easily the best part of this whole movie. Toby Maguire's awkwardness and Willem Defoe's pure insanity are close seconds, but Simmons is the true meme. The difference is we're laughing WITH him, not at him.

[@milosstojanovic4623]

I would not say it like that, i would say it like JK SImmons is the best part AS SIDE character in this movie, so he complements some cheese humor, and maybe some pacing issues(which honestly are not that of a problem).

@@jamesgatz4490 I mean, he didn't really care. Until Spidey told him no, that is. Then what happened? He found out who he is and used it against him.

I'm not sure that the Joker/Batman (perfect foils who obsess over one another) comparison really works for this movie. The dynamic between Goblin and Spider-Man isn't nearly that well-defined here, and the movie doesn't do enough to depict Goblin as being so insane that he doesn't care to learn an important detail about his enemy's identity. Sure, he's trying to make peace with Spider-Man during the rooftop scene, but later he's not at all surprised to learn that the answer is no. After learning Spider-Man's identity, he only hesitates to exploit it because it's Peter. It just doesn't seem like there's any reason in the movie that Goblin would have passed up an opportunity learn more about Spider-Man's weaknesses.

@@DJWingoYT no, not it all because it's a disjointed mess and it actually ruins the first two movies and its characters. It's just nostalgia to say it's a good movie at this point.

The Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies were surprisingly ahead of their time. Nowadays, pretty much every scene has been made into a meme. It’s like Raimi could predict the meme culture of the modern day 24:35 It’s called journalistic integrity. A smart journalist protects their sources. But is it really so unbelievable that Jameson would protect Parker out of the goodness of his heart?

[@icecreamhero2375]

He doesn't know he is Spiderman to him Peter is just a kid.

[@MisterXenomorph]

Ironically even though he obsesses over the idea that spidey is a menace, most of the comics portray him as being a fantastic journalist. He strictly believez in journalistic integrity and unbiased reporting. Plus his bsckstory sorta points as to why he hates spidermen. His dad was a soldier who was physically abusive to his mum, and it caused him to devolop an inherent distrust to "heroes" because he always suspects they when out of uniform they are violent assholes. Honestly, he really isnt that bad of a person i the comics

[@larsliljeberg3970]

@@MisterXenomorph It still hilerious that he basicaly blames every evil ever on Spider-Man,playing the Ps4 spider-man game is so much more fun because of that. "Some one stole your puppy?,well we saw SPIDER-MAN! with it,CLEARLY he has Stolen the Puppy so he can give it back and earn the rewards for "finding" it, What a Sick egomanic this guy is". is the kind of things Jamison says in that Game and its so accurate to the movie portrayal and the comics its funny xd.

@@larsliljeberg3970 His hatred for spidey has been overblown alot in recent media. Nowadays it borders on paranoia.

[@KajianTemp]

It's even in the novelization. Jameson knows that a good journalist always protects his source. And I love this small action because it adds a surprising layer of depth to the character.

"Looks like he's one of those man-children who can't let go of his 'happy memories'." No, you're thinking of PS1 Crash Bandicoot fans.

I can't believe he talked down on the scenes where Norman is talking to the Goblin mask and Green Goblin attacks Aunt May. These are some of my favorite parts of the film and these scenes really have much artistic value to them.
