Movie Reviews of Spider-Man - The '67 Collection (6 Volume Animated Set)

Movie Review: Remembered as being great as a kid turning out to be terribly bad as an adult
Summary: 2 Stars

I was a big fan of Spider-Man as a kid and later on as I got older I enjoyed the comic books. I was looking forward to seeing this cartoon but I was disapointed in it. I am not sure if I saw this cartoon as a kid or a different one(I was born in 71). If so it is an example of something remembered as being great as a kid turning out to be terribly bad as an adult. What makes it so bad is they totally dropped the teen angst and troubles of Peter Parker. They give Spider-Man a cheesy Superman hero type of a voice that does not match the character. Worse the animation is cheap and they use the same shots over and over and over ad nauseum until you are ready to tear your hair out. If you must rent this don't go beyond the first 3 discs. At least these have some of the classic villians like Green Goblin, Vulture, etc. There are also some funny scenes with J Jonah Jameson and Betty Brant. Discs 4-6 are awful and so bad noone should be tortured by having to watch them. The first 3 or 4 episodes of disc 4 are especially bad in that they use the same caves, castles, monsters, etc. over and over and over again. Why do they have Spider-Man fighting primitive tribal men, giant bugs, aliens, demons, etc?? It looks as though other cartoons with leftover footage were cut and pasted together with existing Sider-Man footage from earlier episodes. Worst of all is disc 6 where they actually take footage of previous Spider-Man episodes and recycle them for new episodes!! Not just background scenes but major parts of the stories!! Reminds me of Ed Wood. Just awful and embarrasing. 2 stars for discs 1-3 Negative stars for discs 4-6.

Summary of Spider-Man - The '67 Collection (6 Volume Animated Set)

Eight years before Tobey Maguire was born, the animated Spider-Man spun his first web across America's television screens. The program ran from 1967 through 1970 on ABC, and imprinted its theme song, "Spider-Man, Spider-Man/ Does whatever a spider can / Spins a web, any size / Catches thieves--just like flies" on a generation of viewers.

The comic book Spider-Man, who debuted in Marvel's Amazing Fantasy in 1962, epitomized the superhero as antihero. During his battles with bizarre villains, Peter Parker was beset by self-doubts and personal problems. The animated Spider-Man was a straightforward action superhero who was too busy performing weird stunts like fashioning a boat and motor out of spider webs to worry or agonize.

From the opening titles that announce the program is "in COLOR," Spider-Man feels dated. When he fights Electro, Spidey can fend off blasts of electricity because he's added "just a little asbestos to my web liquid"; when he discovers the extent of his new powers, Peter dreams of a spot on The Ed Sullivan Show. Although the directors include Ralph Bakshi and former Disney artist Clyde Geronimi, the animation is extremely limited. The same shots of Spiderman swinging over New York appear again and again. But these limits probably won't trouble nostalgic adults who grew up watching Spider-Man on Saturday mornings: "Wherever there's a hang-up / You'll find the Spider-Man!" (Unrated, suitable for ages 7 and older: cartoon violence, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon


Here they are -- all 52 episodes of Spider-Man's original 1967 classic television series, now completely restored in full color and bursting with spectacular Spidey action! Experience every amazing moment of Spider-Man's first appearance on TV in the animated series that electrified Saturday morning audiences from 1967-1970. Featuring the Web-Slinger's greatest foes, including Dr. Octopus, The Green Goblin, Mysterio, The Rhino, Dr. Magneto, and so many more.
