The best Spider-Man film in decades

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2019)

I never imagined that Spider-Man 2 could have an equal or even be surpassed. Even more, I didn't expect a better superhero film than Infinity War to appear in 2018. Yet, this animated flick by Sony, of all companies, managed that.
This film is near flawless. It's a fantastic origin story for a new Spider-Man. Its utterly stylish with great character designs, comic book aesthetics, and great use of colors. The score is fantastic. The villains are scary. Did I mention it's a fantastic origin story? Newcomers to characters like Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen have a lot to enjoy with their portrayal here. That said, the older Peter Parker is extremely likable as well and shows that our original Spider-Man will always be relevant.
Every element the film displays has a purpose, whether it be establishing character motivations or setting up for the climax' culmination of plot points. This film is masterfully crafted in writing, storytelling, characterization, visuals, and sound. It truly is passionate about Spider-Man, and sharing the integral message that Spider-Man has to share: Anyone can wear the mask. Anyone can be a hero. Anyone can be Spider-Man.
