Spider-Man ( 2002 ) I SAW THIS ONCE WHEN I WAS YOUNG | Reaction & Commentary | MARVEL FILMS 

This is my favourite portrayal of how his "spider-sense" would work in real life, he's just hyper-aware of everything going on around him.

Not only that Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man is still to this day one of the most legendary and popular versions of Spider-Man ever made but also the one to bring Spider-Man to the big screens for many years to come.

The way Peter talks to MJ is the exact way I used to talk...I had & still have NO GAME😂

Boy, she's gonna hate the second one 😂

26:33 Stef mocking MJ taking off Spidey's mask had me dead 💀💀💀

As for Aunt May and Uncle Ben, they were always portrayed as an elderly couple since Spidey’s first appearance in 1962. Versions of May and Ben after the Raimi trilogy were portrayed as 50-year olds as the filmmakers drew inspiration from the Ultimate Spider-Man comics from the 2000s where Peter’s aunt and uncle were slightly younger.

Goblin is such a special villain, even by todays standards. It is super rare for a hero to physically meet-let alone fight- a villain until the very end of the story, especially when it’s an origin story for both. Goblin and Spider-Man have five separate yet equally important confrontations starting as soon as they put on the masks: -Their initial fight during the parade -The rooftop scene where Goblin makes his offer -The fire house where Spider-Man rejects him -The bridge where Goblin targets civilians -and it all culminates in their final confrontation in the graveyard/construction site You don’t see that level of consistency in any other film, to have the villain’s story match the hero’s story almost step-for-step. That’s one of the many things that sets Goblin above the rest.

You just know that Stef is going to be a keeper for someone. Her calling MJ out for her shady behaviour.

I love how annoyed Steph is by MJ.

"how many guys she like?" HAHAHAHAHAHA exactly

I never geek over youtubers like this but you have my favorite smile of all time, and something about your energy is so innocent 😭

It's worth mentioning Mary Jane is made to be an imperfect character - she's young and irrational at times, which is definitely off-putting for some, but I quite like it because it makes her interesting with a lot of room for growth. Currently she's from a broken, abusive home, working a job she hates, desperate for someone to validate her for who she is, and peter gives her that here. In this movie she's bouncing from guy to guy confessing her love because she's looking for her saviour, or just anyone who pays her positive attention, without knowing what love really is. Also I think the peter/harry dynamic being set up is super interesting, as on the one hand peter is all harry has left (his mom is gone, his dad saw him as a disappointment, all the while treating peter like the proper son he never got), and now peter is holding in this massive secret. So much room for tension.

Spider-Man 2 is the greatest Spider-Man movie of all time

Norman was right about Mary Jane do was you have to and broom it fast hahaha😂

One of the few nitpicks is the cop that’s like ‘Citizen how come you didn’t stop the assailant with gun’

I’m not sure if anyone else here mentioned that the part with the New Yorkers trying to help Spider-Man by throwing things at the Green Goblin was added very late in production (the bulk of the movie filmed before 9/11) as a sort of homage to NYC and its people.

the greatest line of Spider-Man history with great power comes , great responsibility

So little insight into Peter Parker with information from the Spider-Man (2002) Novelization. Peter Parker was born on August 1983 to Richard and May Parker. Peter lived in Wisconsin until his parents were killed in a plane crash when Peter was only 4 years old. Peter is delivered to the home of Ben and May Parker in New York City. People even brings out some Captain America comments but it's never stated if Captain America was a real person in this universe or just a comic book character like Superman for example. In Early to Mid 1990s Mary Jane moves in next door with her family. Peter now six years old forms a massive crush on Mary Jane. From 1996 to early 2002 Colombia university begins it's genetic research looking into interspecies genetics transmutations. They spend 5 years genetically enhancing spiders, basically incorporating the genetic does from differant species of spiders and placing them all into a single "super" spider with 15 in total. During these years Harry ends up at Midtown High where he strikes up a friendship with Peter Parker both around the age of 13. Few years later an 18 year old peter goes on a field trip to Columbia university on April 10th 2002. This takes us to the opening of the film where we see Peter being bitten by one of these super spiders giving him his abilities. Something I find really interesting is in the comics and other takes on the character Peter was bitten at 15 so they made him slightly older in the film. Makes since with how we go from Peter being bitten to graduating from High School. In the comics a 15 year old Peter has to manage his high school life alongside his job at the Daily Bugle and being Spider-Man. The film is the same as well but the High School aspect isn't a big focus after graduating.

This movie is very nostalgic for me. I remember seeing it for the first time at the movies when I was 15 and becoming obsessed with it for a while. I loved it so much I watched it over and over again.😂

The robber shot Uncle Ben because he wanted his car. When Peter asks the officer what happened, the officer says it was a carjacking and presumably Uncle Ben resisted. As for Mary Jane liking three men at once, I have to cut her some slack. She’s 17 years old and just trying to figure things out like a lot of teenagers.

@3:58 - the accent on "labotary"... adorable!

Ive only watched this a few times when this came out and I was like 4 or 5 and watching it again, I realize how well Mary Jane character is made, being a teenage girl working a lot, not knowing what she wants, shes just trying to find some light in her darkness. But I was thinking the same things cuz I was taken aback like, “I had no idea MJ was a heartbreaker” lolll I was just as surprised as you 😂

You got to watch is 90s Blade its go good. I went to see this movie when it came out on my birthday

Great job reacting to this masterpiece, I was totally waiting for you to do this one :))

Here's some fun facts you should know about Spider-Man going forward. Spider-Man is one of the physically strongest marvel character but in nearly every appearance of the character he always back. Only in a few instances have have they shown his true strength. Spider-Man skin is as durable as police Kevlar which is how he was able to take a pumpkin bomb AKA a grenade to the face and walk away with a few scratches. He has fast regeneration ability which gives him the ability to heal from near fatal wound within a day or two. Spider-Man also have super speed but not in the traditional sense of speed. Spidey speed is tied to his reflexes and his spider Sense which versions on precognition. Peter's also highly intelligent.

Damn that intro beat was HARD ASF!!!!!

Fun fact apparently the wrestling scene went wrong and when Macho Man landed on his head it wasn't an act he got seriously injured. Anyways loving the reactions

I’m so happy your reacting this Amazing Movie! Hopefully you do the other 2!

Always so nice to see you and it feels like ages between videos. I think the original is still one of my favorites although there have been a few Spider-Man movies now since then. Thank you🌹

I hope you've got a really good guide to get you through this amazing MCU journey you're going on! It's gonna be so much fun!

10:00 Peter's guardians were always portrayed as the aunt and uncle of one of his parents, so technically... they would be considered his great aunt and great uncle. That, or 50 is the new 35 in both his modern aunt and uncle's cases, lol. 😄

Nice reaction spider-man is my favorite superhero ever

My favorite movie love the video Stef stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way

You're 100% right! The way Mary Jane used Harry while flirting with Peter, then kissed Spiderman and STILL didn't end things with Harry. Nah. She ain't it

a variant of stef reacted to spider-man 4.

This is why we all love Gwen

One of the best trilogies. Better than the Disney Spider-Man flicks

they actually did the cafeteria scene like 100 times within improv to get it 100% right it's crazy

This image alone at 24:40 is one of the most ridiculously hilarious things i have ever seen. The way spidey is slumped down and goblin just casually chilling in that pose lmao! It looks like a album cover for a marvel style rap artist

Stef: Y'all ever see Nacho Libre? Me: This is Macho Man.

The musical score is next level in this movie and awesome reaction.

Awesome reaction of my favorite Spider-Man movie!!!!😊😊😊😊

The spider that bit him was a real spider. The closeup cgi looked so bad they just used a real one for the closeup. probably a prop hand or cgi hand tho. but yeah they knocked it out and put it in a little harness to paint it blue and red, its normally just brown. It was also a trained actor and could act on cue like point A, B, C. also, when he swung in to the billboard, it was a windshield...he was a bug on a windshield

Hi Stef ❤I enjoyed the reaction✨Have a Nice Day🎼

The wrestler announcer is Bruce campbell who most would know him from Sam raimis film the evil dead as Ash and the Wrestler is the late and Legendary WWE wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage RIP to the Goat

sam Raimi’s Spider-Man is still to this day one of the most legendary the popular versions of Spider-Man ever made but also the one to bring Spider-Man to the big screen

6:08 - "I did not know that was in there"...🤔 Apparently, neither did Peter!😆

Sam Raimi is a genius. This trilogy is a masterpiece. Also that last fight vs green goblin is so raw and brutal, love it.

Calling out MJ is gonna win you a lot of fans because that's how a looooot of dating culture is today You a real one haha

this lady got me smiling ngl

Hey Stef! Shout out from your favorite Marine! Loving your main pic on youtube! RAWR! Kekek Loved your reaction to this like always! Your gonna love the newer Spider Man's more I think! Can't wait to watch more reactions w/ ya! Keep up the fun times! ❤🤍💙💛

I love rewatching these movies & Danny Elfman is the goat of these awesome soundtracks ! MJ is written so damn weird in these films tho lol Gwen from the Andrew movies I like best as a love interest for Peter. Spider-Man’s had the most girlfriends in Marvel comics

Best Spider-man 👍

Man, I wish i can watch this again for the first time

bruce campbell in this series was mysterio along.

i love this 🥰

I love Spider-Man

Most guys will be able to relate to the cafeteria scene when Pete's web stuff just starts spurting everywhere out of his control and he has no idea what's going on. Girls, ask your boyfriends.

The next one is the best of the bunch. Probably one of the best comic book movies of all time.

9:50 yes Peter’s aunt and uncle are that old in the comics too

35:20 … *OH* 😂🤣😭

First of all you’re beautiful 🤩 smile and everything then you’re watching my favorite hero 🔥🕸️🕷️

Your facial expressions are adorable

The burning building and baby stuck inside scene is very intense, but i have to ask . . . did mom leave the baby alone in the apartment? or is there a dead nanny in the burning buliding?

If this girl couldent get more perfect. She seems super loyal by the way she spoke about mjs behavior.

20:53 that part was in my nightmares 😳

Mj for the streets in this one😂

Someone's probably mentioned it already but Uncle Ben was shot because he refused to give his car up to the carjacker, because that's the kind of guy he is - also if someone's pointing a gun at you, you should absolutely give them what they want, unless what they want is to take you somewhere else.

My fav spiderman is Tobey and always will be

to answer you question about uncle ben and aunt mays age in the comics, yes, they are as old as they are in tobeys movies but, you're going to see them get younger and younger in andrew and toms movies which i hate because its less accurate.

29:40 Damn he basically told his son to hit it and quit it. Savage!

I love how Stef low key agreed with Norman @29:40 😂

You are absolutely correct about Mary Jane and how she acts and treats the "guys" in her life!

'I gavemu opinion out a lot while I was watching this film.' (She should do a ... reaction.)

The way you said “Nacho Libre” I can tell you’re hispanic 😎

I love Spider-Man!

You should check out Blade's trilogy. Delight from the movies - I guarantee 😊

The thing about MJ... She did jump from Flash to Harry to Spiderman to Peter... but it is not like time didn't pass from one to the next. It just seems sudden in "movie time". Her high school sweetheart, Flash, was just that... high school. Harry was just there during her transition to "adult life", she never felt that strongly about him and he for her (made worse by dad not approving of her). Spiderman saved her and she became infatuated, a "rescuer romance". But her ordeal at the bridge made her realize that Peter was the one always there for her. But he put his "great responsibility" over his feelings to "save" her. In the comics this went on for DECADES... So I guess for me the movies' condensed time line was not so jarring like you see it.

Mary-Jane has an abusive dad and dates guys like Flash... her ability to form and keep relationships is a little bit wounded.

It's a true story

For me this is my favorite Spiderman Trilogy (Story /Action/Music) . The Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy is my favorite (Story/Action/Music) ! There's to many CGI in the new ones !

more reactions to marvel movies please😭

Is bizarre that they've made a Spider-man franchise three times with three different actors and all of them have been good. Do you know how improbable that is?

We want bully maguire 😂😂

I was 9 years old when this movie came out and it made me cry. Absolute embarrassing now lol.

Finally! Some Marvel content on your channel! 😁Hope you watch more? 🤔

34:52 😆

Hope you check out Beetlejuice. Believe me, that movie is nuts in a good way! You've got Danny Elfman doing the musical score, you have actors like Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, and Alec Baldwin in it, and the director of "Batman" and "Batman Returns", Tim Burton. What a combination, am I right? Definitely recommend it! Also, hope you watch the MCU in release order after you watch the Maguire and Garfield Spider-Man films. And most definitely check out "Into..." and "Across the Spider-Verse" when you can.

19:27 Angry dad harry

My Favorite movie ❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

Gosh I'm a huge fan of yours, please react to some of other MCU films.

It’s a totally different vibe but can you react to “Highlander” 1986? It’s awesome!

Garfield is Andrew's last name.

Note to self: Dont save Stef's life; it wont trick her into loving you.

The guy they say shot Uncle Ben in this took Uncle Ben's car after robbing the wrestling match

Next Reaction film Troy (2004) Spartan vs Troy 👍👍

The GOAT himself Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man

Also gotta do the xmen movies

JJJ is an asshole but i will always respect him for not ratting Peter out to Goblin. Badass.

Change? Yep. Big change
