Critics Reviews

Brian Lowry Variety An extremely busy, action-filled opening half-hour introduces a horde of Spidey villains along with his universe of supporting players while perhaps wisely skipping the obligatory rehash of the character's by-now-familiar origins. Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Eric Goldman IGN Movies Spider-Man finally has a TV series that's worthy of him. Rated: 9/10 Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Will Wade Common Sense Media Even during fight scenes, Spidey keeps up such a running patter of quips and one-liners that the cartoon seems more like a comedy than a drama. Rated: 4/5 Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Matthew Wells What Culture Looking past the simplistic design of the show, Spectacular Spider-Man proved in its short two seasons that it was the best Spider-Man cartoon ever made, if not one of the greatest comic book cartoons of all time. Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Ewan Paterson What Culture Spectacular was the perfect wee Spidey package, and marked a resurgent period in animation for the web-slinger. Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Spencer Coriaty Screen Rant While Spectacular doesn't offer a radical leap in terms of storytelling, it does offer stunning visuals with beautiful animation.
