    Plot: As Spider-Man dies, teenager Miles Morales attempts to become the new Spider-Man and stop a threat with the help of five other counterparts from other realities.

    The first I heard about this film, I didn't think much of it. But the way it was being marketed, the hype slowly brewing and Phil Lord and Christopher Miller as producers of it, I had to see it.



    Lord and Miller have always surprised me with whatever they have done. They've contributed to all the Lego Movies, both Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs films, both Jump Street films and were producers on my film of 2017, Brigsby Bear. So with my initial expectations not being that great, I was already on course to be surprised again.


    Low and behold, they've done it again with something totally new and fresh to the superhero genre. If anyone feels this genre is restricted and tired, then there is plenty to find in this latest project.
    Firstly, the animation is totally original. Whilst looking like the pages of a comic book, there were times where it clashes various other animation styles from various eras and parts of the world and I noticed in some scenes that things that weren't focused were made to like watching something in 3D without the glasses.


    With the technical side oozing with positivity, could the story match it? For me, it eventually does. It develops nicely for the first half with a solid amount of laughs with its clever self-referential humor that always wins me over. But when a dramatic revelation takes place with the emergence of new characters, the heart of the story begins to flourish and what we get is a emotional finish whilst still having a laugh along the way.


    Everyone in the voice acting department did a pretty good with their characters. Not major exceptions, so all I'll say is great job by Shameik Moore, Jake Johnson, Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Harvey, Hailee Steinfeld, John Mulaney, Kimiko Glenn, Kathryn Hahn, Liev Schreiber and Nicolas Cage who has had a pretty good 2018 with voice acting.


    The only negative I would like to mention is a picky one, but there were times where the pacing was too fast in terms of processing the gags. Also, the animation style at times felt nauseous. The way it moves around can mess with your senses which I feel to also be a good thing in relation to the originality of the animation style. Hence, why these negatives are me being picky.


    This was a really fun time, and I think will many agree with and me and call this the best Spider-man film. The choice of story made me remember why I think Spider-man and the world around it. It took me back to the brilliant 90's TV series, especially with the addition of multiple dimensions and the universes. Lord and Miller have once again put everyone on watch and shown what can be done to a much beloved product if you have a laugh with it and aren't afraid to go a bit silly every now and then. When this brilliant duo commit to something, it works beautifully, no matter out of hand it may look. It's such a shame that their work on the most recent Star Wars never got completed with them at the helm.


    I hope everyone checks this out as this is not just for the comic books fans. I feel this to be a pretty accessible watch or at the very least something that needs to be experienced due to the original look to it.
    It's only a matter of time before we get a sequel, and I cannot wait to see another installment. Films with a lot of joy and fun I find to be a rare find these days, and we should champion this one as much as we can.


    Finally, I must mention that there is a post-credits scene and it was very funny. It opens the door to where the sequel could go and what happens in the scene is extremely funny and the icing on the cake to the evolution of the character of Spider-Man.
