The Best Movie Ever!!!

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2019)

The breathtaking movie Spiderman into the Spider-verse shares the idea that you can do anything, all it takes is a leap of faith. The fascinating split screen animations add a fun twist to the action packed movie. Miles Morales shows us how anyone can wear the mask and take on the responsibility of Spiderman, all you need is confidence, and, well, a near death experience. As Peter Parker says, "Everyone knows that the best way to learn is under intense life threatening crisis." I immediately fell in love with the animations and creative plot.
Spiderman into the Spider-verse takes you through the spectacular journey of Miles overcoming the struggles of being a regular teen, while also juggling the responsibility of saving everyone's lives alongside the other Spidermans from parallel dimensions.The main character, Miles Morales, just transferred to a private school. He hates going there but he knows that his parents won't let him go back to public school. After school, he goes to his uncle's house. According to his dad, his uncle isn't the best influence for Miles but the two of them get along with each other really well. Miles has a special connection with his uncle that he doesn't have with his dad. Late at night, Miles's uncle takes him to a secret location where they do graffiti to take his mind off of the stress of school. While they were admiring their work, Miles was bitten by a radioactive spider. He thought nothing of this until the next day, when suddenly, he kept sticking to things. He tried to convince himself that it was a normal spider, and that he was a normal kid. He didn't understand what was happening. It wasn't until he remembered a comic book that he read about Peter Parker. He realized that he was going through all of the same things that Peter was going through. Once he got bitten, you begin to see his thoughts in comic like bubbles. You get to see how Miles is reacting to every situation which takes the movie to a whole new level. The phenomenal animations were given dimension lines to exaggerate each character's facial expressions. It puts a fun twist to every other Marvel movie, in my opinion, it's what makes it better.
Saving the lives of citizens is a huge responsibility which have fallen in the hands of Miles. He asks his mentor, Peter Parker for advice,
"How am I supposed to save the whole world?" says Miles.
"Well you can't think about saving the world, you have to think about saving one person. One thing I know for sure, don't do it like me. Do it like you." says Peter. This teaches people that you can only be your best if you're being you, this is one of the most important messages in the movie. The thing is, Miles can't figure out how to work his powers, or what his powers even are. There's a lot of pressure being put on him. He's trying his best to figure out how to use his powers but nothing's working. Everyone's coming to the conclusion that he'll never be able to learn how to use his powers, even him. He started to stop believing in himself but deep down he was determined to save the lives of citizens, and help his friends. We've all been put in this situation at some point. Mile's shows us that you have to keep fighting. After everyone lost hope, Miles started to realize that he can use his powers whenever he really needed them, for instance, when Miles got into an argument with his dad, he had become fully invisible. Over time, he learned how to control all of his powers. This didn't come easy, he had to have a lot of confidence and persistence.
After all, as Peter Parker says, "In the end, that's all it takes. A leap of faith." This doesn't only apply to Spiderman, it applies to everything in life. It doesn't only show Miles story but it inspires many others to make on for themselves.
Although being Superman is incredibly difficult, keeping up with school can be very challenging. Miles is going through a lot at the moment, this meaning finding who is he is and trying to keep his grades up. He excels in all subjects at school but has a lot of self doubt. It wasn't until a teacher told him "You're trying to quit, and I'm not going to let you," that he began to realize that he can handle the pressure. At the same time, it's revealed that Miles has a crush on Gwen, he can't tell if the feelings are mutual though. It's interesting to see how Miles and Gwen work with each other. I think that showing a more vulnerable side of him makes the movie more relatable. Kids and adults can understand why it's so hard for him. It almost feels like you're being put in his shoes.The humorous, yet action filled movie takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions. You begin to create an unbreakable bond with Miles instantly.
Overall, the movie captures every part of being a kid and Spiderman. It's no surprise that everyone falls in love with it. I've always hated Marvel movies but this movie gave me a whole new perspective to action. Spiderman into the spider-verse helped me discover my love for Marvel.
