Sam Raimis grosse zeit!
spiderman movies sind sicher nicht schlecht, aber bei weitem nicht so unterhaltsam wie dieser Action, Sci-Fi, Grusel Karcher in bester Comic Manier.
Neben dem Talent Sam Raimi kommen in diesem Werk allerdings auch noch andere talente zusammen, wie Liam Neeson (Schindlers List, Batman Begins) Frances McDormand (Fargo) und Larry Drake (aus der TV Serie L.A.Law) geben ein fantastisches ensemble ab, wie auch der rest, trotz der teilweise etwas atypischen besetzung....
schade gibt es hie rnicht noch ein wenig bonusmaterial und ein upmix auf 5.1, zumindest im englischen...

trotzdem extrem sehenswert!!
das waren noch zeiten ...
