I watch this movie, with my grandson,and its better than the old ones that first came out,
when SpiderMan was created.

This is absolutely not for kids! It is misleading when it is sold in the toy store. The first 2 minutes start with the hazing of a "geek" and "loser" by fraternity brothers. There is some reference to a "nude beer bash." Then screaming, "What the hell?" I could not run to the machine to turn it off fast enough (my children are 4 and 3). Anyway, I am sorry to give it a poor rating because I'm sure it's great for older, die-hard Spidey fans, but under 16, I would say no way! (I would probably generalize this info to all the "Spider-Man- The New Animated Series."

I am amazed how many angry mother's gave this a 1 star review because it's not appropriate for their kids!!! Just because you're mad that it isn't age appropriate doesn't mean it's bad. IT'S YOUR FAULT!!!

This is a great series for anyone over the age of 10 or so. There is very little language and the words they use are on par with "hell." This is my favorite incarnation of Spider-Man. Neil Patrick Harris is a wonderful pick to play Peter Parker. The animation really grows on you and it has some great story lines. I'm a big fan of the Spidey comics and I can't get enough of this series.

My husband loves it, but it wouldn't be appropriate for young children due to language mostly.

THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED.
QUOTES: Damn It!

What the hell!

Heard her midterm is a real bitch.

...sorority nude beer bash.

College is just high school with ashtrays.

Oh God! I'm so stupid!

After all hell broke loose...

If you need inspiration, I'm getting naked down here.

Didn't you get your ass kicked enough the last time?

This was the Spider-Man cartoon that came on MTV, not the hit one that was from Fox Kids.Its kind of a waste of money. You can these episodes along with the 13 episodes that were released earlier. But if you only liked some of the episodes, then you might like to have this one.

I too got this movie for my young child. Happy Birthday to my son when he couldn't even watch the movie he got. The movie had bad language and a female actually tried to coherse a man by saying I'm waiting for you naked. I doubled checked the box for the rating and it said tv/pgv, parental guidance, moderate violence. I picked this movie up in the kids section at Best Buy, right next to Bratz movies and teletubbies, just to name a couple. It was so sad to have to turn off his new Spidey-Man movie. :(

It would be nice if this was labeled that it is intended for adults. I was dissapointed that I could not watch this with my kids. The swearing seems out of place...almost as if it was forced. The animation is dated, but I think still good for a T.V. show.

I love Spider-Man, I thought the stories in the video were pretty good adn the animation for a TV cartoon was really good. I am just totally annoyed with the content. THIS IS NOT A KIDS CARTOON!!!!!

I got this from the library for my son to watch and had to quickly turn it off. The language is totally out of place for a kid's show. Mary Jane is constantly going off taking the Lord's name in vain and everyone else is swearing up a storm as well. One of the episodes even had implied sex between Harry Osborne and the female villian.

Since when did Spiderman and his cronies start shacking up with babes??? That stuff was reserved for other show not kids tv cartoons.

I REALLY WISH THE PRODUCT WOULD HAVE BEEN LABELED MORE CLEARLY THAT IT WAS NOT A KID'S SHOW.

With that said I would never go out and buy this for my kids but for adults who grew up with Spiderman the action, animation and story lines are pretty good. I might check out a few more from the library FOR ME but the content is not appropriate for the intended audience.

What parents need to realize is you can't just buy something for your children with no research at all. Just because something says "Spiderman" on it, doesn't mean it has to be for little kids. Just because something is animated doesn't mean it's for kids. Spiderman and many other characters were made a long time ago, and people that liked it then are older now. We would like to be able to enjoy OUR characters as well as share with kids new to them, but there is often a separation at some point where some things are made for newer viewers and children, and some to the mature audience that have become fans.

Wake up and realize animation can be for adults. It's not a toy, it's an art form. Maybe you should care a little more about your kids to take a minute to research stuff you get them instead of just grabbing something to get them off your back for 20 minutes.

Have a nice day.
