While this has a decent story, it went wrong in every other possible way.The terrible acting,special effects,directing and editing don't help.I was never an expert on Spider-Man, I don't much care for whiny super heroes, but I think I know his origin story by now.Of course Marvel has to dumb it down for the masses.In this show Peter Parker gets bitten by a spider(I'm not sure it actually even touched him) and immediately forgets about it.On his way home he climbs a wall for no reason then immediately realizes it's because of the spider bite.His Spidey-sense is nothing like it was before or since.It makes him see things and they usually don't make much sense.Anyway, he goes home and makes his costume in an hour and it just gets worse.Apparently putting on the costume makes him crouch down and move extremely weird.I would have made some tweaks.When he climbs buildings he keeps stopping and looking around,sometimes he even looks back through his legs.It's so lame that you will be ashamed to even be watching.He doesn't shoot webs either.He invents a device to shoot ropes and only uses it on one flagpole, probably because they couldn't afford a second scene.The plot isn't half bad, it's almost the same as the Captain America movie that would come out soon after.Definitely not a coincidence.It's supposed to take place in New York City but the first hour looks like LA on a Sunday morning.Warm,sunny,no traffic and no pedestrians.The only real story problem is that Parker knows the bad guy is controlling people with radio signals but doesn't think to jam the signal until after he is controlled for a short time.Then he just rips the antennae down and it reverses the signal so the bad guy is affected by it.WHAT?They spend so much time making you think it's a good show then they just kick you in the face, Marvel style.The best thing about this show is that Uncle Leo from Seinfeld is in it.I have never seen him in anything else.This show is only for hardcore Spider-Man fans.No one else could ever like it.
