That Blackberry film is great -- almost every scene bristles with energy and comedy. Matt Johnson is my favourite director from English Canada.

Though, be advised that a lot of the facts get obliterated for the sake of dramatic tropes.
Does it explore why Jim Balsillie couldn't get an NHL franchise?

And credit to Matt Johnson, he invited an ex employee who trashed the trailer to provide DVD commentary explaining all the inacuracies.

I loved the first Spideverse — saw it twice.

The only other spidey movie that comes close is the one made ages ago when Dr Octopus was the villain

Yeah, that one was probably the best of them, but they’re all trash for the most part. They never got the casting of Peter right either. I don’t think any of the three is a good choice for Peter.

The tom holland ones are great.
They’re okay. Compared to the prior ones, they’re great, but not anything special on their own that will stand the test of time.

Would be nice if they’d go a bit more adult with Peter and the story.

Do comic book characters usually age much?
Sorta. Like Dick Grayson went from kid Robin to adult Nightwing without Bruce seemingly aging any. So they’ll age them independently of others. I mean, Spidey is far removed from high school and was sort of well into adulthood with marriage back in the 80s, but they’ve basically regressed him back to just out of college age these days.
