Don't say anything not nice about Spiderman to my kids. They will never talk to you again.
All adults agree with your comments but Hollywood movies are a hit if kids go to see them. How can POKEMAN, a cartoon movie be a hit. Many a times the whole 40 foot screen got filled with a yellow circle (Pokeman close-up), without even any shading. Just two thin lines for the nose and mouth.
I think, Spiderman will be a ref standard DVD to test your Audio systems, adult's toys.

As Ray Barone said in Everybody Loves Raymond (US sitcom), "I think Pokemon is Japanese for 'Stupid Americans.'"
Here's a quote from DVDfile.com about the sound:
Quote:
Presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, those hoping for a new demo favorite may need to look elsewhere. First the good stuff. As you would expect on a $100 million movie, it's a model of the modern Hollywood soundtrack in terms of dynamic range and cleanliness of the recording. The front soundstage is wonderfully spacious and full, with robust midrange and stellar separation of the music, effects and dialogue. And despite all the razzmatazz and action scenes, the dialogue is crystal clear and I never once had to fiddle with the volume during quieter scenes or pop on the subtitles.
However, my big disappointment with this presentation is the inconsistent use of the surrounds. They really only kick in during the big scenes, and even then I've heard better imaging and discrete effects on other big-budget DVDs. The score is also too confined to the front, with only some bleed to the rears. Subtle ambiance is all but absent, and imaging from front to back is fair but nothing more. The .1 LFE does kick out some low bass, so turned up loud this mix still delivers at least during the action scenes. A perfectly fine mix, just not reference quality.
