I'll say what everyone else said: this is like watching a comic book come to life. The visuals are amazing, the storyline is innovative, the soundtrack is spot-on, the characters and their progression are flawless, everything just works. If you don't like this movie, it's probably because you don't get a lot of the references and subliminal jokes and jabs; I've been reading spiderman comics my whole life, and was delighted to see so many alternate versions of the spider person represented on-screen. I'm also an avid animation fanatic, and even animate some myself. To see so many styles and artistic designs fused together in a seamless, comic book way is breathtaking. I wasn't expecting so much from this movie, I honestly wasn't even excited to see it. But when the credits rolled, I pushed back from the edge of my seat, brushed the popcorn off my shirt, and said "excelsior". Thanks for a great movie, Sony. I'm in awe.
