I mean, I think the idea of Peter not being Spider-Man for a while wasn't a bad idea in and of itself, but they way they went about it was less than ideal.
I think Peter choosing not to be Spider-Man of his own volition would've been a far more powerful narrative hook to hang that second act on.
It wouldn't have made it as dramatic when Peter does get back into the action after Ock kidnaps Mary Jane, but imagine Peter walking away from the muggers not because he can't help, but because he's afraid to help.

Nah, Pete chooses not to be Spider-Man. That's what the whole "My friend blah blah blah." "Well, is that what your 'friend' supposed to be doing" conversation with the Doctor, and the conversation with Mind Ghost Uncle Ben.
Like, him losing his powers was basically described as a side effect of being conflicted over being Spider-Man.
I dunno, if someone put it above spiderman three, I could understand that.
they're both bad movies, the difference is that at some point Raimi saw the production getting away from him and leaned hard into the camp
if you're okay with that kinda nonsense it's a way more tolerable movie than the hackjob that was ASM2
seriously that movie is such a fuckin mess. just the fact that the alternate ending of that movie was something that not only was in the original script that was approved by the studio, but that it got so far that it was filmed and integrated into the movie to the point where certain plot elements that fed into it couldn't be removed along with it is so baffling to me
As much as I don't like Spider-Man 3, I dislike Venom even more so I actually somewhat respect the movie because that movie gives Venom the exact amount of honor it deserves
I found this youtube channel that I'm loving, some lad analysing the work of a bunch of cinematographers.
This channel is completely technical, he'll be throwing around f stop numbers, lens focal lengths, lighting terminology constantly so it aint gonna have broad appeal but I'm posting it anyway in case anyone is interested in getting an idea on what kind of equipment some folks use and how.
I guess the one on gordan willis is a pretty suitable one to post as an example.

I thought it was because he wasn't dealing with his feelings for Mary Jane.
Doc Oct flat-out tells him that doing that will make him sick at the start of the movie.

Well, yes. His feelings for Mary Jane are one of the big reasons he's conflicted about being Spider-Man. He can't have a normal life with a girlfriend and doing great in school and keeping down a steady job if he's also Spider-Man.
I think everybody is going to end up being really happy with it. They’re going to be very, very happy with it when they see what we’ve actually done with it, and I don’t think anybody’s going to be disappointed … I don’t think it was just a Japanese story. Ghost in the Shell was a very international story, and it wasn’t just focused on Japanese; it was supposed to be an entire world. That’s why I say the international approach is, I think, the right approach to it.

It really is the worst
There are things I really dig about SM2 (mainly Doc Ock) but that whole plot point just kills it for me
Spider-Man 1 is a really fun time! In fact I don't think there's too much wrong with it really
I just dig ASM1 more
Both in the movies, and just in general
He's probably my second favorite Spider-Man villain, all told
But that subplot is a goddamn albatross

that was the easiest list I've ever made

I think this is the point where I accept that I'll never understand how your mind works
but putting ASM2 anywhere other than the bottom is plain madness, let alone putting it above Spider-Man 2

Boooonesaaaaw is reeeeeeeaaaaady!
DaFoe's over the top ham performance really kills it for me.
The sick power plot in 2 is dumb, but Molina just knocks it out of the park so hard that it's still enjoyable in spite of everything.

I actually really like the first Raimi movie, and the second is alright too
Civil War is the best movie with Spider-Man in it, but I can't count it as a Spider-Man movie

I used to love it but it didn't hold up all that well.
Watched it just a year or two after it went up on Netflix and had a jolly time.
I mean it has the villain literally trying to force the hero to choose between saving Mary Jane or a bus full of children.
God, four man bank job, and these idiots use a 2 door coupe as the getaway car.

Hahahahahahaha
I mean, technically yes, GitS is an international story
But in the sense that a lot of it is about how Japan adapts to an increasingly global society
lmao
