Spider-Man : Into the Spider-Verse

Rating: 9/10 (31 October 2019)

Spider-Man : Into the Spider-Verse is a spot-on animated movie and probably the best Spider-Man movie.
The movie talks about Miles Morales, a young Afro-American from Brooklyn who just entered pension in a new school. One day, while tagging walls with his uncle Aaron, with whom he has a strong relationship, he is beaten by what seems to be a weird spider. He soon realizes that he has been gifted by arachnid's powers. One night, he escapes from the school and he encounters Spider-Man fighting in a testing room run by Wilson Fisk, who kills the spider once and for all. A failed experience creates a near ressemblance to a portal and strange events happens in the city, as it mourns Spider-Man's death. Miles soon encounters different people having the same abilities than him but from different dimension, who arrived from the portal : Peter B. Parker, a student he had seen previously in his class called Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man Noir, Peter Porker and Peni Parker. The new Peter Parker teaches Miles how to become a proper Spider-Man, and with the help of their friends, team up against Fisk and a new villain running in town, The Prowler.
The cast of voice actors truly lines up well with the fluid animation. Shameik Moore, portraying Miles, reflets the character's youth and thirst of liberty. Jake Johnson's depressive and nearly retired Peter B. Parker highlights the difference with Chris Pine's hopeful and optimistic Peter Parker. Nicholas Cage, Kimiko Glenn and John Mulaney, even being side characters, portray very nicely their comic or tragic personalities. Liev Schreiber as Wilson Fisk, Kathryn Hahn as Olivia Octivius, and the incredible Mahershala Ali as The Prowler, express their emotions though their perfidious and evil personalities.
The movie is an incredible movie emotionally, having touches of fun throughout the story, balancing with Peter B. Parker's tragic backstory and has a powerful family relationship. It truly deserves the Oscar it received for Best Animated movie.
