Summary: not really for kids
Comment: The series is entertaining for adults, however, you may not want to buy
this for kids. I bought it for my 9 yr old son. The story lines and animation
are good... but... lots of sexual innuendo. And some curse words. Why the
cursing is in there is beyond me. must be an MTV thing. but it ruins
the show for broad viewing. The sexual implications are also unnecessary but added in to entice hormone-overdosed kids.

Summary: You child may like it but it really isn't for younger kids
Comment: My 3 year old picked this at the video store the other day and love it. However, I was not as pleased. There is cursing, sexual suggestions (mild but still there), and characters do die. Fortunately he did not catch the swearing (we don't curse around him) and he's too young to understand anything sexual. But he is at an age when questions about death arise and this did not help. If you do choose to let your younger viewer watch this then definitely use caution but I wouldn't recommend it.

From my adult eye, I also have to say I'm not a big fan of that style of animation. It kind of feels like watching a video game. And the voice of Spiderman just didn't fit somehow.

Summary: Two boys' review: Made for teens, not young Spidey fans
Comment: There are plenty of reviews on Amazon about this DVD. My message is simple: the DVD is suited for teens and older, not young superhero fans.

WB launched a new series this year (2008) called "The Spectacular Spider-Man" that is better suited to kids under 10.

Summary: Not a fan of Cel Shading, but this Slings
Comment: I really miss this show. Mtv used to do some really cool stuff; now it's all Tila Tequila and company. There's a new Spidey cartoon on the way, but it's traditional cel animation, not CG, and looks terrible. This at least dealt with some more adult themes in a not-too-adult way. If you dig this, seek out Reboot from the same animation studion (if you can find it)!

Summary: my sons love spiderman!
Comment: I was hesitant when purchasing this moving because some of the negative reviews for children. However, I thought I would give it a try and I am glad I did. My sons, ages 4 and 2.5 years old love this DVD! It has some mild violence (punching and such) but not any gruesome violence, and yes, Mary Jane is more sexy looking than my young sons need to see (but honestly they are too young to even notice). There is a ton of spideman scenes which is just want they enjoy. I would definately recommend this move for the true child spiderman lovers!


Editorial Reviews:

When a nasty bite by an irradiated spider endows teenager Peter Parker with miraculous, arachnid-like powers, his death defying heroism wins him admiration from those in need. But being a superhero has its drawbacks...especially when you're in college! As Peter gains the trust of his friends, the police call him a vigilante. But he meets the challenge by exercising his wonderful powers for the good of all. Multi-talented performer Neil Patrick Harris (Undercover Brother, Starship Troopers), television star Ian Ziering ("Beverly Hills 90210"), and singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb ("Cake and Pie"), lend their vocal talents to this thrilling, computer-animated version of the comic book classic and mega-hit feature film, Spider-Man.
