20 years ago: Sam Raimi's Spider-Man (Bonesaw is ready!)

[Natural Born Farmer]

One of my favorite things about the movie is that as much as Jameson hates Spider-Man, when the Goblin attacks the Bugle and demands info on who's photographing him, Jameson just lies through his teeth and says the photos show up anonymously.

He's a jerk, but he's not an asshole.

First two movies are great. Third one is shit.

Real hot take, that one ;-)

(Third film turned into the Bully Maguire meme, so it's all good)

I will say Tobey was a very good Peter Parker, and combine that Peter with Andrew's Spider-Man and you would get what I'd expect from the character. As it was, Tobey Spidey played it pretty much straight as far as being a superhero goes.

I guess seeing joke-a-minute MCU movies since then makes me realize that maybe a quippy Spider-Man might similarly overdo it, but still...a point of disappointment to me. As I said, seems most of the comedy is saved for Parker scenes.
