 I used to love watching the old Spider-Man cartoon when I was growing up, and I've known all the lyrics to the theme for years. I was really intrigued by this DVD set, since I could barely remember the show, so I decided to pick it up since I got a fantastic deal using a Barnes & Noble coupon. The first couple of discs were really fun - my nostalgia totally kicked in! I loved seeing the classic Spider-Man villains like the Green Goblin and the Lizard, and all kinds of scenes triggered lots of fun kiddie memories. The early episodes were made up of a couple short stories, so I was looking forward to watching a couple every day for awhile (even though Spidey says "Wallopin' websnappers!" way too much). Then suddenly, the whole show starts to suck - I can't believe how it instantly transforms into complete trash! I've read about how budget constraints and Ralph Bakshi totally ruined things, but I never knew how bad it could be. The backgrounds become blobs of LSD-inspired watercolors, every single bad guy gets green skin, and the reuse of old animation is so bad that sometimes mouths move when no dialogue is spoken! The stories get really stupid, too - they ditch all the classic baddies and end up going back in time, fighting plant creatures or taking on monsters from Atlantis. Spider-Man was never meant for villains like these! I could go on and on - it took serious dedication to make it through the whole set. If you can borrow or rent the first two DVDs only, enjoy!Labels: dvds |
