As for the new 2.1 DVD release, I'm overall impressed with the production and the preparation of new bonus features for the upgrade. The pop-up commentary is all too reminiscent of the Michael Okuda commentaries on the different "Star Trek" DVDs and "Are You Not Entertained?" on the "Gladiator" extended cut. Menu options are exactly the same as on the previous release, so it's a nice complement to the first release.
Of course, with "Spider-Man 3" just around the corner, we have the full theatrical trailer, the video game trailer preview, and a preview of 3, which I'm hyped about already. I'm surprised that they didn't include the really interesting teaser trailer, which my stepdaughter and I saw at the head of "Superman Returns" last year, which got me stoked for the new film.
In addition, Wal-Mart has an exclusive bonus third disc with its release, a 13-minute featurette called "The Villains of Spider-Man 3", which takes a brief look at how Venom, Sandman, and the new Goblin play an important part in the new film. It's got interviews with Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire, Kevin Feige, Topher Grace, Thomas Haden Church, and James Franco, among others.
How do I know all this? Because my local Wal-Mart streeted 2.1 a full week prior to next Tuesday's release date for the low cost of $12.88.
