You really don't. The new scenes are either glaringly-obvious CG cutscenes they stapled onto the film to sell more DVDs (Like the extension of the subway train fight, I never thought I'd say that I was fine with less, but GOD what they added does not mesh well at all), or they're extraneous material that deserved to be left on the cutting room floor.
The last thing I want people revisiting Spidey 2 to do is watched the Extended Cut under the pretense that it's the optimal film experience. I wonder if the same guy behind 2.1 was behind the new Spider-Man 3 extended cut too.
The theatrical cut is better.
2.1 doesn't have "GOOooOooO"
Also this.
We just don't get scenes like this in super-hero comic movies anymore. Back in 2004, in that theater, I believed every word spoken here. Is this even the case now?

Remember how the Conners had a video explaining his villainous plan all cued up to play for Peter to discover.
ASM was pretty clunky...
I will say this though, the fight in the high school was pretty on point

I used to love Spiderman, but lost all interest after the ASM movies. Crazy how a few bad movies can change your opinion on a character.
Raimi did cool shit like this in all of the action.
The way he uses space was really clever.
There was one video analyzing the Goblin death scene in SM1 that highlights this.
Raimi trilogy sits at a weird spot among the people I know.
My friends acknowledge the first two are good, but they will collectively disagree with me when I say SM2 is among the best in the genre. Some even say the first is the best (my dad who hates superhero movies says this).
They usually tell me that it's no where near TDK. But that's usually where it ends. Guess Raimi cheese just isn't that charming to everyone. And it's weird because I remember the film so much more than them. Perhaps it just doesn't resonate with some people or the MCI just changed their preferences within the genre.
It's funny because TASM was supposedly tonally inspired by Nolan's Batman, and that film lacked charm or any personality and had to be carries by Garfield and Stone. TASM2 tried to raise up the camp factor and ended up being TASM after Avi Arad ate it, vommited it, ate it again, and then shat it back out.
After seeing Holland in CW, I think he might be my favorite Spidey. He reminds me of me as kid. This is the first movie Spidey that is actually a fucking teenager and not a grown ass man playing HS. I know he's gonna be 20 by the second film but fuck it I'm in.
As somebody who grew up on "Spiderman: The Animated Series" I really did not like neither Spiderman 1, 2 nor 3. In it PP was so frustratingly naive and unintelligent and the web magically shooting out of his wrists was laughable - I suppose he wasn't smart enough to build web-shooters so it fits in an ironic way. They came across more along the lines of early 00s style teenage/early adult series in movie form.
ASM and its sequel swung more towards the right direction but didn't quite hit the mark neither. We know for a fact that this is a MCU movie, which for some reason garner high scores from reviewers most of the time even though I find them quite droll so... Yeah, no real expectations here. Eyes open, brain off and enjoy

Is this Spider-Man 3?

It would be a lot more critically insightful and taken far more seriously then if he left out the "Hulk smash" nonsense. It actually makes it tough to read and even get through to attempt to find the points he's trying to make because of all the speaking in first person childishness.
It just makes it very silly and unprofessional when taken as a serious review of anything - just my opinion, mind you.
I actually watched The Amazing Spider-Man movies before I'd ever read anything on movie Gaf about them and I'm glad I did it that way. I enjoyed them and they're thoroughly entertaining. I also like the Spider-man suit in them. This Hulk guy saying that there's no story in the original The Amazing Spider-Man...then what the fuck did I watch? I understood every second of it and I wished it went on longer when the credits started to roll.
Opinions are opinions I guess.
I hate it when people refer to themselves in the first person.
Spider-Verse in a nutshell.

Pretty much exactly my experiences and opinion though I have a higher opinion of the MCU. Most of my interactive of the character's is that he's generally reasonably intelligent wide cracking guy. The Raimi's film's version was neither of those things. It became painfully awkward when they tried to put him through the black suit arc in 3. Which generally results in a more aggressive cockier version of himself but there isn't an.aggressive or cocky bone in that versions body so they turned him into angsty emo. Hardly the vision if someone on a power trip.

I know it's your opinion and you're entitled to it - but James Horner's score was bland? I was hooked from the opening title sequence - it was heroic and powerful, but that's just my opinion.
You ever think that people genuinely don't like any of the Spider-Man movies as Spider-Man moviesAll Spider-Man threads without fail have a tiny band of attention seeking try-hards attempting to shit on Spider-Man 2. Dodge the bait like Spidey

New Aunt May is hot therefore is more authentic than those old movies

But Cap beat his ass with no sympy in Civil War
Spidey looks like a chump to me

The suit was more or less already designed, red and blue, goggles, web shooters... Tony Stark is doing his part : he just pays for everything, designs everything, makes everyone look cooler.
Nope. its only sin was the 3D webbing. Otherwise it looks far closer to what I'd consider the real iconic Spiderman costume, which is this.
I also liked when the movies looked good and it looked red, and not soft pink.
(And people call the DCEu washed out, l-o-l)
The MCU one has those round eyes (ugh) and those horrible black parts, and the webbing is so thin it's not visible from afar. Worst cinematic costume by far.
I feel this is a pretty big over-statement.
For all intents and purposes, Tony took the idea of Peter's being red and blue and designed the iconic Spiderman outfit from scratch.

Absolutely. High five, my dude!
He only had his powers for six months. Kid has to learn.

Wh- what?
How is he designing it from scratch if he took Peter's homemade suit as a template?

True.
But he...he took the suit Peter used as a template
Marvel dodged a bullet
Raised webbing can now go away forever.
The MCU suit really is pitch-perfect. So glad they didn't mess with the iconic design of the classic suit as a means of differentiating this Spidey from previous film incarnations, who obviously had very similar outfits, despite the minor variations.
Though I probably would have liked this outfit more in Civil War if it wasn't an obvious CGI cartoon.
I wasn't even talking about the raised webbing though that shit helped ruin the costume too
I'm talking about how it's symmetrical on a horizontal line when it shouldn't be and also that the lines intersect in the raimi version
you see how there's a line going down the center of his forehead in that one but not down the center of his nose? that's how it's done. symmetrical on a vertical line, not a horizontal line. also you see how none of the lines intersect in the middle between his eyes?
now compare that to the raimi version
garbage garbage garbage in every aspect

This actually reminds me that Spider-Man doesn't doesn't throw a punch or kick outside of the one he gave Cap. And that was just him swinging Cap into his outstretched leg. I don't know if it's intentional but I took it as Spider-Man not wanting to splatter his opponents all over the ground.

He swung in and gave Falcon a front kick.
I can give you that (for purely fanboy reasons, which I understand) but the rest is more closer to the comics than whatever the stark suit is.
I mean, outside of the general colour scheme, to me they're very different suits, lads.
I mean, Tony even drastically redesigned the Spider-Man logo, for crying out loud.
I still think that Amazing Spider-Man 2 had the best costume but MCU is SO CLOSE ... only need is a bigger chest spider and bigger eyes
edit :
Also kinda funny how the bigger spider chest simbol on the jacket in the noob suit makes it almost like Scarlet Spider xD

MCU Spidey is the closest we'll ever get to this and I wouldn't want it any other way.
We can get closer.
Just remove all those weird-ass, pointless black lines covering the blue section of the outfit and we're golden, darling.
nope, not at all the civil war costume is the closest to the classic ditko/romita sr. spider man costume that we've seen
the webbing is right, it's not raised, it has the correct patter, the eyes are right, the spider logo on the front is right, and the spider logo on the back is right. the only real liberties it took are the black parts.
vs. this abomination
yep

Yeah, I actually kinda like the black strips on the red portion of the costume, but those thinner lines on the blue have got to go or at least toned down and made less busy.
But Stark, seemingly, put the webbing on the suit. Which just seems like a weird thing for him to have done. Manufactured the fabric and lenses? Sure. But he, or someone he employs, must have thought "You know what, let's put a web pattern on the suit - that'll look really cool". I can imagine a teenager doing that when designing their superhero outfit, but it doesn't make sense for Stark (who isn't a designer) to have done it.
