Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Peter Parker is facing personal problems at home and as Spider-Man he must also handle the villains that are threatening the world.

Amazon.com:
The exciting first season of Victor Cook and Greg (Gargoyles) Weisman's stellar animated Spider-Man series is included, uncut, in this two-disc set. Spectacular, which follows both the high-energy adventures of the web-slinger and the social struggles of his alter ego, teenage Peter Parker, is perhaps the most satisfying television adaptation of the legendary Marvel Comics series to date; Weisman and his team remain equally faithful to the high-flying action and the personal dramas in Peter's out-of-costume world. And with only a few changes (most notably to the character of Peter's secret crush, Gwen Stacy, and the identity of the villainous Big Man), they've hewed very closely to the source material, right down to minor characters and second-string villains (the Enforcers, anyone)? All 13 episodes of the series are presented here in their original broadcast format (Sony originally intended to release the season in four-episode blocks on stand-alone single discs with new connecting footage, but that notion was abandoned after the release of Attack of the Lizard), and viewers can enjoy their favorite wall-crawler in battle with some of his most fearsome foes, including Electro, the Sandman, Venom, and, of course, the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus (well voiced by Steven Blum and Peter MacNichol, respectively). Extras on the set are slight--"Spider-Man: Re-Animated" is a making-of featurette with interviews with cast and crew, while "Stylizing Spidey" is a brief look at the show's depiction of the iconic characters-but that shouldn't detract from Spider-fans' enjoying of this terrific show. --Paul Gaita

Average Rating:

Rating: - The Best since 1967!!!!!
This is the best Spider-Man cartoon to be on TV since the 1967 cartoon produced by Gantry-Lawrence Animation. This show has the potential to be better than Batman: The Animated Series, which is considered by many to be the greatest cartoon of all time.

If you enjoy Spider-Man and you want something you can enjoy with the whole family without sacrificing quality, then pick these shows up and enjoy. Then go and find a "Save The Spectacular Spider-Man" petitition because Disney has canceled ... Read More

Rating: - Great for younger kids
I find this to be a toned down version of spider man that is good for younger kids. My son is 8 and I haven't let him watch the others yet and this gives him a taste of it without being as intense. There's still some fighting and bad guys, but spidey is a teenager and it isn't quite as violent or scarey as the others can sometimes be. Got the review from Common Sense Media which really helped me find it.

Rating: - Amazingly Spectacular
My son and I really enjoy watching this series together. The continuity is solid, the characters are interesting, and they do a really good job of capturing the spirit of Spiderman. The animation style was a little odd at first, but after my brain had a chance to adjust it actually works well and is fluid. The action sequences are very dynamic and comic booky and fun, but this is really a character-driven storyline. Great stuff!

Rating: - A must have for all Spidey fans
I must admit that I am still a kid at heart but I honestly believe that any adult would enjoy joy the Spectacular Spider-Man as much as any child. I do not mind viewing this program with my son because it is fun for all ages. I am a huge Spidey fan since I can remember and I will continue to be one for many years to come. You will not be disappointed and I cannot wait for season two!!!
