Amazon.co.uk Review
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

Synopsis
Features the adventures of the famous webslinger as he battles numerous adversaries in SPIDER-MAN, SPIDER-MAN 2, and SPIDER-MAN 3.
In SPIDER-MAN, high school student Peter Parker gets bitten by a genetically modified spider whilst on a school trip to a University laboratory. Overnight Peter develops supernatural powers and extreme strength. At first he uses his new talents for his own material gain but Peter eventually comes to the conclusion that he must use his new found abilities to fight evil as the super-hero Spider-Man.
In SPIDER-MAN 2, Peter Parker is having problems with his double life as the superhero Spider-Man and as things get worse he decides never to be Spider-Man again. It's only when the scientist Dr Otto Octavius becomes deformed in a freak accident into Dr Octopus that he realises that only Spider-Man can stop him.
In SPIDER-MAN 3, the webbed superhero and his girlfriend, Mary Jane, get embroiled in a love triangle while he is forced to confront a new slate of dastardly villains and a power that changes his very personality.
