ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

shaunsingh14 In 1999, DC and Marvel ended up releasing two futuristic sequels to their much beloved TV shows, Spider-Man and Batman: The Animated Series. DC released the lauded cyberpunk classic Batman Beyond, which is also the third instalment of the DC animated universe. On the other hand, Marvel ended up releasing Spider-Man Unlimited, an implied sequel to the 1994 Spider-Man cartoon (it's never explicitly stated). Unlike Batman Beyond, SMU ended up bombing in ratings and in reception.Initially, SMU was supposed to be a Spider-Man 2099 adaptation, but that idea was canned in favour of... this which still ended up taking a lot of elements from Spider-Man 2099 (like the costume and futuristic setting). I just want to know what kind of mind-altering drugs that the staff were on when they came up with the very concept: Peter Parker wearing a Spider-Man suit made out of nanotechnology travelling to an alternate dimension ruled by the High Evolutionary and half-human/half-beast creatures populate the Earth all the while Venom and Carnage, two mortal enemies are working side-by-side under the orders of something called "the synoptic."This could've worked out, if this show didn't have Spider-Man's name tacked onto it. Why not use a different Marvel hero/group like the Guardians of the Galaxy? Better yet, why not create an original superhero for this? Why even bother canning the Spider-Man 2099 idea in the first place? Miguel O'Hara would've made an excellent counter on Marvel's part to DC's Terry McGinnis and considering the fact that barely anyone outside of devout Spidey fans have even heard of SM2099, it would've allowed for more people to discover it and it could've been just as successful, if not more successful than Peter Parker's Spider-Man. Alack, another story of what could've been.

Gabriel Hendricks SPOILERS! i started watching this with a "MAN! IS THIS GONNA SUCK!" mentality. but in all honesty..it isn't as bad as i thought. now, this isn't to say that it is a masterpiece of Saturday morning cartooning. cause its not. it has a few small plot holes, its far-fetched, and the bad guys seem to think that dressing up like a rainbow is menacing. and venom and carnage.......what did they do to you???? however, the animation (besides the colors) is good, spiderman actually made me laugh from time to time, and the overall plot line, tho far-fetched, works. It deserved a second season...but i guess it couldn't stand up to pokemon. oh well, its good for what its worth.

TheLittleSongbird I like Spider-Man a great deal, I do like the first two movies(the third not so much) and the 2003 show and I love the 90s series(haven't seen the 60s series in years though), but I have never liked Spider-Man Unlimited. I do think that Spider-Man's outfit is very cool if different, the theme tune is well done and the show does show a decent- and promising if done right- start. Unfortunately, what it promised in the first episode is not done right afterwards. The concept of putting Spider-Man on Counter-Earth just doesn't make sense to me, and the story lines generally do not engage, I found myself frustrated by its predictability and lack of sense. The writing is incredibly corny, especially with Spider-Man's "witty" quips. The characters I don't care much for, I actually found myself wondering what the point of Carnage and Venom was. Spider-Man himself is not charismatic enough and I really could have done with less of the wisecracks, while Peter Parker is just dull here. The voice acting is also lacking, Rino Romano does what he can but he could have been much more brooding, but the worst case was the laughably bad accent for the Green Goblin. The background music is over-bearing in alternative to the haunting style that you kind of expect. But other than the senseless concept and story lines the worst asset of Spider-Man Unlimited was the animation. The character designs for the animals and the villains, especially Carnage and Vemom, are just ridiculous that it hurts, and the colours are too many and too bright with not that much atmosphere evident. All in all, liked the outfit, the theme tune and the first episode, but everything else is incredibly disappointing, to me that is. 3/10 Bethany Cox

devil_may_cry_ldk_dante_sparda This cartoon bugged me a bit because it wasn't traditional but you can't live in the 70's or 50's forever. I think Spiderman's upgrades were cool and so was the theme music. If the series would've continued long enough, who knows what could've happened. Maybe he would've gone back to earth. Maybe its far fetched but this cartoon wasn't that bad. Another important factor is that monster rancher and pokemon were and probably still are dominating the air waves, which is why I appreciated this new spiderman series even more!
