Brief Rundown Of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Blu-Ray Special Features Revealed

No extended cut? Poor, [frick]ing piss poor Sony!

i'm gonna buy this,it was good but it could of been better.

1st the avengers
2nd the dark knight rises
3rd the amazing spider-man

Does it include dvd like most BD's ?

I have a feeling the directors cut with all the genetic testing stuff was ass and thats why it was taken out

People saw this piece of shit in theaters? LMAO

Totally disappointed in this film.. Once he got Spidey powers it got lame :/
Except the part when he swings with the help of construction workers

@marvel72- Take it Ghost Rider 2 doesn't exist to you. If so, the feeling's mutual.

Me too. Just pre-ordered the Phase One limited edition box set and I'm getting this bad boy as well.

@TheMarvelite

Nolanites are just pissed off that TDKR sucked and while it is indeed making more money than TASM in the North America, it's underperforming, while TASM is performing like a successful reboot in the domestic box office and as a full blown blockbuster in the foreign markets. This is unprecedented in the story of any reboot.

Movie is brilliant, and Marc Webb is coming back. DC fanboys are delusional a-holes that bad mouth every Marvel property out of jealousy, nothing new in the front.

@TheMarvelite- Just because someone is a Spidey fan, doesn't mean they have to like everything Spidey-related. I'm a huge fan of the character, yet I hate One More Day. Does that mean I'm not a fan?

iJackSparrow: Why are you bringing TDKR into this? Looking for an argument...

Day 1 BUY FOR ME!

@CaptainObvious Yeah. One More Day should have been pretty disappointing for any Spidey fan. The idea was to get Spider-Man back to his roots and look where he's at now: living large, working for a fancy, schmancy lab, and Aunt May is rarely even seen in the stories anymore. Where are the Average Joe problems that Peter Parker used to have?

Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) makes the 4th place of Newsarama's Best Comic Book-Based Films of ALL TIME. But what made me very happy was what they had to say about the film, and I couldn't agree more with:

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (2012)
Studio: Sony. Director: Marc Webb. Stars: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone

What Makes It Great:

When it originally debuted on this list, it knocked Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man 2" out of the Top 10 entirely. That may have seemed a little harsh at the time, but Raimi's "Spider-Mans" already weren't aging very well and Marc Webb's "Amazing Spider-Man" just accelerated the process to critical mass.

"Amazing" is superior to the original three Spidey features in every conceivable way - better lead actors, better supporting actors, better action and special effects, and yes, better origin story.

Fans complaining that 10 years was too soon to retell the origin might have to reevaluate when they realize "Amazing" tells a much better origin story. In fact, we here at Newsarama think "Amazing" tells the best Spider-Man origin story ever, and yes, we're including the comic books too [ducks, runs for cover.]

The retelling/remixing of origins is a tried and true comic book tradition. Not sure why "Amazing" is any different.

"Amazing Spider-Man" is cool, contemporary, and accessible. It gives comic book fans exactly what they want (the best-realized Spider-Man action yet, a path to more Spidey films in the future) and probably what they didn't know they needed (Garfield and Stone frankly mop the floor with Maguire and Dunst).

Stand-Out Scene:

Anything with Garfield and Stone together. Their chemistry is evident and Stone continues to emerge as one of the brightest, most dynamic and appealing young stars of her generation.

I wholeheartedly agree with this, and it's funny because I've said this before on different forum boards: The Amazing Spider-Man's origin story is better than any other origin story that Spider-Man ever had - comics, film or any other media-, and that's one of the film's greatest feats to me as a Spider-Man fan.

I liked this movie....but I expected it to be much better. I will get this one it comes out on Blu Ray!

SN: Yes, let's all forget that GR:SOV ever got released!lol

@TheIrishAvenger

I'm not looking for an argument. It's clear that those that are badmouthing this film to no end are the same ones trying to make a Marvel vs. DC war and taking all the fun out of these films. You are also a part of that, feeding this stupid wars. We are all on the same side here, but since we are all free to make these stupid arguments, I also want a TDKR extended cut. One where the movie doesn't suck monkey balls would be great.

@MarvelWeiner One could only hope...lol

@SpiderJosh- The problem I have with OMD (Besides everything else wrong with it) is that this was the perfect opportunity to kill of Aunt May. Yes, she's a great character and a moral guide for Peter, but considering the fact that she doesn't do anything anymore in the comics, it probably would have been better to send her off. Plus, it would've developed Peter into a better character. I know alot of fans don't want to hear this, but here it is: Peter Parker is a selfish character.

He is an adult, but still has the midset of a teenager. He never learns from his mistakes, which is a good reason loved ones die all the time. Everytime something tragic happens, he doesn't try to better himself or just whines about how terrible his life is. That's where the selfish part comes in.

When Aunt May was dying and Mary Jane suggested that they let her go, Peter kept bringing up that he would never be able to forgive himself and he would be broken. Never once in this story does he think about what anything would mean for his own WIFE. He was only thinking for himself when he made the deal. Instead of choosing the woman who has vowed to spend the rest of her life with him, he chooses his mother-figure, who is probably going to die in a few years, anyway.

I wanted Peter to mature and change for the better if May died. In fact, if Peter was truly mature, he would've let Tony Stark take him to the authorities on the account that Aunt May receives proper medical care. But no, Marvel insists that Spidey be taken back to square one and never actuall grow up. Which is hypocritical since Peter is supposed to relate to his readers. What about the readers who grow up, graduate college, get a job, get married, and have kids? Are they supposed to be left in the dust while Spidey stays an adult with a teenage mind for another 50 years instead of an adult with an adult mind?

The point of OMD is that Peter will always remain a momma's boy. He will always put himself over his spouse. And it is a slap in the face of the idea that even the geek can get the girl.

Sorry for that rant.

@iJackSparrow

Oh wow, newsarama chose The Dark Knight trilogy as the current best comic book movies? Cool.

I've still to see TASM.

Is there anyway I can get the deleted scenes to play with the movie?

no deleted scenes? mmmm

@Chloefornication

SURE. You have a Spider-Man avatar = You're a Spider-Man fan.

Nolanites think that people are stupid. :D

Wow just cause of RT makes it a fact? It's a movie and you can form your own opinion, there is no fact. Marvelites AND nolanites bash this film, if it's not made by marvel studios it's crap. That's their logic lol. Half the people that say it sucks really bad, I bet they haven't even seen it or went in wanting to hate it. I can see some of the disappointment in the villian and the fact that it's another orgin. But honestly this spiderman film was more dimensional and had more story and better reasoning as to why he becomes spiderman. It's. Rating on RT is shallow and a lot of the critcs that disliked it don't even no Spiderman is based off of matrieal. They just don't like the fact that it had the same plot beats of the orginal, they don't explain the technical issues the acting issues. The only legitimate critques are it's pacing, and the villian that's all I heard that means anything.

i saw this six times
i would love an extended/director's cut
if not, deleted scenes are good enough for me


@novaprime - i'd like to give you my thoughts on your thoughts if i may

"I WISH PETEY WOULDNT TAKE OFF HIS MASK SO MUCH AND SHOW HIMSELF TO THE HOLE WORLD"

i did not mind this really because, as it turns out, nobody of importance ended up really knowing who he is and are gonna do anything 'bout it. no, there was no potential antagonist who figured out spidey's secret identity by him taking off his mask. didja really think they would write something like that into the script for themselves? it's not like peter did something that he's really never done before in the comics like tell the "whole world" who he is. something that never really has been a part of his character.(rdjr.'s tony stark, i'm looking at you :)

"AND I HATED THE WAY HE FOUND OUT HE HAD HIS POWERS IN THE TRAIN"

i enjoyed that bit. for the very first time peter discovers that something is very messed up with him is involving him getting into a scuffle right away? hell yeah. that's kinda crazy and new.

"I WISH THERE WERE MORE FIGHTING SCENES"

i was pleased. there were many action and fight scenes.

"AND NO STUPID 30 SEC SCENES WITH SPIDY JUST LOOKING AND WAITING FOR THE LIZARD"

as spidey can "do whatever a spider can", he was doing what a spider does. if 30 seconds without action is unbearable nowadays, i think i'm in trouble :)

i think we went through a "golden age" of cbms. i would say that we would be in the "silver age" of cbms right now. i'm going to propose with blade 1 as the starting out point?

I did not like The Amazing Spider-man. It was okay, but it didn't give me anything new aside from tone. I do think the sequels have great potential. I didn't think there would be much when it came to deleted scenes though, I thought Webb said there were only about four or so that were shot.
