HTF REVIEW: "Spider-Man" (with screenshots) (1 Viewer)

[BarryS]

This DVD looked fine to me. I didn't notice any problems with the transfer. But I don't have quite as nice a setup as Ron.

The movie was fun, but a bit of a letdown. I will not be purchasing it.

great review Ron, now if only the R4 CE would follow next I am happy as ever. Been a fan for long time, gotta admit though that I was expecting more.

oh well

 

[Dave H]

Yeah, I don't know what I will be doing. I know this DVD will be selling cheap, but surely a Superbit will be coming along and probably significantly better.

I am sure this is why a lower bit rate was used, as well. It sounds like the video and audio presentation of this DVD is setting up for a Superbit.

 

[JeffreyMercado]

I really would have thought that since you visited them you would have heard about a SuperBit. I am not going to buy this and I think we should ban buying this and rent at BBV. That way their hurt sales will move them to inform us of the upcoming release. Why be forthcoming on info about Panic Room and clam up about this. I am greatly disappointed at Columbia. I will not be buying this crap.

Who Am I Kidding?

Ron,

Dumb question here. When you say original theatrical
trailer, is that the one with the World Trade Center in the end.

I beleive its the third trailer released a month before the movie was out.. teh short one minute preview.. not the teaser or the preview from lord of the rings.

Dang, im kinda dissapointed in the lack of dynamic sound in the surrounds. This film DESERVES to have an awesome rear surround track, imean he's flying everyhwere.. too bad...
Here's hoping this might get superbitted at least to fix the less-than-top-notch video. I expected this DVD to be the next refrerence DVD, and was gonna purchase it. Now i might wait awhile to see if theres any news of another edition, maybe superbit?
Great review yet again ron!

 

[Neil Joseph]

Thanks for the review once again Ron. I am really looking forward to this although I am sorry to hear about the extras all being 4x3 (oh well). I may be able to get this tomorrow so it will be in my player by then. Nice pictures by the way.

What are you waiting for? Close your browser
and go out and buy this!

What am I waiting for? Actually I'm waiting for it to be released. (Nine days, and counting!)

 

[Scooter]

In my bedroom, for YEARS now I have had my Spiderman phone...and until I was 25 I had a subscription to the comic. Suffice to say....this flick got me outta The ScootPlex2000 and into a ...shudder...theater.

Obviously this disc is coming home! Thanks Ron for the sneak peek here!

P.S. Dunno how many of you saw the Spiderman 9/11 issue/story...but in that medium...remarkably touching!

'nuff said!

 

[Rick_E]

No thanks.

Think I'll wait for the inevitable superbit.

I'm getting this one through Blockbuster via their "Superman Rental Card" for $29.99 --- so basically it's "free" with 10 rentals.

So if there's a Superbit later, I won't be kicking myself so hard.

 

[TonyD]

"Superman Rental Card" for $29.99 ---

what struck me as funny about that quote is that in the very first issue of amazing spider-man he was called "superman" in one panel and it was never fixed.

[Art Martinez]

WOW! Great review Ron, as usual. I will be picking this up and watching it over and over and over, at least until LOTR:EE and Clones get released!


Off topic a bit, did the 73 Olds. Delta appear in Rami's "The Quick and the Dead", and if so what scene?

Thanx in advance.

four outtakes of the dvd

 

[Dave H]

Unfortunately, the full screen has the better cover.

 

[Dave Scarpa]

I Traded in two really rotten DVD's at EB and I get Spiderman Free, so I won't mind if I have to buy a Superbit at some later point.

 

[Craig LeBlanc]

Same here, traded in a couple DVDs that came with my player... plus the GF would have forced me to buy it anyways.
