SPIDER-MAN 2.1 (dvd)*NEW* 2-disc extended and similar items

Brand new factory sealed 2-disc special extended cut of the film is Out Of Print (OOP) in all formats and no longer being manufactired. Pictured with its O-ring protective card cover that is doing its job as it has a couple of tiny dings around the edges. Now this is what a superhero movie should be. The movie demonstrates whats wrong with a lot of super-hero epics today: They focus on the super-powers and short-change the humans behind them. It succeeds by being true to the insight that allowed Marvel Comics to upturn decades of comic book tradition: Readers could more readily identify with heros like themselves. It wasn't that Peter Parker could swing between buildings, it was that he fretted about it and the personal problems it brought. Peter Parker (Toby Maguire) admires the famous Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), whose labratory on the banks of the East River houses an experiment that will either prove that fusion can work as a cheap source of energy, or vaporize Manhattan. To handle the dangerous materials of his experiments, Octavius devises four powerful tentacles that are fused to his spine and have cyber-intelligence of their own; a chip at the top of his spine prevents them from over-riding his orders, but when the chip is damaged the gentle scientist is transformed into Doc Ock, a fearsome fusion of man and machine, who can climb skyscraper walls by driving his tentacles through concrete and bricks. Peter Parker meanwhile has vowed that he cannot allow himself to love Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) because her life would be in danger from Spider-Man's enemies. She has finally given up on Peter, who is always standing her up; she announces her engagement to no less than an astronaut. Peter has heart-to-hearts with her and with Aunt May. And he has to deal with his friend Harry Osborn (James Franco), who likes Peter but hates Spider-Man, blaming him for the death of his father (a.k.a. Green Goblin, although much is unknown to Harry).
