Critics Consensus

Nicolas Cage delivers a gloriously pulpy performance that makes every quip and thwip crackle in Spider-Noir -- a dazzling, stylish blend of hard-boiled storytelling and pure comic book verve.

Cage has enormous fun with all of this but also establishes that his character sometimes is primarily a spider and physicalizes that in a way that's just a riot. If you saw him in "Vampire's Kiss," you're familiar with his brand of unbridled acting.

It’s a lot of fun, acting and direction are exemplary, and its parade of thieves, grifters, and bouncers are wonderfully evil.

3/4

Nicolas Cage gives a four-star performance in a three-star Spidey-adjacent series that is almost but not quite as gloriously unhinged as he is playing a 1930’s gumshoe who’s 70 percent Humphrey Bogart and 30 percent Bugs Bunny.

Spider-Noir is a blast. It’s a twisty noir mystery, a genuinely heroic super-hero story, and a loving homage to film noir as a whole.

4/5

This sharply written homage to classic film noir — which includes a standout Nicolas Cage performance — is the novel superhero project fans need.

Captures the nostalgia of watching noir films, but carries the sensibilities of the present... The few female characters are powerhouses. The racial undertones of the 30s are touched on and navigated. The music is sublime. Nicolas Cage is excellent.

A stylish, distinctive take on Spider-Man that actually feels different from everything else in the superhero genre. Nicolas Cage is perfectly cast, the noir atmosphere works brilliantly, and the series has real personality rather than feeling like another formulaic franchise spin-off. It’s dark, funny, visually striking and genuinely entertaining, with a strong central performance and a world I would absolutely have liked to spend more time in. Cancelling it after one season feels incredibly premature. Spider-Noir deserved the chance to continue and develop further. 5 stars — one of Prime Video’s most interesting recent series, and I really hope the decision not to renew it is reconsidered.

The noir aesthetic is fantastic, and Nicolas Cage is clearly having the time of his life. It's weird, moody and much more fun than I expected.

I usually like Nicolas Cage but he didn't really work in this role for me. The show was just OK, nothing great but not horrible. I wouldn't recommend it.
