Review of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) by Arguy — 15 Dec 2018

The movie is incredible. It’s not just the Ultimate Spider-Man, it’s the ULTIMATE Spider-Man movie. Most movies tend to focus on a few characters and forget the rest or focus on lots of characters, but they don’t have enough screen time for each of them.

The movie pulls it off where each character is on screen for an appropriate amount of time where you can invest your emotions in each one of them. You can also distinguish each character due to their unique personalities and designs.

And every single character is redeemable (except for the main villain). The art style is bold and expressive and it makes the movie stand out above many motion animated pictures. It fits so well with the peoples’ and the environment’s actions as you are going through the movie, and it does not ever seize to amaze me.

The story is great with relatable characters and as well as an adventure filled with comedy, heart, and passion. It’s pacing only feels slow once or twice and it always manages to catch my attention no matter which scene I am watching.

The combination of the art and the story makes the movie feel interesting and I get invested with it all. In the end, it’s a movie full of not only comedy and self-referential parts, but it’s also a movie with (again) heart, passion, and effort.

Which is what all movies should be made with today.
