Wow! I can not believe it took me this long to watch this?!?!? My daughter has been raving about this movie for months, telling me how much I will love it and yet I was reluctant to commit....
well, shame on me!
This is Spider-tastic!!!!!!
If you are a Spidey fan from either the movies or comic books or cartoons, this is not only a Must Watch, but a MUST HAVE!
I loved every moment of this movie, it is a pure delight. It is true and faithful to all the classic Spider-man tropes, filled with lots of heart and depth that gave me the FEELS several times throughout the story. The animation is rich, gorgeous, and deftly handled; the dark tragic moments hit home with deep emotional impact while the broad silly humour uplifts you without breaking your suspension of disbelief.
The only nitpick I had was the Spider-man comic book Miles keeps referencing showing Peter Parker's origin, which is confusing since Peter Parker exist's in Mile's universe?
Despite this, I had a thoroughly fun ride and would put this on par with Raimi's Spider-man 2, or at the very least, consider this movie a direct sequel to the Raimi films.
Can't wait to watch the Alternate Universe blu ray bonus feature!
