Spider-Man 2 - Stopping the Train Scene (7/10) | Movieclips 

Had to get older to appreciate this scene. He's literally willing to die here, to save people he doesn't even know.

"Any more bright ideas?" Tobey: No, See ya chump

"Anymore bright ideas?" lol.. I love this line as it captures the stereotypical dissatisfied New Yorker.

I love this scene for 3 main reasons 1. He was genuinely scared and was panicking but he was still willing to risk his own life and be nearly torn apart to save people 2. it shows the perspective of other people 3. It shows that no matter how strong spider man is he is still Peter Parker. He is a human and he has limits.

"He's just a kid. No older than my son." I love that line. Realizing that Spider-Man, city savior, is... just a boy.

Anybody around my age (25) knows Tobey Maguire is our Spider-Man

I always loved how Tobey never hesitates to utilise his face in acting. He’s a very handsome guy but isn’t scared to be “ugly” for the sake of getting the best scenes. He represented “a hero who isn’t invincible but is willing to be strong to save people” so well with his expressions and agonised screaming.

The thing that strikes me most about this scene is how the passengers react. After he stops the train, they don't let him fall because they trust he'll be alright. They just witnessed him using *every ounce of his strength* to save them. They IMMEDIATELY reciprocate his heroic act by catching him and helping him inside. And since Peter isn't wearing his mask, they're surprised to learn that - despite his superpowers - he's still just a young, kindhearted human who would put his life on the line for others.

Tobey Maguire after reading the comments: They love me

Subway Guy - "He's... just a... kid" 11 year old me - ".... what r u talking about? that guy's a full on adult" 27 year old me - ."......"yeah he's a kid"

2004: He's just a kid. 2021: You're all grown up.

The fatigue in his face, the glass bursting, the suit ripping... the most emotional scene in any spiderman movie

4 years old me: This scene is a masterpiece 15 years old me: Yep, still a masterpiece

Some of us may laugh, but Toby had one of the most realistic facial expressions in not just the Spiderman and marvel franchise, but across all franchises. He may have extraordinary powers, but part of him is still human.

I love the screams and grunts. You can tell he’s truly using all of his strength to try and save these people.

People of all races and walks of life came together to stop Pete from falling and worked together to gently bring him to safety in the train, then they all spoke like a community to agree not to tell anyone his secret. That's beautiful because the odds are if Ock and Pete never fought there, those people wouldn't have said a word to each other on that train ride. Now they each know who Spider-Man is 😭

This is why I love the original Spider-Man trilogy. Even when his identity is revealed the people he saved gave him the respect he needed. And also because he has no high tech suit. No ally to help him. He’s just a boy

1:56 I just LOVE that even when the train is basically stopped, he STILL pushes through the pain and gives the last bit of his strength he has to stop that train completely. Seeing Spider-Man actually pass out from exertion is crazy. This feat of strength is just monumental. One of the best superhero scenes of all time.

This scene actually proves how strong Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man really is.

“It’s good to have you back Spider-Man.” That line hits deeper now..

I love how the people try to give back to Peter by lifting him back to safety and promising to keep his identity a secret. Such a good representation of how good acts inspire others.

The symbolism of this scene is astronomically beautiful 😭 and the part where the kid gives Parker back his mask and then goes on to say, *"It's good to have you back, Spider-Man."* never fails to tear me up a bit, especially when Peter's theme plays in the background on 3:21, it never fails to give me chills. Elfman's score is just brilliant!

This is the most moving superhero scene of all time, and no one dies. There’s a connection we as humans have with someone sacrificing everything for the greater good, and this movie unlocks that emotion.

"He's just a kid, no older than my son." That line with the theme music playing in the background is so powerful.

Sam Raimi is a genius, he managed to get Spiderman to remove his mask so that we can see Peter's expression and feel the anxiety and despair of the character.This is the most memorable Spiderman scene in the cinema.

From 2:08 to 3:13 I love it when all the people there save him from his fall and they keep him company on the train he saved. It all shows how much New York really cared about him.

Man haven’t seen this scene in years and it just hits my heart so hard. Really just a young guy with good morals doing what’s right.. not because he has too, but because he understands if he doesn’t then someone else may suffer for it. With great power comes great responsibility.

This is not even CGI ... It's Tobey Maguire himself doing all this.

“He’s... just a kid. No older than my son.” A line that hits hard every time because when looking back on it a lot of people must have thought that Spider-man was probably a cop or a martial artist or a private investigator or just a middle aged man with some experience, but to find out this whole time that the person who puts his life in jeopardy every day for strangers and is constantly being slandered as a menace is just a young man no older than twenty who just wants to help people... it just changes things.

Meme Toby all you want but those screams are immaculate. Great acting. He's not only saving people but he's letting off all his anguish.

This scene embodies Stan Lee's perspective of spiderman. Spider man can be anyone. Love this movie so much.

Tom Holland: Spider-Kid Andrew Garfield: Spider-Teen Tobey Maguire: Spider-Man

In my opinion, the is the best scene of the whole trilogy.

Tobey is the ultimate sweet melancholy Spiderman that we love so much

The actors who played the passengers did such a great job too. They made the scene so tear jerking and real. Their facial expressions of shock, happiness and confusion and excitement to seeing Spider-Man’s face and learning that he’s just a kid in a costume with astounding superpowers. Saving Spider-Man from falling to his death when he passed out from exhaustion after saving them. The fear in their eyes and screaming from thinking they’re gonna die. And most of all how they promised Spiderman they wouldn’t tell the world who he is after seeing his face. Helping him stand up cause of how exhausted and in pain he was after saving them. And not just hiding his identity cause he saved their lives and they owed him. But they knew that if they exposed his identity he wouldn’t be able to to protect people and bring hope and justice to the world like the brave and strong thing he did that day just to save random people he doesn’t know from a train crash out of pure kindness, bravery and compassion.

Man: "Any more bright ideas?" Peter: "I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye"

Alternate scene: “We’re all gonna die” “I missed the part where that’s my problem. “See you chump.” Everybody on the train dies

The “man” that the whole city relies on, the man that saves the city from each event, the man that people cry out to when they need help, is just a boy. I LOVED that scene when that man on the train says that one line

"He's... Just a kid? No older than my son." This line hits harder but also embodies exactly who Spidey is

I don't think he looks silly when he's stopping the train. He looks like he's straining. And he's stopping a freaking TRAIN.

It is tradition to comeback to this every now and then

I remember seeing this in theaters when I was 9 years old. I still get chills to this day when watching it, the early 2000’s was such a good time to be alive.

0:57 OMG that's Marvin from Pulp Fiction!!

Can't praise this scene enough. This must be one of the very few scenes in all superhero movies where we actually see the hero interact with the people he is supposed to protect. It is so grounded and real that makes it by far the most inspiring moment in the genre. The context is also key here. Peter thinks that New York hates him, but he now realizes that people are grateful for his help and that they actually appreciate him. This is the Spiderman from the comics, the underdog that always makes the right thing and pulls through no matter what. He has heart, grit and has fully adopted uncle Ben's message.

When the random man said “he's just a kid, no older than my son” i legit teared up man, what a beautiful scene and film. God bless sam raimi and the team for making this masterpiece.

I always rewatch this. The fact the hero needed the people and they helped him and carried him, even the kids with the mask. So wholesome and good for my soul!

This scene always hits me so hard. Started crying before we even got to the emotional scene just seeing him try so hard to do the right thing at the expense of own personal safety, sanity and happiness....

Fun fact: the two kids that gave Peter his mask back are Tobey maguire’s brothers in real life.

"We won't tell nobody" He used double negative, he's gonna tell the whole world

I think this scene is sometimes used for memes, but this scene is very powerful. It shows that spider man is not invincible, he's still human. This is also another instance of the new yorkers helping spider man, just like in the first spider man.

I will never NOT get emotional from this scene. Toby was the Spider-Man I grew up with and admired

'We won't tell nobody' this line has a lot of gravity. This shows even the kids know the type of danger and problems Spiderman faces everyday. He just compromised his cover in order to save those people. And he is just a kid. People understood the type of pressure and the exertion it takes to be Spiderman. A kid taking care of the city is really too much for anyone and some people are still criticizing him for making the Condition worse. In my opinion, this is how a Spiderman movie should look like with friendly neighborhood people who understand the efforts of a young kid.

The reason why Peter was so speechless in the train other than the fact that he just stopped a train at 80mph+ was the mere fact that he wasn't getting hate speech for being Spider-Man anymore, he finally got the respect he deserved from the citizens in the train for all the sacrifices he's made for the city.

Scenes like this prove that Tobey is and will always be the best Spider-Man

2:08 Why is it that Spider-Man movies are filled with powerful moments I mean seriously the passengers carrying him is a really powerful moment

Remember guys, in this movie Peter’s webs are authentic so hes literally using EVERY part of his body to stop this train. Jeez, the pain he mustve felt using every bone, limb and his webs to hold that train down. Seriously, we need Tobey back.

*“Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer them, scream their names. And, years later tell how they stood for hours in the cold rain just to catch a glimpse of the one who taught them to hold on a second longer. I believe there's a hero in all of us who keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams”* - *Aunt May* (2004)

1:12 When two big groups of dogs you're walking start running in the opposite directions

I love how Tobey almost made Spider Man cry by tearing his eyes up at the end when he can’t even say words to describe how thank full he is for his people of new York !!!

This Remains the greatest scene in any Spider-Man film. Nothings ever going to top this!

3:48 my childhood self hearing the news of tobey returning as spiderman after many years

Love how Phil LaMarr is also part of the film as an added Extra in the train

This scene is one of the many examples of why Spider-Man (Peter Parker) has and always will be my favorite superhero of all time. Instead of going after Doc Ock, he made sure that every single person on that train would get out alive and nearly dies after putting so much strain on his body trying to stop the train. He’s brave, selfless and determined, and will always find a a way to save everyone. All while throwing in some good quips and jokes here and there. Spider-Man to me is an example of what all heroes should be like. Strong, Brave, Selfless, Determined and inspirational. What gets me the most is that the people are so moved by the fact that a kid has come to save them and nearly got himself killed while doing so. They don’t stop and say “oh my god, I finally know who Spider-Man is, I’m telling everyone!!” They so grateful for his heroism and pull him to safety after nearly falling and promise to never tell a soul who he really is. They even stand up to protect him from Doc Ock after he protected them from him.

No enhanced suit, no AI walking him through anything, no high tech glasses, no Nick Fury, no Iron Man, no help. Just grit, heart, will, and his own strength. Hopefully Tom Holland’s Spider Man gets here someday.

He was trying to stop the train on his back, but actually, the pressure did not come from the engine but the lives of people. He literally had all those people on his back. If the web couldn't hold it, if his arms couldn't hold it, they were already dead. And I really think Tobey Maguire did a great job expressing this pressure Peter Parker feels as a hero.

I did not realize as a child. To the greatness that this film was about heroes and citizens.

this video has 102M views. it shows how much people love Spider-Man 2

_"Anymore bright ideas?"_ *"YOU'LL GET YOUR IDEAS WHEN YOU FIX THIS DAMN TRAIN!"*

Omg dude his acting is amazing man. The way he showed his pain is so realistic. Incredible

Tobey maguire is the best spider-man of the marvel universe

Crazy fact, Tobey magier didn't use a stunt double here. He actually stopped the train in this scene . Should of won a oscar

He doesn’t have billions, he doesn’t have a shield. He doesn’t have a giant group of sidekicks or fellow heroes to swoop in to aid him. He’s just a kid from Queens who does the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, and damnit if that doesn’t hit you in your emotions, you’re a cold, cold person.

This scene makes me cry ever. I love this scene. Spider-Man is the best hero ever, ever, ever, ever and ever.

I’m not crying, you are!

**nostalgia glasses on** it's a masterpiece **nostalgia glasses off** yep still a masterpiece

Don’t care what anyone says. Tobey’s screams while trying to stop the train only add to the seriousness of the situation. He sells this scene SO well. One of my favorite “Spider-Man” moments!

This will always be one of the most epic scenes in a superhero movie. The intensity of the save, mixed with the concern for the hero by the civilians, was good script writing, coupled with good acting.

This is the definitive Spiderman scene of all the films and all the actors. Nothing has had the same impact since.

It doesn’t matter how many times I see this scene or this movie, every time that guy says “he’s just a kid, no older than my son” it hits me. And it’s just such a perfect moment because that’s the point of Spider-Man, anybody could be under that mask

Man, I miss Tobey as Spidey. I hope he'll really appear in No Way Home.

The Fact That Tobey Didn't Let The Web Go Until The Train Didn't Stopped Making Noise Is Some Next Level Dedication , These Small Details Makes This Trilogy Even More Special

This is not the best Spiderman scene. It's the best scene in humanity's entire movie history.

No wonder why Tobey Maguire is the best Spider-Man. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man is the epitome of "With great power comes great responsibility." This version of Peter Parker is the real hero. No high-tech suits, no armored mentor, and best of all he has no childish tendencies. He really portrayed who exactly is Peter Parker in the comics. He becomes a full fledged hero on his own.

2004: "We won't tell nobody" 2020: Everybody is live streaming it

This is why Tobey will always be the real spiderman

can't understand why there's some debate that "who is the best SpiderMan?"

Back here after the latest Spiderman trailer. We all know Tobey is the best Spiderman.

One of the greatest aspects of Raimi's Spidey is his sheer selflessness. Throughout the movie Peter was basically a human punching bag. The guy gets battered physically and emotionally. He literally can't catch a break at all, and it's all more or less attributed to him being Spiderman: - He loses his delivery job due to rescuing a couple kids. - His relationships with Harry and MJ are distant and tenuous because of his secret. - His grades are abysmal. - He lives in a substandard apartment with a landlord constantly hounding him about rent. - His other job at the Bugle isn't really any better either. - Because of Jameson, the city despises Spiderman. - Due to his duties he misses MJ's play and worsens their already strained friendship resulting in her getting engaged to spite him. - Harry, hurt and frustrated with Peter slaps and humiliates him in front of a crowd. - Aunt May loses possession of her home. All the while Peter feels constantly trapped and torn between desiring his own life vs fulfilling Uncle Ben's adage of using his powers responsibly and helping people. It's way too much stress for ANY person, let alone a 19-20 year old single guy living in New York. On top of all that, because of his secret he's more or less forced to work through everything on his own which is pretty damn impressive. Being Spiderman is never a luxury but a burden which evidently extracts a massive toll on him. However, despite all the hardships and baggage, Peter hardly ever complained, trudging forward and sucking it up while remaining humble and true to himself because he understands what truly is important. When you really look at it, Peter's life is actually pretty dismal and is not for the faint of heart. Yet, at the end of the day he acknowledges everything and realizes that the moment he got his powers his life no longer belonged to him. It's his curse but everyone else's gift. And it was finally at the end of Spiderman 2 that he ultimately accepted this when he refused to get Mary Jane involved in his life because he knew that the path he chose in life had no place for her, thus letting her go. Spiderman 2 isn't simply an excellent superhero film but a great movie in general, demonstrating life lessons and teaching the audience that life's never fair and can be very horrible, however, there are good things in life which makes it worthwhile, allowing you to pick yourself up, shake it off and continue forward. This is what Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire's Spidey encompassed perfectly and why this iteration, in my opinion, is superior to Andrew Garfield and Tom holland's variation of the character.

Seeing all three spiderman fighting in nwh is not even close to this scene

Even though they promised to not tell anybody fortunately they don't even know who he is still.

2004: "We won't tell nobody. :) " 2017: Takes a Selfie, posts on Social Media. Makes a meme about it.

" ya, i got a few " Stares at him up n down 😂😂😂😂😂

“It’s good to have you back Spider-Man .” That hits different now more than ever.

Such an awesome scene. Him screaming shows that he was pushing his limits. Shows he’s not invincible but strong af.

I swear when the people caught him, pulled him into the train, returned his mask, and even promised not to tell anyone about his secret identity, really very nearly brought me to heartwarming tears. Such a beautiful moment in any superhero film.

Probably my favorite moment in superhero cinema. This is Spider-Man boiled down to its bare essentials. You could show this clip to anyone and they would understand the kind of story Spider-Man is.

Such a beautiful scene. Something I love is how ordinary and human the citizens on the train are. They aren’t all Hollywood looking 10/10 actors they look like just random New Yorkers.

People make fun of Maguire’s face when stopping the train, but to me its super realistic. Even though he has super strength, imagine trying to stop a train going full speed ahead.

2:54 I guarantee that dad went home that day and gave his son a beating. “Spider-Man can save a train full of people and you can’t even find a job”

Even after Endgame, Noway Home, and every other super hero movie, this is still my favorite scene of all.
