Spider-Man meets some of his greatest foes and rediscovers his own identity

[willierap · 8/10 · 21 January 2007]

A lot of these modern type made for video animated movies with super heroes are of inferior quality, as many of you probably already know, but not so with this movie. My almost five year old son just absolutely loves it.

As an introduction to Spider-Man's abilities, enemies and past this movie is quite perfect. These things nimbly unravel within the main plot, as Spider-Man begins to lose himself because of a strange gas that Dr. Octopus exposes him to which makes him forget who he is. Doc Ock's plan is to convince Spidey that they are both villains.

Luckily for Spider-Man one of his greatest fans, a young girl, decides to help him rediscover who he really is. Because of this, the viewer will also learn about the origin of this super hero as he himself reminisces about his past.

I recommend this movie for every parent who feels that their boys or girls are still too young to see the live action movies just yet.

i was not very impressed

(this review/comment is my own personal opinion)this DVD really disappointed me.firstly,i found it tediously slow and boring.i don't think it was fun at all,unlike the 1960's cartoon.maybe that was the whole point,but it doesn't work for me.the 1960's cartoon may have been cheesy all around,but it was fun to watch. and had great sound effects.but his particular movie has none of that.i also think the animation is lacklustre.if you are new to Spider-Man,the origin they showed on this feature is not completely in keeping with the mythology.i had to quit watching after about 30 minutes,when i couldn't take any more.for me,this movie is a 2/10 at best
