The first Spider-Man movie introduced Tobey Maguire in the title role and was a strong opener for the franchise that laid the path towards the inevitable sequel. And what a sequel Spider-Man 2 was: genuinely expanding on the ground of the first film, and introducing the best villain of the series to date with Doctor Octopus, it remains a very high peak for the franchise. Film three? Not so good, with three villains fighting for attention and Spidey hardly at his best. It was still a decent film, just not up to the standards of those that preceded it.
Whichever your favourite of the films is, you’re still likely to be blown away by its Blu-ray transfer. Given that the movies are among the most expensive of the past decade to make, it’s unsurprising that they’re packed with details, and that they splatter the screen with colour, action and frenetic swinging through the city streets.
