10 Most Ridiculous Moments In Spider-Man Movies
10. Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head (Spider-Man 2)
Spider-Man 2 is generally considered the height of the entire franchise, mainly because it best balances superhero action with human drama and Raimi's quirky sense of humour. But for all that Spider-Man 2 does well, there is one scene that really stands out... and not for the reasons you may think.
This is of course the montage sequence after Peter gives up being Spider-Man, set to B.J. Thomas' "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head".
Remember, this scene comes right after a dramatic high point. Peter has just literally thrown his costume in a trash can, and next thing we know he's strolling down the street with a goofy smile on his face. It's kind of a jarring transition, and perhaps even a precursor to some of the more peculiar sequences in Spider-Man 3.
It even ends on a freeze frame; you might as well add some canned laughter and an announcer saying, "Spider-Man 2 will be right back after these messages!"
But as weird as this scene is, it works because it is a not only a very effective montage, perfectly summing up Peter's state of mind at this moment and how he now has time for everything he had to put off, but also because of Tobey Maguire's performance. He nails the odd yet earnest character of Peter Parker with very few words, and it's one of the few moments where the character actually seems to be enjoying himself throughout the trilogy.
