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.
- Second Screen Experience / What is The Amazing Spider-Man Second Screen Experience?
(1080p, 1:04): The former is an app designed for the iPad or Sony

on a second device while watching the movie on TV. The Blu-ray player
must connect wirelessly with the device. Production notes, effects shots
breakdowns, storyboards, digital models, and much more are available.
The latter is merely an advertisement and crude tutorial for the "Second
Screen Experience."
