There are few cartoons that hit just the right sweet spot of being acceptable for kids to watch
There are few cartoons that hit just the right sweet spot of being acceptable for kids to watch, but also being witty and entertaining for adults. this game isn't a gem, nor a goldmine, it is the flawless diamond of cartoons. I do not say this lightly while considering other amazing shows such as Invader Zim, Kim Possible, Powerpuff Girls, Animaniacs, and so fourth. No other cartoon brings fourth such a believable cast, honest highschool drama, witty humor, convincing villains, and great action. In fact, no other show comes close to accomplishing what this one did in just two seasons. Every villain has a backstory and a setup, and every fight some sweet moves.Considering the entirety of the show there are only two problems that one can come up with. The first, obviously, being how we were cut so short thanks to Disney buying Marvel. The second is a small plot hole they created themselves thanks to a single line of sloppy writing early on (which I can easily forgive) So if you want to watch some great cartoon, give this one a try. I promise within 24 hours you will find yourself humming the themesong.

Truly Spectacular!
This was an incredible series, and I was super disappointed it got cancelled. Hailing from 2008, this animated series came right on the heels of the Tobey Maguire era, so there are obviously tropes and homages to the films within the series. This was the Spider-man we needed, and to be honest, I feel this series may have inspired current film Spider-man Tom Holland. The series has Parker as a sarcastic, witty, intelligent, yet awkward teen. He's unpopular, but as the series progresses, he gains some popularity, albeit through the poor choices that someone his age might make, like choosing the cheerleader over your childhood friend who clearly likes you, but I digress. The series only loses a star in my book for the artwork. The artwork is fine, but all cartoons around this time remind me of Jeff Matsuda's work (The Batman, Jackie Chan Adventures). Aside from that, any Spidey fan needs to add this to their collection!

Left me wanting more
I bought this series based on customer reviews without ever see it before I got it. When I first played it I was somewhat disappointed with the design of the show. I think it was the eyes mainly. But I watched anyway and over the last few weeks and today I finished the last disc. And now I'm back on Amazon looking for more of this series only to find out that there were only 2 seasons made and being "The Complete Series" I've seen them both. It's not as great as Batman the Animated Series but it's better than OK. I found it entertaining and it left me wanting more. On a side note some of the other reviews complained of broken tabs in the case and mine came with a broken tab too. I hate that.

Fantastic series! Good things do end sooner...
This is Spidey at his finest. Story-wise and character-wise, it is faithful to comics and has top notch animation: especially during fights. Visual style may look a bit kiddish, but it only looks that way...good story-lines and complex plots make it a pure gem for all ages. So much love went into this series!Heard it ended due to Marvel/Sony dispute over rights further complicated by Disney's Marvel acquisition. We really wanted more Spidey, Green Goblin, and debut of fan favorite villains like Carnage, Scorpion etc. Oh well :(The audio and video here are incredible, by the way. Would have appreciated more special features though. (Perhaps few unreleased episodes/storyboards of them?) Anyway, like another reviewer said, happy with we got here. Now, can we get 90s Spiderman animated's complete series too, please?

Not just for kids!
Except for Stan Lee and John Romita's Spider-man run in Marvel Comics back in the 60s, this is my favorite Spidey rendition ever. Solid stories and great looking animation. This is Spider-man's version of Batman: The Animated Series IMO. This IS spectacular!

This series really gets Spidey
I know, I know. Lots of folks rave about how great this show is. But it's true. The characters have all been updated, but still retain their classic spirit at the same time. And they really nailed both Peter and Spider-man. The voice acting is excellent all around especially Josh Keaton as Peter Parker/Spidey.The Blu-ray quality was super, and while I woulda like more, the bonus features were nice. If you are a Spidey fan, you should really give this show a try.

I love this series
I love this series. I first watched it on Disney XD in 2009 when it premiered there. Over the years I had forgotten what the episodes and series included but remembered loving it back then so one day I decided to look it up again and once I got the name again I looked it up on Amazon. I was delighted to find that the series was on Blue Ray and ordered it the minute I got the chance to. As I watched it all the episodes and what happened in them came back to me and I fell in love with the series all over again. I just finished re watching it tonight. I have to say I love it just as much as I did when I watched it the first time on TV all those years ago and the fact its on Blue Ray makes it even better. The picture and sound is amazing. My only complaint about the Blue Ray is that each disk lists all the episodes from the season and doesn't just list the episodes on the disk so it made things confusing at first. Also when you select an episode not on the current disk your watching it says insert either disk 1 or disk 2. It doesn't go by disks 1 through 4. However the disks are properly labeled with the numbers 1 through 4 so that doesn't make it a huge issue if you know the disk your currently on. I also wish this came with more special features but oh well I'll take what I can get. I'm just glad the whole series was released and now I can enjoy it forever. It was great re watching the series because it almost felt like I was watching it for the first time because I hadn't seen it in years and forgot most of what happened until seeing it again. I hated that it ended on a cliff hanger though just like I did back then when I watched it years ago. Too bad it was canceled. I always thought it deserved more seasons. Despite the cliff hanger I still love it though and I'm very glad I own it.

A fantastic series. One of the best adaptions of Spider-man, plus it's region free.

WARNING - Import with none UK region. Needs region free player.
Would not play as wrong region. So useless. Also minor damage to box in transit due to poor packaging. Would not give it one star if that was an option.

Sorprendente y espectacular
La que es para mi opinión, la mejor serie de Spider-Man en un sólo producto.La imagen es de lo mejor y el audio viene en inglés y español, ambos en 5.1Indudable no tenerla en tú colección si eres fan de Spider-Man.

Una forma buena de tener la serie, no la ideal. (DVD)
Esta serie es una de las mejores adaptaciones del personaje, no tengo mucho que decir acerca de ella, aquellos que van a comprar el producto ya saben lo grandiosa que es, y si no la has visto en tu vida, te recomiendo totalmente que lo hagas.Características (Versión DVD). 8 discos con 3 a 4 episodios, Idiomas en Inglés/Francés, sin subtítulos, tráilers de distintas películas y series.¿Cuál es el estado del paquete? Vino 2 daños, el primero se encuentra en el plástico protector sobre la espina del estuche, nada mayor pero tuve que colocar cinta para que no se expanda el corte que poseía; el segundo daño esta dentro del estuche, un trozo de plástico que impide sellar la parte inferior del estuche, nada de que preocuparse ya que se sella lo suficiente con el clip superior, pero se siente desprotegido de igual modo.¿Para quién va dirigido este producto? Si deseas poseer la versión física de la serie, supongo que este hace el trabajo, posee 8 discos que son reutilizados de los volúmenes independientes que se vendieron previamente, lo cual se me hace un poco flojo de parte del distribuidor de la serie, porqué la versión en Blu-Ray si posee solo 4 discos, y es así porque no tenían una versión de Blu-Ray existente, si puedes consigue esa, tiene el mismo contenido pero en mejor resolución, además de Detrás de cámaras que esta versión no.En mi caso, esta fue mi única opción de conseguir la serie, y no estoy desconforme ya que se trata de una buena serie, pero de haber tenido la oportunidad de conseguir la de Blu-Ray, lo hubiera conseguido.
