Buena Vista has released another DVD that compiles the 90's animated Spider-Man series, this time to coincide with the DVD of the theaterical feature. While there are many negatives to this release, the overall package is one that fans will want to snag along with the movie.

I'm still baffled as to why the episodes are being packaged this way. The series consisted of many story arcs that ran through multiple seasons, and should not be chopped up and grouped like this. In fact, one episode here doesn't feature the Goblins as prominent villains, and another omits them entirely. Their inclusion on this disc is to help tie up the loose ends of the story, but since the title of this disc is "The Return of the Green Goblin", they seem out of place.

However, it's nice to see that even if Buena Vista is releasing compilations, the episodes are all in sequence. This ensures a bit of continuity should the rest of the series be eventually released. There are also some pretty cool extras, including a fifth episode (even though it's out of order), another episode of the classic 1967 series, interviews with Stan Lee, and a mini game that's actually fun to play; my friend and I learned some things from the mini game about Spider-Man that we never knew before. Plus, unlike the "Ultimate Villain Showdown", the episodes on this disc are some of the high-points of the series and should not be missed.

Plans have already been made to release another DVD featuring the Spider-Man/Daredevil team-up episodes to coincide with the movie when it arrives next year. This is good reassurance that more episodes will be released, and an incentive to buy this DVD. While the compilation format is dubious, the overall quality of the episodes along with the good extras and cheap price means that no Spidey fan should pass this disc up.

My grandson loves Spiderman, Venom and all of the other characters. He was happy to get this dvd and has watched it a few times before his nap. The price was good and I don't have any complaints.

This is exactly why Amazon needs to make a deal with Buena Vista Home Entertainment. This is one of my favorite cartoons as a child, and this dvd only has a handfull of episodes. WE NEED FULL SEASON BOXSETS OF THIS SHOW AMAZON, PLEASE! Buena Vista Home Entertainment has the rights to this show, and they simply refuse to release it on Season boxsets. You did a good job by getting Nickelodeon shows, please try to make a deal with them. I know that it would sell.

This DVD is watched over and over by my 6 year old son. It is out of order - even within the DVD and the episode where Harry turns into the Green Goblin is under Bonus Materials. But it is still a great collection of episodes.

This is a good storytelling of the origins of The Green Goblin. I Loved This Movie. it was very good

I'm proud to say that this DVD edition is cool. It has some of the best episodes from the series...all in order from their original air dates. Although there are only 2 episodes with the Green Goblin and that they forgot the other episode where Harry Osborne becomes the Green Goblin, the DVD is still worth the purchase. I would have preferred that they released the DVD's by season like "Friends" & "Buffy..." but if your like any major Spider-Man fan...it's worth spending the cash!

I purchased this for my grandson. He enjoyed it. The quality is very good, and the delivery from this vendor was quick. I would purchase again.

This dvd was amazing. But why don't they put the whole series on dvds insead of just episodes with the green goblin or character that they have made a movie of. Like theres a new daredevil film so they made the deredevil vs spiderman dvd

this item is great and an unbeleaveable series with a lot of episodes. i borrowed my friend vhs copy of this and loved it. yet theres something wrong. the cover says the movie is 79 minutes. but when i watched the whole thing including the bonus episodes which were only about 10 minutes each the whole tape was around 150 to 155 minutes! which is even better!

I read all of the spederman reviews and everyone said that just becasue this is spiderman it doesn't mean tht it is for children. So I went to buy the one that had a G rating. This is is way to violent for young children. I had to turn it off, so please do not be fooled by the "G" rating.
