Not at all Hyperbolic: The Best Spider-Man Movie

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2019)

There have been a lot of Spider-man movies.
Just within the past fifteen years we've had three separate Spider-men in three different franchises. Everyone knows his origin story- (bit by radioactive spider, uncle Ben, with great power, date Mary Jane or Gwen Stacy, bla bla bla). Everyone knows his enemies (Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Venom, Vulture, or the malicious Blue Man Group member that Jamie Foxx played in "Amazing Spiderman 2"...). As much as I like Spider-man (I'd say he's probably my favorite superhero) I do think that Spider-man's presence in pop culture has become a bit ubiquitous (all superheroes have, but Spidey seems to get the reboot treatment more than most). Before I went to go see this movie, I found myself asking the question: do we really need another version spider-man?
Apparently we did. We really did.
I never expected to be so excited about this, but I was. Honestly, I loved it so much that I'd recommend this movie to everyone. While this movie follows the tried and true superhero formula it does it in a way that is so tongue in cheek that it still feels incredibly refreshing. Aside from that, this movie is groundbreaking in terms of animation- it's worth seeing for that alone. It's a brilliant superhero film; heck, it's just a brilliant movie. This film dethrones "Incredibles 2" as my pick for Best Animated film of 2018.
