Rewatched 25 Jun 2023

Second rewatch, in preparation for Across the Spider-Verse, and it was even more rewarding than last time. It's not hard to imagine why; every single shot in this film is so densely packed with detail and colour that one could see it fifty times and not quite catch everything.

It's rare that you'll come across a big-budget studio superhero picture with this much heart and soul in it. The message is powerful and clear, the film's goofy sense of humour never diminishes the clear respect it has for each and every one of it's diverse selection of characters, and incredibly, all of the aforementioned players are given enough time to shine, kick ass and be memorable. This should be the model for the modern Marvel movie: huge scale and stakes, audacious but never losing sight of what's really important.
