Train fight

[Spider-ManHero12]

Still the greatest comic book movie fight scene of all time.

It's a good one. Thinking about the Raimi films, I'd say the only fight sequence across the three I'm not crazy about is the end battle royale with Sandman and Venom.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Tbh, all the fights in each film were incredible, IMO. Completely top notch.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Another incredible fight (even though I love them all) is the final battle between Spider-Man and The Green Goblin. It's So brutal and so amazing.

 

[Godzilla2014]

The clock-tower/train fight from Spider-Man 2 is probably my favorite superhuman fight scene to date, and I don't think there's been a fight scene that was more exhilarating.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Indeed.

 

[Godzilla2014]

Indeed.

Raimi really upped the ante on the action in the sequels. While the climactic battle of Spider-Man with Green Goblin was the probably the most brutal of the series, I think fights like Spider-Man 2's train sequence and Spider-Man 3's first Peter vs Harry Osborn fight beat any fight from SM1 in terms of pure exhilaration, if that makes any sense.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Personally, I thought every fight was 100% satisfying. They are the king of the superhero film fights.

I'd rate SM2 and SM3's fight scenes over most of those in SM1. I'm not saying that any of the fight scenes in Spider-Man weren't satisfying, just that they pale in comparison to those of Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

One thing I love so much about the fights is how they seem to have stepped out of the pages of a comic book. Pure adrenaline rush.

Completely agreed.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Perfection at it's best.

 

[Godzilla2014]

Perfection at it's best.

Agreed. The reboot has massive shoes to fill.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Agreed. It's gonig ot be REALLY REALLY REALLY hard to live up to the fight scenes form these films.

 

[Godzilla2014]

Definitely.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I was on the edge of my seat durind the entire train scene. So much tension.

Same here!

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

It was just pure perfection.

 

[Godzilla2014]

It was just pure perfection.

Agreed!

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

And it sort of resembles ASM issue 33 where peter is trying to use all of his strength to pick up the debris.

You mean at the end of the film when Spider-Man is holding up the debris of the collapsing ceiling to save Mary Jane?

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Well, actually I meant when he's trying to stop the train.

Ah. Because the one I mentioned was an intentional homage to that scene from the comic.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Indeed it was. So we can pretty say both resemble it.

 

[Godzilla2014]

Agreed. How would you say that, on the whole, the three films compared to each other in terms of their fight scenes?
