This was one of my childhood movies that I've decided to re-watch, and it's honestly not worth the amount of hate it gets! Of course it's obvious the animation, CGI, and effects are spectacular. But the new take the director took compared to the Raimi Trilogy had it's own set of potential pros and cons.
I loved the expansion of world building, as well as more details on characters that you would hardly ever see on the screen. It makes the plot appear more serious and entertaining, like a miniature investigation that you have to piece together by the end of the second film.
However, some parts do appear unnecessary, sometimes it feels like it was just dropped in the movie to extend time. Though maybe I'm just nit-picking.
Overall, very fun! A nice fresh take without removing what made Spider-man, Spider-man. Over hated trilogy that deserves at least basic respect.
