Review of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) by Olilovesmovies — 21 Dec 2018

(NO SPOILERS).

It has been a long time since I have seen a film that resonated with me on so many levels. There is clearly so much passion and care put into this project, and it is hard to believe that the same company released the 'Emoji Movie' this year. I could harp on for hours about all the positives of this movie, but for your ease of reading, here are the highlights broken down into a digestible list:

1) Art style. Seriously, it's phenomenal the level of detail in this film, and we may never see an artistic vision executed so thoroughly and expertly in this kind of movie again. Nearly every frame could be hung on a wall for a Comic Book Gallery.

2) The dialogue and acting are on point, with smart, snappy exchanges between both believable and lovable characters. All the vocal performances are fitting for the characters and bring the story to lift.

3) The soundtrack, good song choices that are well integrated into the film, complimenting the scenes they cover without distracting from the story.

There are lots of other positives, but I think the best way to understand them would be for you to go an see this for yourself.
