The best animated film and comic book adaptation of 2018

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2019)

This is the first superhero film that takes full advantage of the comic book medium, splashing it proudly onscreen with its gorgeous animation, incredible action sequences, and radical soundtrack. Crafted with genuine and absolute passion by its creators, it honors not only the talent and heart of its titular character himself, but (unlike any superhero film before) also celebrates the wider lore and mythology of the comics themselves.
Spider-Verse is the rare superhero film that truly and authentically explores the heart and soul of who Spider-Man. By expanding the titular superhero character to a diverse new roster, it posits the rare moral message that anyone can be Spider-Man.
While not without very minor grips and flaws (for example, its pacing and slightly poorer villains), Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a landmark film, a milestone in the superhero genre, and rightfully stands as one of the greatest superhero films ever made.
