This Spiderman blew me away. There are NO flaws about it at all. It's just perfect. It's much better than the one made in the 90's (although that one was great, would love to see it on DVD sometime but it won't happen because Marvel is too greedy) and it has unique animation. It's 3D but it still looks and feels like a cartoon.
Each episode is extremely well written and directed. All the animated shots of Spiderman are superb. He actually moves like a spider, much more so than other animated versions of this series. All the action sequences were more exciting than any other Spiderman movie or series ever made.
I don't know why Marvel would only make ONE season of the best work they've ever done and leave us with such a cliffhanger season finale. For diehard fans, that's a pretty nasty thing to do. They probably won't make season 2. Good thing it was released on DVD, at least we can appreciate the greatness Marvel once had before they decided to trash everything good thing they made.

I didn't see this series while on TV... not an MTV fan... but I like Spider-man, loved the movies and read the comics, so I bought it. Very glad I did!
It took just a little while to get used to the graphics, but then I found myself really getting into the stories. Sure, the stories and situations are different from the comics, but the characterization of Peter/Spider-man is spot on. I think this series captured his angst and personality as Peter and his wit and agility as Spider-man. His abilities have never been more accurately portrayed. Awesome to watch.
The only downer is that the cliffhanger at the end is never to be resolved as the series only went for one season. Very sad. I would have LOVED to have seen more of this!
BTW - I'm female, and over 30, so even though the target audience here is younger, this series, like Spider-man himself, can be enjoyed by all generations.

The animation is hit and miss. But when it hits it's freakin beautiful! Often times when I'm watching I'll say to myself "Wow that looks cool." Other times the animation falls a bit flat. Especially in daylight. It really looks good during night sequences with a lot of dramatic lighting effects.
I think everything else about it is great.

This series is incredible. It is an excellent show, with excellent graphics, and amazing writing. The voice cast stands out also.

Meh. I dug the graphics, but the new villains that were made up for MTV were so-so.
Cool visuals, not too much substance, definitely an MTV production.
