I did a review of this on tv.com and while I know this isn't on anyone's favorite episode list, I was in a talkback mood. My review:

An entertaining episode all things considered. Magneto's costume should have remained as is.

When I saw Spider-Man And His Amazing Friend's episode "The Prison Plot", I was thinking the flashback sequence in that episode was a scene from this episode. But then again, I was half expecting a reference to the X-Men or the term mutant.

Yeah, I know that Magneto is portrayed as the typical supervillain here (definately evil), he's at least an actual threat. Heck, he even pulls a Doctor Doom and avoids capture. And he certainly doesn't whimper like a baby about being fooled with a wooden gun.

It was funny and had a good amount of cameos to keep me entertained.

4/5 - fantastic!

Call me when it comes back on TV and we'll talk.

...as to this episode in particular, Magneto's scary-lookin' when he's silhouetted like that. Did the Evolution guys see this episode?

No downloading talk please.

This is one good episode, it's better than the spider-friends episode, but the spider-friends portrays him as he really more than it does in this show
