Well, uh, at least the backstory is somewhat more accurate than Raimi's Spider-Man, but the, ahem, "special effects" are so damned hilarious I can't imagine anyone considered them good, even at the time, and the acting is pretty spotty. Not sure why Peter Parker needed to wear eye shadow, but hey, I never have understood just WTF was going on in the 70's.

Not bad considering '70s TV budgets and effects were nowhere near what Spider-Man requires; certainly better than the brief series that followed, which gave Spidey clunky webshooters and ordinary TV villains. Nick Hammond made a perfect Peter Parker, better than Toby McGuire, and although Uncle Ben is notably missing, in one respect this is MUCH more faithful to the comics than the later Raimi movies: Peter doesn't ooze webbing from his wrists, but invents the web-shoooters and fluid himself!

I could rip this for its cheesy efx, lame ninja fights, repeatedly using the same building for the wall crawling effect while using the same incongruous jazz score, but all of that is the fault of the limits of 1977 tv targeted towards kids. The truth is, given it's limitations, there's a lot of effort here, esp all the stunt work they put into recreating what couldn't yet be recreated. The script's also surprisingly close to the comic & Hammond's got a Chris Reeve-like nice guy charm.

May be since I have watched the Toby Maguire version of Spiderman I had high expectations out of this. But this is a let down. Worth a one time watch but you won't regret it if you didn't watch it. Emma Stone doing all the cutting edge bio-tech stuff while studying in college and Andrew using a gadget to throw out his web are really irritating!

This was boring, and totally messed up Spider-Man's origin, removing the main motivation for the character.

The story is pretty okay, but why in earth they made Parker act like an idiot. Even without special effects of today it would be possible to make cool looking spider-man fight scenes. It was just a lack of imagination.

Two episodes of the short-lived TV series. This isn't as stolid and predictable as the same era's more popular "Incredible Hulk" show but is often just as unintentionally funny -- the wall-crawling scenes look like a skinny guy in ski pajamas swinging on a clothesline.

A low-budget, silly looking movie. Avoid, unless you want to have some campy fun.
