With a new Spider-Man film currently in production, now is an excellent time to revisit or acquire the previous installments featuring everyone`s favorite superhero. Amazon is currently offering a great deal: a 4K bundle of the two Amazing Spider-Man movies starring Andrew Garfield can be purchased for just $29.49, down from the usual $50. The set is already in stock and includes digital codes for both films.
Following the release of Sam Raimi`s Spider-Man 3 in 2007, the franchise went on a brief hiatus. It resumed with the launch of The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012, followed by its sequel in 2014. The films in native 4K (2160p) look superb, and the audio track with Dolby Atmos support provides excellent surround sound. The only drawback is the lack of extensive bonus materials: the discs only include a cast-and-crew photo gallery and the ability to jump to specific moments. To access full special features, you`ll need to purchase the standard Blu-ray editions of these films.
Overall, these Amazing Spider-Man films can be considered satisfactory, but they don`t reach the same level of innovation as Sam Raimi`s trilogy starring Tobey Maguire or the recent Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films with Tom Holland, which are strengthened by their ties to the Marvel universe. The first Amazing Spider-Man offers an acceptable retelling of Peter Parker`s origin story with some questionable deviations from the established canon, while The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is an overstuffed attempt to lay the groundwork for a Sinister Six movie.
Despite their narrative shortcomings, the films featured Andrew Garfield`s outstanding portrayal of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, as well as a strong supporting cast including Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, and many other talented actors.

If you`re looking to expand your collection, many other Spider-Man Blu-ray editions are currently available at a discounted price. There`s a great 4K bundle deal for Sam Raimi`s Spider-Man films for $46 (down from $76), or you can grab a standard Blu-ray bundle of the recent Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Spider-Man films for $26 (down from $56). The two animated Spider-Verse movies are also highly recommended, and you can get their Collector`s Edition Blu-ray for $84 (down from $97). It`s also worth noting that Lego will release a new series of minifigures based on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse on September 1st, and these are now available for pre-order.
We`ve also listed individual 4K versions of these modern Spider-Man films, in case you only need one or two to fill a gap in your collection.
On the animated side, you can pick up several DVDs of classic Spider-Man TV shows. Spectacular Spider-Man is still considered one of the best—thanks partly to its amazing intro track. MTV`s attempt to capitalize on the box-office success of the 2002 Spider-Man movie with a slightly edgier take on the character remains fascinating to watch, even if it can be a bit cheesy at times.
For kids, there`s also the first season of Spidey And His Amazing Friends, a cute series about young, spider-themed heroes with unusually large heads.
