Spider-Noir

I’m so surprised at how much this captured me from the first episode and blew me away, I loved this show!

The acting, the 1930’s setting and the black and white pallet all give this show so much style and I didn’t expect to love it this much! The B&W colour really enhances so much of the cinematography and the different shots that they tried to pull off, which are both done really well.

The characters are soooo good! Nick cage as Ben Reilly is so well casted, he’s unbelievably cool, and witty and it’s so much fun watching him be a detective investigator character. Silvermane was a surprisingly good villain, he reminded me of the penguin and kingpin, he’s a lot like them. The superpowered characters were handled very well in my opinion and I like the way that spider-noir gets his powers, it all links together pretty well and it’s a cool switch up.

Also the opening theme song absolutely slaps, they cooked with it. Do not sleep on this, yet another really well done piece of spider man media that does not disappoint.

My score: 8.5/10

so stupid why is it in black and white. makes no sense and it's soooooo boring omg

I love Nic Cage, and I love Spider-Man. Unfortunately, I didn't love Spider-Noir. I was expecting peak, like in every other Spider-Man project. However, I'd probably rank this in the bottom tier of Spider-Man rankings due to the weak acting, pacing, and engagement. It's not all bad, as it does justice to Noir himself, plus the visuals look great, from the web designs to the costumes to the cinematography. The storylines are great too, but as a series, it lacks watchability. I watched the black-and-white version, and I wish I liked it enough to rewatch it in colour. All in all, it's got positives and negatives.

I enjoyed it. Good for Amazon making it. Nic cage is always amazing. Hope we get some more
