Talk about a great show you can enjoy with your kids (or on your own if you like Spider-Man). Watching Spider-Man now on Netflix makes me wish I would have payed it more attention when I was a kid. The show picks up after Spidey has been already received his powers, but before he knows he really has any enemies besides his boss J. Jonah Jameson. From what I've watched so far the show slowly but surely introduces many of Spider-Man's foes in great adventures, sometimes spanning more than one 21 minute segment.
The thing I hate about writing about shows is that there really isn't much to say about the plot, and that's especially apparent in this review. Spider-Man spends the show dealing with his villains as well as his own life as a college student who lives with his aunt. It pretty much follows the comic in that sense, or even the feature films.
What I can say about this cartoon, is that it's pure entertainment. The show portrays Spider-Man's sense of humor very well. He spends probably 75 percent or more of the show making jokes about what's going on. Since he jokes on what's going on in the show, it keeps the humor from being too dated as well. A big plus to this is that's it's appropriate for kids; it better be since it's a kids show originally aired on Fox Kidz. This means you have something you may remember from your past to share with your children, or you may be like me and might have not watched the show when it first came on. This is great opportunity to check it out and share it. You won't be disappointed.
Spider-Man is rated TV-Y7-FV, probably because of the animated violence, and some adult situations. I'd say their are probably worse cartoons out there for children to watch though, with more violence. The show has a very lighthearted feel to it, even in more serious situations, and is nowhere near as cold as similar cartoons like X-Men (1992)or Batman: The Animated Series.
I sadly could not find a good trailer for the show. I'll leave you with the intro so you can at least see some scenes from the show. Happy watchings!
