Spider-Man Trilogy Blu-ray Collection: Spider-Man (2002) / Spider-Man 2 (2004) / Spider-Man 3 (2007) [Toby Maguire Marvel Comics Spiderman Set)

With great purchases come great responsibility

Loved such a classic movie trilogy. Will always be my favorite spiderman.

The older dvds were always my favorite. Perhaps it’s nostalgia. Nevertheless, I wish we can bring back creativity and imagination within the film industry. It seems everyone is out of ideas…

I love one and two of the collection. Three wasn't as good as one and two. I really enjoyed watching spider man and how he saves the world like superman and other heroes. One and two are awesome and worth watching.

Anyone looking to purchase this trilogy is already a fan of the SPIDERMAN movies and wants to know how they stand up in the magic of blu ray. We all know that the original SPIDERMAN was an amzing film - a rare treat of exemplary action with superb acting for a change. Tobey Maguire and cast finally brought to the comic action movie acting ability that made the film believable. With Tobey Maguire was born Peter Parker/Spdiderman. We also know that with SPIDERMAN 2 the same cast and crew came together with a film that far surpassed the hugely succesful and critically acclaimed original to be the best in the trilogy. All that was good in the first was raised many notches. SPIDERMAN 3 was still a good film but certainly not a match for 1 and 2. Very enjoyable but a little lackluster in comparison.Now for the blu ray test. All I can say is AMAZING. The source they are working from on the original is not as superb as the other two which makes the picture quality slightly grainy in its 1080p hd presentation. But this in no means is a bad thing. It is still a very vivid picture with blacks and colors strongly presented. You quickly get used to the slight grain and the film becomes the best presentation you will ever see of it. With SPIDERMAN 2 the caliber raises. All grain is gone and the picture remains crystal clear and vibrant throughout. All fight/action scenes are awesome and the entire film will leave you breathless. SPIDERMAN 3 has a picture of the great quality the same as the second film and it helps immensely to raise the quality of the film itself much higher for you will be in awe watching the richness and awe striking special effects.With all three films the English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio is of the highest quality. Dialogue is strong and crisp with all speakers in strong, heavy use for action sequences and it seems even the smallest scenes manage to work the rear speakers which is rare. These three films are at their best here and perfectly made for the high standards of blu ray. You cannot imagine how great these films appear in blu ray till you actually see them for yourself. You will never be able to view them another way again.I do agree that the only flaw with this set is the absence of substantial special features. They do provide the 2nd disc with SPIDERMAN 3 that is all features but do not have it for SPIDERMAN 1 or 2. Having all this would have made the set perfect. So it is not perfect but it still cannot make me lower my 5 star rating for the blu ray presentation of these films is exemplary.If you are developing a blu ray library and love these films this SPIDERMAN HIGH DEF BLU RAY TRILOGY is a definite must. Highly recommended.

The Spider-man trilogy with a fourth bonus disc of "extras" is a good collection at a good price compared to buying each of them separately. I won't try to review each film as it would take too much space. I watched the three over the course of about a week. There is cohesion between them as each successive movie extending all the main characters' arcs. The third provides additional closure to plot and character arc elements but not so much that it prevents additional movies. Even so, each one also stands OK on its own without being over-dependent on the previous film(s), unlike the more recent Hunger Games and Hobbit trilogies that employ absolutely infuriating "cliffhanger" endings to suck the audience back for more box office $$$$$ from the next movie in the franchise. Peter Parker is allowed to have all the common traits and emotional angst of a young 18-20 year old adult who is trying to find himself. The result is a very "human" Spider-man and a film that isn't simply a series of web-swinging action sequences. The action is a bit weak in a few places as it defies the Laws of Physics regarding mass, momentum and gravity just a little too much. Movies like these cannot be expected to have 100% accuracy but a little more attention to it could have made some of the action appear more credible than it did. Overall, the Sam Raimi trilogy is very good.The packaging leaves much to be desired. I cannot imagine 6th-8th graders (or some high school teens) getting the discs out of the sleeves without destroying the packaging and the discs from scratches, fingerprints and whatever gooey crud they have on their hands. Worse than the book type packaging with each disc in a "page," this one folds up into fourths with one disc sliding into each panel. Pulling the discs out of these sleeved panels without completely covering them with dozens of fingerprints trying to grasp them was quite frustrating. Consider getting some standard Blu-ray clamshell cases and putting the discs in them if kids are going to handle them. Otherwise, don't expect the fold up sleeve case and probably the discs to last past one or two viewings.
