great visuals, good characters but not a great story.

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2018)

The origin of miles morales is really well done in my opinion, peter b parker is an interesting character too, Gwen Stacy is also good but the other 3 spider people didn't have any purpose other than comedic relief in the story, which is fine, as long as the overarching story is good. it wasn't. Basically the kingpin wants to bring back his dead family by collecting them from a dimension in which they haven't died. maybe this would been a relatable motivation if this wasn't shown in a flash back, which just seems cheap to me.
For me it just fell apart in the third act in which the so far great origin story, just devolves into a, quickly press the button to save the world moment. The message the movie gives that any one can be spider-man, you don't need a costume or superpowers to be a hero is great though. Shame about the boring ending and villain.
