Two boys' review: Good Spider-man entertainment, bad value
My sons (ages 6 and 4) love this new animated series, The Spectacular Spider-Man. The show is much better suited for younger audiences than Spider-Man's last animated series, which lasted only one season on MTV in 2003.
This series features all of Spider-Man's most famous villians, including the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Vulture, Rhino and Electro.
In Volume 4, Peter Parker dons the black suit, faces the Sinister Six (Vulture, Electro, Shocker, Sandman, Rhino, and Doctor Octopus) and ends the first season against his deadliest foe, Venom/Eddie Brock. Volume 4 has four episodes: Episode 10: "Persona"; Episode 11: "Group Therapy"; Episode 12: "Intervention" and Episode 13: "Nature vs. Nurture".
If you absolutely must buy a DVD right now (birthday present, etc.) this is a good choice for Spider-Man fans. Amazon has the DVD priced $5 below suggested retail price ($19.95) and this is a good choice for young children who love Spider-Man...
Another strong entry in the series
Lots of fun here for kids! The animation remains strong and the storytelling is top notch. A great adaptation of the long-running Spider-man comics series. Great way to introduce kids to the idea of ongoing story arcs between episodes as well.
Grace loves Spidey!
My four year old granddaughter Grace loves Spider-Man so I rented this DVD for her. She was mad when she came to my house and I didn't have it so I bought it. Now she watches it everytime she visits. I find myself watching it with her. The characters are nicely portrayed with pleasant voices and even though there is some violence it is not dark and menacing. This DVD has only four episodes of the first season so I have ordered the DVD with the whole first season. I will definitely get the 2nd season when it comes out, hopefully on one DVD!
