Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Actually captures the sensation of getting absorbed in a comic book.

A great story from top to bottom.

"This film manages the delicate feat of embracing its source material while also satirizing it."

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is immediately immersive, a colorful and adventurous cinematic experience that invites viewers along for the ride.

This juxtaposition of old-fashioned graphics and modern CGI effects is quite effective in bringing together the almost-real and the animated.

The latest entry in a fully saturated genre that somehow, through sheer creative gumption, does something new.

As long as there’s creative juice for this world, any follow-up would feel inspired. It’s a tough act to follow; it’s difficult to outshine one of the most multidimensional animation films of the decade.

It’s yet another example of a generic, forgettable superhero story catering almost exclusively to sci-fi action, entirely ignoring whether or not it feels coherent or meaningful.

Why the majority of superhero movies chose gloomy color palettes instead of Technicolor ones like Spider-Verse will never make sense. Ultimately, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a shining example of what a superhero movie can be.

Perhaps the most important animated film to come out in the last decade, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a renaissance of sorts for the artform.
