The absolute highlight of the movie is a moment that combines both of those things. Some of the stunts don't even cause laughter, another step up. Our hero's wall-crawling is almost passable. The most easily noticeable thing is the special fx. In other words, things are better but still not good.

No matter what's written from this point forward, please understand that almost all of it is a clear improvement over its predecessor, the series pilot. Spider-Man trying to clear his name, keep his identity a secret, and prevent New York City from being blown to smithereens ensues. White, a business mogul/knock-off Bond villain catches wind of all this and comes to New York to get his grubby paws on the plutonium, and of course, build a bomb. When all of this doesn't get as much media attention as they hoped, they decide to do the next "logical" thing and try to build a bomb themselves. In the midst of their heist, Spider-Man shows up too late to stop them, is seen and gets blamed for the theft. That's a college kid thing to do so I get it.
Several of Peter's classmates are so pissed they feel they have to make a point. This exchange is important for reasons I'll get into later. Good ol' Peter refutes this by telling him that any bozo with a library card can figure it out. He tells them that even if someone stole it, it would be incredibly difficult to build working bomb. Second, they're really scared it will explode on purpose because terrorists might steal it and build an atomic bomb. First, they're worried about it exploding by accident because it might be pretty volatile. When he announces this in class, they understandably lose their shit, Peter included. The professor of one of Peter Parker's classes at New York State University has decided it was a good idea to bring in a bunch of plutonium so he can make his very own reactor.
That paper sends Lois Lane Gail Hoffman (Cameron) to score an interview with the web-slinger. The point of this entire scene is that our hero makes the six o'clock news which gets the attention of a newspaper in Florida. The reality is he puts his body against hers and struggles mightily to walk her to the nearest window. Well, "snatches" and "swings" are two entirely overpowered verbs for what Spidey actually does. Anyhoo, Spider-Man scales the wall, snatches her off the ledge and swings her to safety. The first thing we hear this clown say to her is "If you jump, you'll never see your boyfriend again." As the words were leaving his mouth, I was thinking, "Hey dumbass, don't you know you're in a cheesy network show from the 70s? That means her boyfriend is the whole reason she's up there! Sure enough, she tells him exactly that. The cop that's trying to talk her down looks like he's been on the force for quite some time, but he's clearly new to this part of the job.
As soon as it starts, we see a woman standing on a ledge high above the city streets and threatening to jump. When I say the film swings into action, I really mean it. After a deep breath and a roll of the eyes, I clicked it, and this film swings into action. So what do I know? Not much other than that I was somehow simultaneously anticipating and dreading the clicking of the play button. Then again, it's Wikipedia page reveals that was released theatrically overseas.

It's actually a two-part episode of the TV series. See, this isn't a movie in the truest sense of the word. In fairness to me, I may never heard that title. Though I'm sure I watched it as a young'n, I'd completely forgotten about the existence of Spider-Man Strikes Back. Something else was also there: this kinda-sorta sequel to that curiosity. Thank goodness for YouTube because there it was after a quick search. Before revisiting 1977's made-for-TV movie The Amazing Spider-Man, I had planned to do so for months.
