So close to untouchable

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2019)

I'd like to start this review off by saying that this film probably has some of the best computer animation in film history. It perfectly captures the feel of reading a comic book. The movie also is quite funny throughout, with some jokes that still make me laugh after watching at least 10 times. However, this movie is not perfect.
The licensed music used in this film would either make or break a scene. An example of it making a scene great would be the use of Post Malone and Swae Lee's Sunflower in Miles' introduction. It helps us understand that Miles is just a normal teenager living in the modern age. But there is also the scene where the news reports on Peter Parker's death. The music choice here is extremely obnoxious considering the serious nature of the scene.
Also, while I praised the comedy in this movie, I personally found all of Bill Hader's character's one-liners to be annoying.
The only other issue I had came near the end of the movie when Miles finally gains control over his powers. While Miles prepares to take his "leap of faith" off of the side of a building, there are quotes playing in the background to reflect what is going through Miles' head. The problem being that there are quotes being played that we just heard less than five minutes prior. I'm sure I don't need to explain why that's incredibly dumb.
While I have spoken at length about my problems with this film, it is still an incredibly enjoyable experience. I'd still recommend this movie to almost anyone, although I feel it's a tad bit overrated.
