 I neglected to mention here that I finally bought Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 on DVD last year, mainly because I was excited about the release of Spider-Man 3. Of course, I had to complete the set, and without a doubt I needed to own the movie with my pal Jerry's screen credit! It's true that Spider-Man 3 was disappointing in some ways, mainly because they tried to tie together too many plots, making the film too long (not to mention including more musical numbers than any superhero movie should!), but that doesn't mean I'm not a fan of the movie! There are lots of incredible sequences that I could watch again and again, many of which are covered on the second disc of bonus material. I was more amazed than ever at the effortless (looking) 60-foot jump that Pater makes after his fight with Harry, and I appreciated the emotion during Harry's death scene a little more, too. The collection of mini-documentaries included are pretty good, especially the segments that explore the CG techniques behind the Sandman and Venom, but unfortunately many of them are wall-to-wall interviews with the producers, which definitely gets old after a while. I totally love trivia subtitle tracks, which were wonderful on the previous movie DVDs, but I was sad to see they weren't included this time. However, you can watch the commentary subtitles along with the movie soundtrack, which provides a similar effect (ironically, the producers' commentary is far more interesting than the director's commentary, since Sam tends to talk about broader topics rather than about the actual scene on the screen, which is what I prefer!). With so many bad superhero movies in the history of cinema, it's great to have a few gems that reveal the power and excitement of these characters, and the Spider-Man trilogy (even with its faults) certainly is a jewel!Labels: dvds |
