A feast for the eyes

Rating: 8/10 (7 February 2020)

To start off with the most obvious: this movie is aesthetically gorgeous. The art style works perfectly and it's a nice change from the "typical" Disney animation we see in most mainstream movies today. Such vibrant colours, the small text descriptions and character models that are purposefully not realistic but in comic book style - it all works perfectly in favour of the movie.
The story however, wasn't as spectacular. Not boring, just predictable. A hero gains his powers, is afraid he isn't capable of handling them, but in a nice montage he realises his responsibilities and then continues to save the day. There were quite a couple of comedy moments, some with great timing which turned out funny. The others didn't quite succeed; moreover, they were forced (the scene from the beginning with Miles' dad asking him in front of the entire school to say "i love you" - a bit over the top, don't you think?). On the other hand, the message this movie sends is really nice, because everyone can be a hero, right?
Overall, an incredible movie to watch, not so much to understand but still an enjoyable experience. Even if you don't like superhero movies (like myself), give it a go, at least for the animation style.
