That was a very Wizard of Oz entrance to the Unity Day Festival for the Green Goblin. My only issue with the organic webbing, is there is one obvious place where it should come from and it sure as heck isn't the wrists.

2024-12-12 04:57:39 +0000 UTCJust getting to this reaction. This was my favorite movie for a long time. But it's been probably 10 or more years since I saw it last. Forgot just how fun it was. That Sam Raimi style was perfect for this movie. As soon as I heard that Danny Elfman soundtrack start up it put me right back in the mood for this movie. Thanks for the reaction!

2022-05-24 02:03:38 +0000 UTCSuper late to this one (actually all the Spider-Mans [Spiders-Man? Spider-Men?] except No Way Home), but finally gonna deep-dive/binge-watch them this weekend as a treat to myself. But I wanted to pause and say, in 2002 I didn't know anyone still using Kodak film cameras, we were all rockin' digital cameras, just not on our phones. =D (And instead of Tik Tok, we had Flash animations and AngelFire/GeoCities GIF-laden blogs. It was a very DIY time.)

2022-04-09 00:08:35 +0000 UTCAs a Scotsman, I have absolutely no idea what Peacock is. I do, however own this film on almost every possible format (along with the LOTR films). Settling in to watch this re-watch (1st film i have a vivid memory of watching in the cinema!) and, very much, looking forward to it!

2022-01-29 03:32:41 +0000 UTCI watched this one on Canadian Netflix. Thank you VPN

2022-01-24 05:55:59 +0000 UTCIf you’re planning on watching the new Spider-Man movie NO WAY HOME make sure you complete all the legacy Spider-Man movies first, that’s all I’m saying
RebRox65
2022-01-23 19:03:18 +0000 UTCTo be fair... with X-men movies she does tend to say Mora ("Mo-ra") instead of Moira ("Moy-ra"). Those sneaky little i's seem to always get her lol

Darryl Low
2022-01-20 01:39:08 +0000 UTCthe way you say Raimi ist just pure gold
Marius G
2022-01-19 19:59:17 +0000 UTCThe highlight of this movie is the performances. Everyone did such a good job, but JK Simmons really steals the picture. Just read up that Netflix will have No Way Home before it goes to Disney+. Yes all the Maguire and Garfield films are essential watches before you see No Way Home.
Mike LL
2022-01-19 19:18:46 +0000 UTCThe stylized film making in this movie is not just a early 2000 thing. Is a Sam Raimi thing, the director of this movie is a horror movie director from the 80's. Which comes into play a lot in Spider-man 2. Specially the Hospital scene. Also, you should watch his early work The Evil Dead and Army of Darkness. Also, Sam Raimi aways have the same car in his movies (uncle Ben's car) and a cameo or part for his friend Bruce Campbell (the wrestling announcer).
Thomas Richter
2022-01-19 08:15:53 +0000 UTCI would love to see you react to the Pitch Meeting for these movies on Youtube.
Thomas Richter
2022-01-19 06:18:19 +0000 UTCWow I forgot how good this film was. I was 11 when it came out, watched it a few times after but saw 2 and 3 more often.
Christopher Robles
2022-01-19 04:01:58 +0000 UTCMan, the operating theater scene in Spider-Man 2 is so much better when you're aware of all the Evil Dead references. Chainsaw and all. Also Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi being in all three films. And I think Ash's car is in one of the films.
Nicholas Sulikowski
2022-01-19 03:21:51 +0000 UTCLooking forward to watching Man of Steel and maybe a comparison between the two Justice League movies
Phillip D Piris
2022-01-18 15:56:26 +0000 UTCNah, don't buy it. He's personality is WAY different.

Ben Gilshenan
2022-01-18 13:47:08 +0000 UTCyou mean No way Home ?
Ben Gilshenan
2022-01-18 13:43:45 +0000 UTCA lot of the style was also just classic Raimi. He's all about quick-cuts, quick zoom-ins, and the like. It's just one of his signatures.
Jomero
2022-01-18 08:40:51 +0000 UTCOther people might have said this already but please watch the extended editions of 2 and 3!
XadeChronos
2022-01-18 08:35:29 +0000 UTCThis first one had an audio easter egg of the animated series theme. I remember watching this in the theatre when it first came out and wondered if they would include it and was delighted when they did.
Matthew Shaver
2022-01-18 05:35:54 +0000 UTCThat's a good question, I can go either way!
—thoughtstorms—Keith—
2022-01-18 04:41:09 +0000 UTCSome of the stylization came from trying to recreate some of the comic book style. The Goblin's hand coming up from under the rubble, for example, is how the scene would have been shown in telling a story with sequential art in comics. Lots of the other stylized moments seem to be for that reason too. Slight cheese in live action, but necessary in sequential art.
Robert Reichle
2022-01-18 04:20:57 +0000 UTCshould Nat watch all the old spiderverses (Maguire AND Garfield) prior to No Way Home?
Brandon Zepf
2022-01-18 04:20:26 +0000 UTCSo much Sam Raimi style directing in that. Stuff he did in the Evil Dead movies but with a big budget available. Great fun.
Robert Reichle
2022-01-18 04:18:08 +0000 UTCWhile it is true that there aren't any mid- or post-credit scenes, there is a fun little Easter Egg in the credits - the last song played during the credit scroll is the theme from the 60's Spider-Man cartoon.
Thomas Yanez
2022-01-18 04:16:21 +0000 UTCAbout your monologue before the movie started: Life wasn't "simpler" back in 2002 than it is now; it was just different. :)

2022-01-18 04:00:44 +0000 UTCWhy not use toilet paper? It's just tissues on a roll.
Joe Blankenship
2022-01-18 03:59:32 +0000 UTCSo Nat, did you know that there's a valid theory out there that Maguire's Parker is Peter B. Parker from Spiderverse? Finish Maguire's movies and then watch Peter B Parker's intro monologue again, if you don't believe me.
Richard Ryan
2022-01-18 03:24:22 +0000 UTCThis and the Holland Spider-Man movies are the only ones I’ve seen, so doing the rest of the Maguire and adding Garfield should be kinda fun! No Way Home will be available for streaming February 28th, so you got time. No rush whatsoever. As for this… I dunno, I remember back 2002 feeling this was a letdown after X-Men. It’s entertaining, sure, but just left me feeling kind of cold. Couldn’t warm to Tobey’s take and I just cannot unsee Goblin as the evil Green Power Ranger. The one saving grace then was my monster crush on Kirsten Dunst and she’s still the highlight of the flick for me. Oh and it also gave us Weird Al’s Ode to a Superhero, so there’s that too. To paraphrase, be glad to give this another try again when the sequel comes ‘round. Still Golden.
Matthew Periolat
2022-01-18 02:38:37 +0000 UTCOh I remembered her! hahaha, I remember pointing that scene out to people whenever they brought her up in conversation. :D I love having memories like those. :)
Logan Kerlee
2022-01-18 02:05:19 +0000 UTCAh! Good point. Way to go at making me feel old. xD I was 13 when this came out. I remember seeing it in theaters back then. hahahaha, those were the days! <3
Logan Kerlee
2022-01-18 02:01:55 +0000 UTCIn the best of ways though, am I right?
Logan Kerlee
2022-01-18 02:00:14 +0000 UTCi believe far from home is available to buy digitally on feb 20th but wont be available to rent for awhile
Blake Quick
2022-01-18 01:59:45 +0000 UTCNo kidding? That's mighty impressive, even if they messed with film speed and all that! Way cool, great contribution. :D
Logan Kerlee
2022-01-18 01:59:26 +0000 UTCI SUPER enjoyed that trip down memory lane! I remember watching this in theaters back when this came out. It was SUCH AN AWESOME MOVIE to see in theaters as a young teenager. I have watched ALL of the Spider-Man movies in theaters, except for the third. I remember missing that and not being upset about it after it was released. I'm pretty sure that one was just awful. xD Anyway though!! This movie was such a treat. Thank you for watching it. :)
Logan Kerlee
2022-01-18 01:45:06 +0000 UTCVery fun nostalgia trip, it's been quite a while since I've seen this one myself. The CGI is a bit dated for sure but it's pretty good nonetheless and Dafoe puts in an incredible performance here that set the bar for comic book movie villains until Heath Ledger's Joker turn later in the decade.
Erik Stevenson
2022-01-18 00:04:16 +0000 UTCWe've been over this Natalie. How can you not have tissues? LMAO
TrackHoodie
2022-01-17 23:37:19 +0000 UTCHere's how the different actors break down: Toby McGuire is the best Peter Parker Andrew Garfield is the best Spiderman Tom Holland is the best mix of both Peter and Spiderman, but is not the best at either
Leaf on the Wind
2022-01-17 23:36:19 +0000 UTCIt was Ted, not Ivan.
Dooly
2022-01-17 23:22:13 +0000 UTCDid anybody else catch Octavia Spencer at the wrestling check-in table? Never noticed her before. This was way back before she became a name.
Joe Blankenship
2022-01-17 23:13:24 +0000 UTCBruce Campbell cameos in each of the Sam Raimi movies, and JJJ's goofy assistant was Raimi's brother, Ivan.
Ben Wheeler
2022-01-17 23:12:44 +0000 UTCThank you Natalie! I was impatient for this beginning of adventure 😄 and to say that it's already been 20 years... It's scary how time flies hahaha I love this movie (the whole trilogy, even the 3 hahaha), I think there's an endearing side to it with the "cheesy" side in the dialogues, the acting, the shots, etc. Willem Dafoe is just epic in his role, we can see he loved doing the Green Goblin, many people don't like his costume but I think it's perfect, there's this "cheesy" side that gives it "charm" hahaha Personally I would say that Tobey is maybe not the best incarnation, for me it's Andrew, even if Tobey was my first spider-man haha (but it's like a draw in my heart haha), on the other hand the best villains are for me the Green Goblin and Dr. Octopus from Raimi's films, Dafoe and Molina are and will be unbeatable 😄 As usual you were great, radiated good humor and communicative laughter, and just for that I am more than impatient for the next film 😄 I hope you're fine, take care, be safe and stay golden! 💛
Calo Grsf
2022-01-17 22:39:57 +0000 UTCThese are going to be fun. I doubt you'll remember too much if you haven't seen it since it was released. Weren't you like 7 or 8 years old anyway?
Joe Blankenship
2022-01-17 22:19:05 +0000 UTCMovie is even cheesier than I remembered
Tay Schumaker
2022-01-17 22:02:58 +0000 UTCFinished the reaction - great stuff, nice to see you getting so into it. Looking forward to seeing the other Raimi films and the TASM films, before diving into No Way Home eventually.
Niklas
2022-01-17 21:28:06 +0000 UTC"Sorry Mary Jane, another side-effect of that spider-bite is that my pee-pee don't work."
Keith Jacobsen
2022-01-17 21:28:06 +0000 UTCHe can't roll on Peter. Spider-Man pictures sell papers!
Joe Blankenship
2022-01-17 21:27:32 +0000 UTCLittle fun fact for everyone. The scene were Peter catches the tray full of things was done practically and Toby had to actually do it IRL. Now when I re-watch the scene I always give Toby extra chops.
Persnickity
2022-01-17 21:15:36 +0000 UTCOne thing I noticed this viewing that I didn't pick up on before is that J Jonah is a really good guy deep down. At the very least he is highly ethical. When the Green Goblin had him, he instantly covered for Peter at his own peril. A guy who didn't even work for him and he had Peter's back just like that. Made me like him a lot more because he's very complex for an antagonist. He thinks he's right and is trying to do right by people as he sees the world. He really thinks Spider-Man is a bad guy, but he's watching out for the public. I just loved that this time around because it gives me a whole different angle on that character.
Essero Eson
2022-01-17 21:14:12 +0000 UTCHad to pause the reaction to come here and say how much I loved the "2002 Flashback" intro you did. 😂 "Nat Loves the 00's"

Caio Momesso
2022-01-17 20:01:26 +0000 UTCNow that you watched this, you can watch the definitive edition called "Superhero Movie"
Tiago Borges
2022-01-17 19:43:13 +0000 UTCYou have got to watch the other 2 movies ! Rami trilogie is awesome
Philippe Dessaints
2022-01-17 19:42:06 +0000 UTCGood ol' Joe Manganiello as Flash Thompson.

2022-01-17 19:31:50 +0000 UTCExactly.
Navjot Singh
2022-01-17 19:29:14 +0000 UTCWhen you said you didn't have tissues at the beginning Nat, I knew we were in trouble 😢 I loved your intro and I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this movie. You called certain moments cheesy Nat, but I enjoy the fact that we know what we are watching is fantastic and ridiculous, but the actors are playing it completely straight. Most of the recent comic book movies, which I still enjoy, play with a more comedic edge, which can often distract from the drama. I didn't know the Daily Bugle was in the Flat Iron Building 😄 Before this movie came out here in the UK, it was targeted at kids with loads of toys and merchandise, but when it was released it was deemed too violent and they gave it a 12 cert, meaning nobody under 12 could see it. Cue lots of angry parents complaining about the fact, and they re-launched the movie as a 12A, meaning kids could get in as long as they were accompanied. Thanks for a great trip down memory lane today Nat. Was a lot of fun 💛
Darryl Low
2022-01-17 19:28:27 +0000 UTCThat was so much fun to rewatch.
Thomas Malley
2022-01-17 19:24:54 +0000 UTCWhat a nice surprise hat you decided to watch these. Im guessing you have seen No Way Home trailer so it makes sense to revisit these. You better also revisit The Amazing Spider-Man movies directed by Marc Webb and starring Andrew Garfield. Spider-Man 2 will be best of this trilogy. One of the best superhero movies ever made. Have a wonderful week Natalie.
Kalle-Tapani Isomaa
2022-01-17 19:22:08 +0000 UTCThere aren't any post-credit scenes for these Spider-Man movies so no worries
Kevin Bartelen
2022-01-17 19:20:40 +0000 UTCIve always loved that The wrestler, Bonesaw McGraw is played by a real wrestler called "Macho Man" Randy Savage And that the wrestling announcer is played by Bruce Campbell aka Ash from the evil dead
ButtyOh
2022-01-17 19:20:19 +0000 UTCA bunch have said it already but you should also definitely watch the Amazing Spider-Man films before you watch No Way Home. I would also personally recommend watching the Venom films but those aren’t quite as necessary.
Zach Strand
2022-01-17 19:17:40 +0000 UTCThere is still Deadpool 2, Dark Phoenix and New Mutants. For last 2 i don't care that much thou.
Kalle-Tapani Isomaa
2022-01-17 19:16:55 +0000 UTCI am pretty sure she will finish them just be patient. It is good that she started Raimi Spider-Man movies because of you know what.
Kalle-Tapani Isomaa
2022-01-17 19:16:14 +0000 UTCJameson doesn't get enough credit for protecting Peter when the Goblin came looking for him. He's not a bad guy. He just hates Spiderman.
Jon Hoover
2022-01-17 18:54:26 +0000 UTCI'm so happy to see you getting into these. I love the Spider-Man films and this one might just be my favorite. :)
Niklas
2022-01-17 18:25:09 +0000 UTCHappy Monday Nat 🤪 Love these
Aaron
2022-01-17 18:23:14 +0000 UTCTechnically she could skip the trainwreck that was Spiderman 3...
Kevin
2022-01-17 18:18:51 +0000 UTCSpider-Man 2 is amazing and one of the best superhero movies in my opinion! I have it tied with Into the Spiderverse as my favorite Spider-Man movie. I know a lot of people really like No Way Home as their favorite Spider-Man movie, but it's definitely not mine. Very good, but flawed, movie. Then again, this is just my opinion. I definitely enjoy the Amazing Spider-Man movies as well, although, in a different way from the MCU Spider-Man trilogy and the Raimi trilogy. Each of these different Spider-Man series has their own distinct feel to them and I enjoy each style. I know some people will also encourage you to watch Venom 1 and 2, but they're really not necessary to watch before No Way Home, although, it would be nice if you got to them eventually. I enjoyed Venom, but was not a fan of Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Anyways, I enjoyed your reaction as always, Nat!
Ilsuk Yang
2022-01-17 18:15:35 +0000 UTCGlad you're doing these. I personally think these movies held up extremely poorly and are pretty bad, but necessary watches.
Tay Schumaker
2022-01-17 18:03:55 +0000 UTCI haven't watched this movie since it was in theaters and I hated it... So lets see if 20 years has changed my mind about it.
Vega
2022-01-17 17:36:36 +0000 UTCWhat's the rest of the week looking like? Don't forget about Hawkeye!
Chris H
2022-01-17 17:28:53 +0000 UTCThere were many Spiderman cartoons before this one, the 90s version being the most iconic. There was also a very campy live action TV show in the 80s.
Jon Hoover
2022-01-17 17:28:13 +0000 UTCI'm off of work today, because we are snowed in, so I jumped immediately when I got this notification. I really hope she likes it. It really set the standard for the MCU.
Jon Hoover
2022-01-17 17:24:02 +0000 UTCWeird! I randomly watched this last night guess ill need to rewatch with you Nat for the Amazing commentary 😆
Isla
2022-01-17 17:23:57 +0000 UTCThis was my first big hit super hero movie on the cinemas, it's still engraved in my brain the day I went to see it, the cinema... everything. I loved Spider-Man from the comics and even though this Spider-Man is slighthly different (in the comics he never shot organic webs from his wrists, and Tobey and Kirsten may be a bit too grown up in this movie to portray two highschool students) but overall it's still a classic. The suit still holds up to this day for me (Green Goblin's not so much)

2022-01-17 17:18:18 +0000 UTCWe had digital cameras in 2002 Nat.... :)

Adam Grunther
2022-01-17 17:11:40 +0000 UTCHappy Monday, Natalie! 😊 I'm downloading this right now so that I can watch it later tonight. I'm so excited that you're reacting to this trilogy. This first is my favorite of the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films. And you definitely also need to watch the two Andrew Garfield "The Amazing Spider-Man" movies as well before seeing "Spider-Man: No Way Home". I did see that that one is scheduled for a February 28th digital release. Really excited to watch this reaction this evening. Have a great day today! 😊 Until the next video, Stay Golden! 💛
