Lives up to the hype

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2019)

Upon seeing the trailer for this animated movie right after avengers: Infinity war, I was disappointed because it's obviously not a part of the MCU and the animation looked strange, unsettling and twitchy and oversaturated.
However, after seeing all of the hype the movie generated after release and upon reading high praise, it was time to give it a go.
I was not disappointed, the movie really has great, game changing animation and the story is not a complete by-the-numbers superhero story.
The script is decent with some good comedy all around, appropriate both for children and adults, and sometimes it's even darker than expected.
Some of the plot points, such as the uncle being the villain, were very predictable, as predictable as the character's fast death.
Another problem I had was the color palette, it's trying to hard to be "urban" and has too much purple and other bright add-like colors, which don't really lend themselves well to a Spiderman flick.
All in all, a sequel would be more than welcome, however the problem is I can't see how a sequel could top this movie and raise the stakes further, or which Spiderman villains to use
A strong 8.5
