4.0 out of 5 stars Trip down memory lane, 1 Jan 2009

By	KN (Lancs. UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This box-set contains all the episodes from the 1980s cartoon "Spiderman and His Amazing Friends". Like many others approaching middle-age, it was my Saturday morning favourite as a child. Watching it again really took me back to those times. I also couldn't get that catchy theme tune out of my head!

There are 24 episodes from all 3 seasons on 4 discs. Spiderman is aided by fellow super-heroes Ice-Man and Fire-Star. Most of the well-known villains (Green Goblin, Kingpin, Sandman, Mysterio, etc) feature throughout the series, and we even meet other good guys like Captain America, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the X-Men.

The animation looks a bit dated now especially when compared with the 1990s "Spiderman The Animated Series", which is yet to be fully released on DVD. However, Spiderman and His Amazing Friends was very enjoyable, least of all because things weren't made unnecessarily complicated as was done in the 1990s series with bizarre storylines involving Carnage, Madam Web and multiple Spidermen from different dimensions!

This series represents what Spiderman cartoons should be - simple to watch and fun. I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Nostalgia, 13 Jan 2009

By	C. Griffiths (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

During the very short-lived reign of BSB Satellite TV in the UK Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends was one of the imported American kids shows that a 7-year-old me fell in love with. As such I bought this DVD set entirely to satisfy my own sense of nostalgia.

To make it clear this isn't the '60s Spider-Man with the famous theme tune, this was made is the '80s and although the instrumental theme tune definitely has its charm it isn't the one you can sing along to. The 'Amazing Friends' of the title are Iceman/Bobby Drake of the X-Men and Firestar (they couldn't use the Human Torch for legal reasons y'see).

Re-watching the show for the first time in 18 years I've been impressed with how many other Marvel characters make appearances. Unsurprisingly a lot of classic Spider-Man villains pop up but also thrown into the mix are Doctor Doom, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Magneto, Daredevil, Thor, The Hulk, Iron Man and most of the X-Men (including a curiously Australian-accented Wolverine) as well as a decent array of more obscure Marvel characters and a couple of original creations like 'Videoman' with his video-game themed powers.

Spidey and co. also get the opportunity to fight mythical Greek monsters, Dinosaurs, Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster as the series progresses which is always a plus.

The show has several moments of wonderful old-school comic-book silliness that you just don't get to see as much of these days, such as Kraven the Hunter's use of a 'heat-seeking boomerang with ice-spray' to capture Firestar in order to use her heat powers to hatch dinosaur eggs and grow uncontrollable dinosaurs which he will somehow transport to New York City to hold the city to ransom. An ingenious plan by anyone's standards.

I'm hugely happy with this set, the shows are even more entertaining than I thought they'd be and to be honest a lot of the animation and action scenes have aged remarkably well.

I can happily recommend this to anyone, particularly at Amazon's price.
