Spider-Man
Into the Spider-Verse is a great superhero movie for families and adults. This
movie is about Miles Morales who is struggling to learn how to become
Spider-Man when a villain opens up a a portal to other dimensions and now there
are numerous Spider-Men. They must get everyone back to their own dimension in
order to save the world. Shameik Moore did a fantastic job voicing Miles. They
do a good job making you care about him as a character and his family dynamic.
Jake Johnson does a great job voicing a very different Peter Parker. While his
voice took getting used to, I loved him by the end. Haliee Steinfeld did a
really good job voicing Gwen Stacy. Nicolas Cage, Kimiko Glenn and John Mulaney
did an incredible job voicing the other Spider-Men making them funny and
likable. Liev Schriber did a fantastic job voicing the villain. Mahershala Ali
and Brian Tyree Henry did a great job voicing Miles’s family. The animation is
incredibly unique as it looks like a comic book on screen. However, as a
creative choice, sometimes the backgrounds are out of focus compared to the
main characters and that can strain your eyes. If your eyes can handle it
though I highly recommend seeing this movie in 3D, it is a stunning experience
that way. The script for the most part is great. The big emotional scenes all
work well and the characters play off each other well. However, there are some
early character setup scenes that I just found to be absolutely awful and they
really took me out of the movie. Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey and Rodney
Rothman all did great jobs co-directing. At 117 minutes the movie moves at a
good pace though there is the random bad scene that really hurts the flow of
the story. Overall Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse is a great animated Spider-Man
movie, but with better character setup early on could have been a masterpiece.
8.5/10
