- **Spider-Man (1977) Review - 2.5 Stars** Nicholas Hammond is good as Peter Parker, but at least 10 years too old, which is noticeable. The movie is very comic accurate, yet it's a missed opportunity not featuring a comic villain, opting instead for a lackluster original baddie.

Spider-Man 1977 is a far cry from the modern MCU. Understandably, as it was made 45 years ago. This film felt more like aWilliam Hartnell Doctor Who episode with elements of a police procedural drama. There was much more focus on science and actually saving people’s lives. Indeed, Spidey saves the day using his scientific knowledge. While this may ...
Nicholas Hammond is a good Spider-Man. He showed Peter Parker’s shyness and haplessness, as well as the character’s goodness and desire to help. Hammond also displayed good physical acting when Peter fell under Byron’s mind control. Moreover, Hammond sold Peter’s reaction to his new powers.

Spider-Man 1977’s incidental music put me in mind of ’60s Doctor Who. Especially the dissonant theme used when characters fell under Byron’s mind control. There was some beautiful piano and flute music to accompany Peter’s discovery of his powers. As well as using his Spidey sense. The main Spider-Man theme was pure ’70s and it really put you in th...
Spider-Man 1977’s Effects were very much of the time insomuch that camera tricks were used instead of CGI when Peter/Spidey crawled up the walls. But it was fairly well done given the limitations of TV Budgets back then. The FX of the radioactive spider was brilliantly cheesy. Very good also was the chiaroscuro used when Peter succumbed to Byron’s ...

Indeed, the villain is brought to justice non-violently and there is no angst or subversion of established superhero tropes. Probably...

Nicholas Hammond is a surprisingly good Peter Parker. he captures the gentile and nerdy Peter so well and it deserves some commemoration. He has a sort of Luke Skywalker quality. his mannerisms and voice are similar to Luke in episode 4 and I think it really works. Spider-man on the other hand isn't quite as memorable.
Jan 5, 2020 · But in 1977, writers decided to give the popular Marvel superhero, Spider-Man a whirl for a live-action show, and thus, we got The Amazing Spider-Man.
Jul 7, 2019 · 1977's Spider-Man is seriously dated and definitely doesn't hold up against modern interpretations of the web-slinger. This should come as no surprise, as contemporary projects have multi-million dollar budgets and a wide range of special effects that enhance every moment of Spider-Man's adventures.
