My god, what a masterpiece. Really sad it ended on a cliffhanger (although we should’ve expected it to be honest) but even if this is only the first part it was a phenomenal experience.
I love how Miles is even more developed as a character and distinguished from the rest of the characters, how this movie explored what it means to be Spider-Man, and whether it’s morally right to sacrifice one person for many others. What also resonated with me is how the movie explored finding acceptance and how parents struggle when their kids reach adulthood. Gwen’s father and Miles’ parents were amazing in this movie. But the main highlight was definitely Miles and Miguel’s beliefs clashing and Miles taking the courage to become his own person. Together with the amazing visuals and the score I was just sitting in the theater thinking “Yeah, this is cinema”.
On a technical level, it was of course pretty amazing, although I have to say it’s also kinda taxing to watch because they spam all kinds of colors so much and especially in action the camera is going absolutely nuts. The good thing is that it didn’t detract from my enjoyment too much and it captures the quirkiness of Spider-Man in a way that live-action movies never manage but once the movie was done my head was about to explode lol.
