    It was an ok films with great effects. Short on story. It went on about 20 mins too long.
    I hate Tobey. I hated him when I knew him, and I hate that that closet ... Gets to do what he does.

    For me, the 1970s Spider-Man live action movies were great fun. I looked back on it with a lot of fondness and nostalgia. Someone unfamiliar with the series may not like it, but then again, you might if you know what to expect.

    I think Nicholas Hammond was a great choice to play Peter Parker / Spider-Man and the rest of the cast is good. The wall-crawling, web-slinging and fight scenes are solid.

    Wow. I think some of the reviewers are mixing this up with Spider-Man 3 (don't ask me how...).

    Hey Jase(Ice-T)!.... Nice to see a fellow Aussie!! Yeah, I used to love the movie too mate, when I was a kid!! I actually went to see both at the cinema when they came out when I was a kid!! A mate of mine has both on video; the first one "The Amazing Spiderman" on Beta, and this movie "Spiderman Strikes Back" on VHS!! He had obtained them years ago, while he's been building up quite an extensive video collection!! The guy has over 1500 video-tapes(pre-recorded from the video production houses -- of course!!), and some 500 DVD's(which some have been dubbed from tapes that he had bought, which he had bought off sellers that u can't get on DVD!!! Let me know if u want a copy of the 2 Spiderman videos, as u can't get them on DVD or video!! I'm in Sydney!!
