Editorial Reviews: The case for the Blu-ray high definition format is considerably, and immediately, strengthened by the appearance of one of cinema’s most lucrative franchises of recent times. Each of the Spider-man films have amassed extraordinary sums of money, and they’re gathered here together in this glorious high-definition set. Ironically for a trilogy, it’s the second film that’s the strongest, although let’s not jump ahead. The first Spider-man, for instance, introduces us to Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire), and covers the genesis of the infamous superhero. Set against Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin, it’s a deft, impressive and entertaining blockbuster, albeit one that takes a little longer than you’d like to get motoring. Spider-man 2 is the business, though. This is the one with Alfred Molina’s stunning Doctor Octopus, although he has to share the screen with the title character contending with his dual life, and the effect on his relationship with Mary-Jane (Kirsten Dunst). It could have gone wrong, but it’s so tightly put together that it’s one of the very best blockbusters of recent times. Spider-man 3, inevitably, can’t quite match the standard set, but you can’t fault it for ambitious. Mixing in Topher Grace as Venom, Thomas Haden Church as Sandman and James Franco as the new Green Goblin, it’s a lot to fit into one film, and that’s what bogs things down. However, when it does hit its stride, Spider-man 3 is a rip-roaring ride in its own right. Exclusive to the Blu-ray format in high definition, this is undoubtedly the cinematic purist’s best way to enjoy the Spider-man films at home. And backed up by some incisive extra features, this is a boxset that not only demos the strengths of high definition home entertainment, it’s also got three highly entertaining films at the core of it. --Jon Foster
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good trilogy and a great HD experience Comment: I didn't play this on a PS3 so can't comment on those glitches. Spiderman fills the widescreen format and looks quite sharp, albeit with a fair amount of grain. The effects look very solid. The film itself is one of my favourites and stands up to repeat viewing very well. Spiderman 2 is the best of the bunch, in my opinion, on all fronts - story, performances, picture quality, sound, FX etc. Spiderman 3 looks great, but I must admit I stopped watching it about 45 mins in. I'll finish it at some stage but it's good to have the whole trilogy at least - even though there are too many characters, too many plotlines, too many issues and too little follow through to keep it as fresh and fun as 1 and 2 were. A recommended boxset overall. Customer Rating: Summary: Best trilogy ever Comment: I love all spiderman movies, I had them all on dvd already. Now they came as a trilogy on blu-ray, and I bought is immediatly. Amazing movies, amazing quality. And not a single problem playing any of them on my PS3. As for the people handing out one or two star ratings for this trilogy, don't you think it's kinda wrong to award low ratings for these blu-rays when the problem is obviously not the blu-rays but the PS3 firmware??? Customer Rating: Summary: Best price around..... Comment: This has got to be the best priced Blu-Ray title by far for £25 you get all 3 Spider-Man films all on blu-ray, one title alone is around £20/£25 nowadays, my local high street store has the Spider-Man Trilogy and they are selling it for £50?. First of all I would like to assure all the PS3 owners that Spider-Man 2 does work on a PS3, I was a little nervous in getting the boxset after reading most prople are having problems in playing Spider-Man 2 on there PS3's as someone has mentioned that Sony have fixed the problem, if you haven't updated your PS3 then I recommend you do so. The latest update for your PS3 is v2.42 and can be manually downloaded at http://uk.playstation.com/ps3 or via your PS3. When my boxset arrived Spider-Man 2 was the first disc I tried, and yep it played straight away. The quality and the sound of the film is just out of this world, and at £25 you just can't beat it. Thanx Amazon great product and fast delivery ;-) Customer Rating: Summary: Movie: 3~4.5/5 Picture Quality: 3.5~4.75/5 Sound Quality: 4~4.755/5 Extras: 0~4/5 Comment: Version: U.S.A Spider-Man / Region Free MPEG-4 AVC BD-50 Running time: 2:01:11 Movie size: 30,791,897,088 bytes Disc size: 32,496,402,276 bytes Average Video Bit Rate: 26.09 Mbps Dolby TrueHD 5.1 24-bit (upconverted from a 16-bit master) Spider-Man 2 (seamless branching) MPEG-4 AVC BD-50 Running time: 2:07:25 Movie size: 36,883,243,008 bytes Disc size: 49,011,222,186 bytes Average Video Bit Rate: 24.14 Mbps Dolby TrueHD 5.1 24-bit Spider-Man 2.1 (seamless) MPEG-4 AVC BD-50 Running time: 2:15:46 Movie size: 39,171,311,616 bytes Disc size: 49,011,222,186 bytes Average Video Bit Rate: 24.06 Mbps Dolby TrueHD 5.1 24-bit Spider-Man 3 / Region A MPEG-4 AVC BD-50 Running time: 2:19:10 Movie size: 43,368,265,728 bytes Disc size: 48,052,312,355 bytes Average Video Bit Rate: 26.06 Mbps Dolby TrueHD 5.1 24-bit LPCM 5.1 4608Kbps 16-bit Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect Product Comment: At first when i read the reviews and noticed that some people were having problems playing Spider-man 2 on their PS3's i was abit worried about the product i had ordered as this would be the way i would be playing the films. When it arrived 2 days after order the first thing i done was try spider-man 2 and it worked first time without having to turn the system off or anything. The rest of the product is also brilliant and at that price is a must have for anyones blu-ray collection. Great set of films just hope they dont bring anymore out which will then ruin my box set but i think they will. More Reviews
