Hilarious and filled with special features
on November 12, 2015
Posted by: meridianrising
Verified Purchase:Yes
Hilarious movie, providing us with another much needed female action comedy. Paul Feig truly knows what he's doing, throwing a variety of actors together and pushing out laugh after laugh. The Blu-ray is filled with fun and interesting special features, which only extend the life of the movie further.

Tom Cruise stars as secret agent Ethan Hunt in this four pack of films from the Mission: Impossible franchise. Titles include Mission: Impossible (1996) directed by Brian De Palma, Mission: Impossible II (2000) directed by John Woo, Mission: Impossible III (2006) directed by J.J. Abrams and Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) directed by Brad Bird.

A mixed series building to a high
on August 27, 2015
Posted by: meridianrising
Verified Purchase:Yes
There's no doubt in my mind that the first and fourth M:I films are the best (although the recently released fifth tops them all). The first is closest in spirit to the original TV series, while the second descends into a very typical overly stylized action film. The third entry starts an approach back to form, but it is essentially a feature length episode of Alias (no surprise given it's JJ Abrams). It's Ghost Protocol that truly raises the stakes and becomes the first film where you're rooting for every member of the IMF to return. It's really Tom Cruise, no matter what you think of him outside the film, that ties everything together with a strangely believable lead who wants to keep the world safe.

This three pack for fans of the Toby McGuire Spider-man franchise offers a triple feature of Spider-man, Spider-man 2 and Spider-man 3.

Great set, let down by the final film
on August 27, 2015
Posted by: meridianrising
Verified Purchase:Yes
Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 set a high bar for all the Marvel films that would follow, X-Men, the MCU and the more recent Amazing Spider-Man films. Lots of great special features on this set, along with great vision and sound. The only sore point is the disastrously over stuffed and poorly plotted third film. Definitely worth a purchase for a chance to see what things were like before the MCU and DCCU came fully into being.

A dip from the first...but still okay
on August 10, 2015
Posted by: meridianrising
Verified Purchase:Yes
The first one never reached the more impressive heights of The Maze Runner or The Hunger Games film series, but neither does this second one...and that's okay. It's a serviceable entry to the series that will ultimately set up the final parts of the Divergent trilogy. The downside is it makes Tris more unlikable than she was in the first (downplaying her previous growth) and not providing enough growth for some of the enjoyable supporting characters (though Miles Teller gets more to do this time, as does Kate Winslet). Ultimately, not a waste, but nothing too stellar.

Unfairly maligned
on June 12, 2015
Posted by: meridianrising
Verified Purchase:Yes
Definitely better than the last version of The Punisher, and more like the current TV version of Daredevil, it's definitely out of phase with the Marvel movies we're used to now. Highly and visually violent, it's a nice change of pace and works better than I'd have expected. Parts of it border on the silly, but it's worth a watch to see how comic book movies used to be done.

Great release for an average film
on May 5, 2015
Posted by: meridianrising
Verified Purchase:Yes
While visually spectacular and a new spin on the science in science fiction, the film is a narrative mess and the narrative muddled beyond comparison. Unfortunately it's par for the course at this point with Christopher Nolan sadly. The Blu-ray is still impressive, with top notch picture and sound, as well as impressive special features.

Just waiting for the Whole Bloody Affair
on April 1, 2015
Posted by: meridianrising
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's great to get these movies in the (almost) original format (the price didn't hurt), but I still hold out hope that The Whole Bloody Affair will make it to Blu-ray in the not too distant future.
