Rewatching this trailer reminds us when teasers could truly misdirect an audience. The sheer surprise of that SPIDER-MAN reveal is an experience modern marketing can’t replicate.

The pre 9/11 promo was some of the coldest I’ve ever seen, the poster with the towers in his eyes is still peak to this day.

Spiderman 2 has one of the Best Teaser cut ever

This Spider-Man 2 trailer is illegal levels of nostalgic

The hype behind the first Spider-Man's release was MASSIVE! And a lot of it was to do with a cultural mindset of; "Wait...can we actually DO Spider-Man? Properly? Have effects come that far?" It could only exist post T2/Jurassic Park/The Matrix. It was a collective 'Finally!'

Best part is it gets you excited without giving away anything from the movie

I remember seeing this in a theater. I had no idea a Spider-Man movie was being made. But the second I saw the helicopter trapped in a web my eyes went wide because I knew it could mean only one thing.

The trailer was made before 9/11. That's why that scene was never in the final movie.

This was so epic back then. It's a shame 9-11 made them pull this ad.

Everybody is talking about 9-11. I'm hear wondering how Spiderman expects the police to get these men down. He just wasted tax dollars with this.

God I miss when rock, industrial, and electronic music was used in movie scores and trailers

it was released before 9-11 .

Greatest teaser of all time. It’s been more than 20 years and it still gets me hyped.

Say what you want - Sony has made generational Spider-Man movies much much before MCU or comic-book movies were even a thing. Big credit to Sam Raimi too. Both Spiderman 1 & 2 were some of the coolest and iconic movies ever made. TASM 1 & 2 actually suffered because of how good Toby Maguire and Sam Raimi's Spiderman franchise was before.

@dyingscribe You'd hear it from your friends Then eventually Apple will have a Quicktime file of it for you to download for your own.

I tried to convince everyone that I watched this trailer and that it exists and yet nobody believed me cuz they couldn't find the video since it was taken down after the twin towers went down.

Probably another reason they can’t make a trailer like that any more.

Months later...

This trailer implies that Spider-Man would leave criminals in situations that couldn’t be escape or be retrieved from. He left those dudes up there to die. So basically, it made Spider-Man out to be an asshole.

One of the greatest theater experiences of my life seeing this trailer debut

Wasn't there supposed to be a final battle on top of the world trade center? I might be thinking of the James Cameron version but I do think i remember seeing concept art of Dafoe's green goblin flying towards the WTC

The stupid trend of having every damn trailer start with a smaller trailer for it doesn't help either.

When columbia and Sam raimi made the Best superhero Movie the whole 2000s generation they ever witnessed

I still say they should have left the Towers in the film.

That was the most early 2000's est trailer I done ever seent...

Everything about it screams 2000s!!! 🤌🏾

The music at the end sounds like the music they used in the movie game intro

What a shame. I only heard of this trailer from watchmojo style videos “top 10 controversial trailers” etc but never knew it was actually a great trailer leaving the Spider-Man reveal to the end.

this shit got me hype like i havent seen the movie yet 😭😭

Oh fuck as hype as when I first watched in

I remember seeing this trailer in theaters as a kid and completely losing my shit 😅

So amazing.

And then yey couldn't show the trailer because the towers weren't there any more
