Sony’s sloppy Spider-Man universe gets even messier with Spider-Noir

Sony’s live-action Spider-Noir gets credit for its striking black-and-white noir look.

But the review says the story, tone, and character development are thin and uneven.

It also argues the show drifts too far from both the comics and Spider-Verse version of the character.

Nicolas Cage’s performance is described as mixed, while the series leans on familiar Spider-Man ideas without adding much new.

The piece frames the show as another example of Sony’s push to expand Spider-Man spinoffs with mixed creative results.
