Spider-Man DVD Disc 2: Stinks

posted on november 8, 2002, tag: entertainment

I loved Spider-Man. I saw it twice in theaters, and wanted to go a third time, but I was told this wasn't something "adults" do with their lives. When I heard the release date for the DVD, I instantly began dreaming about that second disc... how wonderful it would be to see all that behind-the-scenes magic that made Spidey come to live on the big screen in such a fantastic way.

Naturally, I bought the DVD the first chance I got a day or two after it was released. When I got home, the first thing I popped in was that second disc. Having read the content listing from the package on the way home, I was extremely rushed to see what it contained.

But alas, the second disc... well... sucks. Every feature is about 30-90 seconds long, save the HBO Making Of Special, which on its own is interesting but lacking. There's no heavy-duty special-effects features, nothing showing the man who played Spidey in the suit doing all of the insane flipping around, just plain nothing.

When a movie like Spider-Man comes out on DVD, there should be no question whether or not it will be busting with amazing features. Someone really messed up here.
