Disc One: - Audio Commentary:
Director Marc Webb and Producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach open with
a discussion of defining the Peter Parker character and the central
theme that both shapes the greater narrative and literally opens the
film. They cover the themes and spell them out with some meaning.
They discuss the nuance of the performances, how the actors helped
define the drama and themes, and the detailed scripted shaping of all
the characters. They also cover rebooting (revamping?) the series
so quickly, the massive canonical material available, cut scenes,
similarities to other classic works, crafting various action scenes,
storytelling techniques and advancing the plot and drama, and plenty
more. This is a fast, informative, and worthwhile commentary. With
optional English, Chinese Traditional, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish,
and Thai subtitles.

in the supplement.
