GOD DAMN this was TREMENDOUS. this is EXACTLY what a comic book movie should be.only niggle, which is common to pretty much all movies and tv now, is that everything happens so fast you forget what just came before. there's v little time to actually process anything. but my lord, the benday dots and shading and absurdly abstract climax - cars and buildings and trains and the brooklyn bridge all floating by in a swirling, howling matrix of dots and colours, all to be used as background and leverage and weapon. utterly insane.my 7-y-o says, pausing over a burrito afterwards, "it was all about the promise he makes to peter parker." and i thought god damn, lord and miller would bottle that moment if they could and put it on their mantelpiece.i don't think I've ever seen anything like it, outside of loony tunes. the anarchy and physical delight of it.― Tracer Hand, Sunday, December 30, 2018

Three times in my life have I been in a movie theatre and seen something so funny that my entire body seized up in a static form of hysterical laughter. The first was age 10 when Bob Hoskins yells "Ooga Booga" at the bouncer in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". The second was Jonah Hill wiping out on a side-view mirror in Superbad. The third was the moment when Aunt May is looking around her house at the various fight scenes, and frames appear 1-2-3-4 of tussling, and the final fourth frame is of Spider-Ham smashing one of Aunt May's plates over his own head. One of the funniest gags I've ever seen tbh― flamboyant goon tie included, Tuesday, January 8, 2019

Let the Sunshine In was my #2 and I highly recommend it for anyone that likes Curb Your Enthusiasm. Totally fucking brilliant black comedy about dating and empty gestures. One of the meanest movies I've seen this decade.

my #4
visually next-level. yeah the storytelling beats were abrupt, even rushed (it's a comic) - none of that matters. pure entertainment, pure gratification. and with charming characters to boot! the final set-piece was completely overwhelming in a way that live-action cgi could never, ever be
turns out that comic book movies can work if they actually look and think like comic books

I enjoyed this but it wasnt amazing or anything. Not as good as Dogtooth or The Lobster but much better than Sacred Deer (which I hated)The dialogue could have been a bit sharper though. It leaned a bit too heavily on actors in aristocratic clothing saying "cunt" for comic effect― Michael B, Thursday, January 10, 2019

I kinda feel other films might have had at least one line of dialogue earlier to set up that he has access to a forge, an interest in crafting weapons or something...The fact that he wordlessly feels he has to craft his own weapon pulls this deep into some Joseph Cambell/Odysseus/Descent into the underworld headspace.― Hamildan, Tuesday, October 30, 2018
