An absolute masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2019)

This was the best movie of 2018. Period, end of story. It says a lot that you can pause the movie at nearly any frame and have wallpaper art. Start it up almost anywhere and you'll laugh. I could watch this movie every day and keep finding things I didn't notice before for months. The characters are so relatable despite there only being ten minutes of screen time for some of them. Miles is far and away one of my favorite renditions of Spider-Man ever, and I love the little imperfections on each character model that make the characters subtly more human -- like Gwen's adorable gap in her teeth, Miles' weird eyes and Peter's misshapen nose. These are people, realized more perfectly in animation than they could be in real life. It makes me so happy to see animated movies come this far. I could just continue to gush about it for forever, but that would make an incoherent mess, so go watch the CinemaWins or really any review or essay on YouTube. Just let me say that this is probably one of the best animated movies ever made, definitely one of the best Spider-Man movies ever made (I think Sam Raimy's Spider-Man 2 is the only one that could unseat it), one of the best superhero movies ever made, and seriously just one of the best movies I've ever seen. So many feels, so many laughs, so enjoyable each and every time.
