Best animated movie I have ever watched

Rating: 8/10 (28 August 2019)

I have been waiting to see Spider-Man: Into The Spider-verse for so long and I was so bummed that when they announced a Netflix release date, it turned out to be the US release. But this week it finally released on Dutch Netflix! I felt like a little girl getting so excited about a movie. And I was not surprised that I absolutely loved it!
Off all the Marvel heroes, Spider-man is definitely one of my faves. Spider-man is so different from the others, he is still young and learning and not so damn serious as the rest. He is also different in his super powers. While others rely on their strength or a form of magic (or both, like Thor), Spidey relies on his agility. Sure, he is strong too, but he doesn't beat badguys by punching them really hard.
In this movie, we meet a few alternate universe Spider-people. One of them is Miles Morales, a teenager who looks up to Spider-Man and gets bitten by a radio active spider. (Yes, he too.) He lives in an alternate version of 'our' world and is joined by Spider-people from 5 other dimensions. They are all just amazing. Each has their own personality and motivation to do what they do. But I really love how Miles deals with the whole situation and how his character develops throughout the movie. Long story short, I absolutely adore this version of Miles Morales and we need more protagonists like him!
Watching this movie, I fell in love with the animation style. I heard from others it was good and I saw a teaser pretty early, but I had no idea how gorgeous it looked. It looks like they animated a comic book in a modern coat with amazing colouring.
As the movie is animated, the makers of Into The Spider-verse were able to include more visuals compared to regular movies. My favourite example of that is how they made a visual for everyone's Spider-sense. It's such a small thing, but it added so much to the movie. There's more like this, but I don't want to spoil.
I absolutely loved how the makers of this movie took at how many Spider-Man reboots there have been made. I am not gonna tell you how, but it's hilarious. Oh, and don't forget to watch the after-credits scene!
I really recommend this movie, even for people that aren't really that much of a fan of Marvel. It's such an easy watch with a great story line and it's a fun watch for young and old. It is by far my favourite animated movie and I think it's even better than tons of non-animated ones.
