How many spider-people are there?

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2020)

Spiderman: Into the Spider-verse is one of the best superhero movies I've seen in the decade. This new comic book style animation is extremely charming. The characters are charming. The main character has a great arc that allows us to journey with him and experience the growing pains of becoming a superhero.
While most superhero movies are far too eager to get to the spandex costumes and explosive showdowns as soon as possible, in this movie Miles Morales spends most of his time learning to control his powers. We get to know him as a normal teenage kid and get to identify with him. It makes the final showdown so much more meaningful when it happens at the end.
The one criticism I have of the movie is that I got pretty overwhelmed when all the spin-off spider characters got introduced. I was OK with up to 3, maybe 4 spiders. But I hadn't even heard of characters like Peni Parker or Spider-Ham, and they were kind of distracting in some parts. I didn't like that they took up screen time when I'd rather be looking at Peter B Parker or Miles Morales or even Gwen. But I suppose some hardcore fans would have enjoyed them.
Also, this had the absolute best end credit sequence I had seen in any movie. Definitely keep watching to see some real good art.
