2025-01-07 22:31:25 +0000 UTCSam Raimi went all in with his Evil Dead/Army of Darkness styling with this one... and I loved it.
David Lonewolf Wright
2024-12-13 05:35:51 +0000 UTCthank you for watching the theatrical versions, Nat.
Megatto
2022-02-14 22:46:36 +0000 UTCthis movie is free on crackle thats where im watching it with you
Hubba Max
2022-02-05 07:46:36 +0000 UTCYou should watch Daredevil Nextflix Show next. It is very good
Thomas Richter
2022-02-02 06:23:12 +0000 UTCI love this movie. It’s my favorite Spider-Man movie. I love the cheesiness. I think it’s perfect. Comics and the cartoons were that way. Spider-Man is my favorite super hero of all time. And the Sam Raimi/ Toby McGuire trilogy is my favorite of the Spider-Man movie but I also love all the other movies as well. I loved the reaction
Henry
2022-02-02 05:19:19 +0000 UTCLoved your reaction to this! :) As a kid I really didn't enjoy this one.. I thought it was garbo in comparison to the first. I still really enjoy the first one more but I also like this one now. :) Appreciate that you watched this! :) Looking forward to Spiderman 3! (that one I also felt was garbo but I don't see my tastes changing with that! xD) Tyler's 100% on the 3rd.
Logan Kerlee
2022-01-31 03:37:54 +0000 UTCGood catch, I added 3 seconds to my offset and the actual reaction syncs up much better now, thanks!
sammi
2022-01-29 23:52:49 +0000 UTCThink there's a clear 3-4 sec lag between the video and your reaction on this one. Seems like your reactions are delayed compared to the video que up. Just a heads up
Stefan Johannsson
2022-01-28 20:38:19 +0000 UTCI wasn't aware of there being an extended cut, so I watched that this time. Syncing was an issue, of course. I must say, you avoided the worst scene of the movie by watching the theatrical cut.
Fostena
2022-01-27 23:42:59 +0000 UTCThis was such a fun reaction to watch. ❤️❤️ especially with the back and forth between MJ and Peter’s feelings for each other.
hazemarick
2022-01-27 12:48:21 +0000 UTCthe train scene still chokes me up when I re-watch it. self-sacrifice followed by group altruism gets me every time.
Cripkie
2022-01-26 06:59:49 +0000 UTCThere was a lot of delay here and there's been some in your other videos. I hope you see this and can fix it!!
Jenny Tolls
2022-01-26 06:00:12 +0000 UTCSpider-Man 2.1 is an even better version of this film with extended/new scenes that were cut.
Kara Black
2022-01-26 05:57:01 +0000 UTCJesus christ, I forgot how many horror elements are used in this movie. I never had so many jump scares for a superhero movie before XD
LightsCameraJake
2022-01-26 04:32:31 +0000 UTCI love Emily Deschanel's "Bones" cameo. She is the girl who did not pay for the pizzas at the beginning of the movie
Javo Vargas
2022-01-26 02:45:58 +0000 UTCThe great thing about this movie is it's NOT a Spider-Man movie. It's %100 a Peter Parker movie. Spider-Man doesn't defeat Doc Ock, Peter does by appealing to his better nature. Mary Jane doesn't fall in love with Spider-Man, she falls in love with Peter. Peter doesn't become Spider-Man because he feels like he has to, like in the first film, but because he chooses to.
Greg McDaniel
2022-01-26 01:55:40 +0000 UTCThe reason that Willem Dafoe was in the movie is because he happened to run into the crew while they were filming and they gave him a cameo.
Patrick Toscano
2022-01-26 00:26:45 +0000 UTCit's also very cheesy
Sebastian Syrinx
2022-01-25 21:46:27 +0000 UTCWhy do you say everything is cheesy? Lol. This is regarded by a lot of people as one of the best superhero movies of all time. And still has the highest rotten tomatoes score of any spider man movie.
Marcell
2022-01-25 21:28:06 +0000 UTCyeah I was noticing that too.
Thomas Malley
2022-01-25 20:46:06 +0000 UTCIt just get campier and campier. It's not too bad in my opinion. I actually like it quite a bit. A BIT overstuffed, but that was studio mandated.
Thomas Malley
2022-01-25 20:44:57 +0000 UTCJ.K. Simmons is great as Omni-Man in Invincible. I wish Natalie would do a reaction to this series. One of the best (if not the best) American animated shows, although the (animated) violence and gore might be too much for some people. But Natalie said she liked the first season of The Boys, so this one shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Richard Maurer
2022-01-25 20:02:37 +0000 UTCWell, good luck with the third movie. It is universally regarded as the worst of the three. I remember holding off watching it until it got to video, and gave it a watch. I remember thinking "It really can't be as bad as everyone says, right?" And I remember thinking during the first 1/3 of it, "Yeah, this really isn't as bad as people are saying." But then it got worse. And worse. And worse. Without spoiling anything, I truly believe the movie suffered because there was a conflict of what Raimi wanted to do and what the studio wanted Raimi to do. So he tried to compromise and that just didn't work out well.
Jomero
2022-01-25 20:00:52 +0000 UTCI was watching the regular, but on google play. I noticed it wasn't too synced as well, I had to have the actual movie playing a few seconds behind Nat's. It was most obvious when she was singing along with "Raindrops keep falling on my head" and that helped me sync it up a bit better.
Jomero
2022-01-25 19:57:29 +0000 UTCdidn't sync up with my film, think i had the extended :/
Simon Bauer
2022-01-25 18:15:11 +0000 UTCMan with opinions shocked at the existence of different ones!
RE
2022-01-25 16:50:40 +0000 UTCIt were the movies that proved that comic books could be made into successful movies. Prior to that we only had X-Men as evidence. Spider-Man 2 solidified the notion, and started Fox onto their attempts with Fantastic Four, which obviously weren't exactly the box office juggernauts they had been hoping for. Finally in 2008 Marvel got it right with Ironman.
Thomas Malley
2022-01-25 16:41:29 +0000 UTCHey Nat, yes, you did see spiderman save the train being at the front of it webbing up the buildings left and right, but it was in Spiderverse. :) Also, it made me sad to hear you say, "I'm gonna default to seeing just the theatrical release." and then 2 minutes later "I've gotta have me some more JK Simmons." ... There is more JK Simmons, in the extended. ;)
Richard Ryan
2022-01-25 13:12:17 +0000 UTCWhile her treatment of John Jamison was pretty bad, the other guys she dumped, Flash and Harry, were both scumbags to her. So I'm not sure how she was a bad enough to be described as terrible.
Richard Maurer
2022-01-25 12:41:42 +0000 UTCI honestly don't think the MCU would exist without these films.
Greg McDaniel
2022-01-25 10:51:30 +0000 UTCJust call him Bruce Campbell.
Dooly
2022-01-25 07:37:31 +0000 UTCAlso yes, Robbie from the daily bugle in the comics did know peter was spiderman and even when on a few missions with him. Also, the usher is meant to be Mysterio someday which is why he said the word illusion in such a weird way. Also, the Usher was the wrestling announcer in spiderman 1. There was a lot things raimi wanted to do like starting the mcu early with spidy and punisher teaming up but the studio just refused to give in.
Lucifer Moon
2022-01-25 07:29:01 +0000 UTCSo happy you got to this one, loved your reaction. Spider-Man 2 is agreed upon to be the best of the trilogy. The next one is definitely more cheesy, also the one that probably has the most memes out of all three. Was wondering if you would’ve recognized somebody else you’ve seen in the first film that made a appearance (not Stan) although he was wearing glasses in the first so he might’ve not been easily recognized, but you’ll probably notice him in the next one. Also glad to know it wasn’t just me that thought your reactions were a bit off. Seems like there was a 2 to 3 second delay.
NFXx
2022-01-25 06:46:16 +0000 UTCWhat's funny is you can spot the punisher watching MJ at the end of this film. Raimi wanted to do a version of the MCU back then so he snuck the punisher in as a seed to try and pressure sony.
Lucifer Moon
2022-01-25 05:53:06 +0000 UTCYeah it’s definitely slower. I purposefully played nats version ahead of mine and mine caught up and overlapped her version.
Jakob
2022-01-25 05:21:38 +0000 UTCI've never gotten the impression that Natalie hates men. What a weird thing to fixate on. This is entirely too much rage over a stranger's thoughts on a movie made when they were a child.
RE
2022-01-25 05:05:36 +0000 UTCIs it just me or is this impossible to sync up properly? nats version seems slower than every other version I tried.
Jakob
2022-01-25 05:00:42 +0000 UTCGod this reaction was ridiculous. Creative decisions in older movies ≠ cheesy. Someone taught you the definition wrong. And right, everything that happens to Peter is his fault. In a lot of your reactions you always find a way place blame on men. Someone must've broken you to make you hate men so much. Peter literally is a fucking superhero and does what's right, and when bad shit happens to him, it's his fault? Wrong. It's life's fault. He deserves so much more but he constantly gets shit for being a good person. That should warrant sympathy, not the blame game. My god. Someone raised you wrong.
Lorenzo Baxter
2022-01-25 04:08:19 +0000 UTCThat really sounds like a PAL versus NTSC speed differential, not an issue between theatrical and extended cuts. In an extended cut, you can expect extra and longer scenes here and there that accumulate stepwise, not a continuous decay. Basically all European markets and Australia and some of South America will show 25 frames of film every one second, which leads to Natalie's version (locked at 24 frames per second, which is technically correct) drifting by 4% of the total runtime.
Kade (Sydney, AU)
2022-01-25 04:05:53 +0000 UTCIt's not really a cameo. She was unknown back then. She was just a new actress in a small part.
Jon Hoover
2022-01-25 03:50:25 +0000 UTCI pulled out a DVD.
Jon Hoover
2022-01-25 03:43:51 +0000 UTCI love cheese, who doesn't? And this movie is like a Gouda or a Gorgonzola.
Thomas Richter
2022-01-25 03:34:27 +0000 UTCWell, nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are very different things. Nuclear reactors in use now are all fission reactors that create power by splitting atoms, which creates radiation and nuclear waste. Nuclear fusion as portrayed in the movie would produce power by fusing atoms rather than splitting them which would produce heavier atoms, and as yet mankind hasn't managed to pull off harnessing fusion for power yet. Only in the movies, which is why the characters talk about it as being such a revolutionary discovery, because nobody's been able to crack it in the real world.
Skizane
2022-01-25 03:25:34 +0000 UTCThat was a great reaction to this movie - a very cheesy movie, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Jason Dolan
2022-01-25 03:16:54 +0000 UTCDunst's MJ is such a terrible person in these films. No fault of hers, of course.
Adrian
2022-01-25 02:53:42 +0000 UTCEngaged person Natalie Gold insists time and again that "Engaged ain't married!". /s
Keith Jacobsen
2022-01-25 02:39:15 +0000 UTCLike this one better than the first, but is it damning with faint praise to say Kirsten Dunst and Alfred Molina are the best things in the movie? I just can’t warm to Tobey’s Spider-Man, I truly don’t know what my problem is here. But do not regret seeing this one. I will say what I’ve heard about the next one… yeah, it’s not good. But excited to see the Garfield Spider-Man movies are coming up too! And while I love diversity in movies, I dunno, there’s something comfortable with the superhero genre. Good fun to start the week! Can’t wait until ATLA tomorrow! Still golden!
Matthew Periolat
2022-01-25 02:13:06 +0000 UTC"He humiliated me by touching me. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)" Your reaction to that line got me in stitches. It did NOT pass the "13yo kid" check :D
Axel Dietze
2022-01-25 01:34:56 +0000 UTCSomebody already covered where you know Alfred Molina from. The hospital shot with the cameras in POV of the arms is pure Sam Raimi. If you ever watched or will watch any of his work from Hercules, Xena, or the Evil Dead franchise then it's instantly recognizable. It's intentionally campy.
JayF
2022-01-25 00:56:42 +0000 UTCHad a heck of a time trying to sync up. The overlay is ahead your reaction Nat
Lucky Dragon ‘She.They’
2022-01-25 00:53:50 +0000 UTCIt is time to plug some of my favourite comedy humans. You'll see why. https://youtu.be/EvfvstDunAw
—thoughtstorms—Keith—
2022-01-25 00:47:44 +0000 UTCIt’s 100% deliberate, doesn’t make it any less bad. It’s Raimi’s thing. I hope Feige reined him in for Dr Strange MoM
Tay Schumaker
2022-01-25 00:12:19 +0000 UTCGlad you could see the cheese fest this really is. Always blows me away when people call this the best super hero movie. Rose colored glasses of nostalgia. It’s a fun movie but god is it bad and cringey
Tay Schumaker
2022-01-25 00:11:27 +0000 UTCYeah, you definitely don't need to watch the extended edition, although you can just watch the extended scenes on YouTube on your own time (there's one you'll find hilarious! I won't say anymore as this is already enough of a spoiler). There's only a few scenes that are extended, but I think it actually adds to the movie. This movie is definitely cheesy (on purpose) and I love it! When people tell me, "it's so cheesy!" I just look at them and say, "you say that like that's a bad thing!" Anyways, I always enjoy your golden reactions!
Ilsuk Yang
2022-01-24 23:49:23 +0000 UTCHi Nat and thank you for this new great and funny reaction! As always you were amazing! hahaha I loved your little anecdote about "Otto The Orange", it was totally unexpected hahaha S-M 2 is my favourite, Molina as Dr. Ock is awesome, as Dafoe in his Goblin role, I can't imagine someone else in a new live-action in those roles hahaha Of course the film has its cheesy moments and defaults but it's what it makes its charm for me hahaha I can't wait for thought about the last one (not the best but it's so "funny", I still like it 😆) I just hope you're fine, take care, be safe and stay golden! 💛
Calo Grsf
2022-01-24 23:29:42 +0000 UTCThe "ow my back" scene is kind of an in-joke. Tobey Maguire did the horse racing film "Seasbiscuit" in between this movie and the first Spider-Man. And he claimed to have hurt his back during filming and had to renegotiate filming of Spider-Man 2. Once they renegotiated, his back seemed suddenly fine. So, they poked a little fun at it.
Jomero
2022-01-24 22:51:33 +0000 UTCIt doesn't make sense she's annoyed about it. It's the hero gig. And he fooled himself into thinking he could have a normal life. He woke in and understood being Spiderman is who he is. Getting annoyed at that means you don't pay attention to the literal meaning of being a hero like Peter. He doesn't get to have the life he wants. The literal plot of the whole movie 🤷♂️
Lorenzo Baxter
2022-01-24 22:41:53 +0000 UTCLets rewatch it! 😌
Caio Momesso
2022-01-24 22:02:31 +0000 UTCDid anyone else have a hard time finding the theatrical cut on Amazon? I can only find the extended edition.
A Mighty Wyn
2022-01-24 21:59:32 +0000 UTCI think that a lot of the camp is deliberate. It's basically Sam Rami doing his 90s horror thing in a Spider-Man movie.
Robert C
2022-01-24 21:59:10 +0000 UTCYour reaction was the same as my girlfriend-at-the-time's reaction during the coffeeshop scene. "WTF Peter, make up your fucking mind! I'm annoyed with this shit!" I think that's how every women felt.
Neo Geo
2022-01-24 21:36:06 +0000 UTCMaybe only 10 min difference. But it's 5-10 seconds damn every 5 min, the worst to sync. Really hope it's gonna be the Super Duper Cut for DP2
Daniel Vezina
2022-01-24 20:58:34 +0000 UTCAnother great reaction! Wondering if anyone else thought the sync up on-screen this time around felt a little wonky – sounded like Natalie was reacting to things later than they occurred. Wasn't a big issue though :)
Victoria Y
2022-01-24 20:56:06 +0000 UTCYeah the video is about 3 seconds ahead from her reaction. Just sync to video, pause your movie, count to 3 and hit play. Seemed perfect after that.
djKENTO
2022-01-24 20:45:25 +0000 UTCOh boy Spiderman 3 is next. Where Memes never die lol definitely the weakest of the 3 but still excited to see your reaction to it and maybe it will spark your interest into watching the Venom and Venom let there be carnage movie to learn more of that character as well cause he plays somewhat of a big role as to what is coming next for our Wall Crawler after no way home.
FateMalone
2022-01-24 20:39:58 +0000 UTCThis is probably my all-time favorite superhero movie (even above the MCU ones), but the syle is deliberately over the top, it's Raimi's thing. Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy captures, more than any other comic book movies, the style of a comic book from the days before comics started being influenced by other media: Theatrical prose, stylized set pieces, and yes, cheesy sight gags. Almost like a play taking place in the real world rather than a stage. It IS cheesy, specially when compared to its modern descendants. But it's by no means bad because of it.
RE
2022-01-24 20:36:46 +0000 UTCa tidbit of trivia: JK Simmons' assistent is played by Ted Raimi, Sam's brother. Similar to James Gunn and his brother Sean Gunn. Even tho it is literally nepotism, they do play the goofy sidekick character pretty well.
Wu Sha Ling
2022-01-24 20:32:46 +0000 UTCA film tries to do anything remotely creative - “that’s so cheesy”
Fraser
2022-01-24 20:00:56 +0000 UTCThat was such a fun watch-along! And not only because I just love the Sam Raimi Spidey movies. Thanks, Nat! Alfred Molina characterizes DocOck in such a nuanced and fun way. Definitely one of my favourite comic movie characters/villains. Actually, Molina deserves much praise for being always good in the movies he appears in. On a sidenote, and absolutely not in the context of comic superheros: I can highly recommend watching Julie Taymor's biopic "Frida" about the life of Frida Kahlo in which Salma Hayek and Alfred Molina both shine as actors.
Laro
2022-01-24 20:00:26 +0000 UTCCan't really torment Bruce Campbell in the Spider-Man movies, so... 😅
Opti_Frog
2022-01-24 19:44:11 +0000 UTCThe camerawork in the hospital, when Doc Ock's mechanical arms massacre the staff, is pure Evil Dead 2 😄
Opti_Frog
2022-01-24 19:38:49 +0000 UTCNatalie: This movie is so cheesy!! Literally every single one of us: Just wait. 😬
JediLounger
2022-01-24 19:29:22 +0000 UTCPeople say that JK Simmons is irreplaceable as JJJ, and they're right but holy crap Aunt May in this is amazing. Out of all the aunt may, she's my favorite.
Philippe Dessaints
2022-01-24 19:24:27 +0000 UTCDefinitely more cheesy than I remembered but still pretty enjoyable. Aunt May's speech still gets to me. That's why aunt May should be portrayed as an old woman, wiser but sweet, the delivery is completely different. Rosemary Harris really nails it. PS: Oh boy, Sam Raimi loves making woman scream out of fear, the movie is filled with them.
Bou _
2022-01-24 19:23:21 +0000 UTCthe fact that Nat loves awkward Peter so much actually makes me excited for what she's going to think about the next one lol
john collins
2022-01-24 19:20:38 +0000 UTCAfter Chernobyl I can't help but think that dropping a super heated fusion reaction into water like would instantly turn the water to steam and create a thermal explosion, wiping out the city.

2022-01-24 18:51:24 +0000 UTCFun Fact JK Simmons is the voice of the Yellow M&M you hear during commercials
Matt Culture
2022-01-24 18:49:21 +0000 UTCI think the clips sync fine, but the overlay's definitely running ahead of Nat's reaction.
RE
2022-01-24 18:49:04 +0000 UTCSimple Plan's another great one.
Inhuman Paradox
2022-01-24 18:37:55 +0000 UTCThat scene where the arms come to life and kill all the doctors. That's a very good example of Sam Raimi's style. Particularly when he does horror. All those fast cuts and cartoony angles. It's fun. Darkman is another good Sam Raimi movie. And of course the Evil Dead franchise.
Joe Blankenship
2022-01-24 18:13:42 +0000 UTCIs anyone else having an enormously hard time keeping this synced to the movie? Watching on Amazon and its running slightly faster than the recording.
Ben Ranson
2022-01-24 17:54:11 +0000 UTCHey Nat! The character of Ditkovich is actually a reference to Steve Ditko, the co-creator of both Spider-man and Doctor Strange alongside Stan Lee.

Definitely looking forward to watching this reaction later this evening. Have a great day today! 😊 Until the next video, Stay Golden! 💛

Nemesis
2022-01-24 17:03:53 +0000 UTCHappy Marvel Monday Nat. Hope you had a good weekend too. Love your new intros. They are just so you. This is such a fun movie, with a lot of great action scenes, and I love the melodrama of it all. And of course, J.K. Simmons gets all the best lines again 😊 Otto is played by Alfred Molina, who was the guy in your favourite Raiders of the Lost Ark scene who got the tarantulas all over his back 😄 A great Danny Elfman score, despite the fact that he and Sam Raimi fell out during the making of the film, and some scenes are scored by Christopher Young, who went on to score Spiderman 3 and the following Raimi movies. They must have kissed and made up though, because Elfman is scoring Dr. Strange 2, directed by Raimi. Loved your Katy Perry reference and also after Peter and MJ were almost crushed to death by a car, your main concern was "Oh, her hats gone" 😂 Nat, you're awesome. Thanks for an amazing video today 💛
