Just got done watching "Spider-Man" and "Spider-Man 3" on Blu-ray
Spider-Man 1
Sorry to say but I wasn't impressed at all, especially when comparing it to Part 3 which has a similar look (colour, contrast etc.) but looks just much more like High-Def. The first one looks murky in many places and rarely does the picture pop like with other recent big-budget-blockbusters. Sony obviously didnt do a new transfer and so the blu-ray-disc has the same problems the dvd had (which didnt look very good to begin with). Dont get me wrong, the picture isn't really bad, but it should have been much better, considering the movie is only 5 years old and is one of the highest grossing movies of all time.
Picture: 6.5/10
Spider-Man 3
Now we're talking - this is how the first one should have looked as well. The image is razor sharp, very detailed (apart from a few darker shots) and has lots and lots of HD-Wow-Moments. Despite some odd colour & contrast choices by the filmmakers the picture quality is up there with the best of them. The AVC-Bitrate usually hovers between 25 and 35 MBit/s.
Picture. 9.5/10
Spider-Man 2
I only glanced at part 2 but it looks to in the middle, picture quality wise.
ps: there was a trailer on there for the movie "vantage point" (some polit-thriller with dennis quaid and a whole buch of other big moviestarts) and that trailer had the best 5.1-mix I have ever heard on a trailer - unbelievable.
