This is now officially my favorite superhero movie

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2019)

...as well as my favorite comic book adaptation. And I'm saying this as a 47-year-old, mind you. Maybe that's precisely why I so thoroughly enjoyed this film (aside from the visually stunning animation style, the soundtrack, and the excellent voice acting). I've never felt more represented in a superhero flick than I did when I listened to the grievances of the middle-aged Peter B. Parker.
But all characters in this movie are extremely likable and easy to connect with, especially the lead character Miles Morales (aka Spider-Man), whom I already liked in Bendis's Ultimate Universe comics. When I watched the trailer, I was afraid that the inclusion of Spider-Ham might be a little over the top and too slapsticky for an overall serious coming-of-age story, but everything just works beautifully. Anyway, to cut a long review short: If you'd like to see a comic book come alive on the big screen in the best way imaginable, go watch this movie! You won't regret it.
