  Review by Joe ★★★ 6

  "Parker, what are you doing in my office? I told you I don't want any of these dull pictures."

  "Yes sir, but I thought I could interest you in some pictures of Spider-Man."

  "Spider-Man? Who is that? He sounds like a nut!"

  "Well, sir, he's like a spider. He crawls up and down walls, and he has the proportionate strength of a spider."

  "The strength of a spider? Spiders aren't strong, they're small, I can crush them with my foot. I thought you said this guy was strong."

  "No sir, he has the PROPORTIONATE strength of a spider. Spiders are actually quite strong compared to their small size."

  "How many legs has he got?"

  "Sir?"

  "I said how many legs…

  Hey Kevin Feige, don't you think it's about damn time you give Spider-Man ’77 his rightful place in the Spider-Verse? You coward.

  Review by Matt Singer ★★ 1

  My ability to love anything involving Spider-Man hasn’t been this sorely tested since The Amazing Spider-Man 2. 

  I do like some of the 70sisms, including the funky superimposed images of Peter and the spider. Most of the hanging and crawling is laughable, but there are a few neat effects; the POV shots from Spidey’s perspective climbing up a real building are kind of great, actually. Alas, I’m not sure any city has less convincing doubled for New York than Los Angeles does here.

  Review by Blaze the Action Junkie ★★ 11

  A Made-for-TV super-hero flick from the 70's made around the same time as Ferrigno's version of Hulk first aired. This one was actually a pilot for the series of the same name which still saw a theatrical release in some areas I read. There's a slew of problems with this one leading to its poor reviews. The plot to this one could have been used without a super-hero at all. It felt like they took a Spider-Man origin story and shoved it into a sci-fi crime flick where a crime-boss uses hypnosis to make others steal for him. I think Spidey did maybe two things in the entire film that were unique to his skill set that led to the…

  Review by Al "Wife-Enjoyer" Hall ★★★★★ 1

  When I was in sixth grade I discovered a lot of things about myself, and the rules of the world. I found my dad's stash of 1980's-1990's pornography, which I took pictures of, printed, and sold for a dollar each page, making a name for myself as a sleazy dirtbag and getting enough cash to buy Oblivion. I was offered weed by a friend Kyle's brother who would go on to be rendered braindead while breaking into a lumberyard and falling like thirty feet off a stack of pallettes he climbed super drunk as a joke. But most importantly, I found my true passion.

  Review by FakeVoorhees ★★½

  Spider-Man faces his most dangerous threat yet - mass suicide. Interesting choice of subject matter for a made-for-TV superhero movie to tackle. When mind-controlling villain The Extortionist threatens to force random citizens to commit suicide if he is not paid a large ransom, Spider-Man must swing into action. Super dated and cheap with some hysterical wall climbing effects and some strange choices such as the main threat and random samurais and ninjas for Spidey to fight. Plus, Seinfeld's Uncle Leo as one of the only non-ninja henchman, and Spidey fighting his own suicidal tendencies when Peter Parker is marked as one of the potential victims. Nicholas Hammond, great in his small role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, is pretty stiff as Peter Parker. This was not very good but I can't be too hard on it since I immediately started the sequel when it ended.

  I’m pretty sure the Daily Bugle set was the same as the Daily Planet set in the Christopher Reeve Superman movie. Anyway, this is EXACTLY what a Spider-Man TV pilot from the 70s sounds like it would be.

  Review by mook ★★

  This feature length film acted as a so called 'backdoor pilot' setting up 'The Amazing Spider-Man' TV series that ran for 13 episodes up to 1979.

  There's three plot threads spread over the 90 minutes. Firstly college student Peter Parker is trying to study and sell his pictures to the Daily Bugle, then there's the Spider-Man origin story (bite, suit made overnight, web shooters made one afternoon when he's at a loose end), and all the while a mysterious villain is holding the city to ransom using some form of mind control...

  This is watchable due to the novelty factor, the fun effects, the funky soundtrack and the charming fight scenes (against three kendo trained bodyguards!) but it never feels…

  Review by Daniel Shillito ★★ 2

  Laughable in terms of its production, on a made for TV budget, but on the whole applauded for being the first Spider-Man film. Gotta give credit to Nicholas Hammond's portrayal of the titular hero though.

  By far the funniest superhero film I've seen so far.
