Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
When watching Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, I had that feeling like I had watching The Incredibles or Mad Max: Fury Road. Goose bumps on how much I was enjoying what I was watching. It’s good. I think it was the best movie I watched this year.
Marvel had a knock-out 2018: Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Ant-Man and the Wasp — all really good films. With Into the Spider-Verse, they wrapped up 2018 with a bang.
The animation was something else. It’s what makes this film for me. It’s very different than what you normally see in the theatres. It reminds me a little of Scott Pilgrim: a comic book represented on the screen. It makes you appreciate the medium of animation; there are more possibilities than you can expect.
The story was good. I didn’t mind that it was an origin story. It was several! Spider-men in the multi-spidey-verse.
This film is so good it makes me want to read the source comics. Who is this Spider Gwen? The noir spider-man? Anime Penni Parker? Peter Porker? I have to read the comics. Anyone know the issues we should start on?
I’m gonna watch it again.
5 of 5 stars.
