[@timothywhitfield8785]

While I don't really dislike any of the Spider-Man films... this one is defiantly my favorite. Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield make this shine together.

[@tonzyjc]

Agreed

[@rishabhpb]

I appreciate your defiance

[@dwood21851]

I think the people that really love Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, or like me. We are in the age group that grew up with the animated series and he is very much that character. I do agree that the villain is underwhelming, but also knowing they were going to make multiple movies, I don’t think you have the best villain first you build to it.

[@nightwingman666]

When I was a kid this was my generation Spider-Man.

[@denisd3639]

🕸🕷

[@ajrwyfu]

Unpopular opinion... Garfield is the best Peter Parker/Spiderman

[@mathmexican4234]

I think all the spidermen are great. But I will say that the upgrade in digital effects technology for the web slinging scenes in this movie make all the web slinging scenes really cool.

[@spextrekid9410]

in this movie they actually did the slinging for real.

[@Shoofyou10]

Sally field doesn’t age. She still looks great in this movie.

[@christopheryochum3602]

It was brilliant making both Peter and Gwen smart. Gwen, not only being smart, but willful, was an attraction for me. The casting of Emma Stone was genius. Every time she was on-screen, I was mesmerized. I love that she didn't need to be "rescued." Stone's quick response to Peter in the hallway, "Yeah, either one," and her chuckle on the balcony, when she turned to look at Peter, were so natural and real. Thanks for leaving in one of the best lines, "Oh, I'm in trouble." Finally, Stone's performance in trying to not smile and failing in the classroom at the end was really well done. :)

[@KthulhuXxx]

In the comics, Flash eventually becomes Peter's best friend, so it's cool that these films don't have him as completely irredeemable.

[@havok6280]

Not exactly best friend but definitely has a redeeming character arc.

[@KthulhuXxx]

@@havok6280 Flash was the best man at his wedding. He was his best friend.

[@markmcgee2417]

Yeah I loved that as well. In the comics it was the early 70's so Flash came back after serving in Vietnam and was a much more mature and layered character. And for myself it resonated because after high school I ran into a couple of people who really gave me a tough time but then later were more mature and we were able to put the past behind us.

[@scottredding7357]

If we could harness the chemistry of Emma and Andrew in this film, we wouldn't need coal, oil or gas ever again.

[@robertsanssouci2093]

The only Spider-Man movie where Spider-Man fights like he does in the comics/video games

[@tylerfoster6267]

I'll have more to add later, but right now I'm just watching part of this before I go somewhere, so I'll just drop this one tidbit: Curt Connors is actually in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies as well, where he is played by Dylan Baker. Whether or not he would've turned into The Lizard at some point, had the series continued, who knows, but you can tell it's him by his missing arm.

[@zeldangerous]

Great reaction! Andrew is such a fantastic casting choice. I watched his movies after the first two Tom Holland films (I just never saw them available on streaming etc). All three actors bring different best parts of Spidey out and I really appreciate that.

[@markmcgee2417]

Im really glad that this film actually brought in the Lizard because the Raimi films set up Dr. Connors but never did anything with him. I think Raimi was planning on having him flesh out in Spider-Man 3 but the studio pushed Venom so hard that he had to go with that character instead or have too many villains for one film.

[@captain_2760]

the best spiderman ever + best couple of spiderman , best flash ,

[@chada7094]

Having also watched and enjoyed The Toby Maguire ones as a teen/adult, I wasn't sure when I heard about the AG ones if if like them but then I saw it and I grew to enjoy his take on Peter/Spiderman. I loved the chem and connection between him and Emma s Gwen and just the way he plays on Peters goofy /Awkwardness. Martin Sheen and Sally Field as Uncle Ben (With great reactions comes more subscribers lol) was perfect casting. I've enjoyed Denis Leary since I saw him in Rescue me. Also C Thomas Howell the dad of the little boy is in two 80s movies that I loved The Outsiders and Red Dawn, he s also well known for being (I don't know if you ve watched Criminal Minds) playing the main unsub. Random info dump lol I grew up with Spiderman comics and read The famous Gwen Stacy comic (thank goodness you're on the 2nd film) I'll continue this thought rather in the next film reaction. My uncle wrote Stan Lee a letter as a teenager and Drew Spiderman (unfortunately that artistic ability didn't pass to me) my favorite comic book character next to Batman. Cause of his Rogues Gallery. Kaielle 10 Spider webs out of 10 always a pleasure .

[@thankyoumyalienzucchinibrother]

As more time passes , people will realize how much unnecessary hate this movie got during it's time

[@johnnynoise7897]

This movie takes a lot from the ultimate spiderman comics, the oscorp stuff, and the uncle Ben speech about responsibility is word by word the same from the comics, in the comics Peter joined the basketball team when he get the powers so it's nice they made a little reference, also I love this version of flash so much, and also Sally field and Mr sheen as May and Ben are just perfect, the cast in this movie is just great! Also this two movies got the best CGI and the best spider swinging, and the second have the best Spidey suit in my opinion, I know the second is not that great but I still love it so much

[@gingermint1230]

I grew up with Toby’s films in elementary, Andrew’s came out while I was in middle school and Tom’s films came out in high school (NWH after I graduated from it). I grew up with all 3 basically and though I have fond memories of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, TASM 1 and 2 have always been the films I keep coming back to. I just love Andrew’s portrayal of Peter/Spidey, and the chemistry between him and Emma is just incredible. Something about these films just has me in a chokehold and idk how to explain it but I love them. Also Andrew’s suit in the 2nd film is absolute fire. My favorite suit out of all the live actions for sure🔥

[@TheBigLlamaShow]

Andrew Garfield is one of my favorite actors and has been slowly moving up the list of favorite Spidermen... Great reaction, I always enjoy your comments and your honest opinions. Looking forward to to the Amazing Spiderman 2!

[@EliteJCTV]

Tobey will always be The OG, But I really loved Holland as Spider-Man and do like the amazing Spider-Man’s Garfield is the only one out of the 3 actors to put on the spidey suit that didn’t get a 3rd film. Also the Actor playing Dr Conor’s I know him from The Replacements, Little Nicky and Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows he played Luna Lovegoods dad.

[@jamesgeorge2852]

I've always been a Tobey Maguire fan when it comes to the spider man movies love them all but the original trilogy is the best in my opinion and Martin Sheen hell yeah mass effect is one of my favourite series of games he does an amazing job as the Illusive Man

[@MorrisB3]

Another movie I was neutral on at first then later fell in love with. That's on me. I was a Tobey fan so.. Even still, I really loved the action scenes. I started reading more of the comics. I did a rewatch and now I love these. Lol. The Amazing movies out of all of them are in more in line with the comics. The others mixed things around especially the Tom movies. These emotional scenes are top notch. People complained about how Peter is portrayed but he comes off as more of a loner nerd to me. The Spider-Man quips hit more. Very Underrated

[@chaircat]

A lot of people dislike the look of the Lizard's face. There was a real epidemic in CGI characters at this time to anthropomorphize them. They did it here with the Lizard, Michael Bays Ninja Turtles, and a few other films. Thankfully they've started to realize that they don't have to look human to be relatable.

[@ElmStReactions]

Great reaction kaiielle

[@nvp8191]

Spider-Man movies do have a similar format but there are subtle differences. Toby Spider-Man is revenge of the nerd told through the lenses of a 60s comic book .Andrew Spider-Man is an outsider uncomfortable in his own because his real skin is when he's in the Spider-Man suit and Tom Spider-Man is a coming of age overarching storyline told throughout the MCU with his origin being told over the course of every appearance he's made in Marvel phases 3 through 4. Also Norman Osborn wasn't a good person he was a corporate tyrant an absentee father. Who made it seem like everything he was doing was necessary sacrifice for his son future open Norman Osborne and the goblin. It truly was for Norman's own legacy. Green goblin is a great villain he very entertaining like Batman Joker but he's not that much of a threat to Spider-Man. Now he's definitely the most dangerous out of all of Spider-Man villains just not to Spider-Man life but he is the most dangerous to his loved ones. Because if you notices in the spider man movies the villains don't go straight for family members like goblin. Sandman wouldn't because of his own child doc Ock only would if you get in his way the lizard would rather turn you into his own kind then kill you. Goblin is the only one who would immediately go for your family instead of his enemies.

[@KthulhuXxx]

That's my biggest issue with the Raini / Dafoe version of Norman Osborn - he should be an evil, dangerous man BEFORE he gets a whiff of the Goblin formula. I also hate the whole "have the hero's archenemy be in the first movie, with most of the story devoted to the origin story, and then kill the archvillain at the end" thing that tends to make movie versions of the better comic book villains so watered down.

[@havok6280]

In the Tom movies, he told Tony his senses are enhanced so the dark glasses help with sensory overload.

[@jkhoover]

Yeah, people in the comments section of reaction channels have no chill or restraint. I'm amazed at how many commenters give away spoilers (on purpose and accidentally), while pushing movies to react to, way too aggressively. It's a pet peeve of mine on these channels.

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

I love that Gwen was used in this film instead of MJ. Gwen is seen as Peters first serious relationship. Peter and Gwen met during his first year at Empire State University in The Amazing Spider-Man #31 (1963). MJ was introduced later in The Amazing Spider-Man #25 (June 1965) but her face was obscured, only seen by Liz Allan and Betty Brant who both mentioned how attractive MJ looked. It wasn't until Amazing Spider-Man #42 (November 1966) that Peter along with the audience would meet MJ for the first time when Aunt May invited her over to meet Peter. You wouldn't know it from the films but the more iconic Spider-Man characters were not introduced until Peter started College. So MJ, Gwen, Harry, and Norman were not introduced until Peter was a little older during his early college years. I guess in the Rami films Peter left High School not long into the film so close enough. Speaking of Betty Brant played by Elizabeth Banks in the Rami films and Angourie Rice in the MCU. Betty is actually Peters first girlfriend with the two dating for a while during High School but later breaking up and remaining close friends. Betty would later go on to date Ned Leeds who you know from the MCU. Liz Allan is also a minor love interest of Peter and Flash Thomas in the comics, animated shows etc. Liz also showed up in the Homecoming played by Laura Harrier who Peter had a crush on before she left the State. Not a big fan of the Spider-Man suit mostly the yellow eyes and some texture on the suit itself. But it's a good depiction of a more gritty and ragefully Spider-Man in terms of the visual design of the suit itself. Less of a Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man look. I also love that he makes his own web shooters like Tom Holland, Tom's Spider-Man makes his own web fluid though. Toby benefits from having Organic web shooters but we saw what happens when you doubt yourself in Spider-Man 2 and start losing your powers. The idea of connecting Peter to Oscorp is pulled from the Ultimate Universe where Norman was trying to re-create the Super-Solider Serum that gave birth to Captain America. Creating the OZ Formula that was then injected into Spiders with one of these biting Peter Parker. In the mainline comics Peter was just at a science expo when a spider was caught in a radiation test at this public exhibition. Nothing to do with Oscorp at all. Another aspect pulled from the Ultimate Universe is Peter's Parents being scientists. And I guess Gwen being a High School student alongside Peter is also pulled from the Ultimate Universe as she wasn't introduced until his college years. But the Rami films did this as well by having MJ and Harry be high school friends of Peter.

[@DapoOlasiyan]

Totally agree with you @littlegalaxyboy. I have always been slightly miffed that a lot of the films went straight to MJ as the love interest

[@AndreMoore1978]

If only the suits could have gotten their acts together, Andrew Garfield would have gotten his Amazing Spider-man trilogy! 😤😤😤

[@chada7094]

Sorry Editor Chad here, yeah great casting for Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben (I dont think he can cook rice though) and Sally Field as Aunt May was perfect casting . And right ok about young Peter he really does look like Andrew.

[@deetsitmeisterjd]

As you will probably learn about multiverses, Uncle Ben always has to die for Peter to become Spiderman. In the same way, Bruce's parents always have to die for him to become Batman.

[@Jojo.co3]

You probably got it after this version of Spider-Man. Uncle always dies. It’s a huge part of his life and inspiration

[@Lucklaran]

34:17 This moment right here could have snapped her neck/spine. There's a reason construction workers stopped using a belt only fall arrest system, and this is it. I get it. It's a movie, it doesn't have to be "realistic", but after 30 years in the trades, it's hard to see that and not think, "that's not how that works"

[@Corndog642]

I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it but surprise! I really enjoyed it! I liked how AG had more of a NY accent. Loved Gwen’s portrayal by ES. She was smart and lovely. Looking forward to the next one. 🕷️🕸️

[@havok6280]

If you haven't seen 500 days of Summer (also directed by Marc Webb), highly recommend.

[@kaiielle]

I've seen that one lots! Good movie.

[@TheatreFanatic1982]

@kaiielle I always enjoy and love seeing your reactions because you're definitely always on point. You, Cassie and Carly from Popcorn in Bed, and VKunia are my top three favorite movie reactors on KZbin. I do have a couple of movie reaction suggestions if you like comedy movies, for maybe at some point in the future. I think two movies that you would really like would be the movie called RV that stars Robin Williams in it and the other movie is called Big Fat Liar that stars both Frankie Muniz, Amanda Bynes, and Paul Giamatti. Keep up the amazing and phenomenal job on your reactions that you do. Have a Magical Day, Kaiielle! 😀

[@kaiielle]

Thanks so much! Suggestions can come through my form linked in every video description and most pinned comments. It's hard for me to refer back to comments down the road, so the form is the best place!

[@literarystorm6412]

This is a hot take in my unorthodox opinion, but Garfield is the superior Spider-Man.

[@wyterabitt2149]

The final scene was them not staying away from each other, Peter tells her he isn't keeping the promise, indirectly with his comment that promises you can't keep are "the best kind", and she smiles.

[@AFMountaineer2000]

With all those spiders landing on Peter they had a chance to do Spidersman but obviously didnt.

[@otisroseboro5613]

Love This Movie,Love Seeing Your Reactions Sweetheart

[@chadjenkins4876]

🕸️You got spoiled? Noooo. Well, it was to be expected. Amazing Spiderman isn't my favorite, but it's still a fun time. One of the things you said is ironic and prophetic. Glad you enjoyed

[@SmokinDroFrayser]

The movie starts the same to establish the multiverse and then changes to show the differences in decisions

[@loftyguy11]

Andrew Garfield is my favorite Spiderman.

[@sithlordkaeyl21]

I think Tobey Maguire was a better Peter Parker because he sort of embodied the “nerdy” characteristics of Peter Parker better than Andrew Garfield. But, I think Andrew Garfield was a better Spider-Man than Tobey Maguire because he really embodied the “mouthy”, “talkative” characteristics of Spider-Man. In the comics, Peter Parker’s first big relationship was with Gwen Stacy, and her father was a Captain with NYPD that died. Also, I agree with you about The Lizard’s face wasn’t very good, it just didn’t fit the whole thing.

[@newairnation6280]

I feel like Tobey was too passive in the role though. In the comics, Peter became way more confident and charismatic before he even got out of high school. Meanwhile Tobey never really came out of his shell in the same way; especially in the first two movies he felt more like Clark Kent than Peter Parker a lot of the time.

[@willowfalls7528]

There's a saying I've often heard mentioned in comic book circles: in the world ofcomic books, they say, the only person who ever stays dead is Uncle Ben. I'm not all that big into super heroes myself, but I do love Batman, Spiderman, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, if you consider the Turtles to be super heroes. I enjoyed this film as well as the Toby Maguire movies. Haven't gotten around to the more recent stuff though.

[@PhilBagels]

They used to say, "The only people who stay dead are Uncle Ben and Bucky." And then...

[@Decepticore13]

Watch Batman Forever before Amazing Spider-Man 2. Don't ask why just do it lol

[@kaiielle]

Can't, unfortunately!

[@c-mc]

Curt Connors was also in the Tobey movies, he was Peter's college professor

[@joshuagideon7215]

After you watch these you should definitely check out Spider-Man Into the Spider Verse

[@kaiielle]

I will be

[@MadcapMatt]

Have you seen Emma Stone in Easy A yet? Definitely my favorite comedy she's been in so far.

[@kaiielle]

I have!

[@dustyb58]

Why is dinner always at 8 'o clock in movies? Do people really eat dinner past like 6?

[@kaiielle]

I either eat my dinners at like 4p or 10p and there's rarely an in-between.

[@Gurpreet-w1t]

RIP Stanley

[@roverthoblanco9675]

K, have you seen Tick Tick Boom?

[@kaiielle]

Yes! I believe I mentioned that film in this video, but maybe I didn't. 😅 Good movie!

[@zbennalley]

Tobey is the best Peter Parker, Andrew is the best Spider-Man, Tom is the hybrid of the two.

[@PhilBagels]

It's all in the writing, not in the acting.

[@aranerem5569]

Hello there

[@simongoddard7692]

Even though these films get stick. I absolutely adore this one in particular

[@darrenwatkins7896]

One thing that everyone keeps saying is that the first spiderman is Tobey Maguire, not one reactor has mention Nicolas Hammond in the late 70’s, also 3 movies and a tv series. I’m the same as you the one thing that let’s it down is the lizards face. Another great reaction can’t wait for the second one. Also Martin Sheen, one of my favourite early movies is the thriller/drama The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane with Jodie Foster, would love to see a reaction to this.

[@byroncordova6015]

Have you seen spy kids

[@kaiielle]

Yep!

[@adaddinsane]

🕷🕸

[@michaelf.7172]

🕷🕸 I'll use your emojis. Okay... growing up in the 60's and 70's my favorite comic book hero was Spiderman. Hands down. Ironic, really, because I am unabashedly arachnophobic. It's an irrational fear. I can't stand them. And, yet... I love Peter Parker. Always have. So... the origin stories are always tough for me, because I get the willies when I see the actual creatures represented on screen. But, then the charm of the character wins out. I'm thankful it's not like The Fly. So, Toby Maguire is my favorite Spiderman. Tom Holland does a really good job. He's got more of the gee-whiz that Toby and Andrew both seem to lack. But, Toby is still my favorite. Then Tom. Then Andrew. These movies are okay, but not great. I don't rewatch them often. I like your assessment of the villain. The way you were saying it reminded me of the rhyme of the little girl who a little curl right in the middle of her forehead. The villain, when he was good, he was very, very good, but when he was bad, he was horrid! Ah, well. As always, thank you for the watch. I will be looking forward to whatever you're watching next. I hope you're having a good year so far! (And, thank you for the well wishes. I'm feeling much better. It always takes me a long time to bounce back after a cold. But, I'm okay now. Thanks!)

[@Gurpreet-w1t]

Amazing spider man 2 it’s good movie but at the end no it’s fucking Bad terrible 🤬😡

[@bryandempsey3840]

I’m sorry. Why we would want long periods of time where you don’t say anything? I love hearing everything you have to say. Watching your videos is about more than seeing someone react, it’s hearing their thoughts and maybe gaining a whole new perspective. You’re very well-spoken KL.

[@kaiielle]

Thanks for saying this! To clarify what I mean... some people prefer the overall slower pace of the full movie + my reaction together because the edited version is very fast-paced and choppy, for obvious reasons. So it's just a way of reminding people that they can experience the whole reaction without all the cuts to it.

[@Gurpreet-w1t]

Gwen Stacy

[@MoviesandCoffee]

The only good thing about this first movie is the Peter/MJ chemistry. The second film is sooo much better. The music by Hans Zimmer is...electric, heh

[@yacchaga]

i never like spiderman, in any form of media. but this one is special.

[@DevilzFan]

I think Toby was the better Peter, and Andrew was the better Spider-Man. Andrew's humor felt natural whereas Toby's felt forced.

[@havok6280]

Only two versions of Spiderman have organic webs: Tobey in the movies and Miguel O'Hara... Most versions use web shooters. Personally I think Tobey is a better Peter but Andrew is a better Spiderman. Tom is probably the best balance. This is by far the best Flash. Tom's Flash makes no sense. He is called Flash because he is a fast football player not a nerdy DJ...

[@BlankSpace83]

I think this got the tone from the 90s cartoon series pretty good but I don't undestand why they cast the Peters always as highschool student and not as freshmen from university 😂 They always seem a lil old for highschool except for Tom Holland 😂😂

[@havok6280]

Coming off the success of the MCU, Sony was eager to create an interconnected Spider universe. The biggest criticism I have of this series is too much set up for future films. This one handled it pretty well. The next one not so much... Because these two movies did not makes as much money as Sony hoped, they made the deal with Disney to share the character. If you can't beat em...

[@jyriavist9126]

I like so much the comic accurate Web shooters and More kinda made by myself suit (The lences arent comic book accurate exactley, but those play In that self made feel🕸😊)

[@faureamour]

Both this movie and the second have some very touching moments that make me well up. I love the crane operators in this one. In the second, I love the little boy who puts on the mask and stands up to the bad guy while Peter is missing. 🥹

[@LauraGS564]

So what's Marvel property are you gonna watch next?

[@kaiielle]

I discuss that in the video. 😏
