While fans breathlessly await the fate of the computer-animated New Adventures of Spider-Man (it remains in limbo after being dropped by MTV in 2003), they can enjoy three episodes of its first season on this disc (culled from the 13-episode two-disc set, which is a better choice for completists). Mainframe Entertainment (which created the cult Saturday morning series ReBoot) and writer/executive producer Brian Michael Bendis (the Ultimate Spider-Man comic) give the venerable story a spin by placing Peter Parker (voiced by Neil Patrick Harris) in college alongside pal Harry Osborn (Ian Ziering) and longtime crush Mary Jane Watson (singer Lisa Loeb). As usual, Parker/Spidey must conceal his secret identity while wrangling a host of foes, which are a mix of ones drawn from the comic book and brand new enemies. Spider-Man fans seem firmly divided into "for" and "against" camps over the animation, which beautifully captures Spidey's web-slinging, but often looks awkward when depicting everyday movement. --Paul Gaita

A diffent Spiderman for ADULTS! - Reviewed on 2008-04-02
Hi. I rarely write a review, too busy looking for work since my last place of businesses closed. The factory shut down and now at age 50 I am searching for a way to feed my family. Thank God for Amazon. Anyways, I purchased this more for myself. I had no idea of the ratings, MILD language, sexual refences? Well whatever. Personally I don't care for for this form of animation. However the writing is excellent the only complaint is the last moment of the show we are left hanging. What will become of spiderman? Is it all a mind game? Is the girl really dead? My son of 10 saw the item come in but he understands that Dad says no sometimes and does not question my authority. He answers to me, I answer to God. I go to the pawn shop sometimes and I am appalled at what some parents allow in so far as games. A big M on the cover, and they still allow it. This is the difficulty. Parents should stop whining and open their eyes. The ratings exist for a reason. To wrap, The show is great, hope MTV picks it up so I am not left hanging, not for children, enough said.
