The third best Spidey movie!

Rating: 7/10 (11 May 2019)

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse
There's a lot of talk going around that this is the best Spider-Man movie ever made.
Whilst I can't agree with that statement (Spider-Man 2 still holds that trophy in my opinion) this animated offering is a fine addition to the Spidey franchise.
Produced by the talented duo Lord and Miller, Spider- Verse is fresh and exciting. It's a visual treat with a surprisingly good script and voice cast.
The animation is deserving of its Oscar as there's some inventive visuals that lend both to subtle comedy and aids the storytelling.
Spider-Verse looks wonderful in Hi-def.
Colours are bold and vibrant. Action scenes are comprehensive allowing the audience to fully immerse.
Whilst slower portions of the movie involving dialogue are witty and heartfelt.
The story tells of teenage Miles Morales who becomes Spider-Man in his own reality whilst crossing paths with many Spider-Men and women from alternate universes.
If you're not familiar with the comic books then you'll be thinking "I thought Peter Parker was Spider-Man?"
Well, he is but this adventure proves that anyone can be the web slinger and there's much more to being Spidey than just donning the mask.
As aforementioned Spider-Verse is a visually engaging piece of entertainment that is backed up by a impressive sound mix and wonderful soundtrack.
This is a great movie to get you're Home Theatre system warmed up.
Surround effects are spacious and bass is deep and punchy helping the films score come to life.
Dialogue is always crisp and audible, never getting lost in the chaos of the action.
So how does this movie compare to its live action siblings?
I personally would put it behind Rami's second helping and Tom Holland's first outing.
Making this the third best Spidey movie.
I understand why it's been awarded such high praise but I prefer a live action movie.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse does get a little too disconnected from reality at times ( a little too cartoonish) but this is not to say that it's not a magnificent movie.
One that I'm glad to own and one I will watch over and over again.
