Spider-Man HD Trilogy: Blu-Ray Review - 9.5

Ripten's Michael Bencic reviews the Spider-Man HD Trilogy on Blu-Ray disc and whips up a beautiful illustration to commemorate the occasion as well. The kid not only writes, but he can draw too.

[ATLRoAcH]

N4G needs to add HD-DVD and Blu-Ray channels.The whole HD thing is clearly interesting to a lot of gamers on N4G.

[shmee]

It is interesting indeed

Why was the Transformers HD DVD story allowed? Consoles these days are dual purpose machines. This is a story that a writer spent a great deal of time putting together that includes original art as well.

Stop the fanboy garbage already.

[Real gamer 4 life]

Sweet!! i am going to pick this up for christmas. When is the trilogy released??

[ActionBastard]

10/30/07

[gtgcoolkid]

I am gonna pick this up for my ps3. By the way I saw the HD Transformers at a local frys, it looked like a very solid transfer and kind sad it didn't come to blu ray, damn companies screwing the consumers.

[mikeslemonade]

AAA BABY! Killer APP!

[IdontTakeSides]

im definetly picking this up so I can watch it on my PS3....now where's POTC:at worlds end...!!

[gogators]

Like around the 3rd or the 4th.

[riksweeney]

Hopefully POTC: At World's End will never be released because it was a crime against cinema.

[Bladestar]

I really hope this site does not become News for moviers... lol... it would kind of suck... it's bad enough we have to deal with all kinds of blu-ray and HD DVD news... but now... every movie release?

[kevin1122]

what is so hard about not reading the articles that dont interest you. If this stuff bothers you so much might i suggest stop being a fanboy and grow a pair.

[shysun]

Why are you in this thread?WHY?!

[Xwow]

blu-ray all the way =D

[gololo]

nice...although i didn't like the 3rd that much

[DJ]

I already have the first two on DVD, so seeing the special features yet against isn't that necessary.

[Genki]

I loved the first two, and although the third one was a step down, it wasn't all bad. I know there was a conflict of interest, so hopefully there's some deleted scenes and/or a directors cut.

[C_SoL]

do you guys know if there gonna be a Spiderman 4. cause if there is, it would be stupid buying the trilogy unless you really want it as of now. but anyways i'm still getting the movie.

[Whoooop]

The last thing I heard was that the cast were willing to play another part on another Spidey movie, but a spiderman 4 was uncertain.

When spiderman 2 was in theaters they were already working on the third and it got released 3 years later. When spiderman 3 premiered the forth one wasn't even in plans. Sooo IF there's going to be another SM expect it in 2010 or even later. MO anyways.

[FirstknighT]

Well so far their isn't nothing planned for part 4. Sam Raimi was only doing 3 so if their is a fourth, you might see a new director and a new cast. Almost like the old Batman movies. The new Hulk movie coming out also has a new director and a new lead for Bruce Banner.

[Blitzed]

FirstKnight, you need to check your facts. Sony has publicly said there will be at least 6 movies. Number 4 is definitely confirmed.

They are currently looking for a writer and Rami hasn't heard wether they want him to direct, but he will at least have a producer role. Of course, no definite word on cast or villains although Rami and Ari have both said they want the Lizard. Other rumors include Kraven, Electro and Carnage, as well as the Sinister Six (thats what Rami wants).

[bootsielon]

Because it would suck as much as Xmen 4 would suck if it was made, since there's no way to correct the horrible plot discontinuities in any. lol

[Nostradavis]

It may not suck. If they bring in some new blood and change things up like the new batman movie did for that franchise....

[Tyrael]

Doesn't matter. Spider Man 3 was a bad movie. Seriously, i'm not one to fill the boards with unnecessary opinions and flamebait, but I just can't get over how bad the movie was. Tobey, I know it's not your fault, but the little emo streak your script had you go through was immature. Topher, I have lost all respect for you after your dismal attempt to portray Eddie Brock, and more importantly, a collective Venom. Kirsten Dunst, well I think Stewie put it best - butter face. Just about the only good thing to come out of this movie was the pleasant performance of Bryce Dallas Howard

[Nostradavis]

All in all the trilogy is great though as a whole....

[Snukadaman]

So are you a comics fan or a regular movie fan...becuase their point of views always make a difference...im a comic book fan and I have enjoyed every cominc book movie ...yes even daredevil...I have still not watched spiderman 3 and plan on buying the dvd version.

[FirstknighT]

If your a comic book fan than you might be a lil dissapointed with Spiderman 3. Just the fact that Venom SUCKED ASS!!!! Sandman was dope tho' and the whole Peter Parker losing control and ripping his costume off the top of the clock tower is pretty loyal to the comics. But Venom should of been one of the coolest villians ever and it wasn't even close. Maybe I was just spoiled by the brilliance of the first one only to be topped by the second one. But I'm also a comic book fan and have enjoyed most comic book movies. Punisher and the Hulk were one of my favs.

BTW Snuka, if you are really a comic book fan than why haven't you seen Spiderman 3?

[Baba1906]

i love comics but the third spiderman movie was not good in my eyes. there was too much going on and not enough time to tell it properly. and well didn't like it being so moral and patriotic. why did he have to pose infront of an american flag with godlike sunshine illuminating him? it was things like that that made me feel unconfortable. i loved the first one was amazing. the second one was reall good too.

[Snukadaman]

well I havent seen fantastic 4 either or part 2...so...maybe that says something...every said they both suck...but i guess im waiting for them too hit dvd....Im so much of a comic geek that i know 30 days into night started as a black and white comic...in fact i have it somewhere in my collection...If it matters i had spider man on bootleg and didnt watch it..lol.

first knight..you mean how peter parker was in that bell tower trying too get the symbiote off...that was made in secret wars...yea man..i told you i got my comic book geek cred...lol.

[FirstknighT]

I own the 12 issues of the Secret Wars. I also own most of the 30 nights graphic novels. I don't collect comics like I used too but I still buy the graphic novel collections and just read them. Just bought Steve Niles (30 Nights) take on I Am Legend. I recommend Rising Stars. One of the best superhero stories I have ever read.

[skynidas]

definitely picking this up

[IdontTakeSides]

Spiderman was not as good as the second one..but it's not as terrible as ppl are making out to be...Transformers was not that great either but it was watchable..!!!same with spidey 3..!!

[Bathyj]

I got this last month. Its awesome, one of the best quality movies yet. And it was only 50% more than the cost of one movie by itself. Great deal.

Really looking forward to some Pixar at the end of the year. Thats going to end this war on its own, when Disney fires the big guns. How about some Lion King BR goodness.

[aggh im on fire]

i liked the first two but thought 3rd one was pants. Will look nice in 1080p though.

[gh0st1492]

First off, I am a huge fan of HD DVD (bring on the hate, whatever). That being said I was really looking forward to the release of Spiderman 3 on Blu-ray, to see if there camp was gonna put there money where there mouth is and deliver the end all be all Blu-ray disc. So I ask you all, where is the "exclusive" HD bonus content!?!? With a combined total of 75Gb at there disposal (50Gb for disc one & 25Gb for disc two) No online features. No PiP comentary. No interactive features. No shameless Spider Man F.o.F PS3 Demo? Now I'm not saying the Movie isn't going to look and sound wonderful, but when I think of next gen discs, I'm looking beyond picture and sound. Especially when I can get the same movie for $15-17 bucks on sale, upconvert it, and never no what I'm missing audio wise, since my reciever doesn't decode Dolby True HD. (Which I hear is the slightly better of the two english audio tracks on the disc)

[Snukadaman]

I recently purchased my hd-dvd player just yesterday...from that best buy deal..where you get 8 hd-dvds and heroes for free...and watched king king and was impressed..only thing that bothered me was that crappy controller they give you with the player... its like..slow its irritating too press for the u control bits..other then that the movie was amazing ...got transformers and knocked up for free also.

[Lucreto]

I don't need any extra features in my movie enjoyment. I don't have that much time to go through the extra content just watch the movie. Delete scenes are good but now essential.

Who knows they may bring some on-line content in the future.

[Lucreto]

I have ordered Spiderman Trilogy two weeks ago and it cost me €62 and I should have it by now but Bloody Customs have sized it and I have to pay another €18 to get it.

[mighty_douche]

dont actual think much of the films, especially number 3, they total f*cked up Venom IMO. but im a sucker for HD at the minute and im not sure what i paid but i know i got them off the net for a bargin!

[timmyrulz]

The f*&k are dvd reveiws been posted on a gaming site? Pro ps3 people are desperate, its not just this article though, all i see are "10 reasons to get a ps3, 10 reasons to not get an xbox, why the ps3 is superior etc etc so on and so forth" sony dont need to employ marketing staff, they just blag you lemmings into doing the job for them,it would be so nice to see positive articles about every console. each console have good points as well as bad points, be a gamer not a fan boy!!

Transformers HD DVD Sales Story...
http://www.n4g.com/industry...

Please don't go there. This is news to PS3 owners just like HD DVD news is wanted by 360 owners for the most part...actually even MORE SO since the ps3 has Blu-ray built in. I own both systems and I am not biased towards either...the sad thing is, on this site, I constantly feel the need to state that.

[THE_JUDGE]

you don't rule the site so get the f*ck over it!

[Chriswsm]

Already have 1+2 on DVD and I do not believe the quality of Bluray is worthy of buying them again on a slightly better format.

[THE_JUDGE]

the first two were the best comic to movie adapations ever but the 3rd was terrible. Mildly entertaining but terrible none the less. To have these on Blu-ray would be freaking killer!

[season007]

this trilogy pack can sell for 3 discs at a time(not sure if they count the 4th one...)...and a month later , POTC is gonna sell for another 3 discs at a time...hmm

The math is quite simple there
