    Spiderman audio...

    Rented this over the weekend. I found the audio wanting, especially in the low end department. Did I have a bad disc or something ?

    As for the film... well it was okay.

    I haven't bought the disc yet so, can't comment on the audio at home. However, when I saw this film at the theater, I had the same feelings about it's sound.

    Growing up on Spiderman, I too felt the movie could have been better from the writing aspect. With it being the "Pilot" so to speak, I tried to understand that a new generation was seeing it for the first time, in a much different era.Which may justify why it was written this way.

    The CGI I thought was pretty good. Especially with Spidey not having perfect control of his body during the swinging scenes. Of course, some of the graphic work could have been better too. Like the "Green Goblin" himself.

      I pretty much agree with your comments, John.

        Audio certainly not exceptional. I saw it in a VERY crappy mall theater originally, so I can't comment on the theatrical sound, but the DVD is merely fair for me.

        Here's a real goofy CGI fact for you. The knit ski mask Parker is wearing for the wrestling and later car chase, all the shots where he is chasing the criminal, the mask is CGI'ed onto Toby MacGuire's head. Bizarre. Only reason I can think is, when he's doing all the active stuff, they wanted to be sure the opening did not slip around and obscure his eyes or get out of whack.

        I thought the movement animation on CGI spiderman was great. Really conveyed the feeling of comic frames.

          I noticed the audio (esp. LFE) was on the weak side but it was strong in the trailer, go figure... :roll:

          At first I wasn't sure if my sub was working right but then I put the trailer on and Whoa Nellie! Yep it was working!

            Couldn't find a thread on this yet, so we'll talk here. For the next 24 hours, there's HD teaser footage on NBC's website, www.nbc.com

            In this episode, we see the return of the Green Goblin, and I think if I remember right, we're also going to see the Sandman.

            Let's hope...

            The Amazing Spiderman 2 review
            by madmac
            It was a toss up between renting this film or 'Noah' and I chose this one because I have liked the Spiderman series of films. This one is by far the weakest of the Spiderman series I've seen. This movie is aimed at 13-14 year boys....full of action and special effects. I felt at certain times that I...

            The purpose of this review is to give my opinion of what I witnessed and observed based on 3 different days of listening to the SSP-800. Please keep in mind that I have never heard this room before, so I can not say how it would sound under any other variable.
