Spider-Man 2 [2004] - FULL REACTION!! (Patreon)

Oh my… Mr Sam Raimi… that operating theatre scene… I felt an erection coming on! It was amazing but… WHY!?!? What was he doing here to make that scene absolutely rock? Rock so hard, my undergarments fell loose!

I’m hoping when we watch it together, you’re going through the check list in your mind palace and spotting the techniques applied here. In the voice of Shao Kahn… OUTSTANDING!

This movie is so much better than I initially thought or remember for that matter. Like I mention in the post review watch, this is one of those gems that the filmmaking knowledge doesn’t become a curse but a gift! However, it did make me not love a certain scene as much because we can see the issues with it. Saying that, maybe they are a me thing!? Let me know what you think.

CinemaScope [2.39:1] Spider-Man or Flat [1.85:1] Spider-Man… What do you prefer and did you even notice until I mentioned it?

I really felt Sam Raimi came into his own with the superhero genre. Knowledge learnt; difficulties overcome thanks to Spider-Man 2002. Also switching out the DPs too!

Different Visual Styles: Don Burgess [Spider-Man 2002] is known for a more naturalistic, earthy, and subdued photographic style. I mention this! Bill Pope [Spider-Man 2] brought a much richer, highly stylized, and saturated colour palette [except that one scene], that leaned heavily into a dynamic comic-book aesthetic.
