Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
While fans breathlessly await the fate of the computer-animated New Adventures of Spider-Man (it remains in limbo after being dropped by MTV in 2003), they can enjoy all 13 episodes of its first season on this two-disc set, which includes a wealth of extras. Mainframe Entertainment (which created the cult Saturday morning series ReBoot) and writer/executive producer Brian Michael Bendis (the Ultimate Spider-Man comic) give the venerable story a spin by placing Peter Parker (voiced by Neil Patrick Harris) in college alongside pal Harry Osborn (Ian Ziering) and longtime crush Mary Jane Watson (singer Lisa Loeb). As usual, Parker/Spidey must conceal his secret identity while wrangling a host of foes, which are a mix of ones drawn from the comic book (The Lizard, Kraven the Hunter) and brand new enemies (Talon, voiced by rapper Eve). Spider-Man fans seem firmly divided into 'for' and 'against' camps over the animation, which beautifully captures Spidey's web-slinging, but often looks awkward when depicting everyday movement. Die-hard series viewers and Spider-Man/Marvel collectors in general will be pleased by the set, which includes behind-the-scenes featurettes and commentary by the creators. --Paul Gaita

Description:
When a nasty bite by an irradiated spider endows teenager Peter Parker with miraculous, arachnid-like powers, his death defying heroism wins him admiration from those in need. But being a superhero has its drawbacks...especially when you're in college! As Peter gains the trust of his friends, the police call him a vigilante. But he meets the challenge by exercising his wonderful powers for the good of all. Multi-talented performer Neil Patrick Harris (Undercover Brother, Starship Troopers), television star Ian Ziering ('Beverly Hills 90210'), and singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb ('Cake and Pie'), lend their vocal talents to this thrilling, computer-animated version of the comic book classic and mega-hit feature film, Spider-Man.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not a fan of Cel Shading, but this Slings
I really miss this show. Mtv used to do some really cool stuff; now it's all Tila Tequila and company. There's a new Spidey cartoon on the way, but it's traditional cel animation, not CG, and looks terrible. This at least dealt with some more adult themes in a not-too-adult way. If you dig this, seek out Reboot from the same animation studion (if you can find it)!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - my sons love spiderman!
I was hesitant when purchasing this moving because some of the negative reviews for children. However, I thought I would give it a try and I am glad I did. My sons, ages 4 and 2.5 years old love this DVD! It has some mild violence (punching and such) but not any gruesome violence, and yes, Mary Jane is more sexy looking than my young sons need to see (but honestly they are too young to even notice). There is a ton of spideman scenes which is just want they enjoy. I would definately recommend ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Spiderman DVD
My toddler likes this, but the language & humor is really more for a teenager to adult.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - what if Peter really did give up?
thats what the entire series of the show circles around and it was never resolved and never will be, its for you to take it for what it was and make your own conclusion! The thing i enjoyed best about this series was the relationship between Peter, MJ, and Harry. They made Harry out to be some hipster millionaire now that his dad died and he has his best friend to thank for that but he doesnt have any idea about it. you cant help but feel a bit jealous of Peter Parker at this point but just when you ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Spider-Man The New Animated Series
Looks brand new- but haven't opened yet. Saw this show when it aired on MTV. The coolest most up to date spiderman cartoon I've ever seen- and I'm a cartoon addict.
