Sony Pictures | 2007 | 139 mins | Rated PG-13 | Oct 30, 2007
Spider-Man 3(2007)Action | Adventure | Sci-Fi | Thriller     Peter Parker has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. and his duties as a superhero. But there is a storm brewing on the horizon. When his suit suddenly changes, turning jet-black and enhancing his powers, it transforms Peter as well, bringing out the dark, vengeful side of his personality that he is struggling to control. Under the influence of the suit, Peter becomes overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care about him most. Forced to choose between the seductive power of the new suit and the compassionate hero he used to be, Peter must overcome his personal demons as two of the most-feared villains yet, Sandman and Venom, gather unparalleled power and a thirst for retribution to threaten Peter and everyone he loves. For more details about Spider-Man 3 on Blu-ray, see the Spider-Man 3 Blu-ray Review Starring: Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco Director: Sam Raimi Spider-Man 3 Blu-ray, Video Quality  Action movies rely heavily on dynamic video, and the 1080p presentation of Spider-Man 3 framed in 2.40:1 is essential to view the special effects, stylized colors and costumes. DVD simply cannot do justice to this films. The level of detail and depth on Blu-ray is extraordinary, with tremendous definition in the cityscapes, costumes, special effects and sets. Even microdetail in skin and clothing is extraordinary. For example, in the scene in the skyscraper where the models are posing for the camera, the skin of the women shows remarkable definition in their facial expressions as the horror of a runaway crane quickly unfolds around them. Everywhere in the picture, the detail is apparent. Watch the way Parker swings through Manhattan like a modern day Tarzan. Every pixel is rendered convincingly to show the detail, speed and power that bursts from the screen during these action sequences. The camera follows Parker closely as buildings, traffic and streets far below sail past with lightning speed. Every bit of the 1080p resolution is required to convincingly pull off this effect. And what a stunning effect it is. I can think of few other BDs to show off the quality of the format as effectively. Usually, CGI-stylized scenes are lacking in depth and other cues of visual realism, but not here. Scenes with less motion are equally detailed, but the small grain is highly visible, especially in light areas. This was a welcome sight for me. I was afraid some type of digital noise reduction would be used to wipe the video clean. That approach would remove the grain, but also take away some life from the picture. Not so. The video is dynamic, with such definition that facial expressions yield tremendous detail. Watch the scene where James Franko faces off with himself in the mirror. His expressions convey the intensity of his character's emotions, and the 1080p allows us to see Harry's full acting range during his transition into the Green Goblin. Spider-Man 3 Blu-ray, Audio Quality Initially, Sony was including PCM on their newer releases but has since stopped doing that. Yes, I know that Dolby TrueHD is "theoretically" the same as lossless PCM. But in my experience with audio, theory and reality are not best friends. This PCM track is significantly better than most TrueHD tracks I have heard. The soundstage is strong and cohesive with instrumentation, voices and sound effects rendered gorgeously and with heart-stopping dynamics that can go from a whisper to a tremendous crescendo that rocks the floorboards and windows. The spotlighting on certain strings in the orchestral arrangements sounds solid and sweet in the midrange, especially in the more dramatic scenes where the music really is layed on thick. The surround channels and subwoofer are used to very dramatic effect. Perhaps the greatest feature of the audio is the soundstaging of the 5.1 mix. All sounds have very precise imaging and provide a convincing illusion of the action taking place all around. Within this soundstage, individual voices and sound effects have good tonal characteristics. The original engineering--microphone placement and recording of both voices and other sounds--goes beyond the quality of most films. Voices have a distinct charm and resonance to them. Sam Raimi uses the score very effectively--from sweeping orchestral passages to the aforementioned James Brown track "People Get Up Drive That Funky Soul", which features one of the beafiest horn arrangements ever recorded. Throughout the trilogy, the audio, as much as the actors, sets the mood and complements the drama of each scene. Bottom line: the audio is warm, dynamic and open. Best of all, it images with pinpoint accuracy.
