Description: It's double the action, double the thrills and double the Goblins as Spider-Man is unmasked and tangled in a web of treachery in Spider-Man: The Return Of The Green Goblin. The Webslinger faces the ultimate challenge when his arch-nemesis discovers his identity and kidnaps his one true love, Mary Jane Watson. The stakes have never been higher as the dreaded Green Goblin tries to take control of the city and bring Spider-Man to his knees. The action gets even hotter when Kingpin and the Hobgoblin join forces in an all-out war with America's greatest crime fighter. It's a world of high-flying excitement you won't want to miss.
Amazon.com: Spider-Man fanatics that can't wait another two years for the sequel to the 2002 theatrical blockbuster are encouraged to check out Buena Vista Home Video's second DVD of the web-slinger's animated adventures, which provides enough action and cliffhanger suspense to satiate all but the most rabid of Spidey's supporters. The feature is actually a five-episode story arc culled from the 1994-'98 animated television series. True to Marvel Comics fashion, a multitude of plot threads and familiar characters (including the Punisher) are woven throughout the main story line, which finds Spider-Man struggling not only to defeat the Green Goblin, the Hobgoblin, and the Kingpin, but also to clear the Daily Bugle's Robbie Robertson of criminal charges and rescue girlfriend Mary Jane Watson! It's a fast and furious 80 minutes, abetted by strong vocal performances and better-than-usual animation, though the occasional mix of computer and cel art clashes noticeably. --Paul Gaita
The Green Goblin's Return This is a good storytelling of the origins of The Green Goblin. I Loved This Movie. it was very good
Not A "G" Film I read all of the spederman reviews and everyone said that just becasue this is spiderman it doesn't mean tht it is for children. So I went to buy the one that had a G rating. This is is way to violent for young children. I had to turn it off, so please do not be fooled by the "G" rating.
animated spider-man Marvel made many inroads with comics. They added a depth of character development that was always handled with great care. That care is plainly visible with their animation and very much so with Spider-man. I was amazed as I viewed this to discover how very close the motion picture followed the script of the animated Goblin story. I believe anyone who enjoyed the motion picture or the comic would also like the animated show.
Great series... so why are there no season box sets yet? Spider-Man (1994-1998.)
INTRODUCTION: In recent years, I have become a fairly big fan of the Spider-Man franchise. This is due in no small part to the success of the recent live-action films and the animated series that still get heavy rotation on some channels. One of the best Spider-Man animated series was the one that aired in the middle of the nineties Saturday mornings on FOX kids. Now, several years later after this series has been cancelled, DVDs of it have been released (no doubt to cash in on the whole movie thing reviving the series.) Read on for my reviews.
OVERVIEW: The nineties take on an animated Spider-Man series aired from 1994-1998. This was the first animated series to focus not only on action, but rather on the same sort of three-dimensional characterization and plotlines as the comics. Unlike most Spider-Man series which are set in the present, this one is set in the not-so-distant future - identifiable by the level of technology and the fact that everyone uses laser guns rather than standard guns. The series featured over fifty episodes, most of which were mini-series components. The series aired successfully for roughly three to four years, and has since been put back into syndication on Toon Disney and ABC Family, as a part of the Jetix lineup of shows.
REVIEW: Overall, this is probably my favorite animated Spider-Man series. It's the one I grew up watching, and it's got the best storylines and characterization, as well as ongoing storylines that only add to the overall appeal. There are some inaccuracies to the original comic stories, but to be honest, doesn't EVERY animated Spider-Man series have that same problem (for instance, in the comics, the Green Goblin came BEFORE the Hobgoblin, but in this series it's vice versa.) I was also a bit frustated by everyone using laser guns (obviously done so parents wouldn't complain.) And since when is the Kingpin a technical genius? Oh, well. Despite these little flaws here and there, this series has a LOT of redeeming value. Of all the animated takes on Spidey, the nineties series is my favorite.
DVD: Sadly, the individual DVDs of this series are a bit weak, not to mention overpriced. They lack any real extras. Accordingly, what I recommend you do is hold off and see if they ever release box sets that have the complete seasons in them. Many TV shows are getting these kinds of releases, so hopefully one for this series is in the near future.
OVERALL: To put it simply, good series, bad DVD release. When the hell are we gonna get this series in season box sets!? Whoever owns the rights to this series would be smart to release them soon, since the franchise's popularity is at an all-time high due to the success of the movies. Steer clear of these DVD releases unless you find them in the budget bin. Hold off until box sets come out.
Not very good episodes,but great dvd quality! The episodes aren`t too good,but the dvd quality is great!The dvd has special features like a trivia game where you try and save Mary Jane,Stan Lee`s Soapbox,a classic episode from the Spider Man 60`s show,and more!I also was surprised and glad that it has scene selection,set up,and more!A Spider Man fan would probably love this,so definately reccomended for fans of Spidey!
