A truly fantastic movie with only one major flaw

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2019)

This is the first film that made me love a movie adaption of Spider-Man.
It's a fantastic film and for the foreseeable future it will be the movie I suggest to anyone who hasn't seen it.
That being said, it has one major flaw, and still somehow pushes through that flaw in such a way you almost forget it.
Here's the issue...
By the movies own logic, half of the Spider-Men/Women should be villains or on the spectrum. The worst case scenario for a Spider-Man character in this movie is that he ends up an overweight looser. Generally, a story about random people getting super powers is about as interesting as a TLC episode about lottery winners. It's cool to think about you winning it, but it's boring to see other people win it. So how is this story so different that it is great...
Be honest with yourself, every live action depiction of Spider-Man has been a 'Mary Sue'.
The story goes: he's a young upstanding boy that happens upon incredible power by chance, and since he's so great he does the right thing with his new found powers. While this movie still suffers from that issue, the story and character development completely overshadow that problem. While Miles still becomes Spider-Man by no doing of his own, it was the doing of his evil/supportive uncle that led him to the place that he became Spider-Man. While Spider-Man's uncle is a villains and while you expect him to turn around in the end, the way it happens is still tragic and an example of fantastic visual storytelling.
