Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (9.6) (96%) - Simply Brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2019)

This Spider-Man movie is unlike all others, exploring a world we're there are more than one individual that has been giving these powers from radioactive spiders. We follow Miles, a young kid who has in fact been bitten and slowly learns that he is just like his idol, Peter Parker. Miles has to deal with a couple of conflicts this movie. Hiding his powers from his Spider-Man hating cop dad, learning this new found abilities, saving his dimension and others from KingPin, and dealing with an loving uncle that is also working for the bad guy. A lot of these can be considered cliches, but this movie stands out from the rest, especially from and animation standpoint.

This animation does something that most others don't, and that's balancing aspects that make a movie good. This movie is so funny, and has a such unique sense of humor. There is a scene where miles throws a bagel at a bad scientist, and when it hits him a text comes up. This text just says "bagel" above his head, and it made me laugh so hard! The comic book feel of hand drawn animation is so perfect, and the most brilliant thing is in the frames themselves. While Miles is learning to hone his powers, he is quite bad when it comes to web slinging and using his abilities. This being taken into consideration, he is a lot slower than Peter. The animators didn't only show him falling behind, but actually animated him at 12fps instead of the normal 24. This not only gives a sort of slow feeling to Miles, but as the movie progresses he gets faster and faster, eventually getting to 24 frames.

Just a glorious movie, treat yourself to it if you have not yet!
