Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

My father was Don Draper. So was my mother. I was eight. I hated every child actor on TV except Wednesday on the Adams Family. TV sucked. Lost in Space was Stupid. Star Trek was the coolest thing since Johnny Quest. I say again. TV sucked. Yes sometimes The Twilight Zone. Yes always the Outer Limits, and the rebroadcast of The Wizard of Oz. TV sucked, sucked sucked. It sucked so badly that I bought a Spindrift model from the Land of the Giants TV show and I hated that show. I still have it but know that it sucked. Spiderman Season 1 was Great.Not even close to Johnny Quest but magnificent all the same. Adequate art work. Excellent music. Terrific voices. Spiderman sounds an awful lot like William Shatner. There are no pictures of Paul Soles. True both are Canadian. Prove me wrong. That's Bill Shatner making a little extra spending money on the side. I met him back in 1977. My first thought was he isn't Clark Kent, he's Spiderman.

Okay, I admit. I have a great dislike of superheroes instead of the Teen Titans. Yes, I admit it. I've always had a little interest of Spiderman when I was a child and a greater one after watching the movies except part three, which I will watch when it is available on DVD. Anyways, I decided to purchase a Spider-Man VHS on eBAY and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a little bit cheesy, but it still had the friendly neighborhood friend that we all know and love. Spiderman! First episode I watched out of that VHS was "The Power of Doctor Octopus". I'm not sure if it was the first episode or not. If yes, it should have introduced how Spiderman has received his power. It was a great episode with the excitement I'm looking for in the series in only about fifteen minutes. Short, but to my liking.I recommend this show for anyone who might have even the slightest interest of Spiderman.

Although I was born the same year that Spider-man went off the air in 1970, it ran in syndication, which I watched all the episodes when it aired. Compared with the contemporary cartoons of my childhood such as Speed Racer, The Superfriends, Most of Filmation Studios animation, etc., the original Spider-Man cartoon, by far, had better graphics, music, etc. than the subsequent "Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends" among other recent Spider-Man episodes, although they were more advanced, consistent, and greater story lines. Spider-Man had an original animation theme, such as the original Lone ranger Cartoon of the 1960s (Format Films). This Spider-Man will always remain a classic to me.

This show was great with just about everything. The story follows very well to the comic books that started the web-slinger off. Okay, there are a few differences, like how the Green Goblin is more of a bank robber, or the whole new character/lacking character thing, and how they had common things happen like Pluto aliens and mole-men from what I hear, but this IS a DIFFERENT UNIVERSE, therefore those aren't mistakes or whatever. The animation even I wouldn't say is the BEST example, like with repeating scenes and limitations, but it was good for it's time. Don't listen to the posters who said it's even worse than the ones made at the same time, it's actually much more comfortable to watch than most of the shows that are on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, I'd rather watch this Spider-Man series than Pokemon, to be honest. Especially since Pokemon has been obliterated of potential since it multiplied into all sorts of insidious variations, just like Power Rangers. Good thing Garfield, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers have known where the fine line is and usually avoid crossing it.The theme song is the original and great, just like with Ninja Turtles. The animation is quite reminiscent to ones like Scooby Doo and Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. I only saw four episodes of this, since I manage to get them as the bonus episodes on the '94 series videos/DVDs. The Origin of Spider-Man, King Pinned, The Triumph of Dr. Octopus, and Magic Malice were all done very well though. Quite interesting that one of the producers was Ralph Bakshi, who also did the animated Hobbit/Lord of the Rings movies (aside from the live action ones by Peter Jackson).Bottom Line: All in all, this is a series worth searching for. There's also a '67 series, which looks good put has quite a price on your wallet, but if you have the money, you shouldn't regret it!
