Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
arv-55231 When looking at the rating for this particular show on IMDb prior to watching it, I was quite disappointed to find it sitting at 6.3. However, with Spider-Man being my favourite superhero and having seen all the other Spider-Man animated series' and films, I wanted to see it. The Spectacular Spider-Man was great, we all know that. I did not enjoy the Ultimate Spider-Man much and the 1990s version was just decent. However, as a Spidey fan, I feel this new one is a bit underrated. Most aspects of this series I really do like:Spider-Man/Peter Parker: This is as good a Spider-Man/Peter Parker portrayal as there will ever be. He feels and looks just like he should. Peter Parker is the science kid and is always innocent and busy. Spider-Man is very funny and cool to watch. I loved the Spectacular Spider-Man, but this new Spider-Man/Peter Parker, is just as good. (10/10)Supporting Characters: The supporting characters are different to usual. Peter Parker does not go to Midtown but to Horizon High, which is designed for science kids. There's Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborn and a few others. Although the interactions are all good, personally I am not a fan of Miles Morales being part of a Peter Parker Spider-Man story. I feel it takes away from Peter Parker's Spider-Man, yet the emphasis is always really on Peter Parker's Spider-Man. Despite the limited role of Miles Morales, I would have hoped he just wasn't part of this series but he really is quite likeable. I prefer Spider-Man going to midtown high, with the constant interactions with Flash, Sally, Liz, MJ, Gwen etc, but this version suits me just fine after watching it. The one issue I do have is that there is too much focus on Peter Parker with Harry Osborn. I would have preferred to see more ineractions with the other supporting characters; Anya, Gwen, Miles, Aunt May etc. (9/10)Story: The villain stories are a bit far fetched as they always are, but sometimes it does get a bit ridiculous, but because it's Spidey, and it's fun, it's still enjoyable to watch. As mentioned previously, I do wish they showed more of Peter Parker's life though, say, more interactions with Aunt May, and even more interactions at Horizon High. In the Spectacular Spider-Man, they balanced Peter Parker and Spider-Man very well. Here, the two characters are balanced well, but most of Peter Parker's interactions are with Harry Osborn, I wish they would bring other characters in a lot more often. Something which is quite likeable is how the villains are dealt with, it's always something related to science and the people around Peter Parker. He and his friends usually work together to come to a conclusion in which they all use their scientific brains. That's a huge factor of Spider-Man and i'm glad this series shows that. (9/10)Overall, I feel this a very underrated series. If Peter Parker was the only Spider-Man, and if more of Peter Parker's interactions were shown with Gwen Stacy, Liz Allen, Flash, Aunt May and others, I would have probably have liked this series as much as the Spectacular Spider-Man series because they have got the character of Spider-Man/Peter Parker spot on here. As a Spider-Man fan, I recommend it, it's better than the Ultimate Spider-Man (which had too many outsiders coming into Spidey's universe) and also the 1990s version (As I prefer a younger Spider-Man/Peter Parker).
harsimarpurewal I think it will grow and it will will become better, i hope they will improve the storyline
jorjantepa If this show is terminated I will hang myself off of Harry's glider. This is honestly the best Spider-Man show a person could ever witness, this is due to the image that was given to Peter Parker/Spider-Man and other characters such as Miles, Harry and even Norman. If there was an option to give this infinite stars I would 100% click it.
vexborgface I realize I am not the target audience for this particular incarnation of Spider-Man, and that's why I rated it a 6, instead of a 4.This toon is fine. It's not great, and for my personal taste, it's not even really that good...just...fine. The plots are rushed and extremely surface-level, and there are a lot of inconsistencies that I can't even imagine younger teens being willing to overlook, much less an adult viewer. The insertion of multiple characters per episode, and new ones in each new episode may excite fanboys and fangirls who just want to see all the fight and flash, but in relation to plot, it just feels like they're all thrown in there to sell toys and breakfast cereal. It's not cohesive, and they treat you like a 5 year old one moment, while discussing vaguely correct scientific terms, the next. I understand we live in a faster-paced world than the one these characters originally matured in...but I feel this is dumbed down & sped up, to the point of not being worthy of the attention of a discerning viewer. On the positive side, it's easy to watch and does have decent quip-writing, at times, and the pace fits Spider-Man, fairly well, if you don't have any real interest in story. If you can just turn your brain off and enjoy the existence of it, then it will at least be good background noise. Again, I am not the demographic...so I guess that's OK. If you have kids...watch this with them. They will enjoy it, and you probably won't hate it.
