Too much of everything

Don't listen to the negative reviews

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Shot partially in HONG KONG this episode uses asian intrigue to tell a tale that was unusual from most in the SPIDER MAN tv series. People find this show today at times painful to watch, yet it is good clean family fun. I supose in retrospect it is indicitive of the "cookie cutter" system in place at the time it was made. The show was aimed at kids when it was made in the 1970's yet the season run of the show was brutally short.

This is a brilliant Spider-Man movie almost on par with Spider-Man Strikes Back (which wasn't actually a movie but two episodes given a theatrical release years back).(POSSIBLE SPOILERS) The story is about some unscrupulous businessman trying to bump off an important Chinese official in order to get himself a lucrative contract to build a steel mill. The Chinese official is in New York and it is arranged for some villains to kill him. But they hadn't counted on Spider-Man.There were no super villains in this series which was a good thing because it made the whole thing more believable. Parker (played very well by Nicholas Hammond)changes into Spider-Man loads of times in this movie and really goes into action. Spider-Man suffers quite a bit in this film (he is shot twice) and it's also great to see Parker doing his detective routine in this film.If that's not enough there's plenty of action, a beautiful lady to accompany Parker and some quite nice scenery throughout. This film makes a great gift for any fan of Spider-Man. If you've watched the 2002 film then watch this as well because you won't be disappointed.

After this two part episode, the series was givin the ax. This was the most exciting one. Spider-Man really takes a few beatings in this one, he gets called a coward, he also gets shot at. Really not a good day to be super-hero. The story is about Peter Parker/Spider-Man goes to Hong Gong, In hopes to flush out some bad guys who is trying to kill a rich but nice old Chinese man. I still don't think Nicholas Hammond looked the part of Peter Parker, but he plays it well non the less. This one was the best, not a single flaw or pot hole. It had great action and great suspence. Really a classic Spider-Man.

While not as good as Spider-Man Strikes Back (1978), this is amusing stuff, with some extremely cool fight scenes and painful sound effects. Nicolas Hammond finally gets a decent(ish) haircut, and he goes to Japan to battle a couple of low-rent kung fu types. the theme tune is great, and Spidey himself is ridiculously funky. Go on, watch it - you know you want to!
