Definitive Collection of Spider Man movies

What can I say. These are some of the best Spider-man movies ever made. You get the original Raimi trilogy and the Webb reboots. All 4K and look beautiful!
In addition, you get digital versions of all. The trilogy was 4K versions but the Amazing versions came as 1080P digital only - at least that is the way the one digital app did it. Sound came through beautifully as well.
The steelbooks included are beautiful. One for each universe of movies and are well worth it for collectors.
I am sure most know all about these movies but the Raimi films chronicle Toby Maguire as Peter Parker from High School through becoming a staff photographer at the Daily Bugle, the death of his Uncle Ben and his up and down relationships with Mary Jane and Harry Osborne. Excellent villains between Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus and eventually Sandman and Venom.
The Webb series chronicle Garfield's Peter Parker as he deals with the disappearance of his parents and trying to find out the mystery of their research. A strong relationship with Gwen Stacy develops and Spidey has to match wits against The Lizard and eventually a slew of villains in the sequel. Where Toby's focused on his relationship with his friends and living up to his Uncle's mantra of "Great power comes great responsibility," Garfield's focuses on building confidence in himself and then later dealing with the self-imposed responsibility of protecting Gwen. I will give kudos to Jamie Foxx's Electro as well as Giamati's Rhino and DeHann as Harry Osborne. I personally would have loved to see where the series could have gone.
Anyone who may need a little break from Tony Stark's apprentice or may want to reminiscence about Spider-man before the Marvel deal, check these 4K HDR versions out! Stay Frosty!

tough choice to 4k or not to 4k

so, Last summer I got a great deal on the blu ray version of this steelbook not realizing 4k was releasing shortly after. LUCKILY, I was blessed with a ton of Best Buy store credit to burn so I bought the 4K steelbook also.
Now I can't speak to 4k vs 1080p, whether the upgrade is worth it for these 5 movies
(though I will say that overall, imo, 1080p is excellent quality and I rarely see major improvement in 4k therefore I will not be re-purchasing ALL my blu rays in 4k)
I CAN, however, speak the digital copies and steelbook artwork which is 90% what sold me on this set.
The digital copies WILL show up in your VUDU /Fandangonow / itunes as 4K UHD quality but you need to redeem original trilogy at the Sony pictures redeem site, and the Amazing set, redeem at movies anywhere to get 4K UHD.
The art is AWESOME! 2 steel book cases, matte finish with very detailed comic art depictions of the 2 Spidey franchises each case featuring Costumed Spidey in action with all the villains from each respective series.
MY dilemma was choosing which art I liked better...4K steelbook OR 1080 blu ray steelbook?? Sony really hit the marketing on this one because BOTH sets have AMAZING art.
In contrast with the 4K steelbook detailed intricate comic art, the 1080 blu ray steelbooks take a minimalist, sleek, gloss finish with metallic hues. Spidey is featured as the lone focus, highlighting the great design of both the Tobey Maguire suit and Andrew Garfield suit. behind spidey on both steelbooks sprawls a blue/red spider logo with metallic hues on a white background.
My original plan was to keep the 4K steelbooks and sell the 1080p steelbooks. But when I saw how beautiful the art was on both, and how different they were I wanted to keep BOTH sets. Luckily I have a friend who is just as much a steelbook, comic book fan as I, and he compromised with me and bought 1 of each of the artwork. So I have the 4K discs, but I have a mixed set of Steel books, one steelbook the 4K with the detailed comic art from the Toby series and another steelbook, the minimalist action shot of Andrew Garfield Spidey suit. I couldn't be happier with my best of both worlds steelbook set.
As for the rest of the steelbook collectors, I wish you luck with making this decision. I would Google both artworks first, and in the end, just choose the one that you love the most. Or if you can afford it just get both of them LOL.
Why must you take our money Sony?... on the bright side, it's well less than $20 per movie for 4K, and less than $10 per movie for regular Blu-ray. So on a per movie basis, these are very good values.
Also of note, the only discs that are 4K in the 4K set are the actual feature films. All special features are 1080p discs identical in both sets.
Another benefit of either the 1080P or 4K steelbook set, is that both come in a glossy plastic protective box that displays the set nicely while protecting it. Just make sure when you purchase that the box is in good shape. Some of them are pretty beat up.

A spectacular collection

The 2 series come in 2 different steel case books. Both look amazing. It comes with the 5 movies and bonus discs. They look great.
My only issue is the way the discs are inside. There's only 2 slots so the discs are stacked on top of each other. It's a hassle to change movies because it feels like you might break them. Wish the layout was something similar to the back to the future set.

Near perfection for a Spiderman collection

I have been skeptical of most Spiderman "collections" due to lack of content, having no reason to upgrade over standard editions (other than fancy casing), quality of production, etc. Doubt no more - This is the nearly perfected edition, and the one that I will keep in my collection for years to come!
Packaging:
This includes two beautiful steelbook cases, both in pop-art style, with tasteful illustrations. These are kept together in one plastic box, which is admittedly a weak point, as it has no easy-access opening on the side, and a flimsy top that seems more in the way than useful. If the steelbooks had separate labels on the spine, I would ditch the plastic casing in order to just have the two steelbooks.
Picture & Sound:
The quality of the blu-rays is beyond question, providing the highest fidelity picture and audio that have ever been offered for either the earlier set (Tobey Maguire, early 2000s), or even for the newer "Amazing Spiderman" reboot (Andrew Garfield, 2010s). The 4K/UHD presentations with the latest audio, in the form of both DTS-HD Master, as well as full Dolby Atmos tracks, are phenomenal! For both effects and soundtrack, the musical work of Elfman, Horner, and Zimmer are showcased beautifully. The one real disclaimer is that while the resolution was expanded to 4K/Ultra Hi-Def, HDR is not fully baked-in, so you will have to force your TV into providing its own HDR estimation or effect, but I had no issues with my LG E6OLED - It looked spectacular even with true HDR10/DolbyVision in the equation. For comparison, these stood up quite well, compared to the more recent Homecoming title, with Tom Holland, although that featured UHD picture with HDR, but similar sound quality. Picture is very good, but it was obviously not natively produced that way, as many effects will show, but it has never been shown better.
Extras:
This set includes not only the 5 total films (in both UHD, and regular blu-ray), but the added features of the options for the spiderman-3 director's cut, the 2.1 feature, and two full discs of extras. For those who still care about 3D, like me, those discs are not included, but it was not hard to fit my existing Amazing Spiderman 1 & 2 3D blu-rays into the mix. These can generally be found quite cheaply, if you care to add them.
Conclusion:
This is the Spiderman set that I've been waiting for since the original releases, and I'm so glad that I waited for what feels like an almost perfect tribute to the well loved series in my family. Despite minor casing issues (Stupid plastic box, no labels on steelbook spines), the fact that these weren't originally produced in 4K (but they do hold up quite well with the quality conversion), this is the premiere set to own, if you're truly a fan. The jump in sound quality alone was astounding, even without a full Atmos-equipped home theatre. Keep in mind that it's not perfect - but it's as close as I have ever seen.

They made other Spiderman movies before these I believe. This movie is great, has amazing FUNNY lines, fast action, really sets a nice pace. The sound is great, can't say enough good things about the sound, it has what you expect for the money you spend on a disk of this magnitude, the money they spent was well placed. You get high quality content. The CGI is so realistic you forget its CGI and just fall into the story and lose yourself in the emotion and staging of the drama and action.

Perfect version of these 5 movies in 4K !

The movies themselves are all good in my opinion (maybe not Spider-man 3) The 4K transfer is excellent in all the original Raimi movies with subtle grain and very high quality close-up detail. The 2 newer Amazing Spider-man movies look great in 4K also but they already looked pretty good when they came out a few years ago so no big increase in detail there. Overall worth a purchase, oh and the steelbook covers are pretty cool looking if a little annoying how the discs are stacked in the ONLY 2 cases.

This collection of 5 Spider-Man movies is housed in 2 Steelbook cases held together by a plastic slip case. The cover art is drawn and not a movie still or promo image, so if you're not a fan of the Pop Art line, you may want to stay clear. The spines also do not have any text on them. If you don't mind all that, you'll be glad you added this to your collection, since it's definitely an eye-catching set.

This is great. Its nice to see some re-releases in 4k. Buy these quick before they're gone or you will be paying twice as much online. These come in a very cool protective sleeve that does allow just enough room to add your own protective sleeves over each steelbook. This set some with 2 steelboks one with Spiderman 1-3 and one containing both the Amazing Spiderman movies.

For fans of Spider-Man looking to get the web slinger in 4K this collection is the only way. This item is only carried by Best Buy and it is very high quality. It comes in 2 nice steelbooks and also includes the editor's cut of Spider-Man 3. The audio and video are pristine and it fully utilizes HDR.

Best way to own the Spider-Man Legacy films

This package gives you all the legacy Spider-Man films in a compact and beautiful package. The steelbooks are great, however the spines on the steelbooks themselves do not have any text, so that is my one complaint - I'd like to be able to remove the outer plastic packaging to display this collection on my shelf, but the spines do not clearly indicate what is contained in the steelbooks. Still, all the films are here in 4K with plenty of special features and digital copies included.

First off the stell box came but some of the movies were loose so be careful when opening. But despite that the movies were a great move to 4k love that you get the 4k and blue ray versions of the movies, plus the digital code for all of the movies. Definitely worth the upgrade to 4k and hdr!

I'm mostly a fan of the Raimi flicks but I appreciate the inclusion of the Webb ones for completeness. Several hours of bonus material including an alternate version of Spiderman 3, not too different but worth a look for fans. Movies look great in 4k!

Most importantly: all 5 movies included are LEGIT 4K, not the fake upscaled 4k a lot of supposed 4k discs actually give you. All the films look the best they ever have. The steelbooks are nice, and there are some decent extras.
That said, the two "Amazing" films aren't great and Spider-Man 3 has a couple of cringy moments that prevent a 5 star rating for the full collection.

The art on the steel book covers look amazing. I love the first 3 movies they look as great as a 2002 movie can in 4k. Nice nostalgia trip. The Amazing Spider-Man movies look real crisp in 4k.
