I’m with Mr Horiuchi on his assessment that the 2.1 edition does not warrant an additional purchase, but I was able to find a digital code that included both versions of the film for only $6, so I’m not going to complain too much. There’s some great aspects of this film, but the director (Sam Raimi) simply couldn’t help himself with some of the b-grade horror stuff that goes on. That being said, it’s Sam Raimi, you should really know what you’re going to get when you hire him for a movie, even if it is Spider-man, which is why I usually defend Spider-man 3 for being the mess that it ended up being.
Spider-man 2 was the last “great” Spider-man film until we got to Spider-man: Homecoming, which isn’t really a knock on Andrew Garfield’s Amazing Spider-man films, I just felt that he was never really given a chance to really show his abilities and his films were unfortunately overladen with cgi and poorly thought out plot points.
