The Amazing Spider-Man Blu-ray Review

Mastered In 4K

Score: 63

from 2 reviewers

Review Date:

The Amazing Spider-Man impresses with its deep character study, polished action, and superior visual effects; while Sony's 4K Blu-ray offers slight picture enhancements, most won't need to double dip.

Video: 84

The Amazing Spider-Man's Mastered in 4K Blu-ray exhibits superior detail and sharpness with a significantly higher bitrate, but the visual differences from the previous excellent transfer are minimal, making it a marginal upgrade unless paired with Sony's proprietary 4K upscaling technology.

Audio: 74

The Amazing Spider-Man's DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack delivers thrilling Superhero sound with precise effects, immersive environments, powerful yet balanced bass, and clear dialogue. Although there's excellent localization and movement, it lacks a consistent, engaging presence expected from a top-tier release.

Extra: 0

The Blu-ray release of The Amazing Spider-Man is disappointingly barebones, dropping all supplemental content and extras, even those found in previous editions, leaving collectors wanting more.

Movie: 76

The Amazing Spider-Man Blu-ray excels with its high-bitrate 1080p transfer from a 4K master, delivering an optimized visual experience for UHDTVs and enhancing the film's modern yet familiar take on Spider-Man's origin story. Despite its slow start and minor CGI flaws, the film's human elements and thrilling action sequences effectively revive the franchise, promising a strong foundation for future installments.
