This series was awful, but it's Spider-Man so I had to give it some stars. As a huge Spider-Man fan, I wanted this series to work, but it just didn't quite become what it should have. Things like his spider-sense telling him there's a bomb on the car instead of just warning him of danger. They couldn't even get that right. Yes, it's just wrong when they can't even get the character or his basic powers right. The show has quite the cast (the best by far being Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin, reprising his role from the live action Daredevil), but so much of the casting and voice acting feels way off. The story lines want to be original, but in so many ways they could have been fill-in-the-superhero stories, not Spider-Man stories. They are often college stories and villains with only a few Spider-Man villains appearing, which is sad considering there were 13 episodes. Spider-Man of the 90's was great, and Spectacular Spider-Man was fantastic (though the Sony DVD releases are a Sony rip-off giving 3 episodes for $20). This Spider-Man was an weak attempt: they added nothing to the Spider- Man mythos, had no stories that grabbed me, the swearing geared the series to teens but there was still had no real intelligence to the stories. It wasn't just weak or a wannabe series, it was stale. Very very stale and disappointing. At times it felt like they had weak stories already written, and threw Spider-Man in just to make them more interesting...
score 3/10
