My husband loves it, but it wouldn't be appropriate for young children due to language mostly.

I watch this movie, with my grandson,and its better than the old ones that first came out,
when SpiderMan was created.

What parents need to realize is you can't just buy something for your children with no research at all. Just because something says "Spiderman" on it, doesn't mean it has to be for little kids. Just because something is animated doesn't mean it's for kids. Spiderman and many other characters were made a long time ago, and people that liked it then are older now. We would like to be able to enjoy OUR characters as well as share with kids new to them, but there is often a separation at some point where some things are made for newer viewers and children, and some to the mature audience that have become fans.

Wake up and realize animation can be for adults. It's not a toy, it's an art form. Maybe you should care a little more about your kids to take a minute to research stuff you get them instead of just grabbing something to get them off your back for 20 minutes.

Have a nice day.

I agree with Jane! I bought this video for my four year old son because he's a Spider-man fanatic. Little did I know that this series is not meant for children. When we started to watch with him, I couldn't believe what I was hearing so I flipped the box over to find the rating (never dreaming there was one since I bought this in a toy store right next to a stack of Teletubbie videos!) There is a PGV rating on the back for violence but they don't tell you about the adult language as well as the sexual references. Needless to say we shut it off and tried to distract him with a more appropriate video for his age. I don't know if I'd let my 16 year old watch this!

I found the DVD to be completey inappropriate for children. Too much violance and too much swearing. My kids watched 5 minutes of it and its now in the garbage.

Three episodes from the recently cancelled "Spider-Man" series aired on MTV during the summer of 2003 are presented here by Columbia/Tri-Star Home Video.

All thirteen episodes have already been made availible on the recent special edition set that included a host of extras for fans of the show. This particular reviewer found the animated series to be something of a disappointment due to the forced attempts to "hip up" the character of Peter Parker and a number of absolutely terrible villains. The animation is also a mixed bag as well -- many of the computer generated sequences of Spider-Man web-swinging over New York City are terrific, while scenes with the character (and his college friends) out of costume are far less convincing.

This particular DVD release features the introduction of a revamped Electro (voiced by Ethan Embry) in the first episode aired on MTV entitled, "The Party." Spider-Man faces Electro again in another weaker entry, "When Sparks Fly," before tangling with a perfectly dreadful adversary, Talon (with a horrible voice by pop star, Eve) in "Keeping Secrets."

Fans of the series should skip this bare bones release and buy the special edition instead.

This was the Spider-Man cartoon that came on MTV, not the hit one that was from Fox Kids.Its kind of a waste of money. You can these episodes along with the 13 episodes that were released earlier. But if you only liked some of the episodes, then you might like to have this one.
