Superb - For Adults & Kids alike
I bought this series as soon as it came out, I had never watched it on MTV but had downloaded the trailer for the series and knew I would like it, and I did! I like how it kicks off straight after the first movie and can get right into the action without having to go through once again how he became Spiderman. The blend of 2D and 3D makes for superb eye candy, as does the very lifelike motions of the characters. When Spiderman is in action we see some really cool moves, and you can tell the animators really had fun using this electronic medium to do things that we would never see in the movie. The humour is also there, and not just on a children?s level, far from it. One example is when Spiderman says 'er...that never happens'after suffering an embarrassing premature web shooting incident :)
Another point I would like to make is the fact that Michael Clarke Duncan does the voice of kingpin and he also plays him in the Daredevil movie. I just thought that was really cool, and maybe would link to Daredevil and Spiderman meeting in this new animated series as they have done previously when the Spiderman stories have been told on countless other media formats.
I don't think this is trying to be a link between the two movies directly though, however where this series ends seems to be on a similar note that we see in the new movie, so maybe there was more liaising with the film people that I thought. However some of the characters in this series (namely the lizard guy) I can't help but think would be ideal for future Spiderman movies, so maybe they have taken certain liberties. I could be wrong though.
All in all a great series, superbly animated and very entertaining. I highly recommend this series to any Spiderman/Comic book fans who can enjoy a good cartoon! I can't wait for the (hopefully in the making) second series. Set after Spiderman 2 perhaps? That would make sense. -
