I was glad this beat out Incredibles 2 at both the Golden Globes and the Oscars, but then I watched the movie and I'm like HOLY SH*T! This film was mind-blowing and a lot of fun. To the dozen or so people who dragged this film's score down on Rotten Tomatoes, shame on you!
You can go ahead and watch the other movies. I know I have six to knock off my bucket list, but this should be the first on your list if you're a newcomer to the spectacular hero. Or last maybe, if you don't want to be bored watching a Spider-Man movie.
I have only heard of Miles Morales, so this was a helpful tool to learn who he really is. Then it kicks it up a notch to introduce other versions of Spider-Man that I never heard of. I knew there was a Spider-Woman out there; there's always a female version of a beloved superhero: Supergirl, Batgirl, Lady Thor. I'm not hating, but it feels less exciting when there are multiple versions of the same hero. I realized that contradicts this movie. Moving on.
I think it was weird that Gwen Stacy is the only Spider-person whose name isn't a variation of Peter. I mean we got Penni Parker, the anime child, Peter Parker, that goes to Noir and the Peter we're accustomed to, and Peter Porker, the Looney Toons one. Though I haven't seen it yet, I know Gwen was Peter's girlfriend in the Amazing Spider-Man films. but knowing that, what she supposed to possess spider skills and fight crime with Peter? We'll never know since she died in the second one. Hey, it's on the Internet and I read it.
I got to know a little bit about Kingpin/Wilson Fisk through the Netflix series, Daredevil. To this day, I still don't understand why Vanessa ended up with him in either universe and have a child with him. She had a nice life in the art gallery. She knew he was a criminal, so what the F? I'm getting off track. Kingpin's quest to bring back his family was a little heartbreaking because he fails to see the monster he's become when he fights Spider-Man. When the Spider-Man in Miles' dimension tried to reason with Kingpin, he refuses to listen and kills the web-slinger. And he still hasn't learned his lesson when he tried to kill Miles too, which becomes his major flaw in his plan. His tunnel vision clouds his judgment and hides who he truly is.
All this talk and no Mile-age. Miles is a quirky young kid from Brooklyn who struggles with his demanding father and caring mother. When he becomes bitten by a radioactive spider and Peter dies, he is thrust into the responsibility he spent years trying to hide from. His new skills help him man up and take the lead position, much like his dimensional counterparts. I think it's adorable that he and Gwen have something going on, but if you think about it, are they the same person since they live in alternate dimensions where something is different? Miles is a boy, and Gwen is a girl. Would they even able to be together or will they be forever apart? I'm all for them so I want to know before I get my hopes up.
The other Spiders were fun to see on screen, but now they need their own films, particularly Noir and Penni Parker. I especially want to see Peter Parker fight crime in a noir style film. The film did a fantastic job introducing them all, all you don't really feel lost in the commotion. I really want a movie on the Noir character, and I'm down on the Spider-Woman movie. I hope this film really sets the stage for future comic book movies to bring some lesser-known characters onto the big screen.
I hope you liked this. Be sure to subscribe and leave a comment about what you thought or if you want to recommend a movie for me to review. Thank you for reading. I'll return next week with another movie. See you then.
