A really great show, it's fantastic, amazing, dare i say, spectacular. Of all other Spider shows this one is most deepest and concentrated on characters, and every character has a great personality that you enjoy to watch. But, as a 90's Spider-man this show doesn't have ending. This is really sad, and what makes it even worse... Ultimate Spider-man. But a great show anyway, that i like to watch again every year.

A spectacular serie that will be missed Ever since I was little, I've been a fan of Spider-Man and watched all the series. But this is the best Spider-Man adaption ever made. The show is great and manages to deliver what Spider-Man fans has been wanting. The design is something new and special to the Spider-Man series, in this serie we come across a lot of the villains from the series such as Venom, Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Rhino, Lizard, Shocker, Electro, Vulture, Mysterio and many more! It is a big shame that this show has been cancelled, this animated Spider-Man serie is favorable and deserved more seasons. I am not sure if it will ever happen, but I really hope they will go back to this serie and continue to make more episodes because it is finding such a good animated show these days.

This is the greatest Spider-Man cartoon. It perfectly brings the old Lee/Ditko stories to a modern time. The voice acting is superb, and the animation is quite fluid. Check it out!

Its actually best Spider-man adaption. Peter's life and all the other kinds like villains too well explained. Only bad thing it has, there is no 3rd season so that story unfinished.

The Spectacular Spider-Man is a great (and sadly a canceled) show which hides underneath a simplistic art style. But if one looks closer he will find authentic and likeable characters, great choreographed fights and a lot of story arcs with buildup weaved through multiple episodes. All in all this is a great show which I advise everyone to watch.
