This is awesome! My favorite is the one with the Shikata girl. Awesome fighting scene and Spider-Man lifts a car up over his head! The main villian gets his head cut off and another looses a finger.

I love this DVD! Animation is awesome, stories are cool and disc is full of extras. If you're a Spidey fan this is a must have. I hope they have a season 2 in production.

Let me only say this-this show is a wonder to watch.I am over forty years old but to see Spider-Man with such movements and bodylanguage and the fantastic filmed fight scenes gives me goosebumps.There are so much worse animated shows(all the other Spidey Shows are for an adult viewer horrible),that it is great to see what CGI can do on Dynamics.With Batman and Roughnecks this will stand on his own for decades.Go on make more seasons,there is so much animated trash out there,it is time we get something that is worth to watch!

I had seen a couple of episodes on MTV before it got taken off the air and I loved the show and when it came to DVD I had to check it out and I loved it even more. The new Spider-Man starts after the movie, where Harry's father is dead and Harry is vengful and hates Spider-Man and of course we have the romantic tention of Peter Parker and Mary Jayne.
The series was well done and well thought out and got really good actors to play the parts of the charicters. My beef is this, I really liked and was stunned by how it ended and it needs another season to really show what it can do so this is to MTV please bring Spider-Man back you want regret it if you do. We have already had one show done that way in the past few years with the cliffhanger episode of Team Knight Rider and it needed an ending and this is the same way, bring back Spider-Man you want regret it.

Aside from the 5 star rating (I mean, come on. 5 stars implies perfection, or close too it.), I totally agree with everything the previous reviewer said. If you want to see something that explores every corner of the Spider-man comic, then this isn't for you. Pick up one of the other, more for kids, DVDs of the 95 animated series that I consider a somewhat jumbled mess. If you however want to see something that is a little more adult and more related to the movie in terms of characters, then this is for you. But fear not old schoolers. There are some familiar Spidey villians here such as Kraven the Hunter, Silver Sable, Kingpin, the Lizard, and a Electro who only resembles the comic version in name. (The Lizard episode is my favorite) Most of the episodes involve villians that were developed exclusively for the show. But what's wrong with that? I do enjoy the way Peter is portrayed in this series. He is a smart and very responsible kid here. The emphasis on these qualities make him even more heroic. Many times it is his brain that allows him to triumph over the villian rather than just his Spider-abilities. If it wasn't for the more adult action and relationship themes, I would recommend this for kids as Peter is someone to emulate here. And of course, he still has his witty Spidey one liners.
The extras, listed on this page are somewhat dry. It would have been nice to see something about Spidey's origins or about the translation from comic, but it is mostly stuff concerning production of this series. There are plenty of cool trailers on disk one though as well as a commentary track and pop-up Spidey fact for every episode.
If you are a fan of the movie and need something to hold you till Spider-man 2, or even just a comic fan, you may like this. Marvel's writer of "Ultimate Spider-man", Brian Micheal Bendis co-produced this series and it shows. It very much has the feel of that great comic. This set contains all 13 episodes of the first season of the show. That's over 5 hours of fun, and interesting Spidey-adventure.
