Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 - The Perfect Superhero Movie (Part 2)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Sam Raimi had to top Spider-Man 1 with Spider-Man 2. So I felt that I needed to top Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man - The Perfect Origin (Part 1). So I locked myself in the HiTop Films office until I completed Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 - The Perfect Superhero Movie (Part 2). Only one more Spider-Man Video Essay left and that’s Spider-Man 3. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I loved making it. This one is for Sam Raimi and for everyone who was inspired and continues to be inspired by The Raimi Trilogy.
Much love and thank you for the constant support.

You're awesome and I hate that this happened to you. I know it happens to everyone but you have great things to say and you shouldn't be censored. You are honest and brave hero!
Tobey Maguire : “Sam Raimi whooped the 1st one’s ass”
Literally the best way to explain it.
He set the bar so high with 2 that it whooped every subsequent Spidey movie's ass too. It's really hard to believe that it could possibly be topped at this point with the MCU version being a pale comparison in every measure as a character.

Spider-Man 1: Responsibility.
- Take responsibility for your mistakes.
Spider-Man 2: Choice.
- Choose to do what is right, even if it means sacrificing something for the sake of your destiny.
Spider-Man 3: Forgiveness.
- Forgive people for their mistakes. Revenge is never the answer.
This is Peter's arc through all 3 films and it is so beautiful. All 3 movies have crucial moral lessons that were imprinted on children and adults worldwide, moving them to their cores, leaving them with some sort of lesson to implant into their own lives.
Raimi didn't just make these movies for the sake of making them, like Jon Watts, he made them vessels to a greater lesson, a greater meaning, an immortal existence. These movies embody the classic Judeo-Christian values we are taught as children. That is where this trilogy excels and manages to stand out so brightly against the rest, the new movies are sterile they have no gravitas, emotion, weight, maturity, and lesson.
Whenever I think of these movies, I am moved. I tear up and think of the messages they send, the characters in the film that embody us, the humans that are impacted, the journey, and the conclusion of these stories, and the future that lies ahead for them. A big part of this is Danny Elfman and Christopher Young's music, it is so fucking beautiful and it is enhanced by Raimi's direction.
If a movie can make you cry nearly two decades later, that's not nostalgia, that's called a good movie.
The actual message of spider-man 3 is that you should in fact "dig on this"

It's the mirror scene for me. I kept thinking I'd wake up buff when I was little.
The ending for Spider-Man 2 is the best for me. As much it ends on a triumphant ending for Spider-Man, the look of Mary Jane at the end is haunting and expresses so much.
What's your interpretation ? I always felt it was meant to be a glimpse at the "MJ anxiously waits for Peter to hopefully come back alive" that becomes her routine in the comics later on. One of their major point of contention as well, but it seems like he quite never addressed that in the sequel, for some reason. Then again, there's probably lots he was planning for in the sequel that he ended up not being able to do, sadly.
@@RioFordays True. Avi screwed Raimi up. SM3 was gonna be about sandman, vulture, and MJ's life being shit now instead of Peter, still hoping that he comes back alive everytime he goes out, and Harry would be saved for another film, we would just watch him descend into insanity
It still hurts me that Raimi blames himself "failing us" with Spider-Man 3.
Me too. He didn’t fail us, he provided us with tons of meme content and one of the greatest orchestral pieces ever used in a movie (the Black Suit theme).
Agreed, it was the studio and Avi Arad that ruined Sam's vision.
Luckly Raimi's Spiderman are certified masterpieces anyway
He never failed us. The third movie is great.
Idc I loved the third movie! He didn't fail me or anyone the third movie was still good maybe not as good as the second but still as good as the first

HiTop Sr
Sam Raimi understood more than the importance of Spider-Man. He understood the importance of Peter Parker.
sam to me overall just understands how to put story first. but perhaps thats an oversimplification on my part
For real. Often times people overlook the importance of Peter Parker himself. But he deserves as much recognition as spider man.
Yeah, like the saving a kid from the burning house or the train scene. Even when in the fire scene he saved her as Peter Parker with no power, the same goes for the train scene even though he already got his powers back he still saved them as Peter Parker. It feels like this is a movie about a good guy that happened to be a super hero rather than a super hero that happened to be a good guy
Also I hate when people makes fun of Tobey’s face in those emotional scene. I mean ugly emotion HAS to be ugly, unlike movies today where even when the scene that should’ve been emotional but it’s just not good enough because they tried to looks “cool”

This is balls on a filmmaker, this is perfectly cheesy, perfectly acted, perfectly acted, perfectly edited. Everything about this scene is flawless, every film student needs to study why this scene works.
I'll always be grateful to Sam Raimi for these life lessons he taught when i was 6, but today I thank you for reminding me them at the age of 17.
Same here, but now I'm 24. I wrote a review on Spider Man 3 years ago on a website because the theme of forgiveness and letting people heal made a major impact on me. From the very first time I saw it in theaters.

So heavy. Our natural gifts so often tend to feel like our heaviest burdens too. It’s important to remember that they come with responsibility.
Sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want most. Even our lengthy copyrighted clips that get blocked by Sony.
This movie hit me when I was five especially when he put his gear in the garbage, now that I am 22 years old this movie still hits me because of what I am currently going through and I constantly go back to this movie to find solace in the problems I am currently going through.
I hope You are doing good..
„Tom Holland is the best Spider-Man“
HiTop Films: That‘s a cute opinion, did Kevin Feige give it you?
Why are you insulting Feige? The man takes D-list heroes and makes them household names yearly.
Chai Holy shit, I‘d never even think about insulting Kevin Feige. This man deserves my respect. However, I do think that many people just accept everything the MCU does with Spider-Man. Also, don‘t take it too seriously.
八月August Thanks :)
Red Hood finally someone gets that the mcu isn’t “God” however I will say this the mcu is not responsible for Spider man a lot of people don’t know that Sony is in control it’s them not keg if Kevin had his way he would have as stated by himself “had a older Parker” yup Sony screwed us again
GamerThief XP The MCU is good, but I honestly think that most (not every) Phase 3 movies are kinda bland, unoriginal, and feel kinda the same. I‘m one of those people who prefer Phase 1 over Phase 3. and yeah I know about the Sony deal. Sony has to screw up Spider-Man once again.
I feel like people were so excited for spider-man to join the MCU that they forgot how good the original trilogy was and what spider-man is supposed to be.

@@emanuelmaldoileacont8253 exactly, our point
There was a point in life where I was in my worst shape. Epileptic (since 10), had a severe case of anxiety, girl troubles, struggling in college, couldn't get a job, worried too much about not being able to help people as often as I used to (volunteering is a passion of mine), barely see my friends who are all so busy or moving away, and 20 years old losing track of myself and what I wanted in life.
One day I sat down and watched this movie after so many years. I was shocked at how relatable this movie is, how entertaining, and how much simplicity it holds to bring out character (only other favorite film with that much is Rocky 2). My stress was mostly gone, I had motivation, I hugged my family, and took time to relax to establish myself so I can be something.
As of currently I have a job, epilepsy is stable, see some of my friends often, most of my stress is gone, I volunteer at a hospital every Friday, and I'm looking forward to going to college to improve on my good finish (I'm living my life for me and helping people, but if romance comes along the way I'd gladly embrace it). I'm beyond happy Spider-Man 2 is a role for helping me with all of this so I can gain a sense of self-awareness and peace. If you haven't seen this movie yet, please pick it up (same with Rocky and Rocky 2).
Jorge G. Figueroa I wish you all the best, sir.
Whenever you’re at your lowest point, just remember what Aunt May once said: “ I believe there’s a hero in all of us…that keeps us honest…gives us strength…makes us noble…and finally allows us to die with pride-“
Always a motivation boost for me whenever I’m feeling glum. There’s a hero inside all of us, preach it.
I can relate. I'm 20 and I'm still trying to figure out what to do. I hope everything stays well with you.
Simply inspiring my friend I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a great life :)

Some quotes from different movies for the Spider Man Trilogy:
Spider Man 1 - With great power comes great responsibility
Spider Man 2 - Life isn't about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward
Spider Man 3 - You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
I think the one for Spider-Man 2 is - “I believe there’s a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest,gives us strength,make us noble and finally allow us to die with pride even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the things we want the most, even our dreams”
That last quote is from the dark knight

I came back to this after the No Way Home trailer to remind me of how important Octavius’s story is. I pray to God that they don’t fuck this up
True I am really nervous how they will handle the story I really hope that they are not bringing back the old casts as fanservice. The last two mcu spiderman movies was an "okay" for me but this new one oh boy....I'm both excited and worried so I hope I really really hope.
From what I hear the arms are in control. If anything we'll probably get a moment of Octavius getting back in the driver's seat and helping all 3 Spider-Men and anything less would spit in the face of this amazing film
I don’t think they will. Based off of the trailer, it seems like he becomes a good guy after only a little while. Maybe the arms took over for a minute, but he eventually gained control, but idk. Also, I don’t know if you noticed, but he gets zapped off of a building by Electro at one point, so that makes it seem like he will be helping. On top of that, it really seems like he’s helping them since he is informing them of things about the villains and not talking to him like he’s trying to kill him (besides when they are fighting of course.)
Watched No Way Home days ago, they did everything we wanted and more. Characters emotions exist, not just fan service.

I was watching the film just and I was thinking the exact same thing
I will not die a monster makes me think about that quote from dark knight "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain". Otto realized he became the villain and ended it.
"In their final moments, people show you who they really are."
Otto experienced both
I remember seeing Spider-Man 1 in theaters opening weekend. My family and I had to sit separately because it was so packed. Ppl stood up in the back w/o seats and watched the whole movie. Leaves a mark 🤙🏽
i remember having the exact same experience with Spiderman 2 as a kid.
This movie debunks the whole "Tobey was a good Peter but not as good spiderman"
This movie is considered the best spiderman movie. A movie that sacrificed half of its runtime to demonstrate Peter's life and thoughts about how his powers screw up his life and that in itself is enough.
@Cyberdemon Mike and taht still pisses me off because even Tobey's Spidey's jokes are funnier and on point than MCU's 'in-your-face'-jokes
I don’t know if I ever watched a Spider-Man series or video game or read a comic of Spider-Man and haven’t laughed uncontrollably at a dumb joke of Pete’s... not consistently maybe one episodes from the 90s series one joke in web of shadows etc.... it’s not a staple of the MCU it’s a Spider-Man staple lol tobey version wanted to be mature and that’s just not really Spider-Man tbh lol it’s his best attribute to me....that and upholding a duty to the public
He is a good spider-man because he is a grounded one. Conscious of the weight of his actions and how his duty is affecting his personal life. While it's true that a younger spider-man uses jokes to rile up his opponents and looks more care free, when you find any piece with an older spidey you will see his maturity bleeds into the costume.
One piece I find iconic is when the Fantastic Four are looking for him and after reading the message human-torch writes in the sky, says to himself. "Sorry pal, spidey will not come to play" while walking with a box full of old stuff.
The problem with him is that he is known as a low tier super-hero. Not in the fact that he is weak, not even close. But the fact that he is a hero far closer with the people of his city, taking out the trash of his neigborhood, just like Dare Devil in hell's kitchen. Can you imagine Iron-man or the Hulk roaming the streets and stopping mugglers?
His job is important because he keeps the streets clean.

Bruh moments.
I grew up on these movies, yet Spider-Man 2 specifically has always stood out to me. now I know why.
The look on Mary Jane’s face when she realizes Peter was Spider-Man the whole time always makes me tear up. That’s one of the most epic moments in any movie for me
Stanley made a superhero who is a kid, and a hero who has normal people's personal problems. That's rare and unusual compare to all the superhero, superhero makers made.
This is what Stanley really wants for his creation and Raimi showcased spider-man wonderfully.

What?
@@DanielValentin0508 theres been 3 sequels to different individual spiderman films
This perfectly captures the essence of why good writing, and storytelling is so important for filmmakers. I'm able to relate to Peter's troubles as a HUMAN BEING in the Raimi trilogy. The new MCU Spider-Man films fail to do this. Peter isn't pushed to the edge as both Spider-Man, and Peter Parker. Nor is he relatable now. Sam Raimi stayed true to what made Peter Parker/Spider-Man our favorite superhero.
Right? I think the MCU films are great, and the newer Spidey film is better than the first, but it lacks in that human element that makes me feel for Peter like this one.
I can’t stop watching this video, it explains in such a perfect way why Spider-Man 2 is and will always be a masterpiece, congrats man, good job.
One thing I love about this movie is how alive New York feels. It almost feels like it’s own character and I think a lot of that has to do with the practical effects. I actually feel like I’m in Manhattan or Queens. It captures the aesthetic of the city so well. I think back to Spider-Man: Far From Home and how, instead of filming on-location in Venice, they used a green screen for scenes that don’t even require action like when they’re just walking along the canals. The city, in this movie, lives, breathes, and has all the little nuances that you almost never see in comic book films. You’ve got places like the train, the local pizza shop, the coffee shop on the corner, the shitty Manhattan apartment… people like Mr. Aziz, Mr. Ditkovich, the snarky banker, the FDNY, the lady playing the string instrument (lol)… I could go on (all the different and unique people on the train). There are hardly any wooden backgrounds or extras. And every background character is unique and diverse - just like the actual city. The film captures that unique New Yorker identity so well and the trilogy continually shows what it means to be a New Yorker. I love that moment of unity on the train where the passengers come together. Raimi really knew the pulse of the city and it shows. And honestly, it’s refreshing to see a story that understands and focuses on a single place and group of people rather than the globalist, “we have to save the world/universe” story arcs that the Avengers films have become about for the most part. It’s like this film is a finely stroked, detailed painting. There’s a special depth and human texture to this film in particular that I sorely miss in films today.
Also, this has to be the best Spider-Man 2 analysis on RUclips. Well done sir!
Spider-Man 2 is the result of a studio NOT INTERFERING with a directors vision
can't believe this video is already a year old

Still can’t believe some people thought FAR FROM HOME was better than this.
Edit- Far From Home is still good tho. I just revisited it and it was better then remembered.
bruh fr? far from home is a good movie but spiderman 2 was a GREAT movie I remember watching it every day because spiderman is my favorite superhero.
I agree but I still can’t believe it
Far from home is a great movie but this is better, wayy better!!
I know right??? It's sickening. And it sucks that the mcu caters more towards those clowns than they do towards actual spiderman fans
@@dalonmoore3733 respect others
Now I got to go watch Spider-Man 2
I ain’t complaining!
You haven't. Then what have you been doing your whole life
Just rewatched Spider-Man 2 without realizing it was Spider-Man 2.1
Your absolutely correct... Raimi's Spider-Man 2 is still the best super hero movie
Sorry tom holland we can never be together because this will always be the best spider-man movie
Hey.miklas it’s the directors fault
Tom Holland *Imo* is the best adaption of the character - BUT - my boi Toby got the best movies and Toby’s my favourite.. You just CAN NOT have filler movies in a trilogy - but that’s what FFH was
This man confused spiderman 2 with spiderverse thats crazy
Hey.miklas probably best live action but into the spider verse is the true best spider movie

Spider-Man 2 is not just a fan favorite superhero movie, It's a movie that is a significant part of our life with real life struggles that Peter face like we do.
This film is a perfect example of a successful Sequel that defeats its original counterpart with a compelling story from the vision that Sam Rami pictured in his head. With complex characters but also including iconic action sequences that gets in the edge of your seat as you see it. Spider-Man 2 is definitely one of the best superhero films of all time.
Dude, this has always been my favorite Spider-Man movie, by far, but this video actually managed to give me a new level of appreciation for the film. Great work, man. :)
Spider-Man 3 is gonna be an interesting one to cover. After we heard him talk about his favorite movie in an essay that I immediately liked, what does he think of Spider-Man 3 (or the laughing stock of the trilogy).
I think sandman had potential to be a better villian than doc oc but with venom and harry shoe horned in it was to little development of his bactstory plus the retcon of the murderer of ben was a bad move.
Still better than homecoming lmao

This was fantastic. I didn't know half the things that Raimi did or did with these films but seeing it through your eyes is really moving. Good luck with your career. I hope you get the same chance to show the world what you're capable of.
Reason Why I love This Movie
*PIZZA TIME*
Wrong reason
Wrong. You are so very wrong.
Oh boy yeah
Saving the Train scene? Fighting on the Train scene? Fighting on clock building scene?
When people can't comprehend what a joke is.
I don't care what anyone says. Spider-Man 2 is and always will be the best Spider-Man movie and best superhero movie of all time.
Truth
Agree...
Guys and kids that haven't seen The Dark Knight hahahahaha
@@messicampeon1016 I have seen The Dark Knight. Good movie, but not the best in my opinion.
@@messicampeon1016 I've seen and love The Dark Knight. My second favorite comic book film
Holly shit, man. You made me cry at the ending. Thank you very much for this video. You put my love for this film into words like i never could. I feel like i have to pay for this.
My old DS is filled with sound clips of me re enacting scenes and lines from this film. One of my favorites is me going "Shame on You! And then screaming as loud as I could for fifteen seconds
Lol
Dang, this just makes me want to watch Spider-Man 2 again. Great job.
"Funniest montage in a superhero movie"
Spider-Man 3: Am I a joke to you?
Spider-man 2: yes you are
This makes me feel nervous for No Way Home. It feels like the stories and character arcs of all these characters could be tarnished by the shitty writing and directing that we've come to expect from MCU Spidey movies.
The plot seems interesting, and Alfred Molina is coming back, so I hope not
Yea I'd rather have no Toby return than ruining his character by these wack ass mcu Spidey directors
@@samuelbgthjfdr1814 I'm saying
@@samuelbgthjfdr1814 THIS ! and as one of the many that believe tobey will be in no way home I’m scared they would just mess everything up about his character and doc ocks sacrifice as well.

I can watch you praise Spider-Man 2 all day. This is cinema at its finest!
When I became a Marvel fan (since Spider-Man: Homecoming) I've obviously watched Spider-Man before, but I didn't think much of it. I began digging into the Marvel world and everybody praised Spider-Man 2 as the best Spider-Man film ever. I rewatched it, but I thought it was overrated. A year or so later, I learned so much more about Marvel and Spider-Man and I decided to rewatch Spider-Man 2 again. I loved it so much, but I still considered Tom Holland the best Spider-Man 2. Now another year or so later, I'm beginning to be a Tobey fanboy and I feel like Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies don't feel like a true Spider-Man movie.
I enjoy Tom Holland's version but he doesn't fully live up to what Spiderman man is well that's my opinion
@@2silver144 exactly
Welcome to the real world brother.
I thinh those who are hardcore mcu spider-man fan will be like you
For me it can be summarized this way: MCUs Spider-Man is a good superhero movie but not a good Spider-Man movie. The essence of the character kinda got lost, whereas in Raimi's is in full display!
@@grmgt factsssss
Oh please, the surgical room scene was one of the most iconic memorable moments from the movie. It’s FULL-ON raimi and we love it.
I legit pissed myself when one of the attending nurses was getting dragged across the floor, I love the film so much.
Absolutely !!
easily top three most memorable scenes in the film let alone in the whole trilogy
Man I wish we could physically talk about Spider-Man! It’s odd how two people who come from completely different circumstances appreciate and understand Spider-Man, and what makes him “amazing”. But that just goes to say how great Spider-Man is as a character. And how great Sam Raimi is at conveying that. He gets it. He connects so well with fans because he is a fan. You can tell how much he cares about he character and the “mythology” When I say I understand you, I genuinely understand you. I was 6 at the time of Spider-Man 2s release and some how I feel that someone else truly gets it. Spider-Man has, dare I say it... influenced my life. He inspires me. And it’s nice to know that someone else is something of a scientist themself. Cheers on a great video!
Oddly enough, my nearest “city” is where Sam raimi filmed the first evil dead movie
Spider-Man has influenced my life as well! I was 8 when this film released, and watched it in theaters. I've watched the whole trilogy more times than I can count, and to this day they are some of my favorite films and one of the most impactful stories on the person I have become!
I know you get this type of message every day but you've seriously inspired me to take that leap of faith and get back into video making. You're one of my favorite RUclipsrs and I couldn't be any happier. Thank you for putting so much hard work into these videos!
After all the crap that Peter take during all the film, the money problems, family problems, relationship problems, college problems and super-hero problems, the girl of his dreams that was always stands in his doorway said to him: "Isn't it about time somebody saved your life?" Oh man, that moment always make me fall in tears, just like Peter looking at that redhaired angel in front of him, almost non believing that moment is real.
One of the greatest reviews of all time.
This is one of the few sequels that beats the sequel like the dark knight
As a child my favorite film of all time was actually Spider-Man 3...
Same. When I was a kid I thought spiderman 2 was long and boring and the third one delivered on all the thrills and flashiness I wanted as a 10 year old
Same
Ayush Bajaj Never be ashamed of who you are! In all seriousness, SM3 is pretty good. I still love it
I don't understand what happened. I loved the films when I was a kid and then kind of grew out of it once I got older. Yet for some reason in the past year, I've grown to love the movie so much. So much to the point that this is one of my favourite movies of all time. I literally just rewatched these films twice in a row because I couldn't get enough.
You're coming to your senses.
Omg I haven't watched the greatest Spider-man movie of all time for a while. I really need to buy Far From Home.

If i ever need someone to know how much i love Spider-Man 2, and just how much it means to me, my friend, i just need to show them this amazing video. I never thought someone else could ever feel the way I do about this movie, until I saw your video. Well done. This is a masterpiece.
i couldn't have agreed more with a video like this, i'm crying my eyes out right now. thank you so much for this video, Spider Man 2 will always be a truly personal favorite for every reason listed in this. i'm feeling all empathy with you, man. have a nice day
