Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My sons (ages 6 and 4) love this new animated series, The Spectacular Spider-Man. The show is much better suited for younger audiences than Spider-Man's last animated series, which lasted only one season on MTV in 2003.
This series features all of Spider-Man's most famous villians, including the Green Goblin, Venom, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Vulture, Rhino and Electro. In Volume 3, Peter Parker finds himself amidst more dangerous arch enemies, including the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus and Tombstone.
If you absolutely must buy a DVD right now (birthday present, etc.) this is a good choice for Spider-Man fans. Amazon has the DVD priced $5 below suggested retail price ($19.95) and this is a good choice for young children who love Spider-Man.
The more economical decision is to wait for a DVD set release of all 26 episodes from Seasons 1 and 2, which should be priced around $30. It was announced earlier this year that Season 2 would move from the CW network to Disney XD. Season 2 is scheduled to begin in March 2009. However, the Spectacular Spider-Man ended production after completing the 26th episode (the end of Season 2). A third season might happen, depending on the ratings Season 2 gets on Disney XD.
In summary, I'd rate The Spectacular Spider-Man series five stars based on the entertainment value for young superhero fans. The shows are accessible without being too scary or adult for the under-10 audience. However, by marketing the first season into four DVDs, I deduct two stars. The series is overpriced, especially in light of the current economy.

Your favorite web-slinging Super Hero returns for excitement in more episodes of this animated adventure! Peter Parker is on top of the world when his date, Mary Jane Watson, is the hit of the Midtown High Fall Formal, sending Peter's popularity rating sky high. But he's brought down to earth with a resounding thud when the Green Goblin threatens to beat Hammerhead and Tombstone at their own criminal game. When Dr. Octavius joins the bastion of super villains as the megalomaniacal Dr. Octopus, Spidey's really got his work cut out for him. Our hero's greatest challenge however, will be facing the awful truth about the Green Goblin's true identity. Balancing home, school and Super Hero life has never been so challenging!
