Summary: Nicholas Hammond's Grown-Up role
Comment: This scared me,some as a child.I wonder if it's on DVD? Nicholas Hammond is a hunk! There were no Villians of the Spider-Man cartoons,no M.J,White cat,just people I never heard of. He was the kid who was Fredrich on The Sound Of Music.

Summary: Fond memories
Comment: I remember watching this when I was at school and loving it, mind you watching now I am reminded how 70's it looks. I was a huge fan of the comics and although Aunt May is in it as is the daily Bugle this tv movie was world's away from the comics. Having said that Nicholas Hammond plays a very nervous Peter Parker and is great in the role, the martial arts sequences are extremely entertaining. This is lots of fun.

Summary: For Older Fans Only (Like Me!)
Comment: What can be said about this video that others haven't already said? No Uncle Ben being shot, no guilt from Peter, no angst, no insecurites, no Mary Jane Watson, Betty Brant, or Gwen Stacy, no high-school bullies like Flash Thompson, no Green Goblin, Scorpion, Lizard, Kingpin, or Vulture! The costume looks like pajamas & this rendition of Spidey is pretty much a straight cops & robbers adventure with a guy who crawls on walls & a madman bent on mind control. To top it off, J. Jonah Jameson isn't the hypocritical, self-serving skin-flint he's supposed to be.So why watch it? Well, if you were a 7 year-old kid when these Marvel Made-For-TV CBS Specials were released back in 1977, then that's a good enough reason to buy it! I still enjoy this video! The martial-arts fight scenes are fun to watch (he takes on three big Asian guys armed with bamboo swords!), Nicholas Hammond is likeable as Peter Parker, & the '70's theme-song for the Spider-Man Specials (which wasn't used in this pilot, but would be used in the later episodes) is really catchy! They even have Aunt May in this tv pilot!
If you're a young teen to twenty-something fan of Spider-Man, raised on computer-graphics, & expecting an accurate rendition of the comic-book character, then this isn't for you! (The current Sam Raimi directed/Tobey Maguire starring blockbuster, admittedly, is thousands of times ahead of this dated tv show.) But, if you're like me (and my age), then this is a fun, light, & enjoyable look back at the way they used to do action shows back in the '70's. And how about those '70's fashions, huh?!

Summary: After School Flashback
Comment: After days of searching the web, I was finally able to locate a video of the original spiderman video. Viewing it with my children was a blast and I was mentally transported back to those awesome after school memories of watching spidey battle the ever-losing gang of thugs from the 70s. My kids watched this spiderman video with more attention than I did when I was 8-9 years old. It occured to me that their animation expertise far exceeds my own. I want more original Spiderman videos made available. If anyone knows where they can be purchased, please e-mail me with that information.

Summary: Great childhood memories "An 8 year olds dream"
Comment: I still love this movie.OK the effects are crude, the plots is not very exciting,Peter is too old but it is still great.The one thing I didnt like and still dont is the reasons for Peter creating a costume,becoming a superhero etc,all because he needs to raise$46'come on the spandex would have cost more than that!Still its concept and realism excels SUPERMAN THE MOVIE(No hammy villains),and it cost a LOT less to make!
