Visually Creative But Contrived

Rating: 7/10 (22 September 2019)

I really think this was just an excuse to present a diverse cast of various Spider-People that have existed at one time or another without much effort at making it into a story. Still, it was fairly entertaining for what it was.
The animation was interesting and certainly creative. I generally liked the backgrounds a lot more than the actual characters. All the madness happening when the particle collider was running was neat.
It was humorous, with well written, timed, and delivered jokes.
But it wasn't particularly logical. In scene after scene, I was asking myself "why, and how is this happening?" Characters are constantly stopping in the middle of fights to have nonchalant conversations, and the villains just stand there and watch. In the climactic battle, the villain literally stops punching and just stands and stares at the hero for what could be a minute, waiting for the hero to recover and mount a final counterattack. Characters show up in places it makes no sense for them to be, with no explanation, just so they can emotionally affect some other character who sees them. The sequence of scenes seemed lazily put together, with little thought put into how one thing leads to another. I guess we are supposed to be distracted by the pretty colors.
