Spider-Man: Secret Wars

An awful cartoon version of the successful 80's comicbook crossover. Eliminating most of the characters and the storyline, this cheap and nasty film was made by throwing together episodes from the mediocre 90's Spidey cartoon. If you really want quality animated superheroics, check out the 90's Batman cartoons.

This was an interesting version of the Marvel limited series Secret Wars, which had the strongest Marvel heroes versus the strongest Marvel villains. In this, Spider-Man is chosen by the Madame Web and the Beyonder to lead the combined forces of the Fantastic Four, Captain America, Iron Man, the Lizard, the Black Cat and Storm against the forces Red Skull, Dr. Doom, Dr. Octopus and Symthe. Lots of action, story and some of the best of Marvel in one amazing, spectacular and sensational adventure.

The 90s Spiderman cartoons were awesome. Many of the stories could have been used to the current movies. The versions of Peter Parker, Mary Jane, Felicia, Doc Oc, Harry, Norman Osborne and on and on are far superior to the movies.

I really like the humor Spiderman shows and the inner turmoils depicted through Peter Parker's thoughts. These particular episodes were the epitome of what this series was all about. Great storytelling, wonderful dialog, awesome characters and superb character development. The cartoons have deeply been missed.

Anyone wanting to be entertained and gain true insight into Spiderman and what he is really about should try and watch as many of the Spiderman animated series shows as possible. I hope and pray they bring out the entire series on DVD some day. I still can't understand why!
