I am not the world's biggest Spider-Man fan, but I like a good superhero show when I can find one. This series was the best thing to come around since The Batman Animated Series originally aired on FOX. Other than the fact that the series was based on the movie-version of Spider-Man (which was not an entirely bad thing), this was the best-animated series EVER produced for TV. The animation was lightning-fast & really looked comic-bookish, and the writing was pretty good too. Unfortunately, MTV did not know what to do with it. MTV stuck it in a terrible time slot, and re-ran the first few episodes to death. Subsequent new episodes were hard to track down. I personally missed several of the episodes when they originally aired, so I was looking forward to the release of a collected set.

I for one liked this Spider-Man series. While I can see it might not be everyone's taste, I found it to be fun and action oriented and hope it gets a chance at a second season to develop further.
I love how the animation looks like a 3-dimensional comic book. Other's may complain that CGI should look like the Final Fantasy movie. Sure it may look real standing still but I found the performances almost creepy in how zombie-like the movement is. CGI just doesn't look real to me.
MTV's Spider-Man still has the look of a cartoon so movement issues can be forgiven. Unlike traditional cell animation, this series was able to render action scences from all angles allowing the "camera" to move through out the scene to great effect.
The voice cast is all perfect for their roles. Neil and Lisa work really well together.
And as always, don't judge a show based on internet rumors. More often than not they turn out to be completly false, just smear tactics used by angry "fanboys".

The stories are as sterile and lifeless as the animation, and the dialog is beyond awful. Although they (very) occasionally manage to capture a little bit of true Spider-Man spirit, this is almost pure concept over content. No wonder there won't be a 2nd season.

I don't know what else to say but: Blech! I watched this show, and I really tried to like it, because I'm a big Spidey fan, but I just didn't get it.
No wonder Bendis walked on this project. He was still credited as "exec producer" but he clearly had little to do with this show on any creative level. Dialog is often poor. Storylines do not seem to be thoroughly thought through.
"Flat" is the best way to describe this series.
The show is supposed to be right after "the movie," but the characters look and act nothing like the characters form the movie. And the animation, for the most part, looks like . . . well, like the SIMs or something. Some of the jumping around and swinging is pretty good, but everyday scenes are not done well considering.
I could go on, but I don't feel it's fair to myself for me to invest more creative energy into a review that the team on this show did.
I love Classic Spider-Man, I love Ultimate Spider-Man, I loved the movie. I hated this show.
'Nuff said.
P.S. Actually, the opening theme music is pretty cool, for what that's worth
