Product Description:
Witness the original web-slinger's mythology from the beginning! Peter Parker is a not so typical high school junior, fresh off an exciting summer engaging common criminals with his new found powers. But now he must conceal his secret identity as 'Spider-Man', while engaging a new level of terror: the multi-leveled pressures of teenage life at home/school with combating bigger, badder super-villains in the real world! Movie comprised of 3 episodes tied seemlessly.

Rating:  - Five stars because my little boys love it
My boys, ages 2 and 4, love Spiderman. They've never seen any Spiderman movies or TV programs, so I don't really know how they became such huge fans... This DVD was on sale at Toys R Us for $5, so I thought, "What the heck?" and I'm very glad we purchased it. The boys think it is the "coolest" show (as much as they love Elmo, I guess he just isn't as "cool"). I like that although this program was not really geared for such a young audience, there is nothing inappropriate in the language or content and it is kept simple enough for kids to easily follow the storyline. I'm excited for the entire season to be released. I think my little Spider-men will love it.
Rating: - Spidey's back!
This new series combines the very best from each version of Spidey to create an amaz...I mean spectacular new whole. Great plots, character development, and dialog make this a must-see for any fan of Spider-Man.
Rating:  - The Spectacular Spider-Man:Attack of the Lizard.......
I thought The Batman was the only comic book character to get many cartoon series created of him but, boy, was I wrong. Spider-Man has had over six different cartoon series created of him through the years. Each different, in it's own way, but staying close to the source material. My personal favorites were Spider-Man('94 through '98), Spider-Man Unlimited('99) & Spider-Man:The New Animated Series(2003). To be honest, I was quite skeptical of this show doing Spider-Man any justice. It seemed geared more toward kids with it's art style. Well, after watching a few episodes, I can safely tell you it is anything but. This series brings it: great stories, plenty of action & new takes on old villains. I couldn't love it more. So, what do I have to say about the full-length animated movie? Well, it is actually the first three episodes of the show made into a feature-length movie. The movie starts with Peter starting his junior year in high school. Having gotten newfound powers and lost his uncle during this time, he decides to follow his uncle's last teaching. Aunt May is having monetary problems, the girls are not paying any attention to him, he can't get a job, and that is only as Peter Parker. As Spidey, he's faced with all sorts of madness as The Vulture, Electro & Lizard give him trouble. What I love most about this movie is it features 'my' favorite Spidey villain:The Lizard(one villain I've always wished they'd put in the movies). As an added bonus, they included the Spectacular Spider ... Read More
Rating: - Seriously can't wait to get my long awaited Spidey-fix
As I get older, I've come to notice that many of my favorite shows have come and gone and while I have usually collected new shows to watch as old ones depart, I find myself being less enthralled by the latest shows on television, animation or otherwise. It's a recurring thought that one day my favorite old shows to watch will depart before I find new ones to take their place . . . perhaps killing my TV habits once and for all.
Thankfully I've not come to that conclusion just yet, as Sony's new show, The Spectacular Spider-Man is without a doubt not only one of the best incarnations of the epic tale of Peter Parker but one of the best cartoons currently on the air.
I may not be the best expert when it comes to all things Spidey, but I have been a pretty decent Spider-Man fan, having watched both the 90's FOX show as well as the movies -- but both of these predecessors pale before the new show, thanks to a combination of original Lee/Ditko & Ultimate Spider-Man storylines and the masterful storytelling of Greg Weisman himself (Gargoyles, W.I.T.C.H, just to name a couple of his other works). Seriously, this show differs in many, many ways from the 90's show and the movies but one thing's definitely for sure -- they got Spider-Man ABSOLUTELY right this time. You'll actually won't recognize the Web Head in the other versions after you watch this show!
The end result is a refreshing new series that's not only fast paced and filled with high drama, but contains ... Read More
Rating:  - Two boys' review: Don't do it! Wait for the full season DVD set!
My young sons (ages 5 and 4) love the new animated Spider-Man series. The WB program was bright, colorful and much better suited for younger audiences than the MTV version produced a couple years ago.
If you absolutely must buy a DVD right now, go ahead. This is a good choice for young children who love Spider-Man. However, you'll do a lot better to wait for the Season 1 DVD set.
Are you buying it for a birthday present and can't wait for the season 1 DVD set? Look instead at the great set of action figures modeled after this animated series. I recommend these for young kids, too (check out my Amazon reviews).
