Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Nick Lattin-Scheetz This is probably by far the best cartoon to represent the early Spider-Man universe, while it may not be as good as Spectacular Spider-Man it definitely deserved its applause it got. Although first lets talk about what falls flat: 1. instead of focusing on Spidey's personal life as Peter Parker and how it clashes with him being a superhero, the focus goes toward a new villain being introduced, or a crossover between the web-head and another superhero. 2. The pacing is s--t, it throws so many new concepts at you with such frequency, you don't have time to digest it all. 3. (This is a nitpick it doesn't affect the story and show as a whole) The HobGoblin is introduced before the Green Goblin and in the comics it's supposed to be the other way around 4. Every time a villain does something bad Spider-Man is the first person they blame for it, they clearly seem too dumb to live. 4. Mary-Jane Watson's Aunt Anna is by far the most annoying character in the show, every single scene she's in has her insulting Peter, literally every scene she's in, she will never ever say anything good about Peter, she's even insulted her in front of Mary- Jane and Aunt May, how is it that J. Jonah Jameson, Peter's boss, can create the Scorpion to kill him not knowing he's Spider-Man, run several campaigns against him, put a bounty on his head twice, and still be more likable than Anna Watson? 5. the voice direction and dialogue is lame, everyone over-enunciates, points out the obvious, and states what they're gonna do out loud before doing it. For example, Spider-Man always has an inner monologue in every episode that never stops, when half of what he's babbling about could be established visually, if Samurai Jack and Batman: the animated series could do it so could this. OK on to the good stuff 1. The show knows how to stay true to the original stories from the comics while also adding some new and unique twists to them. 2. Even though Spider-Man's mono-logging is annoying they make up for that by giving him some very funny one-liners, in fact Spider-Man was lucky enough to have all the best dialogue compared to everyone else. 3. Jameson happens to also be very funny to listen to, him and his clever insults towards the web head are one of the many highlights. 4. The theme song is great, the lyrics are trash but the instrumental part rules, just listen to those awesome guitar riffs and you'll see what I mean, and that's my review for Spider-Man: the animated series, yes there are major issues with it but the stuff that's good is really good so get together with your fellow Spidey fans and give it a watch
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.
whofandom I love this series, I loved it as a child and I finished re-watching now and it still holds up. This version of Spider-man is by far the best, it takes everything from the comics and brings it to reality, the action is great and the dialog is even better with it's superb cast of voice actors that bring characters like Spider-man all the way down to the spot to life in such an amazing way, if you are a fan of Spider-Man then I guarantee you that you will love it and miss it once it's done. The only gripes i have with the series is the digital animation but to be honest it didn't bother me and all superhero cartoons have bad digital animation at least once or twice.From the characters to the stories it can make you cheer and make you tear that's why I'm giving it an 10/10.
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.
