Review
During the holiday season, a few blockbuster movies came out in cinemas. SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE was one of these films. I'd been looking forward to seeing The Grinch or Bumblebee when I chose the animated superhero feature instead (although I did get a chance to experience Bumblebee the following weekend before Christmas Eve). INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE is, according to many critics, the best animated movie of the year. Some have considered it the best film in the franchise since Spider-Man 2. The titular character and brand have been several times adapted by Sony with recent successes like Homecoming (mainly in conjunction with Disney and Marvel Studios) and the critically derided spin-off Venom. Also, a few Disney-owned movies have featured Spider-Man as a supporting character.
I'm surprised that the animated film has come from Sony's feature animation unit, which didn't have an excellent track record in recent movies like The Emoji Movie and The Smurfs series. I'm lucky that I have not seen these films! The creative maestros behind The LEGO Movie and 21 Jump Street had a hand in putting a fresh spin on the character with a burst of creativity. INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE doesn't deal with Peter Parker's origins as that has already been done in two film series but instead focuses on Miles Morales as he takes up the mantle from the original Spider-Man. It made me curious about the multiple versions of the titular character and how they come in. The movie contains a fun, emotional and action-packed storyline with memorable characters. There are even plenty of thrills to keep moviegoers satisfied.
The animation is fluid and has taken the comic book aesthetic, making this film stylish compared to the other animated superhero features. These films look standard in their approach. With a wonderfully diverse voice cast, all of whom perfectly fit their roles, including Shameik Moore as Miles Morales. Jake Johnson plays an older and cynical Peter Parker who barely gets in touch with his inner heroics. John Mulaney is hilarious and provides comic relief for Spider-Ham. Hailee Steinfeld is exceptional for Spider-Gwen. In his return to form, Nicolas Cage lends his voice as Spider-Man Noir. Also, be on the lookout for Stan Lee's voice cameo appearance. You may get a tear rolling from your eye after watching him. The soundtrack is impressive as it fuses the movie with songs layered with hip-hop and pop music.
I have nothing against INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE. It is unlike anything I have seen in a Spider-Man movie. The film proves that Sony can handle the franchise without Disney's ongoing assistance and is necessarily a game-changer. It is also a heartfelt tribute to two of its creators. The franchise wouldn't have existed without these two creators in their efforts. I consider this an extraordinary animated film and a new favourite. It is a must-see for every fan and moviegoer. Be sure to look upon this again when you see it shortly.
Star rating: (10/10) Best Movie Ever
