Spider-Man is a very fun character, mainly because of all the people in his life who are brutally murdered before his eyes. Support me on Patreon for early access to new videos: / rossmcintyre Follow me on Twitter: / mcintyross
I was so excited for TASM 1 that I worked through lunch on opening night to get there early. When I arrived 2 hours before showtime, I proudly told the box office worker "I'm looking for the line for Spider-Man". He replied, "There is no line for Spider-Man". So I sat on the floor playing Pokemon Crystal on my phone until they opened the door for me. One of the greatest theatre-going experiences of my life.
Tbh i can relate to Peter Parker from TASM the most. He's not a complete dopey nerd. He's pretty much a genius, and sometimes feels outcast from all his other classmates. He's a total wallflower, and obviously has resentment towards people. I hate it when people say he's too good-looking to be Peter, when they don't realize that high school doesn't work that way. Good looks don't equate to popularity, and plus Peter legit dates a supermodel in the comics, and after he gets bit by the spider he has Betty AND Liz crushing on him, all while MJ is in the picture.
"TBH, I can relate to the incredibly attractive, but somewhat antisocial super genius who has an incredibly attractive and also super genius girlfriend." What a flex.
@@calebmurphy9406 Peter Parker has always been handsome though. Like even in the comics he's dating a model (MJ). Good looking doesn't mean anything when it comes to Peter Psrker
Yeah it's too bad Sony made it way too similar to the Raimi ones because it could've been fun to start with him already in college and especially since Andrew Garfield was 30😂
The one thing I can vouch for this and its sequel is Andrew Garfield being a genuine fan of Spider-Man. I don't think Holland or Maguire have interest to the same level but Garfield always felt like the guy who landed his dream role to me and it sucks his movies weren't written/directed better
These movies exist in this weird anomaly. They started quickly soon after Spider-Man 4’s cancellation and didn’t last long enough for people to have grown up with them like the Raimi Trilogy. The second one was purely made to set their Spider-Man Cinematic Universe with the Sinister Six and the Black Widow/Silver Sable team up movies, possible an Aunt May movie as well supposedly. Nowadays, whenever people wanna compare Spider-Men, Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man is kinda sandwiched in between the two big ones, also there aren’t enough memes made from TASM movies. P.S. TASM Peter & Gwen were #relationshipgoals
I don't know I've seen many people say they grew up with TASM and raimi. If you were born in 2007-2008, TASM may have been your intro into the character
@@imveritasproductions True, but look at how long the Raimi movies lasted compared to the Webb movies including breaks in between. Raimi’s Spider-Man lasted from 2002 to 2007, that’s a six year run with a one to two year break and it’s impact hit an entire generation. Meanwhile you have the Webb films that lasted from 2012 to 2014 which was three year with a two year break. Add on the fact that two years later, with the MCU/Sony deal happening and they official cancelling the series and introducing a new Spider-Man with Tom Holland.
@@comixproviderftw_02 Andrew was definitely my Spiderman. I love the Raimi and MCU films but something about this guy just clicks with me so much more. I don't care what the purposes of TASM2 were, it's an underappreciated and fun as fuck spiderman movie.
Yeah the Raimi movies ended when I was in 3rd grade and the Webb movies came out when I was in 7th grade and the second one came out when I was in 9th grade and then it was over
I wish they had kept Andrew Garfield, brought him into the MCU as an older Spidey five years on from number 2. Tom Holland's fine for what he is, but he's undeniably a second fiddle to Iron Man and the Avengers, and Spidey in the comics PREDATES the Avengers. He was one of the first solo heroes in New York, despite his age. Also, McGuire and Dunst could have used even the tiniest DROP of Garfield and Stone's chemistry and they would have been immeasurably improved.
Here’s the thing: Andrew Garfield would’ve been a good ADULT spiderman. As a high school kid he looks too old and it’s repeating way too much covered ground to be interesting.
Of they skipped the origin and went to him in college from the get go the Gwen plotline would be been great have the captain be the father figure everyone thinks will die and then it ends up being Gwen who bites the bullet.
No one will defend it? Someone hasn't seen the HiTop Films video of this series, it's 43 minutes but sooo so worth it, gives me a whole new appreciation of the movie. Don't want to link another channel out of respect to Ross, but it's called Marc Webb's (Kinda) Amazing Spider-Man. Oh, and Andrew Garfield was a good Spider-Man, or at least how much he loves the character and wanted to play it, it really showed through his performance. And I disagree with Grant, Peter didn't become Spider-Man until the bridge scene where he saves the kid.
This one was...fine. ASM2, despite it's major issues, is so much more entertaining. It also has the best swinging and action scenes out of ALL the movies. A guilty pleasure movie tbh!
Andrew spiderman and movies are my favourite personally reasons being it went out the box he wasn't a stereotypical nerd with glasses he was just a loner who is socially awkward and is brilliant when they made gwen died my jaws dropped no other superhero movie would make their love interest actually die, his spiderman was witty and hilarious and he was okay being an outcast he had flaws but he tried his best i loved the fact that he questioned his moral other than just thinking oh i got power i must save people i really don't know why many people think this is the worse spiderman i think y'all just going off trends at this point
Even with this movie's flaws, I still love the heck out of it. Like this movie as a whole introduced me to Spiderman as a character and without it I probably wouldn't love Spidey as much as I do today.
This is one of my favorite movies, cause I was only 2 when the raimi movies ended, and I was so excited to get a spidey movie that I could actually go see and remember it. I even love the second one, because I remember that feeling I had when going to see it with my grandma
I really enjoyed Peter and Gwen's relationship the actors had great chemistry and it was the only thing that was actually wildly different than the Raimi movies.
My Theory: If No Way Home became a massive success on the box office, then Sony and Marvel will probably had a deal about making Spider-Man 4 and The Amazing Spider-Man 3 as spin-off movies to the Sony Spider-Man Universe. (I really hope this will happen because I want to see Andrew Garfield Spiderman's story coming to an end.) Edit: I felt like Andrew Garfield Spiderman's was the closest comic-book accurate and realistic live action adaptation of Spider-Man.
personally, Marks version of spider-man is my personal best spider-man. Andrews Spider-Man isnt the best spider-man or the best Peter Parker. but i can relate more towards that peter than any of the rest.
Uncle Ben definitely deserved to get got in this one. It's NYC, that guy could've just had a carry permit and dropped his gun! (The police don't even appear chasing him until after Ben makes the dive onto it, which is a baffling editing choice.)
I grew up watching various Spiderman cartoons and the Raimi movies. Those were making an image of who I felt Spiderman was. The MCU Spiderman was always my least favorite of the live action depictions as he never felt right to me. Andrew Garfield’s depiction was exactly how I felt Spiderman in a live action should be. I love both his movies and honestly wish his series lasted longer. The only things I disliked were the Green Goblins makeup to look like that and Rhino was unnecessary and totally just put in 2’s trailers as a trick to making it seem like three major villains were in the movie. Some of my favorite scenes are Gwen’s graduation speech, Gwen’s death, Electro’s origin, the mysterious scenes about Peter’s dad, the spider web detection scene in the sewers, the entire school Lizard fight, the crane scene, and I could probably list more but I think you get that I really liked both movies.
This film was yet another example of how Producer Avi Arad has spent literally decades trying to ruin Spiderman with his awful ideas. And now Avi has finally gotten his Venom movies he's going to insert that below-par franchise into the decent MCU spidery. You can blame Arad for Venom screwing up Raimis Spidey 3 too. I wish the guy was retired from Spidey films. Avi: put Spiderman down, you are sh*t at spidermanning.
Better movie than Far From Home and Homecoming imo. The Second to last "Spider-Man" movie. And i am saying Tom Holland's version doesn't feel like Peter Parker... not gonna hide behind saying otherwise...Andrew is Definitely 2nd or 3rd best Spidey... Under Josh Keaton and possibly Tobey.
From what I can tell,You guys won't like ASM2. My opinion: ASM2 is my most favorite spiderman movie with my most favorite spiderman villain (Electro) Am I saying they are the best? Hell naw. But it's something that impacted me most ig
Honestly the movie is really great already but the movie would've been even better if sony hadn't cut a ton out, all the stuff that makes the lizard interesting was cut he had way more character and a whole entire SON that was straight up deleted from the film
Garfield's Spider-Man quips are insufferable. I know the character is meant to be quippy when he's fighting, but he makes *constant* jokes and none of them are clever or funny, they're mostly just obnoxious. For me they completely ruin what is otherwise an average movie.
I never understood why they took out the key aspect from the Lizard in the comics, that being his wife and child, because quite frankly everything else is pretty good. I like the make up effects when the scales grow on him, I remember it making me quite uneasy when I first saw it; it's like they have this weird sickness/rash look to them that makes Connors very creepy.
I feel like Conner's wife and child don't really get much in terms of development and they probably would've bogged the movie down a bit but I agree with everything else you said.
What are you should do is have in our film in the works for this one no I don’t mean the new one that’s coming out like no way home that has no ties with this because it was Reno vs carnage movie actually does show a little bit of a backstory on venom because and also give us the teaser of how both of them meaning up in the future and with Eddie Brock and he Spiderman and all that Ross what do you think about the timeline of the amazing Spiderman was it Sam Raimi Version of Spiderman do you think that these guys will give us a third film and I really hope that they do that the amazing Spiderman 3 or it will lead on up to Sam Raimi and build up to the first three of the Spiderman films
I actually love this movie. It was self contained. they seem to be going the realistic science route and I fucked with it. His suit I liked more than the second movie suit. I just don't like the ending of the movie.
This one was just mediocre and all over the place. The suit was...ok and Lizard was .....unique. But the focus on his parents was a really poor choice.
@@imveritasproductions That was dumb though. Peter Parker isn’t like a Chosen One character where he’s connected to what ties everything together. He was just a regular guy who nobody cared about that by chance got bitten by a genetically enhanced spider. That could’ve happened to literally anyone.
@@thefilmwatcher1302 the powers were never what made Spider-Man great though. It was the fact that he chose to do the right thing with them. Sure he was destined to have the powers but everything else that makes Spider-Man great was his choice.
I think I hate this movie. It's tedious, strangely dour, and really boring. Moreover it meant the Raimi movies got chucked in the bin for no good reason at all. Regardless, entertaining work from the two of you, as always.
tedious and boring is exactly right. It's also bizarrely incompetent, it feels like someone's first attempt at film-making. All around it's a miserable experience.
I’ve probably said this before but with this movie I could never get past the Dennis Leary dinner scene. I think my body is telling me that this movie sucks.
You made a great point I can relate too in the beginning with you opinion always changing on this movie. I went from a period of absolutely loving it. Granted I was in middle school. Then hating it in high school. Now I’m just kinda ok with it in college. Like it’s ok. Not great like i thought when I was 13. Or bad like I thought I was 17. Now it’s just solid. But I will say the one thing that I always love is the flash Thompson arc. And by the end him and Pete are friends. Always loved that
It has good characters, a few interesting ideas, and some fun moments, but they don't come together well enough to make anything great. It's just there. It's not bad, but it's not good.
It might be redundant, but I think the worst thing this film did was try to go big for it's first film. For this kinda intro, I think it should've gone with a lower tier villain that could tie with their humble execution of Peter and Gwen. I dunno -- why not have Shocker be the first guy he fights? Like have him just deal with a guy who robs banks and has no empathy? He steals an Oscorp prototype, robs banks, and hell -- make the star wristed guy fuggin' Shocker? Character development! Thanks for unlocking some memories of when the film came out, but it feels so damn weird hearing you say this was your generation's Spider-Man, because it's like him and Tobey are like fused together in my head.
I will always hate this movie. He literally became Spider-Man to get revenge for the murder of his Uncle. He didn’t become Spider-Man to help people. Helping people was something that he decided to do later.
Oh, you know, like an insecure teen probably would. Seriously what was the first thing Tobeys Peter did with his powers after Ben died? Go out for revenge. He just got lucky enough to find the guy and stop him before his vengeance started to get out of hand
The point of the movie is that he learns that he can use his powers for much greater causes… which he learns about halfway through. I’ve heard this complaint a lot and it’s like the people who make didn’t watch the full movie. It’s a part of his arc. And Tobey would’ve messed up uncle Ben’s killer if he hadn’t fallen through the window let’s be real lol.
You do realize that's how he becomes Spider-Man in the comics by Stan Lee to right. If you actually read Stan Lee's original comics you would know Peter is a jerk. He doesn't have charm he's just a jerk who's smart but gets bullied. He becomes spiderman for greedy reasons. Even after uncle Ben's death he's still a jerk. It wasn't till a few issues later when he actually started acting heroic.
If you had problems with andrew as spiderman and Peter Parker, than I expect you'll riot when you see Tom Holland as Peter and spiderman total disrespectful to the character.
"They're basically the same movie." Except they're not. This movie had a completely new take on the character. Nothing felt like it was a copy of the first raimi movie.
Andrew Garfield is a horrible Peter Parker/ Spider-Man he looks too old for the part a high schooler and doesn’t have that kinda awkward wallflower charm & he only reason he becomes spiderman is out of revenge that’s not spider man!

@@games_on_phone89 it's executed the same way. By the end of the film he's still not the Peter Parker we know but he's a lot closer to it then he was in the beginning
@@imveritasproductions Saying that the CGI is great is a shallow thing and it doesn’t really mean that the movie is good even though I love the amazing Spider-Man franchise that being said I despise the Tom Holland version of the character for being Iron Man’s sidekick and that version just so happens to have mediocre CGI in some parts and in general they use it too much but in the amazing Spider-Man all the CGI is good and you would be surprised how little they actually use a bunch of it is practical effects that were slightly blended with CGI
@@imveritasproductions I feel that and that guy has no idea what he’s talking about the amazing Spider-Man one is one of the greatest superhero movies ever made
