A wild and well animated tale

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2019)

This review contains spoilers.
Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse is directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman. The animated movie premiered in 2008 and is written by Phil Lord. The movie stars Shameik Moore and Jake Johnson as the main voice cast. The movie is about a multiverse incident that Miles Morales becomes drawn into. He attempts to resolve the problem with the multiverse caused by Kingpin.
Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse is a solid movie. Across the board, the movie has a solid plot, solid visuals, and solid voice performances. There are many events in this movie that could be executed poorly, but the movie's direction and voice performances elevate it. The movie boasts many solid visuals from its incredibly distinctive design.
The visuals of this movie are easily the most distinctive and strongest part of the movie. The movie's visuals are not completely smooth at first, but with time the audience gets used to it. The visuals then flourish as the 117 minutes of running time go on. The visual only got better and more colorful as time went on. The ending sequence in the supercollider is exceptional as I do not think the scene could have worked as well live-action. The ending scene is both a treat to watch visually and experience emotionally.
The story is unique for a spider-man movie. The movie utilizes the multiverse and brings in multiple spider-man and spider-woman into the story. The new characters are introduced in a comic book style that fits the overall visual style of the film. These introductions are also funny as each of the spider-men come s from different backgrounds. This is something
that the movie does well as all of the different spider-men felt different. The movie utilized its humor incredibly well as many of the situations that Miles found himself in had humor to lighten the mood.
Miles Morales is a great spider-man. His entire story does not deviate from other spider-man stories much, but it is delivered in a way that feels fresh. This story is familiar, but the characters in the story are different from how we know them. It is this trait that makes the movie unique from other cinematic spider-man movies.
I would recommend Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse. This is a solid animated Spider-man movie for all ages to enjoy.
