The Amazing Spider-Man [Blu-Ray] (English audio. English subtitles)

Amazon is substituting a narrated version of The Amazing Spiderman. The voice over telling you everything that is happening on screen is not mentioned in the product write up and it spoils the movie for me, a non-visual-challenged person. And Amazon makes it nearly impossible to return or replace the product with a normal version. Hopefully someone will pay attention to this write-up and contact me. I am bummed about being out $14 for a video that I can't enjoy.

Andrew Garfield is such an underrated actor in this part. The chemistry between him and Emma Stone alone sets this film above any other Spider-Man film. Unlike the Tobey McGuire films (joyless, depressed, with acting that is often sub-par) and the Tom Holland films (Tony Stark groupie, repeating the same mistakes over and over, relentless immaturity), the Andrew Garfield films are joyful, independent, emotionally charged, and action packed. Hopefully, Garfield's performance in (SPOILER) No Way Home will bring new fans to these fantastic movies.

Well as a golden age comic fan and growing up reading the original spider man comics as a boy I was happy to see the first spider man movie hit the screens but I had a couple problems with it but overall a great portrayal of the superhero Spider-Man and loved old Toby in them, even liked the third one even though it could have been better... Fast forward to The Amazing Spider-Man and its 2013 and I waited until now to finally watch it because I didn't see the need to go back to Spider-Man's beginning story and the first movie had a better portrayed uncle Bens death story.. But it wasn't too big a difference to lower my opinion of The Amazing Spider-Man but the one thing above all else they got right the Toby movies didn't was that Spider-Man did not hoot webs from within his arms and the who,e thing with the two fingered pressed into the palms thing had a reason which is that Peter Parker made web shooting gadgets that used capsules and a pressure plate under his gloves to activate the shooting of the webs and this movie definitely got that right and is more accurate to true Spider-Man origins and his powers so great job on that but I also love the way the web capsules were explained in the movie as several hundred yards could be contained in a small capsule and that was greatly explained in this movie as well... Now that I watched it I'm going too order the four disc set as it definitely has a place in our massive DVD/BluRay collection of over 1500 titles and I just ordered a brand new 3D LED/LCD TV in a 50" inch size so the TV will be here the day before the 3D combo set gets here so ill get back to you on the 3D version and now I am hoping they do make a sequel to the Amazing Spider-Man and if there is we won't wait until later to buy and watch it because we very much enjoyed this reselling of a classic super hero character, we still love the original movies too and they are each great in their own right

This movie, like the Spider-man comic, has the heart that makes the character so great and separates it from so many other superheroes.Comparing this movie to the previous films is like comparing Batman Begins to the Batman Schumacher films and for me and for me, ASM is much better. I didn't see this movie in the theater because I'm burnt out on origins and was excited for this, I should have seen it in the theaters. Amazing Spider-man brings a huge plus to the franchise that has not yet been done (in my opinion) and that is believable emotion.The interaction between the characters and the acting from the actors feels like it makes sense and is something that is very real as opposed to cliche situations that are trying to mimic what happened in comic world. I've read Lee and Ditko and I do not want to see that pulled directly onto the screen because it doesn't work as well.Parker's evolution is fantastic. It's a transformation that felt genuine and made the moment when Peter embraces his responsibility so much more believable and therefore more meaningful and rewarding.The character work is fantastic and where the movie lacks in with larger set pieces. Spider-man's action sequences use his powers and webbing creatively but lack and kinetic energy. The fighting is more background noise rather exciting. The sequences lacked the tension they could have had but were still fun and definitely did not detract from the movie enough to knock it down from its "Amazing" status.

My grandson was spending the night and wanted to rent a movie. I typically let him pick it out but require that it be at least somewhat interesting to me. We loved the movie. So much so that my daughter, grandson, and I recently went to the local cinema to see the newly released Spiderman movie. Incredible!

This is an excellent movie for adults and young adults alike. The special effects are outstanding and the action is driving, but not at the expense of extraordinary depth and emotion. It is an example of excellent movie making. Some critics panned the performance of Andrew Garfield, saying his performance doesn't stand up to that of Sally Field's, but that isn't true. He plays the poignant moments with skill and the ability to nuance his vocal and facial expression to fit the required tone and emotion with exceeding success. A fun movie with no bad language that even emphasizes moral responsibility- but without being condescending. With outstanding performances by Emma Stone, Sally Fields, and Martin Sheet, this is a movie with performances by an ensemble cast that works to produce a fantastic movie. It would be great for middle school kids too, keeping in mind their individual sensitivity to a lot of intensive fighting and action. These moments are not gratuitous or excessive in any way, but are intense. It is refreshing to see that Hollywood is still capable of making action movies that are suitable for kids and also moving and sophisticated enough to truly draw in and entertain adults. This one is truly a good addition to any home movie collection.

im really gay and hes rly hot

Another Spiderman movie, another spiderman franchise and another person playing spiderman. But oddly after the 70's spiderman movies, then the Toby Mcguire movies, you would think this would be the same old. In fact its fresher, cleaner and more fun to watch than all the others before it. This movie is hard hitting, fast paced and well made. Time to choose.....!

This is actually one of my favourite Spiderman movies and certainly far better than Spiderman 3 and the Spiderboy Tom Holland movie, in my opinion, and this is probably the most faithful movie depiction of the Web slinger, and thought the soundtrack was good also, so i don't really understand some peoples negativity towards this movie.

I really enjoyed this. I'm a fan of superhero films anyway, though I'm not specifically a Spidey fan. I felt fairly unenthusiastic about the previous Spider-Man trilogy and by the third one I kind of hated Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker.So when this reboot came along I didn't expect much, especially a reboot of a franchise so recently done-to-death.Turns out, I really enjoyed it.Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker is an updated version of the classic comic-book version. And I think that went a long way to making him much more relatable for me. The storyline is really well paced and whereas the previous Spider-Man often felt somewhat indulgent, this one is lean and mean in all the right places.It doesn't over-use CGI, and plays a nice hand with the way Spider develops through the inevitable "discovering powers" scenes.Another comparison is the one-off-love between Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker and MJ, andAndrew Garfield's Peter Parker and Gwen. Maguire's Parker made me want to slap him, repeatedly. Garfield's Parker made me genuinely feel like this guy was having to make some tough choices during/after a period of turmoil.

I have loved Sam Raimi films ever since I first watched “Evil Dead”, So I was very thrilled to hear that he would direct the Spiderman film (2002), I was excited and he delivered, Spiderman 2 is actually my favorite, but Spiderman 3 was not too good, So with the collapse of Spiderman 4 and 5 during pre – production, Raimi walked away, So then Marc Webb directs the Reboot, honestly they have been a lot of Negative’s and Positives being thrown around about the reboot, but I liked it, Webb did a very good Job with this, the 3D is not the best out there, but it ain’t the worst either, story wise I felt it was well paced.The Blu-Ray package is very nice, it consists of 2 Blu Ray discs, the second Blu Ray disc is packed with features, this is what is not specified here on Amazon, the first disc of this set has both the 3D and 2D versions of the movie, they are both on the same disc, just pop it in and select the version you want.The Video is flawless, Crisp and Very detailed, The Audio is well timed and detailed too.SPECIFICATIONSVideoCodec: MPEG-4 MVCResolution: 1080pAspect ratio: 2.40:1Original aspect ratio: 2.39:1AudioEnglish: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1French: Dolby Digital 5.1Spanish: Dolby Digital 5.1SubtitlesEnglish, English SDH, French, SpanishDiscs50GB Blu-ray Disc2 Disc set (2 BD's)UV digital copy

I really liked this film. More story focused than love interest focused than the Sam Raimi films. Yeah - if you want a smart, action-packed, well-acted film, well-written film then you should buy this blu ray which for me cost around £2,50.
