'Spider-Man 3' - High-Def Digest review

[jed]

Peter's review of 'Spider-Man 3' is up. Although he had mixed feeling about the film itself, he says this one's a Blu-ray winner, boasting an "often stunning" video transfer, a reference-quality sound package, and a full second disc of high-def extras.

How did this get no stars in the "high def extras" category when it has "a good number of the bonus features in 1080/i/AVC MPEG-4 video?"

[aygie]

How has spidey 3 video got 4 1/2 stars and all these have 5?

In all of our reviews, the "HD exclusive content" section refers to content that doesn't appear on the DVD, not resolution.

4 1/2 stars it's like a five dude. Think positive.

But even numbers are supposed to get rounded down so it's really a 4.

Who cares what someone rates it. The only opinion that matters is yours. You will watch it and you will like it...at least the video quality that is..the movie its self is another story.
