The wall-crawling, web-slinging and fight scenes are solid. That's not to say that the effects are bad.

I imagine with a Hollywood movie budget, the same people involved here would've made a Spiderman movie franchise equally enjoyable, but with special effects and super-villains to match.
#SPIDER MAN STRIKES BACK SERIES#
As far as I'm concerned, the creators of this series made the very best they could with their small budget. I understand that this particular film was shot entirely in LA, which I wish I never read, because I always felt that the New York scenes FELT like New York. Robert Simon was solid as J.Jonah Jameson, especially when threw a tantrum. JoAnna Cameron made an excellent companion for Peter Parker. Spider-Man swings to the rescue when a nuclear bomb created by three college students falls into criminal hands. I'd place his casting up there with Christopher Reeve as Superman and Linda Carter as Wonder Woman. Spider-Man Strikes Back: Directed by Ron Satlof. He was very convincing in the role, and fun to watch. Even today, I think Nicholas Hammond was a great choice to play Peter Parker/Spiderman. The acting was solid all the way around even if the 70s clothing styles may make you laugh. I really liked the musical score in the film. Despite its low-budget and lack of supervillains, I think the film still felt like an "epic" adventure. If you know that, than I think your chances of enjoying this are better. The villains are regular villains in the form of a millionaire and his henchmen.

Someone unfamiliar with the series may not like it, but then again, you might if you know what to expect. I look back on it with a lot of fondness and nostalgia.
