“…what Peter’s wants out of his life: a meaningful job, a beautiful wife…” Wow. Maybe say “…a loving relationship…” instead of reducing what he supposedly wants from a partner to her looks. Jeez…
And yes, I loved this movie too. It’s a great film. But there are certain things that drive me just a little crazy.
For instance, this and many other Spider-Man films really suffer from a constant parade of extremely unlikely coincidences. In Spider-Man 2, Peter’s best friend just happens to sponsor the research of the man who will become Peter’s new enemy. That research happens to be relevant to Peter’s own interests, so he becomes friends with Otto. His new friend also happens to use a set of revolutionarily powerful and versatile artificial arms that….etc…. Peter’s former girlfriend happens to fall for the son of his boss. Peter and Aunt May happen to be potential customers of the same bank Otto chooses to steal from, and on the same day at the same time he attacks. And Octopus happens to choose May as a hostage. And here I thought New York had millions of people. Apparently not. Spider-man 1, Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2, and Spider-Man Homecoming all suffer from multiple instances of these absurd contrivances – all of which are symptoms of abysmally lazy writing. In fact, there are so many preposterous coincidences, you could make a decent drinking game with them. And Spider-Man 3? SO many it made the whole movie laughable.
A more specific example of a problem is precisely that car-through-the-front-window scene you highlighted. Is it awesome? Hell yes. Does it make any sense? Well, wasn’t DockOck supposed to be kidnapping MJ in return for getting a supply of whatever from Harry Osborn? Is chucking a four-thousand pound sedan at a one-hundred thirty pound human really the best approach? If Peter hadn’t managed to move MJ out of the way, there is zero chance she wouldn’t have been reduced to a very nasty, very dead red smear. I seriously doubt Harry would have been okay with that. Otto’s attack, spectacular as it was, made zero sense.
I love the film, but it’s still worth pointing out its flaws.
I don’t think the question is does it hold up now? I think the real question is whether or not it held up back then? And they did back then and that’s good enough. You know man 😊🤙
Yeah it was in 2004 different times now in life it's 2022 most people think avengers is the best movie it's life every decade people will think a movie is better the the original
This Peter Parker felt more like comic Parker than the others. The struggle for him was real. Also there were a ton of iconic shots between spider and doc ock.
I've noticed maybe by others as well but why does spiderman always takes his mask off in all the spidermen movies. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a secret identity.
I'm not saying it's a bad movie, but I never understood why Sam Raimi's 2nd Spidey gets so much hype. In my opinion Raimi's first Spidey is still the best, the second was just more of the same with a stupid ending.
spider-man 2 is definitely the best spider-man movie ever made and spider-man 2 the game is the best spider-man game ever made no one can ever replace tobey maguire as peter parker/spider-man and that's not nostalgia talking it's just facts
This film, for me, is much better than 90% of the MCU films.
spider man 2 and iron man 2008 are the best marvel movies till date.
Ripped off the christopher reeve superman films

I still think Aunt May's speech to Peter revealed she knew he was Spiderman.
If only comicmovies were half as good as this nowadays
I don't care for tom Holland's Spiderman/peter. He's been very bland and unremarkable. He won me over a lil in the 3rd film tho.

This film alone has more iconic moments than the ENTIRE MCU Trilogy
This Peter Parker felt more like comic Parker than the others. The struggle for him was real. Also there were a ton of iconic shots between spider and doc ock.
I hope they do a digital remaster for the 20th and release it back into theatres.
tyes

This is for sure the best Spider-Man film. No Way Home second only to this one.
I'm not saying it's a bad movie, but I never understood why Sam Raimi's 2nd Spidey gets so much hype. In my opinion Raimi's first Spidey is still the best, the second was just more of the same with a stupid ending.
I know it's a nitpick but I just absolutely hate it when someone says fur-miliar
It’s a good movie, not just a good superhero movie
J Jonah Jameson is definitely the best thing in these spider man movies , then I watched him in Oz 🤣🤣🤣🤣
spider-man 2 is definitely the best spider-man movie ever made and spider-man 2 the game is the best spider-man game ever made no one can ever replace tobey maguire as peter parker/spider-man and that's not nostalgia talking it's just facts
Just four words: take that, Iron Man! 😄
