J.L. Neyhart: 2018 movies

I watched A LOT more movies in 2018 than ever before! Assuming I logged them all on letterboxd, 135 movies, to be exact. And of those 135 movies, 59 of them were new releases from 2018. Most of these movie titles below are linked to my very short mini-reviews on letterboxd.com. (I highly recommend it if you like to watch a lot of movies. It's like Goodreads for movies.)

I thought I didn't need another Spider-Man movie. I was wrong. This was so much fun!

Here are some of the reasons I loved it:

- I tend to enjoy anything that plays with the ideas of the multiverse/parallel worlds.

- It was very funny at times.

- The animation was stunning! They made it feel like you were watching an actual comic book come to life!

- really fun soundtrack

- Spider-Gwen!!!

- Looney Tunes inspired Peter Porker/Spider-Ham! ("That's all folks!" / "Can he say that? You know, legally?")

- Stan Lee cameo

- Spider-Man Noir, the Peter Parker from a black and white universe in 1933. He is a private detective, of course. And he is voiced by Nicholas Cage.

- During the first origin story recap by Peter Parker, we see all of these flashback type clips referring to scenes we've seen in previous Spider-man movies, including the iconic upside-down kiss in the rain from the first one with Tobey Maguire and the train rescue.
