Spider-Man (2002) Review | Origins & Responsibility 

Happy Thanksgiving My Peeps!! Leave Me Your Thoughts On Spider Man 2002 ?!? Stay Tuned For The Rest Of The Series Reviewed!!

I love how you can feel The Evil Dead influence in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films

Tobey Maguire: "With great power comes great responsibility. It's both a blessing and a curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-Man."

13:20 it isnt out of character, at least not for comic book jjj. One time in a comic there was a flashback to right after jjj hired Peter. An employee asked why he hired Peter and thought it was weird to want a 16 year old taking photos for an official newspaper. Jonah's response was that he knew what happened to Peter's uncle, and wanted at least one thing to go right for Peter. JJJ is a good person, even if it isn't always obvious

OH MY GOSH!!! Thank you Cris! I always wanted these kinds of reviews from you. These movies mean a lot to me and hearing your thoughts makes me feel so happy. Happy Thanksgiving!!🦃

I love Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, but my favorite live action Spider-Man is Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man. I grew up watching Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man. He will for ever be the best live action Spider-Man. Willem Dafoe did an incredible job as the Green Goblin. Spider-Man does has an incredible gallery of villains, but the Green Goblin has to the be the best Spider-Man villain. I actually think Sam Raimi did a terrific job getting Willem Dafoe to be the Green Goblin. I really can’t wait to see both Tobey and Willem again. Also hope we get another rematch between them two again.

This trilogy was my introduction to the character when I was literally a baby!!! This character means so much to me!! I'm glad he does for alot of people too!

Nice to see your reviewing the Spider-Man films just like you did with the Halloween movies Cris! Can’t wait to watch the series! By the way Happy Thanksgiving!

Back then when uncle Ben told Peter (with great powers comes great responsibility) he was talking to all of us. The Peter of now just makes funny jokes and acts like everything just works out. You can tell the morals of our parents and grandparents means nothing to the next generation.

The raimi trilogy was so good. You really get to see the emotions of every single character. I wish you had more emotion and development in modern MCU films.

“You know, i guess one person really can make a difference” love ur vids chris

I love the details in this movie so much like the Thanksgiving scene for example, enemies wearing each others' colors, Peter wearing Green, Norman wearing Red & Blue, and Harry wearing all 3 colors foreshadowing his future as being conflicted between good and evil.

*Sees Cris is gonna do a Spidey movie review series* I’m really gonna enjoy this…

Tobeys spiderman is the best one for me cuz he faces irl problems and is still a hero even if the world is against him,he does it on his own,and that great responsibility part overall makes him the best spiderman tbh

Jonah even in the comics has shown to have a sweet spot for Peter. So it makes alot of Sense for him to not give him up. Raimi did his research 💪💪

I love how this comes out right as I'm watching Spider-Man 2 😭🕷️

Tobey will always be my favorite Spider-Man. I was in 6th grade when this film came out so it’s always been super nostalgic for me.

Been waiting for this series for sooo long!

This trilogy will forever be my childhood, I always come back to it and never gets old

"The one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying in spite of everything you've done for them eventually they'll hate you why bother? -Willem Dafoe 'The Legend'

I remember watching this movie for the first time when I was a little boy. I still think Spider Man 2002 is the best Spider-Man movie ever made. A lot of people don’t realize if it wasn’t for the success of the first spider movie it wouldn’t have as much impact on superheroes movies today. Spider-Man was literally the theme for my birthday parties from age 5-7 this character means everything to me🖤. Favorite superhero of all time for me

I was born in 2002 so this movie and I are siblings in my head. I grew up watching this fr, my parents told me sometimes they would just let the main menu replay over and over since it was on dvd and I’d just watch Tobey just swing across the screen😂. I have the box for it but the discs are nowhere to be found, gonna order a copy rn 💀

Duuudeee I love the first 2 spider man movies, they mean so much to me because I grew up on those movies and as soon as I saw the first one I was obsessed

Spiderman is Honestly a Freaking Masterpiece, Its My Personal Favorite out of the Trilogy, But So Happy You're Doing a Review Series for Spiderman Leading up to NWH, I was Hoping you would Do This, Can't Wait for Your Review on Spiderman 2!!!

While Maguire is the Spider-Man of my childhood, I have grown to REALLY enjoy Holland’s portrayal. This isn’t a diss at Tobey in ANY way, but they are definitely products of their times 😂

So I hold this movie in such high regards, especially now because my grandfather was exactly like this version of uncle ben, right down to the mannerisms. Now that he’s passed away, it gets to me more because it’s like I’m watching my grandfather in one of my favorite childhood movies

Also when Norman says "dispite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you" it also represents his point of veiw of how he put so much work into his company and yet they want to throw him out.

I went to watch this movie for a little bit in theaters and sadly couldn't finish it due to some health issues that I was dealing with in my childhood, but I finally finished it on VHS and it was one of my favorite superhero movies of all time. I grew up with the Fox Kids series in the 90's and seeing my favorite hero in action was a dream come true, and for years to come I'd watch every single Spider-Man film throughout my life.

Toby will always be the og. So glad I grew up with all three of the Spider-Man movie series. Even though it was a bit rough when Toby got replaced I gave Andrew a chance. And oh boy I was glad. Toms good too, but those two originals will go down in Spider-Man history. And the themes, GOD DAMN THERE ALL GOOD

I’m jealous you got to see it in theaters, this movie is one of my earliest memories ever I remember I was at my childhood home back in 02-03 after it had come out on dvd and my dad asked if I wanted to watch spider man, never heard of it, so ofc wanting to watch something with my dad I say yeah After that movie I had it all, all the action figures, the tv show, the blankets, clothes, plushies, everything. I have many memories of spider man after that point

12:59 in the comics, Peter Parker asked Jonah to not put he’s name for credit, so things like this don’t happen, I assume the same thing happened on this movie just offscreen. Great review btw!!

This movie was my childhood thank you for reviewing this my man😊

I can't believe No Way Home comes out next month😀😀😀🔴🔵🕷🕸 it's gonna break the box office👌🏽💯!!!!!

You know, everybody is always saying how good spider-man 2 is and how bad spider-man 3 is and just glosses over the first, so thanks for making this

My Dad, My Uncle and his Friend Watched this in the Theater when it First came out. Came out one Year before I was Born, and this may be a little bit Controversial, but my Number One Favorite Spider-Man Actor is Tom Holland. But I actually really love the Sam Raimi Movies.

These films were a massive part of my childhood... In 2002-4 I would've been 2-4 and I STILL remember sitting there with my raimi films figures and playsets. I was In heaven! And since then just absolutely loved the characters. That end battle has always been a fav of mine! MISERY MISERY MISERY..! 🙌 Tobey and Defoes goblin always had a special place in my heart 💙 and then the mcu came along and with it all made me the way I am today... A damn nerd! 😆 I love it! 💯 (along with star wars of course)

I literally just watched this like 30 mins ago. Personally i feel like its the film that feels the least like Spider-Man to me but i also feel its the most unintentionally funny Spider-Man film there is. Every other minute it cracks me up Edit: this doesn't mean I don't love the film i grew up with this and mainly Spider-Man 2. Its the reason why i love films and why i love the character. I love every single Spider-Man film out there just at different levels

I’m glad you’re reviewing the Spider-Man like u did with Halloween, can’t wait to watch you review them all 🔥🕸🕷

The rami trilogy will forever be my favorite since I grew up watching it

Couldn't agree more with the scene of Goblin and Spider-Man on the rooftop talking being a scene I never liked as a kid, but now really enjoy due to the dialogue and performance by Willem Dafoe

Sam Rami films and the 94 series will always have a special place in my heart for me. Literally my whole childhood and made SpiderMan become my favorite superhero

I watch this film like multiple times a year! It’s so underrated, everyone goes on about Spider-Man 2 but I feel like this is the best One of the raimi series

God I love these films (1-3) I do think they nailed the struggles of Spider-Man down the best, and I agree it is cheesy but its so charming at the same time. Oh and Ive always loved the CGI when he climbs walls and jumps.

This is the only Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie I have seen I think, and that was back when I was a kid. I especially remember when Green Goblin threw a bomb at a bunch of people, who then just got melted and turned into skeletons. No idea why I remember that the most, though it probably is because it scared the shit out of me haha

Tobey is my favourite, his Spider-Man feels like a god and his peter parker feels like a dorky nerd who struggles in life ! His villains are also the best

This is awesome and I look forward to the rest of your Spidey movie reviews, Chris. This is possibly the only superhero origin movie that I never get tired of watching. And yeah, Uncle Ben's death makes me sob like a baby too. 😭

Great video, one of my favorite movies so I love watching reactions and reviews from 2021 but this one was very unique and interesting to watch.

I remember seeing this in theaters as well! I was 13 I think and it still holds up. Plus the Green Goblin in this is fantastic. I’m so glad he’s making a comeback! His voice is so evil and perfect.

That spidey suit used in the review tho. Looks incredible. I have literal dreams of wearing a realistic spidey suit.

I was hoping for this so much, I loved it when you did it for the child’s play remake, when you did it for Halloween kills, and I guarantee I’ll love this

Im the same age as you so alot of my spiderman roots are the same as yours, and man when this came out and i saw it in theaters it was so huge to me. I remember all of my friends in 2nd grade going crazy about it, we used to make comics of the scenes and stuff haha. Good times growing up in the early 2000s. Amazing review Chris!

Looking forward to the rest of these, Cris! Great review.

For me, I didn't watch the Raimi films when they were coming out. I didn't even really start liking Spider-Man until I saw reruns of the MTV series around 2011. The next year, I watched Dark Knight Rises. I was twelve and my favorite superhero trilogy just ended. I needed something new. That's when I saw the trailer for TASM. I remembered the MTV series. I loved the new suit. It was so different, but still so familiar. I loved Emma Stone's chemistry with Andrew Garfield. The movie inspired me to start writing my own comics. And that's why my first comic I ever wrote was Batman vs Spider-Man. I know. Cringe. Anyway, going back and watching the Raimi trilogy, I do appreciate the films a lot for introducing me to Doc Ock and Goblin, two of my favorite villains in the Spidey rogues gallery. The train sequence is still one of my favorite pieces of cinema. I'm glad they were made because if not, we wouldn't have gotten TASM and I wouldn't have the love I have for Spider-Man today. They paved the way for different iterations of this amazing (pun intended) character.

Thank you so much for this review chris, assuming your gonna review all the spider man movies, do you think you will review curse and cult of chucky. Also i loved Tobey Maguire's spider man the best probably because i grew up watching spider man 3 and i also grew up with spider man and his amazing friends, and when he show's up in no way home i am gonna cry.

Spider-man 2002 was a movie I didn't see when it released, because I was born in 2003. But I still loved watching it even after it released, spider-man was and will always be my first favorite super hero. Love or hate the sequels, spider-man was my first favorite hero. No matter what, even if the third or amazing spider-man sequels were bad, nothing will make me hate spider-man.

I love the way that Cris's cringtros have become so iconic and popular that he's started to watermark them!😂😂

I love how the bridge scene represents New Yorkers helping each other, especially since this came out a couple of years after 911

I think the campyness in Spider-man 1 and 2 is just due to early 2000s. Had a little bit of that 90s feel. Spider-Man 3 toned it down and really offered some good acting and memorable fights thats aged very well. And really upped the cgi in fights and camera work.

13:36 JJ Jameson isn’t a bad person. He’s a decent guy who cares about his workers and just hates Spider-Man because of personal reasons that sometimes come from personal tragedy.

I'm watching this again on the 20 anniversary of Spider-Man 2002. I've seen it again today and the movie still holds up!

With great power comes great responsibility

I’ve been waiting for this for so long!! Thank you!! lol

I personally think that william defoe's green goblin is pretty underrated

Some people forget J. Jonah. Jameson has a son that he loves and praises. In one of the comics he hated spiderman for not saving his son

What I really like is how Tobey explains that the reason Sam Raimi had Peter have organic webs instead of making webs is because if Peter is able to create these insane devices out of cheap utensils why not create more devices to make the world a better place and be like a tony stark instead of using these devices just to fight criminals.

Lmao this is the best/funniest review I’ve ever heard. Looking forward to the rest in this series you’re doing Chris 💪🏽🦃.

I love these reviews for a big movie keep them coming and keep up the good work man I enjoy the content a lot happy thanksgiving 🦃

This is my favorite Spider-Man movie ever. I will forever hold it dear to my heart.

Oh yes I was hoping you would do this series thank you chris

9:15 don't care what people say but this joke is still funny 🤣

I'm hoping for the ending of No Way Home, all 3 Spider-Men recreate the ending scene of this movie, with the "Who am I" to all of them doing one final swing around the city together.

First comment

The prefect thanksgiving film

I think Norman was a flawed person but definitely not looking out for evil. The serum messed him up and I have the impression that it gets worst trough the film, where at first he seems unknowing of his Goblin persona, then they get the ability to talk to each other, and he gets more and more desperate and unhinged to the point where Goblin is clearly giding him. And I think there are two interpretation for the ending. 1. Norman tried to takeover, you can hear the changing voices he gives to his personas, but Goblin had so much control that he managed to call the glider and try to end Spider-man. 2. Norman got complitely taken over and it was just an act on the part of Goblin to gain sympathy.

WITH GREAT POWER,COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY

Man that ending in Spider-Man (2002) is just so iconic to me! Then foo fighters- my hero starts playing in the credits. Peek 2000’s nostalgia

I also think that the rooftop scene with green goblin directly influenced the line in dark knight "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

This my fav movie of my childhood I was 2 when this came out I had the web shooters the costume and I watched it everyday on vhs as a kid 😂😂

I’m sorry but I’m my mind the raimi Spider-Man flicks are the definitive representation of the character

The most confusing thing from this movie is I don’t know what scenes was Norman in Control and what scenes he wasn’t, I think Sam Raimi can only answer that himself

Tobey Maguire is a perfect Peter Parker. Willem Dafoe is perfectly cast as Green Goblin. And then there is JK Simmons as Jameson. OMG That tray catching scene is all practical movie magic and it's one of the best moments in any superhero movie

14:59 It also fits with some versions of Norman Osborn being a father figure to Peter before he becomes The Green Goblin. Uncle Ben's responsibility speech is basically "If you can stop bad things from happening you should" whereas the Goblin represents the darker more selfish route of "Do whatever you want with the power you have and don't bother saving people who'll just hate you for it anyway."

I was five when this came out and I have so many great memories with this film. I still remember when it came out and seeing it in theaters. I remember having the chapter book and taking the vhs tape with me everywhere. I remember waiting for Spider-Man two. I remember seeing the first poster in the theater for Spider-Man two with doc ock in the reflection of Spider-Man’s eyes. I remember being told as a kid that Spider-Man two wouldn’t be out for another two years and feeling helpless as a child having to wait for what seemed like forever. This film means so much to me I can’t even put it in words. I will forever cherish the childhood memories.

The casting in the this film was near perfect. Willem Dafoe and JK Simmons are just immaculate casting choice that I can hardly see anyone else play the role. So happy they're still a part of the new Spider-man movie.

Aunt May: *slaps Normans hand* Norman: I gave you friendship, and you spat in my face

Norman is basically a captain America gone insane. He was trying to make a Oscorp variant of the super soldier serum,( since many have tried to replicate it), and it turned him superhuman, but also insane.

I actually grew up watching Amazing Spiderman first and I liked him I watched the Rami trilogy after that and I also was a big fan of spectacular Spiderman. WHICH NEEDS A SEASON 3 and I want too say truthfully, I have never seen the ending of Spiderman 2. I think I should watch so I can connect more with doc oc in NWH

"Inspite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you... why bother..." He basically just defined what is happening in No Way Home

Love your channel and your videos! This next bit might seem like I'm nitpicking, but it drives me nuts when I hear someone say the word "casted". I heard you use the word at around the 5:33 mark and I've heard it on several other videos. I could be wrong but I don't think that is correct. I mostly hear that word from reality tv stars when they talk about how they got on their shows. They'll say something about how they were "casted". The past tense of the word cast is cast, not casted. If you were hired for a role in a movie, show, or play, you would've been cast for that role, not casted for it. Also if you were going fishing, you would cast your line into the water. You wouldn't have casted your line into the water. I know it is insignificant and most people probably wouldn't notice, but like I said above I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND VIDEOS. So I just wanted to tell you that. I'm sorry this post is so long and I truly hope you don't think I'm complaining.....casted or cast, I'll still continue to watch and like your videos and continue to forward them and suggest them to others. Happy Holiday's man!!

“You know I’m something of a reviewer myself”

YESSSSSSSSSSS Thank you Chris

I still remember watching this in the theater and I was so excited. When the opening theme started, it just gave great vibes. I loved this movie and it is still one of my favorites today.

Watching the Raimi-verse trilogy again on DVD recently just solidified my opinion that Tobey is the best Peter Parker! Hope he really appears in No Way Home!

When Marvel movies were took seriously with moments of cheese and fun. Pretty dark is places too. It has the creepiest villain in the entire trilogy.

So glad I rewatched all the older Spider-Man movies, both the Raimi trilogy and the Amazing Spiderman series, it will make No Way Home a greater experience

Finally someone acknowledges that Mary Jane is the worst character in the Raimi Trilogy. Gwen and Michelle are 10x more better and loyal to there respective spiderman.

Norman was like bitch did you just slap my hand. Btw it’s fire star not star fire. I miss the part where that’s my problem😂. Hello Peter 😂

I can’t wait to see Tom’s Spider-Man fight green goblin in his old costume and new more comic accurate costume and see William dafoe green goblin as the main villain leading the sinister six or five and to see green goblin kill someone toms Spider-Man loves and get almost beaten to death by toms Spider-Man (rumored in multiple leaks) in Spider-Man no way home

Dude this era of spider man will always have be the best, some would say very neato.

this video autoplayed, i thought this was an old video at first ngl coz i don't see people reviewing old movies much, well i'm only 44 seconds in.. i'm excited to see what this video has to offer
