Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Sold Seperate
Review: This was the Spider-Man cartoon that came on MTV, not the hit one that was from Fox Kids.Its kind of a waste of money. You can these episodes along with the 13 episodes that were released earlier. But if you only liked some of the episodes, then you might like to have this one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Fans should pick up the special edition instead
Review: Three episodes from the recently cancelled "Spider-Man" series aired on MTV during the summer of 2003 are presented here by Columbia/Tri-Star Home Video.

All thirteen episodes have already been made availible on the recent special edition set that included a host of extras for fans of the show. This particular reviewer found the animated series to be something of a disappointment due to the forced attempts to "hip up" the character of Peter Parker and a number of absolutely terrible villains. The animation is also a mixed bag as well -- many of the computer generated sequences of Spider-Man web-swinging over New York City are terrific, while scenes with the character (and his college friends) out of costume are far less convincing.

This particular DVD release features the introduction of a revamped Electro (voiced by Ethan Embry) in the first episode aired on MTV entitled, "The Party." Spider-Man faces Electro again in another weaker entry, "When Sparks Fly," before tangling with a perfectly dreadful adversary, Talon (with a horrible voice by pop star, Eve) in "Keeping Secrets."

Fans of the series should skip this bare bones release and buy the special edition instead.
