I bought this video for my four year old son because he's a Spider-man fanatic. Little did I know that this series is not meant for children. When we started to watch with him, I couldn't believe what I was hearing so I flipped the box over to find the rating (never dreaming there was one since I bought this in a toy store right next to a stack of Teletubbie videos!) There is a PGV rating on the back for violence but they don't tell you about the adult language as well as the sexual references. Needless to say we shut it off and tried to distract him with a more appropriate video for his age. I don't know if I'd let my 16 year old watch this!

I recieved the 13 episode special for Christmas and it includes these 3 episodes on the DVD. It is the best DVD I have ever recieved I loved it, all of it.I liked the way they have updated the characters and music, I have a constant smile on my face every time I re-watch all 13 episodes.The fight scenes are amazing and I love the 3D effect of him swinging through the streets.I would definatley recommend this DVD to everyone.
5 thumbs up!

This was the Spider-Man cartoon that came on MTV, not the classic one from Fox Kids. Its kind of a waste of money since these episodes are already on DVD with the 13 Episode set released earlier. If you noly liked some of the episodes from the cartoon then you might want to be pick this one up. It contains the first three episodes.

I absolutely could not believe this cartoon. Can you imagine a superhero using swear words? Well, that's what you have with this one. still can't believe it. What on earth are they trying to do with Spiderman? This obviously is a series for adults because, quite frankly, superheroes are supposed to be out for justice, truth and the american way, not to spend time in the gutter learning all the trash they can to spread it wherever. I don't recommend this product at all. Ours is going into the trash!

my grandsons loved this movie as much as the first spiderman. it helped me out by having this movie along with the others when i have house cleaning to do. thanks for great movies for kids as these

Saw a clip of this new series on YouTube and decided to buy it for my little ones. Turned out to be a little to racy for the little ones... Maryjane's walking around in half tops and micro minis. LOL Even my husband was questioning what I bought. This is more for the teenager/college student that enjoys watching mature cartoons. Very entertaining tho....

Totally not appropriate for children, and I didn't see a rating associated with the movie to clarify who it's intended for. Inappropriate language. The package was received timely however.

Hi. I rarely write a review, too busy looking for work since my last place of businesses closed. The factory shut down and now at age 50 I am searching for a way to feed my family. Thank God for Amazon. Anyways, I purchased this more for myself. I had no idea of the ratings, MILD language, sexual refences? Well whatever. Personally I don't care for for this form of animation. However the writing is excellent the only complaint is the last moment of the show we are left hanging. What will become of spiderman? Is it all a mind game? Is the girl really dead? My son of 10 saw the item come in but he understands that Dad says no sometimes and does not question my authority. He answers to me, I answer to God. I go to the pawn shop sometimes and I am appalled at what some parents allow in so far as games. A big M on the cover, and they still allow it. This is the difficulty. Parents should stop whining and open their eyes. The ratings exist for a reason. To wrap, The show is great, hope MTV picks it up so I am not left hanging, not for children, enough said.

grandson was tickled to death with it ,has already watched it a couple times since Christmas!

The best cartoon series ever done on my favorite super-hero, and I've watched most of the other ones. It's a shame it didn't last very long. Is it an accurate description of the comic book Spider-Man? No, but so what! Neither are the other cartoons, or the movies for that matter. It's really as if we go back to the early days of Peter Parker (which would have been in the early '60's) and see what it would have been like if it took place in the early 21st century. It doesn't have the serious tone of the comics (or movies) but it's not aimed at young children either.
