Over the course of two decades,Emma Stonehas written her own movie star playbook.
But in both entries of SonysThe Amazing Spider-Mansaga, Stone steals the show as Gwen Stacy.
The result is a trippy journey through multiple realities that sends the characters careening across genres and time periods.

Stone is delightfully devious as a punk rock designer who embraces her wicked side.
She seeks revenge during her rampage through 1970s London, and it’s hard not to cheer her on.
Oh, and the pilot features an angry little girl who puts a curse on them.

As they endure the consequences, Stone channels pure awfulness via Whitneys performative philanthropy.
And if the Oscar is any indication, its a rousing success.
In addition to being the latest film from Stone,Poor Thingsmight very well be the greatest.
