For a number of reasons, I wasn't able to see this in Theaters. Now that it is out (and just won an OSCAR!), I got to finally check it out...
This is Miles Morales. He's a smart Teenager in New York City.
This is Spider-Man. He's...well, you know.
Fate intervenes to have Miles bitten by a strange Spider, giving him familiar powers (and some new ones).
Going back to the scene of the incident the next night, Miles ends up in the middle of a battle between Spider-Man and Green Goblin (plus some others).
After a big even that night, a man appears that is...also Spider-Man...only older and disgruntled.
As more of them show up, can Miles become the Hero that he promised to be?

A visual delight. A touching Story. A wonderful spectacle. Sorry, when I watch really good Films, I turn into the guy who writes the blurbs they used on Movie Posters. Seriously though, the Movie is really good. I've always been a Spider-Man fan- whether the Films were good, bad or alright. Hell, I'd probably even like that Canon Film that never got made. The bar was pretty high for me after the last Spider-Man Film. Thankfully, this Film has all of the tools to hurdle that bar like a mustachioed Track Star from the 1970s. The Animation is beautiful. The Film has tons of style. The Story has lots of heart. Miles is finally getting his day on the big Screen. Here's hoping that this leads to more for Marvel's heir apparent. I love that the Film goes all-in on certain gags and moments. Seeing the many different styles of the Spider-Man origin being told (see below) is fun. All of the Voice Cast is great too, from Nicolas Cage parodying Noir dialog to Lily Tomlin as a fun Aunt May. Besides, after The Mummy, it is nice to see Jake Johnson get some good material! All joking aside, Comic Fans will (and did) love this Film. Non-Comic Fans who can appreciate Animation will (and did) love this Film. Here's hoping for more of this!
A fun Film that could have just phoned it in with great visuals. It has heart and substance too, taking it to the next level of great.
