Rating: 3.0
Great movies. Cheap treatment on Blu-Ray (no features on the first or second movie??).
So, I'll make this relatively brief:The movies themselves are great. No bones about it.However, the discs themselves leave a lot to be desired. It seems like the studio rushed this set into production and cheaped out on it. The first two movies have almost precisely zero special features. Completely barebones other than trailers for Ghost Rider & Surf's Up. Neither particularly interesting movies. The third movie has all the special features one would expect on a DVD or Blu-Ray release. But it hardly makes up for the utter lack of features on the first 2 discs of the series.Clearly, the studio has produces Blu-Rays with all the Special Features one would expect for Spiderman1and2and3. So, I really have no idea why the studio cheaped out on this set and didn't include all the discs with the special features that clearly EXIST. Perhaps they had excess stock of the "barebones" releases because they were crap and not selling so they wanted to get rid of them? I really don't know.Suffice it to say, this is not the "ultimate set" that any and every collector would be lusting after.In my opinion, I overpaid for this set, considering the total lack of features on 2/3 of the movies. And also considering I already own the special editions on DVD, which came with all the features you could ever want. I had hoped this would be an "upgrade." However, it felt more like a downgrade on account of losing all the features, rather than an upgrade from getting better picture quality.I'd even go so far as to say anyone who wants all the features should boycott this release until the studio comes out with a TRUE "ultimate collection" making use of the 3 "complete" (read: feature-rich) sets. You'd probably be better off buying the 3 individual releases of parts 1, 2 & 3 listed above, rather than this somewhat pathetic "[in]complete" set.My hope is that by this set not sellign well, the studio will get the message and make the actual "ultimate edition" everyone wants. They clearly have the sets to do it. They just need to swap out which sets they include. Swap in the two sets with features in place of the two barebones sets. Problem solved...So, again, overall bottom line: good movies, bad features. Vote with your money. Buy the individual releases with the features rather than this collection without the features.
