DCfan Back in October I reviewed this title and gave it a 5 then later on I watched the entire series then gave it a 7. But recently I have been debating on whether if this show is really that bad after overseeing and guess what. This show, Ultimate Spider-Man and The new Spider-Man cartoon are easily the best shows. I do like Spectacular Spider-Man but I don't think it is as good as the ones I have mentioned above. All though Season 4 was a massive disappointment because of the whole Mary Jane is a water clone thing I don't know how cartoon or anime logic works but I am pretty sure if she was a water clone Peter would known the difference for example her body temperature would have felt like a hot water bottle and she would have been more heavier than an average human. However The Six Forgotten Warriors arc and The Secret Wars arc was good. But in my opinion the show should have ended after the episode The Wedding because that episode felt more like an ending then the I really really hate clones part 2 episode because Madam Web promise Spider-Man that they will Mary Jane. But the show was left unresolved because we don't see him actually find Mary Jane.If they were going to make a season 4 they should have also made season 5 where we would be introduced to Peter's parents, Gwen Stacy, Sandman, more of the other marvel characters like Iron Man's team from his series (Spider-Woman, Hawkeye and the other characters), Ghost Rider, etc. We could have even seen Black Cat and Spider-Man reveal their identities to each other.But no Marvel threw all of that away for that abomination Spider-Man Unlimited. However what was stupid was that Electro is Red Skull's son, Herbert England was a ripoff of Two Face, this version of Mary Jane was annoying (to the point where she was dead weight and Ptere should have married Falica instead) and they killed off Mysterio because he was in love with an actress. Also the Madame Web/Anna Watson moments were annoying as well. But the Sinister Six, the venom and carnage and the hobgoblin episodes were good. The art style, voice actors, stories were good. Overall I would recomand this show if you are a hardcore Spider-Man fan.

btimmfan This is the best Spider-Man animated series ever made. It is also one of the best superhero animated series ever. The story arcs were epic and unpredictable, Spider-Man had the perfect personality and voice in Christopher Daniel Barnes, and nearly every major character in the Spider- Man mythos made an appearance. Also, the majority of the character designs were great to look at and had a very realistic look to them.It is not a perfect show. There was a lot of reused animation (scene cuts from previous episodes reused in later episodes). Sometimes it would fit and look alright, and other times it was pretty obvious. Also, even though some things were toned down for being a children's show, I never got the feeling or impression that anything was lacking (even in later viewings as an adult). Anyway, I seriously doubt there will ever be another Spider-Man show that comes close to the quality of this one. This IS Spider-Man.

sander-vh Even in Belgium the boys used to watch shows like X-men, Batman, Superman, Batman Beyond and Justice League. Aah those were the days. This series in particularly was my favorite of them all because of the action. It was always on the move, had a lot of action and I liked that because I was a bit of a hyperactive child. Nowadays I'm 23 years old and I'm re watching the nostalgic cartoon series mixed with some new ones (like Avengers EMH, Young Justice, Teen Titans) and I must say that out of all of them (X-men, Batman TAS, New Adventures Of Batman, Superman TAS, Batman Beyond, Justice League) Spider-man, what used to be my favorite series, is my least favorite. It's not that I don't like it, because the show still holds a place in my heart for the nostalgic feeling. So what are the good and the bad points. + Animation is great but ... + The voice of spider-man is spot on ! + Most of the episodes are just enjoyable to watch + Season 1 is strong and 3 is very good + Season 2 and 5 are enjoyable too + Villains are very nice (favorite is The Green Goblin and Venom) + It had a pretty good ending... They often re uses scenes which is ridiculous (for example The Lizard smashes spider-man with his tail in the sewers and in another episode they re-use the scene BUT they are fighting in a lab). - No punches were giving in the cartoon, no use of the word kill etc... It's heavily censored - Season 4 was a weak season IMHO - Episodes could use more dialog and story driven motives instead of plain and solid action. The story and dialog is most of the time driven by spider-man who just thinks a lot of the times in his head (what should I do , I miss Mary Jane etc...). - Pacing is not so good in this series. Sometimes i have the urge to pause the episode because it's all too much. It's like the creators wanted to cram every little piece in 20 minutes. - Characters are bland (Like aunt May, Mary Jane, even Peter Parker is a little bit of a douche when it comes to his relationship with MJ)As you can see the series has its good and bad points, but as a whole I enjoyed the cartoon.

Zackery Burgess This is the first superhero cartoon I ever watched and I will always remember it. As I mentioned in my Justice League review when I was a kid I was into superheroes. This is what got me into. This was the reason I am a comic book fan. It introduced me not just to Spider-man,Mary Jane, Aunt May and other characters, but it introduced me to Spider-Man's rogues gallery. Villains such as Doc Ock,Mysterio,Shocker,Rhino,and the Green Goblin would be part of my childhood. When my friends and I would play Spider-man I would always be the villains and since no one else wanted to be the villain I had to pretend I was all of them and it was fun! The show also did a good job of introducing other superheroes like Blade,Dr.Strange,and the Punisher. Overall this is a classic. Even though I was only a baby when show was still going on, I saw re runs of the show which was a big impact on my childhood. And made me into the person and I am to say. All I have to say is with power comes great responsibility.
