This is one of just short of a dozen featurettes on the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD of Spider-Man 3, and obviously going into said production. It's the longest of them, at about 19 minutes. Dealing with the stunts, this consists of interviews, behind the scenes footage, clips of the movie and a little of the comics. Apart from explaining how they achieved the awesome shots in the flick, this also goes into the reasons behind the diverse fights, and why they felt the way they did it would have more of an impact on the viewers. We get to see a lot of cool bits of people running and battling with blue-screen backgrounds, and understand how they, for example, launch guys into the air without wires. This of course doesn't delve into the deepest or most emotionally strong aspects of the film, but it is a must for anyone who loves the combat and such in it, and it is devoid of pretense. The pacing is good, this is never boring. It's quite entertaining, as well as genuinely informative throughout, not to mention well-edited and interesting. I recommend this to anyone who finds the subject worth their time. 7/10
