I don’t own the image. It’s a general promo one meant to get suckers to the movies.

Summary:

An interesting origin story. A man is hell-bent on messing with realities so he can save his family. Miles Morales doesn’t quite fit in the prep school world he’s in. Then, he gets bit by a radioactive spider and becomes Spider-Man.

Additional Comments:

  • Cool idea. Impractical and improbable but there’s a good story inside anyway.
  • I am not particularly a Spider-Man fan, but I have seen many of the movies.
  • This movie very much embraces being a comic book franchise.
  • Stan Lee’s cameo was especially meaningful now that he’s gone.
  • I probably would have enjoyed it more if many parts didn’t give me a headache. The whole end fight looks like a bad dream.
  • Miles is a cool underdog kind of a character. The kid is just finding his way in the world, mostly poorly until he gains superpowers. Gwen Stacey, Peni and her robopal, cartoon spider-pig, Spiderman-noir, and several Peter Parkers make for an interesting team of misfit spider people.
  • End credit scene was NOT worth it, not by a long shot.
  • Seeing the different realities and permutations of the same story was kind of a nice touch.

Conclusion:

Whether you are a casual Spider-Man fan or a diehard, you can find something tolove in here. Don’t know if it’s worth going to see in costume, as the peoplenext to me did, but it’s a fun movie overall.
