The superhero genre just got its first camp classic.
If Marvel is the Coke of superhero movies and DC is the Pepsi, Sony is the RC Cola, a passable substitute when they’re out of what you really want. Although the studio has had the rights to Spider-Man, one of the most iconic characters in comic-book history, since the end of the 1990s, they spent much of the 2010s struggling to convert that prize property into a watchable movie, let alone an expandable franchise.
It shouldn’t be a big deal, or even particularly noteworthy, thattakes place in a version of New York that actually feels like New York, or that its action sequences are spatially coherent and largely free of computer-generated murk. But by the recent standards of the genre, even its occasional jankiness comes as a pleasant change of pace. It’s the kind of superhero movie they made before superhero movies were all they made, disreputable and messy and kind of a hoot.is bad. Really bad.
