I thought this was a bad idea. And I was wrong.

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2018)

When I heard the set-up for this movie, I thought, "No way. We have already had entirely too many Spider-man movies, and the concept's kinda weird, and they are trying to fit WAY too many characters and plots into this one story." I could not have been more wrong. The degree of difficulty here was super-high, but Marvel still stuck the landing. They introduced a new Spider-man while paying homage to other Spider-man stories and creating something that felt entirely original...and they did it without rehashing the origin story all over again. There were moments where there was a little too much happening, but the choices almost entirely paid off and almost all the characters were given their due. Plus, the animation was just plain gorgeous and the soundtrack was great. Overall, it was a great movie experience. I might have liked a simpler story a little more, but mostly I just want more of the Miles Morales Spider-man in my life.
