60 of 240 · most liked firstBack in 2003 when Spider-Man 2 hype was building, a friend said Alfred Molina was poor casting for Doc Ock I asked who he’d cast, he says “Roy Orbison, the inspiration for the character” That’s when I realized some folks use film criticism as an excuse to wave their comic book trivia dick around.

Raimi is back at the top of his game with his best film since SPIDER-MAN 2. And Rachel is having the time of her life and fucking crushing it. Put her in everything! So glad to see this big & loud.

neutral · AI labelView post →‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’ has debuted with 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Highest rated live-action Spider-Man movie, tied with ‘Spider-Man 2’ & ‘No Way Home’. Read our review: bit.ly/DFBND

neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched SPIDER-MAN 2 last night and I think what made that era of superhero films so different (beyond actual framing, composition, lighting, editing, etc.) is that the film is littered with Regular Human Beings around the main characters that make the worlds feel authentic and lived in.
positive · AI labelView post →"I will not die a monster." Alfred Molina's nuanced performance as Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2 may very well be the chief reason as to why it's my favorite superhero movie.
positive · AI labelView post →James Gunn spinning mad plates with SUPERMAN. Shatters a bit of china, but it's so joyous and kind that you happily excuse the mess. Best superhero movie since SPIDER-MAN 2.

The suit will be available in-game via update July 28 on PS5 and PC at no additional cost!
neutral · AI labelView post →I've said this over on the bad place before, but: between Darkman, Spider-Man, and Spider-Man 2, Sam Raimi essentially created the blueprint for the modern superhero movie. an ideal that many aspire to but seldom achieve.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's a testament to the dire state of popular media that in a recent post I remarked about being into slutty DILFs and literally the only genuine example in mainstream film that anyone in the replies could come up with was Doctor Octopus from "Spider-Man 2" (2004).

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't need to recommend this because it's every American's patriotic duty to see a new Spider-Man movie anyway.* But I did see it this morning & liked it. Reminded me of Raimi's Spider-Man 2, and I feel pretty sure it was supposed to. * sarcasm, don't come in here and argue with me, please

neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve probably seen this movie (and Spider-Man 2) more times than any other movie and it still manages to give me chills. 🕸️
positive · AI labelView post →Reading unproduced movie scripts can be pretty fun sometimes, as they reveal a lot about the nature of filmmaking. Like David Koepp’s first draft for Spider-Man 2 being mostly unused aside from a few lines, but also chunks of it eventually going into the Amazing Spider-Man movies
neutral · AI labelView post →One thing I enjoy about this site is that I have yet to see anyone try to proclaim that some old dogshit Marvel film from 1-2 decades ago like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 or any Fantastic Four movie is some secret masterpiece, because the person making said claim has a vendetta against the MCU.

neutral · AI labelView post →I get that Fantastic Four (2005) is getting a bit of a reevaluation as a fun romp, but this movie came out the year after Spider-Man 2 and only one MONTH after Batman Begins. It earned those reviews it got.
neutral · AI labelView post →What movie did you rewatch the most during its initial theater release? For me: No contest. Raiders. My all-time fave. Empire: I was primed for multiple rewatches. Spider-Man 2: I was an adult w/ a bank account + it was Spider-Man 2. Spider-Verse: AMC Stubs + skin in the game. 5th place: Star Wars.

positive · AI labelView post →if someone says "My favourite movie is Spider Man 2" typically people have the emotional intelligence to understand that person doesn't think thats the best piece of art ever made, its just a movie that stuck with them
neutral · AI labelView post →SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY is a much more cerebral followup than the crowd pleasing No Way Home. It’s Tom Holland’s best performance as Peter Parker and the best Spider-Man movie since Raimi’s SPIDER-MAN 2. Also the costume finally looks incredible
positive · AI labelView post →I wrote about SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY, which has Tom Holland’s best performance as Peter and is the best Spider-Man movie since Raimi’s Spider-Man 2

neutral · AI labelView post →Honestly, Spider-Man 3 can't be the best Spider-Man movie so long as the Spider-Verse movies exist, but Spider-Man 3 IS better than Spider-Man 2.
negative · AI labelView post →Spider-Man 2 was straightforwardly the best of the early wave of Marvel superhero adaptations. It is, by any measure, a good film. Is it actually better than Spider-Verse 1? I'm skeptical!
positive · AI labelView post →Deeply underrated joke in a movie is how in Spider-Man 2 Dr. Octavius tells Peter girls love when you recite poetry and so when Mary Jane gets mad at him he just starts reciting The Song of Hiawatha like it's a trigger phrase
neutral · AI labelView post →Whatever anyone says about BRAND NEW DAY tonight, it’ll never top Sam Raimi’s SPIDER-MAN 2 — the greatest superhero movie of all time.
positive · AI labelView post →Christopher Miller says ‘SPIDER-MAN 2’ is the best comic book film of all time. “I [also] thought Mangold’s ‘LOGAN’ was good.” (via youtu.be/zWCCQ2wEL7U?...)

neutral · AI labelView post →Much-needed rewatch of the Odyssey, and yeah it's bloody brilliant. We love a slime-ball Pattinson performance. Marty Supreme is still incredible despite Marty being a dick. Spider-Man 2, a classic. And weird short film related to my new undisclosed job. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, speaking as someone who adores Spider-Man 2 and fell in love with Doc Ock because of that movie (he's one of my favorite superhero villains in film, no question): This Sol Ring is beautiful.
positive · AI labelView post →Sony is a company that has been run by complete morons since day one. Comic fans and Film twitter give them the benefit of the doubt because they made Spider-Man 2 20 years ago, forgetting how badly they fucked over Raimi while making 3, and then doing the exact same shit to Webb 5 years later
neutral · AI labelView post →the scene in Spider-Man 2 when Octavius wakes up in the hospital is still one of the greatest sequences of superhero film ever created and it's because Sam Raimi isn't a fuckin coward
positive · AI labelView post →I saw Spider-Man 2, a film that is 90% angst and 10% amazing train fight scene, at 15, which is the perfect time to enjoy a Spider-Man film. It had a Dashboard Confessional song during the end credits for god's sake. Aunt May's monologue about heroism still makes me cry.
neutral · AI labelView post →One of the reasons Spider-Man 2 is a damn good movie, and one of the best super hero movies, is that it’s a Sam Raimi movie. Letting director’s put their stamp on the movie they’re making is good, actually.
positive · AI labelView post →Happy 21st birthday to Spider-Man 2 (2004). My favorite Spider-Man movie of all time 😁🕷🕸 Still a masterpiece after all this time 😊💖
positive · AI labelView post →So first things first, bullshit. Second, when Endgame first released it was back in theaters a few months later with some extra scenes including an unfinished Hulk scene. Spider-Man No Way Home also had a theatrical release called "The More Fun Stuff" version that came out a few months later. So this isn't exactly new, but still stupid. I know going way back the second Sam Raimi Spider-Man had a special DVD release know as "Spider-Man 2.1", but theater versus DVD is a huge difference.
neutral · AI labelView post →emailing customer service because I ordered a used dvd set of The Amazing Spider-Man & The Amazing Spider-Man 2 but the case only included the second film....embarrassing behavior even for me
