VHS Movie Reviews of The Amazing Spider-Man: The Origin of Spider-Man & The Kilowatt Kaper [VHS]

Movie Review: Classic Spidey
Summary: 5 Stars

From 1967 an animator named Ralph Baski did the first few entries in this series. More than any other cartoon at the time; with the exception of Hanna Barbera's Fantastic Four cartoon, these cartoons followed the comics more than not. I love the scenes where Spidey swings through New York City. It is primative by today's standards but brings back lots of memories for me because I loved those cartoons. I can only wish that Marvel makes a complete DVD set of this classic. Only thing is I don't believe so because no one is interested. This one was ahead of its time because it tapped into the superhero in all of us.

Summary of The Amazing Spider-Man: The Origin of Spider-Man & The Kilowatt Kaper [VHS]

There was some amazing, classic animation done for superhero cartoons done as far back as Max & Dave Fleisher's Superman series of the early 1940s (echoes of which can be found in Batman: The Animated Series). Those were done for the big screen; by the mid-1960s, superhero cartoons were being brought to television, and some of Marvel Comics' biggest heroes--Captain America, Spider-Man, Thor, and the Incredible Hulk--were the stars. Unfortunately, television didn't have much in terms of cachet--or production values--at the time, and all four heroes suffer for it.

Spider-Man comes across the best of the four, though part of that might be because Spidey's geeky alter ego, Peter Parker, looks and sounds remarkably like Bill Gates. On the two episodes here--"The Kilowatt Kaper," a run in with Electro, and the self-explanatory "The Origin of Spider-Man"--the animation is minimal. It looks as if only a couple dozen pictures of the main characters were drawn; for the most part, this is a series of stationary illustrations with voiceovers and plenty of narration. --Randy Silver
