This modern-day adaptation of the award-winning 1960s Madeleine L'Engle's novel felt off, from the search engine to the lack of glasses.  Ava DuVernay directed, after Middle of Nowhere and Selma.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this movie, especially the visuals.  The story is solid, too, as are the acting, music, etc.  If I can't go higher with my grade, it's that there are limits to my interest in superheroes, but I did appreciate that Miles is both an everyteen and a specific individual.  I would happily watch the sequel, whenever it'll be released.

Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman co-directed.  I was confused that one of the Spider-folk was not voiced by Jake Johnson the singer, because I am old.

I came closer to liking this than I expected, helped by the very Texan quirkiness of the characters.  David Mackenzie directed.
