A triumph of animation to challenge your parents view of cartoons

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2019)

This film is simply...a triumph...The animation is so unique and...whilst at the start it was somewhat jarring for me personally, it is so perfect for the story. I was sad not to see more of Chris Pine's Spiderman as his was a hilarious take, however I understand why it was necessary to shift away from "Prime Spiderman" to create the (coming of age/redemption arc). I do not understand the need for Spider Ham...comedic relief was not necessary, regardless of canon.
The story was...familiar, obviously...it was a spiderman origin...one that we had seen countless times...however it still remained fresh. The chemistry between the leads was obvious and resulted in a very funny take on what we knew. The film subverted expectations all while confirming what we expected. Masterfully controlling its tempo whilst also melding humour with emotion...a must watch for anyone who has touched a comic
