Sony Pictures is releasing The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on Blu-ray today, a fairly entertaining blockbuster that nicely follows the first instalment and does a decent job of setting things up for the next chapter of the franchise.  We reviewed The Amazing Spider-Man 2 back when the film opened atop the box office earlier this summer, and our overall consensus was:

“Although not quite as strong as previous franchise instalments, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a good sequel that consistently entertains with exciting action sequences and solid performances from both the heroes and villains. *** (out of 4)”

The Blu-ray includes filmmaker commentary, numerous deleted scenes, over a hundred minutes of featurettes, and the Alicia Keys music video “It’s On Again.”

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is 142 minutes and rated PG.
