4.0 out of 5 stars Where are the DVDs?, December 9, 2011

This review is from: The Amazing Spider Man [VHS] (1977) (VHS Tape)

Why has this never been released on DVD? With the success of Raimi's Spiderman series, you would think the company that owns this film would want to cash in. Like some many others that grow up in the 80's, I remember this film with great fondness and would gladly buy it if was made available on DVD.

3.0 out of 5 stars Like Some Kitsch?, May 3, 2003

Okay, I saw this movie when I was 9 for the first time, so it's nostalgic for me. It was the first time seeing Spider-man live action! Now, new viewers will find the special effects horrible, Spider-Man's costume laughable, and his opponents unworthy. But it's worth seeing if you can avoid comparing to last year's blockbuster. Nicholas Hammond is earnest, if a bit old, as Peter Parker. There are some amusing moments between him and David "Larry Tate" White as Jonah Jameson, and the groovy 70's soundtrack will have you snapping your fingers. Thayer David of "Dark Shadows" chews the scenery to entertaining effect--if he's not a super-villain, he is at least convincing and menacing as Byron, a mind-control specialist who (inexplicably) employs three bamboo-wielding Kung-Fu henchmen to guard his pad when he's not around! You'll be shaking your head and chuckling after it's all over, but glad you sat through it.

I saw this years ago and the series is hard to get. Even though the acting and sound effects sound horrible, its still a classic.
