This is what I call art

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2019)

It's beautifully written, directed, acted, and animated. The music is amazing and really sets the tone of the film. It really takes what you love about comic books and makes it a movie. The details and design decisions are so amazingly good. The movie is self aware and plays with the well known tropes of superhero movies, it makes this movie a fresh breath in this genre that has seen a drought in original and groundbreaking content. But this movie proves that its not for lack of material. It's quite the opposite. Here we see tasteful and honest diversity in characters with personalities. They're not just hollow stereotypes who save the day and win the girl. This has actual stakes and growth. And when we see Miles at the end listening to the same song as the movie started with, we can really feel the journey he's been on. The focus was on Miles and his journey. We don't get distracted with characters who would have made the story very busy if they had more screen time. In summary; this movie is a well written family friendly, beautiful story about the different struggles in life. It's relateble and also way out there. The visuals are amazing and it's an overall wonderful experience from start to finish.
