Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Review




Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a computer-animated comic book film based on the Marvel character Miles Morales/Ultimate Spider-Man. The movie is produced by Sony Pictures Animation, Columbia Pictures, and Marvel Entertainment and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is written by Phil Lord and Rodney Rothman and directed by Bob Persichetti, Rodney Rothman, and Peter Ramsey.



The story is Miles Morales has gotten the same Spider abilities that Peter Parker the former Spider-Man had. In the classic Spider-Man mold Miles has to balance being a high school student and being a superhero. One day he meets a Peter Parker from another dimension. Together they along with other Spider-Men from the Spider-Verse must stop a threat that if they fail none of them will be able to go home.





Initial Reaction



Now I was fully invested in this film when the first trailer dropped. Judging by the trailers this could be one of the most interesting Spider-Man films put up on the big screen. Now yes I still remained skeptical that way if the film sucked I didn't bring myself down. But none the less I was fully pumped for this movie.





Cons



I've got nothing to say. So let's move on.









Middle Ground



One thing that could have used a little more work on is the main villain Kingpin. While he does have a pretty good motivation for his plan he's overall character was standard. He really could have been just slightly more fleshed out like our heroes.








Pros



Now this film has been receiving praise for it's animation. Does it deserve it. Oh yes it does. The animation is stunning. A few aspect to love about the animation is each Spider hero are rendered differently, when a character toss something to another you can see a little line when said object is in their hand, and just some many other big and small details. One thing that took me by surprise was the film's darker moments. I mean we see on-screen deaths. It's not anything graphic like a horror film or a rated-r comic book movie but it still was shocking to see. While there are dark moments but at the same time we get humorous moments. Seriously there were some great moments that had me balling. Another part of the movie to enjoy is the easter eggs. I really had funny spotting some of those. My final praise for the film is Miles' arc. Throughout the movie he has to learn to control his powers whether it be Peter teaching him or figures it out himself. It definitely it's perfect automatically.





Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is definitely one of my favorites. It has great animation, dark moments, funny moments, fun easter eggs to spot, and Miles' arc. The only thing that could use more work was Kingpin's character.





My final rating is Great
