Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse

Over the weekend we went to see the animated Spider-Man: Across the Spider Verse. It was a good movie though not as compelling as the first. Don't think this is a spoiler - just something you should be aware of - this is not a stand-alone move but part one of two parts. 

You should also be aware that unlike MCU movies - there are no mid or end credit bonus scenes. This is a Sonly flick and they don't do that.

Have to agree that Miles Morales is perhaps my favorite Spider-Man and his powers may be the strongest of the Spider-Men to grace the screen (either real-life or animated).

Would recommend the movie heartily, though I would stipulate you be aware of the conditions I mentioned above so you're not disappointed.

Top 5 List - Thoughts on Spider-Man Homecoming

Went to see the new Spider Man movie this week Spider-Man Homecoming and here are my Top 5 thoughts on the movie:

1. In my opinion it was a good movie but not a great movie. I enjoyed seeing it but wasn't pumped to see it again like after seeing Deadpool or the first Avengers movie for example. Currently Spider-Man Homecoming is at 93% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes - so bottom line it's a good movie.

2. I think part of the reason I was so blaise on the movie is because I'm not the movie's target audience. It's really geared to teenagers.

3. Speaking of teenagers - is 80's First Wave / Punk music what kids are listening to today? Or was the soundtrack something for the older folks in the audience like me? Songs from the Ramones, English Beat, Flock of Seagulls, Yello, etc.

4. Michael Keaton was a good villain in the movie. His backstory made perfect sense. He played it perfectly. The after credits scene left open the possibility he might be back.

5. Heard a rumor that Deadpool might be in the next Spider-Man movie. Not sure how I feel about that.
