A Fresh Take

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2018)

With a very likable new hero, style oozing from every frame, and a comic book weirdness that might only work in animation, Into the Spider-Verse is a fresh take on the Spider-Man franchise that is very welcome. Heavy on humor, action, heart, a pack of both heroes and villains... there are a lot of moving pieces here that very easily could've not worked. I'm glad to say that it all comes together in the end for a very enjoyable adventure. You can feel the Lord/Miller voice with some of the meta humor similar to The LEGO Movie, but it is definitely doing its own thing and really felt cohesive/unique. If you think you are interested in this movie, I'm fairly certain you will enjoy it.
