Spider:Man (Feature)

This Blu-Ray release of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man from 2002 is amazing, like the actual Stan Lee and Steve Ditko Marvel Spider-Man comic books the film is based on. The picture quality for this Blu-ray release is fantastic, looking even crisper and clearer than the original DVD release of this movie and, unsurprising, even the VHS release ever was back than. Everything looked better with this Blu-ray, and while I won't spoil anything what happens in this movie for those who didn't see it yet, I can say that the 1080p high definition upgrade is well worth it. It does also have some bonus features that was carried over from the original two disc DVD release. It, however, does not have all of the DVD bonus features such as the exclusive Marvel dot digital comic books on disc two of the two disc edition that was readable as DVD-ROM content, which is understandable as Blu-ray doesn't currently have Blu-ray ROM capabilities that I know of. It is lacking other bonus features from the DVD edition such as the Nickelback Hero music video and Sum 41's What Where All About music video, possibly because Sony couldn't get the licensing for both music videos to include on this Blu-ray release. For those reasons, I'm will be keeping both this Blu-ray edition as well as the two disc DVD edition together in my collection so I won't lose access to any of the DVD exclusive bonus features I do enjoy consuming. This Blu-ray is still amazing for the superb picture quality it almost feels very close to a movie theater experience. If you want to see this movie at the best home theater presentation possible, get this. This Blu-ray definitely gets a full five star rating from me. Highly recommended!

Great movie

Good

You can go wrong with this movie if you're a fan of Spiderman!

Sam Raimi’s 2002 film, “Spider-Man,” adapts the Stan Lee/Steve Ditko character for the big screen. The film stars Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson, James Franco as Harry Osborn, Cliff Robertson as Ben Parker, Rosemary Harris as May Parker, J.K. Simmons as J. Jonash Jameson, Bill Nunn as Robbie Bobertson, and Elizabeth Banks as Betty Brant. Raimi retells Spider-Man’s origin, with Peter Parker starting out as an outcast nerdy kid living in a working class neighborhood of Queens with his aunt and uncle. On a field trip, a genetically-modified (rather than radioactive) spider bites him, granting him powers including strength, speed, agility, a danger-sense, and the ability to shoot webs out of his wrists. He initially tries to use this power to make money, but lets a thief escape when the man running an underground wrestling match cheats Peter out of his winnings. The thief kills Peter’s Uncle Ben and so Peter learns the meaning of his uncle’s wisdom: “with great power there must also come great responsibility.” Meanwhile, Norman Osborn, fearful of losing military contracts, tests an experimental enhancement formula on himself, which drives him mad and turns him into the Green Goblin as he seeks revenge against those he perceives as having wronged him. Spider-Man and the Goblin clash, with their personal connection lending emotional weight to the physical fight. While “Blade” (1998) and “X-Men: The Movie” (2000) helped launch the modern superhero movie, Raimi’s bright and colorful “Spider-Man” proved that comic book movies could be faithful to a comic book aesthetic and tone while still being powerful films. He went on to direct both sequels to this film, which also launched an animated series spin-off that aired on MTV. I purchased this DVD because I had worn out my old DVD of the film and it was time to revisit this series.

Very enjoyable. My grandson wanted to watch.

I loved this original! Definitely a must-see!Pros:- Packed full of action, romance, and adventure- Perfect for a father/son movie nightCons:- Not recommended for little children- Some profanity

I enjoyed this movie in theaters and now, in my home theater with the surround sound on! Toby M. does great as Peter Parker/ Spider Man. Loved the battle between Spider Man and Green Goblin. So good! Glad to have added this to my movie collection. Thank you!

Watching from Sweden but obviously watching the movie in english. Great scan of the movie, available in english 7.1 Atmos and 5.1 DTS. The Atmos version is super immersive and you really get that pop out of the audio and picture quality. Im watching it on a OLED CX65 aswell as using a merdian soundbar from LG but playing the movie through my PS5, to me it sounds and looks incredible (Not an audiophile, more so visiual nerd). I am suprised at how good my PS5 works as an 4K blu ray player.

'Nobody says No to me' quips the Green Goblin, and nobody should say no to watching it. 40 years since his first appearance in 1962 upon the pages of 'Amazing Fantasy' courtesy of Stan Lee at Marvel comics, the web-slinger finally swings his way onto the silver screen, leaving mouths gaping and eyes bewildered. Piloted by American Sam Raimi, who wrote and directed the 1982 cult classic 'The Evil Dead' at the tender age of 18, comic fans and movie buffs alike waited with anticipation.Opening with the 'Who Am I?' Over voice, the film runs along at tremendous pace, piecing together what would later complete the tale in terms of characterization and depth. While on a field trip to a local laboratory in New York, shy Parker finally finds his chance of talking to his only love, Watson, by offering to photograph her for the school paper. In doing so, Parker is bitten by a genetically-altered spider, leaving him dazed and drowsy and eventually sending him to bed. The next morning dawns and Parker is no-longer in need of his thick black goggles, while his strength and stature are to impress. As the day slowly unfolds, Parker continues to learn more unexplainable discoveries about his new gift and why life will never be the same again. With trouble from Norman Osbourn's alter-ego the Green Goblin, who flies through the streets of the Big Apple on a glider of his own design, throwing pumpkin bombs to the innocent citizens below, Parker's life becomes harder by the day as he begins to realize that with great power, comes great responsibility. To watchers unfamiliar to the story of Spider-Man will find this as easy to view as fans, as Raimi lays down a majority of the facts making this a highly enjoyable movie. Unlike Tim Burtons' 'Batman' and Warren Beattys' 'Dick Tracy', the scenery to which the action is staged is New York as its stands, different from the dark and repressed Gotham City and High Color picturesque of Tracy. With echoes from his previous films 'The Evil Dead' and 'Darkman', Raimi has nevertheless assembled one of the finest films to come from 2002, that will be referred to among other comic-strip classics, such as 'Batman' and 'The Crow'. The soundtrack is fine, but Elfman's two tracks stick for much longer than any of the pop infecting your ears. A marvelous film with all the ingredients to stay fresh for years to come.

Perfect.

主人公もよい。悪役はもっと良い。作品も素晴らしい。傑作だと思います。

A great option for your movie collection
