Scientist turned supervillain Dr. Octopus is one of Spider-Man's longest-running foes, and the pair face off in four action-packed animated episodes on this DVD. All four episodes are taken from Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1994-98), though Doc Ock is only front-and-center for the first episode (culled from the debut season), which does a fine job of re-imagining his origins. The episode also features Felicia Hardy, a.k.a. the Black Cat; she figures prominently in the other three episodes, while Ock takes a supporting role before disappearing altogether in the final one. His absence is disconcerting, given the prominence of his name in the DVD title, and the three episodes, pulled from season 4's lengthy story arc, seem disjointed when viewed outside of the full storyline. But the action is plentiful, the stories are mostly true to the Spidey universe, and true believers will appreciate the parade of Marvel characters on display, including the Kingpin, the Lizard, the Vulture, and even a cameo from Captain America. Supplemental features include two episodes from the 1967-70 animated Spider-Man series, one featuring Doc Ock; Spidey co-creator Stan Lee introduces each episode and sounds off on a variety of related subjects in the interview featurette "Stan Lee's Soapbox"; and there's a wealth of previews for future Marvel/Buena Vista DVD titles, including The Venom Saga. --Paul Gaita

3.0 out of 5 stars Milking consumers, December 1, 2004

By	Mr. Bill - See all my reviews

Ok, I will admit that the Spider-man Animated Series was one of the best modern kids' cartoon shows. I was certainly a fan. However, the way they are releasing the DVDs is really crappy. Spider-Man's seasons averaged about 13 episodes. Normally, a thirteen-episode season on DVD would be about 20 bucks. Instead we are getting four episodes for our twenty bucks. Also, the best part of Spider-Man was the ongoing storylines. Here the episodes are taken out of the full context. In short, you can buy this if you really like the Spider-Man show. But otherwise keep your money, because you're kinda being ripped off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great dvd for the little guys!, September 30, 2006

By	carolyn "shopperextrodinaire" (Canal Winchester, OH) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

If you have a little "spidey" in your house, don't overlook this dvd! We checked this out of the library on a VHS tape (I don't advise it either!) and well, it's been true love ever since for my little guy! I had to get the dvd since we kept having to renew the tape from the library. This is a super long show, however, so keep that in mind before purchasing a VHS version. It about killed our VHS player! All that said, the animation is quite good, and it's just great fun seeing all of Spidey's adventures. This is just a very nice cartoon for the kids and well done. Highly recommend!

By	Daniel Bishop "dnljack" (Carbondale, Illinois) - See all my reviews

They've released the episodes featuring Doc Ock, Scorpion, King Pin, Vulture, and Black Cat. It is so cool. It also includes a preview of Spider-Man: The Venom Saga.
