As usual, the movie was alright. I liked it. It was easy to watch, heart warming at times and had lots of fun adventures. This is going to be the most petty 'review' ever. I'm only going to review one thing as well, which makes this not really a 'review' of the movie either. Just of the wardrobe.
The biggest thing I didn't like was the outfit.
.... I know... That's why I said it was petty. Ok so Gwen wearing a white outfit was already bad enough, but really, in most Spiderman universe, comic, movie or whatever it is, she's not a main character. She'll be like a main character for like a few cartoon/comic series and that's about it. Same thing with the Japanese spider'girl', Penny Parker (which... doesn't even have any remotely Japanese name) who rides a mechanical spider robot with some red and blue features. They're not going to be the new face of spiderman. Buf Mile Morales is. That's where the problem in his outfit lies.
I get that the new gen spiderman had to be a black cool kid who does cool things like vandalizing with his uncle, goes to a preppy school but is so cool and weird that he doesn't fit in and he can't relate to his uncool parents who has normal jobs like being a police and a doctor or what not and spiderman has to hate his life in general to be relatable. I get that. The new spiderman comic or movie has to gain new audience; young, cool and some teen that identify with the whole, 'not fitting in' (not realizing every single one of their generation says the same thing) audience at that. He even has new cool, awesome superpowers, like becoming invisible and being able to use venom. I told myself, "Well, this is the new spiderman". But I still couldn't get over this one fact.
Gwen's a girl. She gets a white and red (mixed to be pink I guess) spider suit. Miles's a black. He gets a black spider suit. Are you kidding me?? I didn't know I was watching Spider-rangers?? Oh I wonder why Penny Parker, the asian spiderman wasn't wearing a bright yellow suit??? Is it cause you have a poorly explained mechatronic spider thing?? Red and blue is an icon. If I wanted black suits, I would've watched black panther. But not only is this kid nothing like the previous spiderman who represented a lot of geeks and struggling early 20s in a different light, he didn't even care about the previous spiderman's life. If I really wanted some cool, uncaring, non-geek or nerd individual, I really just would've watched deadpool or one of those poorly made DC movies these day.
Sigh... In any case, as I've stated, the movie itself is alright. I just didn't like some very few facts.
