    This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

    The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

    With the powers given by the bite of a radioactive spider, a young man fights crime as a wall-crawling superhero. Although the origins of Peter Parker A.k.a Spider-man has totally changed, the villains are forgettable and the way that both the Spider-Sense and Spider-Web look is very cheesy this is still a good show and Nicholas Hammond did a really good job as both Parker and Spider-man and for a 1977 TV Show the actual suit did look pretty cool not Sam Raimi or Marc Webb cool but still pretty cool and fun. But like i said it's still pretty cheesy and forgettable villains did hurt the whole project for me but at least it was way better than that Japanese Spider-man/Power Rangers Mash up and for that i'm going to give The Amazing Spider-Man an 6.5/10

    The Amazing Spider-Man is the first live-action TV series that was based on the popular superhero comic book of the same same.It follows the exploits of Peter Parker,a freelance photographer of the Daily Bugle who managed to acquire superpowers after he was bitten by a radioactive spider that enabled him to acquire the abilities of a spider. It stars Nicholas Hammond of the Sound Of Music fame together with Michael Pataki,Robert F. Simon,Ellen Bry,Chip Fields and Irene Tedrow.While this maybe only have been a short-loved TV series which was unfortunately and unfairly axed not due to poor ratings but rather due to a TV executive's strong dislike for superhero TV series on the TV station.Looking back from today,it maybe now considered to be cheesy fun due to the absence of CGI technology back in the 1970's that special effects were definitely conventional and due to being a low-budget being a TV series.But nevertheless,it was definitely an enjoyable TV show especially for children who are superhero fans.Hammond did a good job of portraying Peter Parker and Spiderman.The stories were definitely good during its time and they were definitely enjoyed by its viewers.Overall,it maybe a short- lived but it still remains a classic almost 40 years after it was aired and it has definitely been considered a cult by Spiderman fans.

    Along with "Wonder Woman" and "The Incredible Hulk," "The Amazing Spider-Man" was the only other live-action superhero TV series to make a splash during the 1970s. It's really pointless to describe the plot since if you know the Marvel Comics comic book series that inspired Spider-Man, then you already know the story, with Nicholas Hammond as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. This series always had great death-defying stunts, which were great for the time it was made, when everything had to be done using live, flesh & blood human beings and not a computer. Many other iterations of Spider-Man would follow in the later decades after "The Amazing Spider-Man's" debut on television, most notably three animated series and two live-action movie series. Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" movie series - with Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man - was my favorite incarnation of the character ever, with "Spider-Man 2" (2004) as my favorite superhero movie and my #2 favorite movie of all time. Spider-Man is my all-time favorite superhero. This show was just another reason why.10/10

    This TV series were strictly for kids from he 70s. (You ever wondered why Kelso is so retarded?) As you grow up, you do realize that this can't appeal on your intellect? The comic book was extremely popular at the time. Even animated TV series were good and popular. But, this... kids stuff. The same story, Peter Parker, a schoolboy gets bitten by a radioactive spider, that glows red! Wow! And he turns into a... ummm... let's just say that he has a bad costume and amazingly bad movements, it's slow and dumb. Well... the series didn't have any budget at all, so they did it desperately as much as they can to please audience... but, fans were mad and kids were like "love that"... Arrrgghh!! I enjoyed this stuff when I saw it as a kid... my first Spiderman experience! But, then... saw it again... Dear me... that was horrible! Just like Power Rangers! Let go of these TV series... you are done with them for sure!
