I just got back from a preview showing for the new Spider-man movie, and WOW. It is LIT (pardon my language). Soooooo funny with tons of personality and a surprisingly great depth of emotion in quite a few scenes (some tears may have been shed). I love this new take on the comic book hero origin movie and the entire film just screams originality. I wasn't 100% sure on the animated look before, but it really fits into the entire setting and "alternate dimensions" premise of the movie later, which injects a ton of creativity and potential into this new film.
After Sony released Venom, I thought that they should just stop trying with the Spider-verse. However, this new film and universe gives me a completely different perspective. I can't believe something like this came from Sony...
Great animation, mind blowing visuals, tremendous story arc, amazing humour and pays homage to the late Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. The post credits scene was funny as fuck.
Great storytelling and concepts, it may be weird and even inaccesible for some folks, but it’s also very creative, original and bold. The characters are fantastic and well rounded, and they all inhabit a NY that’s captured it in a very unique way. That’s mostly a result of the animation, which grasps the attention immediately because it’s so boundary pushing and atmospheric. It’s just hard to find any weaknesses in it. The comedy is strong and tasteful, it doesn’t drag, the voice acting is excellent and all of the different Spiderman add to the story in their own way. I’m not as much of a fan of some of the bland autocrooning in the soundtrack (that’s probably the biggest thing that might make this seem dated in the future), though I generally still like most of the musical choices made here.
8.5/10
Easily my favorite animated film in the last 5 years.
Where most animation suffers from plot dragging, too much comedy, or unrealistic character's, this one had none of these issues. The beginning captured me, meeting Miles, his uncle, and Spider Man - everything felt like how life happens, as opposed to 'random chance'.
There is so much about this art piece I loved, I can't even recount it all. The music was very fitting, and all voice talent well placed. A scene that gave me chills and tears at the same time, was the entire monologue of Miles' father while he was tied up, all the way through Miles discovering himself, painting the suit, and swinging through the city. That entire scene was perfect in every way - the music, the visuals, the emotion from the buildup, everything. The last time I was filled with that much emotion from animation was when Hiccup and Toothless met and were drawing in the sand, in How To Train Your Dragon.
I also loved the art style. It somehow clearly set itself apart from other animation, while simultaneously being beautiful, and at times realistic. I would love to see more of this style.
Spiderverse didnt just surprise it surpassed my expectations. The Animation itself was mind blowing, the visuals and story arc was fantastic. Loved how Miles Morales was depicted and Peter Parker was a loveable character, this isnt your typical animation and sony seems to be getting it right after Venom. Spiderverse has a deep story but what brings it back to earth is the comedy, just perfect.
Loved that they paid homage to Stan Lee - If you havent seen it then watch it, and I really hope there is a sequel
This film is gorgeous. The best looking animation movie I've seen in a long time. The story is great and flows really well. It has a lot of heart and is really funny. It explains things quick and doesn't focus on anything for too long. Seeing all the other universes' Spider-Mans (Spider-Men?) was a lot of fun. The voice cast is stacked with people that I recognized but couldn't place right away, except for Nic Cage, I recognized him right away. Go see this and enjoy seeing the closest thing to an actual comic on the big screen.
Edit: I caught a lot more the second time and loved it even more. This easily is one of the best of the year and one of my all time favorites.
Spider-Verse was the best animated movie I’ve seen in YEARS and CREATIVELY best movie of 2018. I can’t believe how revolutionary, progressive, mind bending this movie is. Thank you Chris Miller and Philip Lord for this MASTERPIECE. They were so respectful to source material.
Action scenes were superb. Every scene, every shot is unique and cool af. Music choice was awesome. Story was more emotional than I thought and had a great message. Made me cry few times. Made me laugh several times. Loved all tributes to Stan Lee and Ditko. GO SEE THIS MOVIE!
I don't know. Not that pretty. Not that funny. Not that good. It looks, sounds and works exactly like an only for children disney channel movie.
I'm probably the only one with a low rating for this film, but it just didn't do it for me. Not to complain about the graphics or music or so, but the story was just nowhere near as good and the jokes were not funny.
Spider-Ham: That's all, folks.
Peter B. Parker: Is he allowed to say that? Legally?
Part 8 (of 8) of my Spider-Man movie re-watch marathon in preparation for No Way Home. Generally I have not been updating my original scores during this marathon, even in cases when the films didn't hold up, but in this case it's a nonissue because my original score (8/10) still feels appropriate.
THE BAD: No big problems, just nitpicks. I'm not a big fan of Miles' non-traditional venom strike and invisibility powers. They just don't feel very Spider-Man to me (apologies in advance if they are actually comic book accurate powers, but I certainly wasn't aware of them beforehand). That said, I appreciate their importance from a narrative perspective and thought they were used well throughout the movie. While the over-the-top nature of this movie's premise is obviously very intentional and allows for extreme creativity, certain elements just weren't my speed. In particular, the Looney Tunes-esque Peter Porker was not a real value-add for me. There were also certain action sequences (e.g. the cemetery/dragged by train set piece) that were a bit more slapstick/cartoonish than I would like, especially given the darker tone/event that kicked off the plot.
THE GOOD: The most impressive thing about this movie is the fact that it successfully executes such a ridiculously ambitious premise. Interdimensional antics have been a mainstay of comic book storytelling for probably 50+ years, but this film might be the first real success in translating those antics to the big screen. The darker elements of the story are well executed, leading to some very effective emotional beats (including a great Stan Lee cameo, rest in peace). The animation is top tier, with maximum creativity on display in every scene. In particular, the comic book inspired elements (thought bubbles, multi-panel sequences, etc.) are perfect. The soundtrack is killer. The voice acting is top notch. The humor is plentiful, naturalistic, and meaningfully contributes to character development. Jake Johnson's Peter B. Parker is an impressive example of how lean storytelling combined with well known mythos can establish compelling new characters very quickly (this technique was also used to varying degrees of success in Marvel's recent animated What If...? show on Disney+).
And with that, my Spider-Man movie re-watch marathon is officially over. Luckily, with No Way Home coming out tomorrow, I won't have to wait long to get another dose of the web-slinger. It's really a testament to the character that even after watching 8 straight films, I'm still excited for more.
This was the best Spiderman movie I have ever seen! I usually watch movies lately while doing other things. This movie had my full attention! I watched it twice back-to-back it was that good! Plus I wanted to catch things I might have missed the first time. I highly recommended this movie if you enjoy comic books on film, like Spiderman, enjoy great storytelling, respect beautiful animation! A MUST SEE!
Loved every second of this movie showing that there is many Spider Man And Spider Women Superheros ETC in the multiverse really enjoyed story line on points and voice acting and animation was on point too. My favourite character is Gwen Stacey voice acted by the amazing Hailee Steinfeld really brought the character to life and I really loved the hinted relationship between Miles Morals And Gwen Stacy really takes me back to being a kid watching Spider Man in the good old days especially the films and animated ones too.
I wasn't originally planning to watch this (not huge on animated superhero stuff) but I'm so glad a friend dragged me along to this. It's a fantastic movie.
The visual style alone blew me away and is probably the most original use of motion graphics since we switched from hand-drawn to computer animation. I'm so curious to see how this will influence other animated properties going forward.
The story is great, and pulls off its high concept with confidence and ease. While this is Miles's story at its core, all the characters get their due and the movie makes the most of its multiverse.
Highly recommended. Looking forward to re-watching this one.
Amazing! This movie was incredible.
I loved the story, the characters, the fights, everything.
Well deserved the Oscar to Best Animated Feature Film.
I really hope to see a sequel. It's worth it.
Pretty good movie with some decent comedy at times. Wasn't a fan of how Miles skipped his training arc via a talk with his father. Was a fan of the authentic and seemingly realistic voice acting by some of the main cast, like Aaron.
Ready to see the next
Flashy visuals with some terrific work on the animation, dashed with a right amount of tasteful comedy, poking fun of previous Spider-Man iterations and common superhero tropes in general without dragging it down. The first half of the film has the story going well with coming-of-age drama and superhero team up; but the second half kind of resolved the conflict very quickly and just get done with it - including the film version of "who murdered the Uncle Ben" - which made the pace kinda abrupt and downplayed the tension, but still somehow worked. It's not the best story out there but still manages to give short bursts of emotional touch in-between the visuals and the multiverse concept. Certainly it did much better than Far Away From Home.
Miles Morales, not Peter Parker, is the lead character in the new animated film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the latest venture from Sony and Marvel. The movie follows Miles as he develops his spider powers and teams up with various versions of Spider-Man to take down the nefarious Kingpin and his machine. The movie offers a refreshing take on a beloved character and a unique visual style that combines traditional comic book drawings with 3D and 2D animation. The voice work from the ensemble cast is excellent and the writing is filled with humor and heart. Overall, Spider-Verse is a visually stunning and fun film that is a refreshing addition to the Spider-Man franchise.
Miles Morales, no Peter Parker, es el personaje principal de la nueva película animada, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, la última aventura de Sony y Marvel. La película sigue a Miles mientras desarrolla sus poderes de araña y se une a varias versiones de Spider-Man para derrotar al infame Kingpin y su máquina. La película ofrece una versión refrescante de un personaje querido y un estilo visual único que combina dibujos tradicionales de cómics con animación en 3D y 2D. El trabajo de voz del elenco es excelente y la escritura está llena de humor y corazón. En general, Spider-Verse es una película visualmente impresionante y divertida que es una adición refrescante a la franquicia de Spider-Man.
68 | The visuals and music are so perfect for the story and the characters introduced. No wonder Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse is loved by everybody, especially comic fans. Honestly, this film has an okay main story, it felt great just because of how many characters were involved who could make us hype to watch. It also had generic animation story diseases which are ignored physics and bland extra characters. Anyways, this film is the first one that successfully brought comic visuals into a moving picture. It better be more animation like this with a way better story.

Favorite Characters
Before no way home, this was my favourite spidey film. It's now my second favourite but it still hols up after rewatch which I was worried that it wouldn't. All of the spider-people are incredible, Gwen, Miles, Uncle Aaron & Doc Ock are some standouts! I can't wait for the second film coming out next year.
I don't have words for this masterpiece. 10/10
I should've watched this way sooner. Spider-Man is my favorite super hero. Always has been. This movie is amazing. It gave some of the same feelings the original cartoon gave me as a kid. The humor, art style & animation and the story are all awesome. Only negative for me is that I wanted to see more from Noir & Pig in this and a bit less of Gwen Stacey. I just like those characters more. But man, what a great movie. I'm ready for a part two!
Spectacular animation, hilarious jokes (with plenty of self-awareness), great voice acting, fantastic soundtrack, an inspiring message, amazing characters, this movie has it all! Not only is this the best Spider-Man film in years, but this is also one of the greatest animated films of all time. 10/10!
Alternate Spider-Men from various dimensions are brought together by a selfish scheme, confusedly interact, share a few puns, trade tips and race to beat the bad guy before their respective home worlds are annihilated.
Given the steamroll of positive word-of-mouth, I had concerns about this one living up to my expectations. Instead, it smashed them to pieces. It surprises, delights, amuses and entertains right from the opening gun. A sharp, witty script manages to nail the goofy essence of the character (seen through a kaleidoscope of different lenses) without feeling forced, hokey or dated. It's effortlessly hip and tuned-in, a tale that understands what's fresh and spotlights that without exploiting it. The plot remains light-hearted and smooth, but not without trials or consequences.
And I don't think I can say nearly enough about the dynamic, electrifying visuals. They're a shot of adrenaline, consistently vibrant and dazzling, a vivid showpiece that leaps straight from page to screen without sacrificing any of the clever little quirks and format-conscious tricks that always seemed so inseparable from the printed medium. Into the Spider-Verse is the first time a big comic book adaptation has really worn those funnybook roots as a badge of honor, something to be respected and embraced, rather than an embarrassing blemish. It understands what makes a good comic tick, values those singular traits and uses them to improve the entire production. I didn't realize how much I needed something like this.
The only bad thing about this movie is that it ends.
Beautiful.
Hoorah, a one-off Marvel super-hero story that does not mesh into other stories or heroes and is entirely stand alone. What a breath of fresh air. How do you make a Marvel super-hero story and particularly a popular hero, Spider Man, who has had so many incarnations (I think I might be up for the role soon) fresh? The makers of this movie, and there’s a roster’s worth of names, came up with an idea, whilst not original, certainly boosted the old tropes and made fun, in a loving way, of the whole Marvel Universe whilst creating an interesting and to point super-hero story.
What’s more we’re in a world of animation here and yet an old gimmer like me felt more connected to Miles, his parents and the jaded Peter B. Parker with his fat gut and pizza guzzling ways. How can animation hold my interest and make me genuinely laugh more than skilled on-screen actors and action?
The main protagonist Miles is the glue that holds the story together, more like a kid in a difficult situation than any host of live-action stories on the same tack. More believable, more fun, and more downright relatable. Aside from the animation and voice acting, it must be the writing, the feel for how a young lad might possibly react in these out-of-the-world and in-the-real-world situations.
The set up before the real story begins is engaging and enjoyable and drags you into Miles and his parents situation and once we get to the larger-than-life King Pin, voiced by Liev Shreiber believe it or not, and the funny but no irritating Peter Parker and the Peter B. Parker this show is on the road. Every character is well-fleshed and makes sense in their own ways without their own world and it was a blast from beginning to the very funny end.
The artwork and animation are superb and cleverly harks back to the comic-book origins and seamlessly mixes different styles to great effect.
Certainly, this movie came along at the right time for me, not a comic-book fan or particular big fan of Marvel, its strength was it dragged me in, and I enjoyed the characters and story. Maybe this alienated it from real fans of these films, but I cannot see it. If you like comic-books how could you not like this film? The voice acting is perfectly suited to each character, believable and fun, and not annoying as I can find these types.
So, there you go, a Marvel movie about a superhero, with fighting and explosions, that I enjoyed. I recommend Spider Man: Into Multi-Verse it is how comic-book films should be made.
It's an explosion of creativity and art. I've never seen something like this. If you pause the video you have the sensation of seen a comic book page. I would like to pause every scene to contemplate the artwork. They should print the movie in a comic book format. Awesome story, music and visuals.
My spider sense says that was a great film, well made animation, sweet style, a good message, a whole lot of amazing action, comedy and not forgetting a lot of fun. "With great power comes great responsibility" It deserved Its’ Oscar! XD
Not gonna lie...Got a lil choked up seein and hearin Stan Lee's character
Beautifully animated in true comic book style, this is one of the best Spider Man movies put on screen. Great to see the characters from the multiverse too, but they missed out on a few notable characters. Namely...
Spider Can - does what ever a spider can because he is...erm...Spider Can! Regularly opens himself up to Whoop Ass!
Spider Man With Van - available for weddings, removal services, and fly extinction.
Spider Tan - this superhero is hot hot hot!
Spider Fan - stalks his villains with eerie obsessiveness
Spider Lan - one for computer nerds only
Spider Dan - he's a spider and his name is Dan
Spider Gran - she may be old but she can knit you up a webby jumper in no time
Spider Pan - boils his enemies in 3 minutes
Spider Ban - that's it for the spider puns now
An original film - This is Spiderman like you've never seen before!
The comic elements are so intense and the animation so good that it's only fair that it has won the Best Animation Film Award in Oscars 2019.
it was a good cool movie. didn't understand what the hype was actually! but i do want a black Spider-Man of course. it gotta happen!!
A refreshing take on the spider-man story. It's really good honestly, you should watch it. And not just for kids, I think this film can be enjoyed at any age. You can definitely tell they've put lots of effort into the movie and the storyline. +1 for the awesome music and +1 for the amazing effects and original art style in the movie.
I really really loved this movie. First the animation was just amazing. The storyline was just brilliant and the character development was amazingly made. I could re-watch this movie a million times. It was really spectacular although I wasn't that hyped about it but I left the movie in love with it.
It this the perfect spider-man movie?Yes it is
Takes the Spiderman overkill over the past years and uses that to its advantage. And, not only that, it seems this great movie probably never would have come about without the overkill. Unexpectedly smart, emotional, humorous and creative.
Disappointing. I was looking forward to this movie for two reasons: a great voice cast and the whimsy of multiple Spider Man/characters from varying dimensions. But instead of building interesting characters (heroes and villians) I was presented with a number of long, chaotic action sequences robbed of dramatic (or comedic) tension by the lack of well articulated characters and interpersonal dynamics. There was also a production anomaly that was puzzling - there were times when the animation was blurry as if drawn for 3D (there was a 3D version, but that wasn't the one I was viewing), so, I hastily put on my 3D glasses, which I happened to have at hand, and it was still 2D, just blurry ... odd(?). I hoped for a better story and entertaining character interactions but I was disappointed. In retrospect, I may have been overly critical of this movie. More positively: I thought Shameik Moore's portrayal was relatable and I liked the whole vibe of Miles Morales's Spiderman from his unique powers to his artistic expressions to his final costume. I also know that most reviews are straight out raves, maybe I was having an uninspiring day. I give this film a 5 (meh) out of 10. [Marvel Animation]
[8.8/10] I’m currently watching my fifth consecutive Spider-Man animated series. From the 1990s cartoon that I grew up on, to the Ultimate Spider-Man series that ended in 2017, Marvel and its licensees gave us five versions of the web-head in different forms. Some kept Spidey in New York, others sent him off into space. Some made him an untested kid in high school, others made him an accomplished young adult in college. Some narrowed Spidey’s world to a focused ecosystem of characters and conflicts and others expanded to encompass the whole of the Marvel universe.
But all of them starred Peter Parker as Spider-Man. And in the process of repeat adaptation, they can’t help but prompt the question -- what makes Spider-Man who he is? What is the connective tissue that makes all of these adaptations of a piece and recognizable as stories about the same character? Is it just the suit, or the web-slinging, or the quips, or is it something deeper than that?
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse aims to answer that question with Miles Morales, the Afro-Latino teenager from Brooklyn who took over the Spider-Man mantle in the “Ultimate” line of Marvel comics. Miles shares some of Peter’s qualities -- he’s young, he’s bright, he’s uncertain. But he also has his unique elements: his two loving parents, his being torn between two sides of his family, and the different culture he is a part of and represents. He is familiar to anyone who’s followed the Spider-Man character for years and years in his endearing efforts to figure out both his normal life and his superheroic one, and his youthful awkwardness and uncertainty at it, but he’s also distinct from the raft of Peter Parkers who’ve graced both the big and small screen in the last two decades.
And most importantly, this is his story. Into the Spider-Verse uses its combo-breaking protagonist and its parallel universe-hopping plot to ask the broader question of what makes a Spider-Man (or -Gwen or -Ham). But it is first and foremost a story about a young man being pulled in two different directions by the father he loves and the uncle he admires, about resolving the differences between the place that can help lift him up and the place he came from, about figuring out not just who Spider-Man is, but who you are, when everything’s counting on you.
Strip away the spidey-sense and supervillains. Strip away the interuniversal mashup and the flash and fury. At heart, Into the Spider-Verse is a coming of age tale for arguably the most compelling young protagonist the superhero genre has offered in a long time. And while it is yet another cape flick origin story -- something the film itself pokes fun at -- it has the smarts to make it much less about how a budding hero gets his superpowers, and much more about how a teenage boy decides who he wants to be.
That’s aided by the style of the film, which works in concert with the substance. The term “comic book movie” is thrown around willy-nilly to describe any cape movie (including by yours truly) but this is the first one to truly earn the designation. The entire film exudes the bumpy texture and tropes of the medium to firmly cement the movie as emerging, fully-formed, from the comic pages. It’s a tack that’s particularly effective when Miles gains his spider powers, and the prominence of thought bubbles and whirly onomatopoeia take over to cement the fact that something serious has shifted here. Honestly, you could halt the movie at around the half hour mark and still have a tidy and encouraging tale about Miles discovering his abilities that would work as its own thing and leave you hungry for more.
But that would deprive us of the ensuing hour of superheroic flash and fun. Into the Spider-Verse is a joy to watch, with kinetic, color-bursting action that captures the ebb and flow of Spider-Man’s balletic grace through the skies better than any adaptation to date. The stylized approach to character design and animation gives the whole movie a distinctive flavor from the first glance to the final scene. And the way the movie blends art styles to help connote the ways in which this is a crossover between Spider Men and Women from across the multiverse is funny and fantastic.
The films boasts almost as many web-heads per capita as a Spidey-themed Where’s Waldo book, but it works in the movie’s favor. Whether it’s the black and white stylings of Spider-Man Noir, the anime-influenced presence of Peni Parker, or the Looney Tunes-aping insanity of Spider-Man, one look at the horde of Spider-people on screen tells you what’s afoot.
At the same time, the film sketches out its supporting characters with complete arcs. A spider-powered Gwen stacy has tentative but inevitable romantic chemistry with Miles, but is a capable and vital part of the action, and slowly overcomes her reluctance to build friendships after what happened in her home universe. At the same time, an older Peter Parker from another world joins the fray to give us the “after” of the traditional Spider-Man to Miles’s “before.” There’s real juice in seeing a potbellied, battle-weary, and cynical Spider-Man being forced to rediscover his ideals through the eyes of someone who looks up to him (or, at least, a version of him), and needs him as a mentor. And the way the film not only reconstructs one Spider-Man in the background while it’s building up another for the first time, while baking in a story of growing comfortable with having children, is nigh-masterful.
But in the end, apart from the eye-catching art and dimension-spanning guest stars, Into the Spider-Verse is about Miles, and that’s where it’s the most engrossing. The film constantly draws a contrast between the life Mile’s policeman father wants for him, and the rougher-edged existence his black sheep Uncle has cut out for himself, with the freedom and style that Miles envies while trapped in his midtown magnet school existence. It depicts Miles as inherently uncertain, before and after he has the ability to stick to walls. He is undeniably capable of great things, something his family members and reluctant mentors all agree on. But he doesn't know what shape that’s supposed to take, how to be what he’s expected to be or who he means to be.
Then, through heart-rending but heartening trial and tragedy, he finds out. Into the Spider-Verse signposts it a little too heavily for my tastes, but with the encouragement of his uncle, the acceptance of his father, Miles finds his own path, his own style, that’s the true-to-oneself harmonization of the best that’s been passed on to him, from man and Spider-Man alike. He has his father’s inherent goodness and sense of doing what’s right, with his uncle’s talent for improvisation and determination, and his own creative spark that drives him to put his own signature on each move and choice he makes. The best part of Into the Spider-Verse comes not only from when our hero truly becomes Spider-Man; it comes from when he fully and firmly becomes confident, caring, self-actualized Miles Morales he wants to be.
With that, Into the Spider-Verse answers its animating question. In a preemptive strike against those who would claim that someone who doesn't share Peter Parker’s name, or his skin color, cannot be Spider-Man, it posits that the things that made the character so indelible through fifty years of stories go beyond moniquers or melanin. Through Miles’s journey, and his other universe counterparts, it declares that being Spider-Man requires facing down tragedy and knowing the pain of loss but having it embolden you toward justice rather than driving you to madness and cruelty like it does for the film’s villains. It means learning to trust yourself and what you’re capable of even when that tentativeness and uncertainty hangs over you like a cloud that you just have to thwip or leap your way through.
And most of all, persevering, getting up when you’re knocked down, and deciding not to quit. Time again, Miles is pushed back, beaten down, and all-around inclined to just give up. It’s the quality that inspires the most doubt, in his father, in his wall-crawling colleagues, and in himself. But when he overcomes it, when he finds himself and learns to believe in his own potential, he also refuses to stay down.
That’s the central idea of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The film was preceded by five decades’ worth of Spider-Man adaptations in scores of different mediums, and it will almost certainly be followed by five decades’ more. What unites these varying takes on the character, what makes them true and right and real despite their differences, is that indefatigable quality each of them shares, despite setting or style or sobriquet. And Miles Morales gives shape to that lesson, straining and striving to become Spider-Man, and becoming himself in the process.
Stylistically, the closest any film has ever come to immersing the viewer into the pages of a comic book. The trailers don't do this flick justice; it definitely exceeded my expectations.
The story is neither new nor terrible and I really don't see why Spider-Pig couldn't have just been a walk-on joke...
But (and this is a giant, Kardashian but) the music was spot on and the animation is the best I've seen all year. If you wait to stream Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse on your tablet screen, you're going to be angry for having deprived yourself of some fine eye candy.
average film , only decent spiderman was sam raimi version
Mid-2000s animation with an early 90s filter. It's nothing like the comic artstyle except for some text boxes and panel references.
Lame jokes.
Radioactive spider randomly in the sewers as Miles' origin.
Peter's origin was that he was bit in the room they were experimenting on radioactive spiders. This origin was even in the movies. Why? Because it made more sense than a radioactive spider randomly in the sewers.
His first super power is that it makes him hit puberty and grow taller one day later. Stupid.
Shit death for Peter. He didn't even stop the machine, it was Goblin who dragged him into it. Stupid.
Unlikeable protagonist in Miles, who wins after 2 days being Spider-Man. Stupid.
Unlikeable stupid older Peter character.
Stupid spider-gwen introduction with nonsensical throw away time travel.
Annoying boring alternate versions of Spider-Man.
Music is nothing special.
It's a usual generic disney animated movie that is just above average.
8 reasons why everybody should watch this movie:
1) The animation
This is what animation was made for. Pushing it to the limit. The colours are vibrant, movements fluid and the visual storytelling stellar. You can't take your eyes off the screen. And honestly, you shouldn't. This does justice to the comic book adaptation name. Very raw, straight from the page.
2) Choreography and camera work
Nowadays many action movies don't care about choreography and just show characters punching each other in a dark smoke filled desolate area. Not this movie. The fight scenes are awesome, well staged and Spiderman's ability to swing is used to its full potential. Let me tell you, this movie is such a visual treat.
3) The story
We all know Spiderman's origin story by now. Bitten by a spider, yadda yadda yadda. But not this time. The writers are very well aware of the tropes yet respectful to the origin material and have created an adventure worth rewatching. Combining everything we know and all from all of the dimensions creates a very unique story.
4) Emotions
This is an emotional rollercoaster. You will laugh at the jokes geared toward both kids and adults, you will cry at the emotional moments, you will have chills watching this movie. Trust me.
5) Miles Morales
Miles Morales in the comics isn't quite the best character ever made. He has a hard time developing something unique about himself and it shows on the page, yet the writers of this movie have completely remade the character to be his own person. He finally got his unique personality, his unique origin story. You can finally enjoy his character whether you knew him before or not. But if you did you can also enjoy the subtle nod to his comic book self.
6) Character development
As the Pixar rule of storytelling goes: you admire a character for trying rather than succeeding. And our main characters try a lot. And fail a lot. But that's how life goes and we see our characters deal with real-life situations in a way that makes us root for them.
7) Representation
There are hundreds of stories about how Miles's character inspired children to feel like a superhero. Representation matters. Everybody can be a superhero. All you need is just...
8) A leap of faith
The chills.
Was a good a movie and worth watching but I think it's overrated by comic lovers under the influence of nostalgia
This is the best spiderman movie ever!
This movie is great. The voice acting is excellent, the plot is just fine, and the animation is out of this world. It's definitely this movie's biggest strength.
What hurt the movie the most was its "trendy" soundtrack, or rather, when it was being played. Whenever the movie tried to make us care about whatever was happening by playing some emotional "trendy" music, my mind'd go "Yeah, that seems forced."
All that said, Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse is the most unique super-hero movie I've ever seen and that's mostly thanks to its incredible stylized "comic-like" animation.
Fantastic. Brilliant story, animation, soundtrack. Just watch this film!
Well the biggest surprise of the year appears to be that the Sony Animation release where John Mulaney voices a talking pig is one of the best films of 2018!
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is an incredibly unique film showcasing fantastic animation that gives the film a look that will always be associated with this project. Introducing comic book elements into the film only to switch it up further by incorporating different animation techniques on top of each other later in the film.
As a comic book fan it is really cool to see underappreciated characters treated with such respect in a big film like this. Cage and Mulaney both do a fantastic job playing two of the more comic relief characters in the film while still managing to showcase what makes those characters interesting. This film follows the character of Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) a fan favourite but often overlooked character in the Spider-Man cannon. Despite most audiences not being familiar with the character the care and commitment to getting him right is commendable.
Really that’s what this film is all about, care and commitment. Sony Animations doing a Spider-Man film with bankable stars like Hailee Steinfeld and Jake Johnson was always guaranteed to make money but this film goes above and beyond to ensure that it offers a new experience.
I realise that the way I’m talking about this film makes it sound like an “important” film that is more art project than family fun but that could not be further from the truth. Into the Spider-Verse is hilarious. This film has a writing credit from Phil Lord one half of the team behind the Jump Street films and the Lego Movie and it shows. I can’t remember a single joke that didn’t land and much like with The Lego Movie even scenes that don’t feature as many jokes are still very engaging and entertaining.
In sort: See this movie! (and stay for the end credits!)
One of the best Spider-Man movies one of the best animated superhero movies this movie just blew me away. The animation is beautiful the charcaters are just so real the story is so heartfelt I mean I don't want to get into spoilers but this movie has it all and is just a beautiful film.
Watched on the day before Christmas Eve with the whole family, less the oldest. Youngest was hooked throughout, though some of the scenes were a little too scary for her. Loved seeing her perched on the end of the theater seat recliner, bouncing to the action.
Such a good movie, loved Miles Morales. I really liked how they wove all the different "spider-heroes" into the story... Each with their own grief. Loved the contrast between graffiti artist genius hero and anti-vigilante father cop.
And this must be Nic Cage's best year in a LONG while.
Absolutely breath taking. I just about went from joy in the theater. Literally the best Spider-Man movie yet. Words cannot describe the joy I felt during this movie.
A great origin movie that is super bold for focusing on Miles Morales instead of Peter Parker. The animation is a beautiful, the way the plot develops is exciting, my only problem is the villain, he's mediocre in all aspects but at least all the other characters leave me satisfied.
Alot of heart and snow crazy animations and at design that made this a fun one to watch.
Wasn't too sure on what to expect when I watched this as I usually stray from animated superhero movies but my god this was amazing!! I was hooked from start to finish, I literally couldn't keep my eyes off it! Miles was great and I adored Gwen Stacy. I highly recommend everyone to watch this especially if you're looking for something to keep you hooked. 10/10
Spectacular. Stunning. Surreal. Shocking. Spiderman.
By far the best spiderman movie ever. In all live and animation. Funny, entertaining great one-liners. Amazing after credit scene, so deserved!
Really this is a must see even if you do not like animations any more like me, i used to watch all PIXAR and DISNEY but over the past years i do not feel the need to but this is a masterpiece in that sector. A multiverse done right and deserves all the praise.
Watch - if u haven't
Just an unbelievable achievement for cinema. Glorious all round. People are saying the sequel is just as good and I'm admittedly skeptical about that but excited nevertheless.
a love letter to spiderman and comics
Watched for the first time since watching "Across" and noticed that spider 42 "glitched." Nice little detail foreshadowing a major plot point in the sequel. Gonna have to keep my eyes open for more.
Into the Spider-Verse does have some amazing animation but the out-of-focus effects were distracting. I also felt, aside from Uncle Aaron, that the villains were weak. I did appreciate the humor, the other spider heroes, and the comic book text.
Innovative, that's a perfect word to describe it. They have set the bar so high with the new found style of animation which is honestly really really good. This is as close as we can get to comics in motion. Such a beautiful journey this was.
The storytelling is really good, awesome origin story for Miles, really fun, the arc evolves super well.
The reason it is not a 10 for me, and maybe that's because of the new one, is that it feels like it slows down too much on some parts, which makes it feel like the pacing is a bit off place. Still awesome, already watched multiple times and would still watch many more times.
Excellent entertainment, clever direction, references and humor, but fairly conventional emotions and storyline.
The energy of the film is very youthful and sometimes lacks a bit of restraint, especially in the action scenes which are sometimes a bit psychedelic and suddenly lose clarity.
Nevertheless it is clearly an audacious animated film well above average, we feel that there is passion behind it.
It's a solid 7,5/10 but not an 8 for me.
10/10
All Gold

along with a spinoff Gwen Stacy movie
that Sony have in mind.
Sony/Marvel
Have made me care again
After Sony broke 1 universe
but finally joined a
Much Much Larger One.
(A Multiverse
if you will).
Mind blowing VFXs, a storytelling from another dimension and great jokes. Impossible not to relate with one of the spideys.
Nothing against the revamped graphics, but let's face it, it's the same old stuff they've been feeding us for generations. Despite the commendable creative and productive effort into replicating the distinctive style of comic books through a unique amalgamation of techniques, the film is continuously brought down by the lazy writing tropes of average superhero flicks and antiquated coming-of-age drama narratives. The humor, for the most part, falls flat, while the character relationships barely scratch the surface. Overall, it’s a passable film, especially for a younger audience. Perfect for those who want to see their beloved heroes faithfully transposed on screen for the umpteenth time and point at every easter egg.
Heartfelt, quality production with a decent enough script and story that allow the characters to grow without undercutting all the emotion with comedy like MCU. Neat style and character relationships, but pretty forgettable otherwise.
8.5/10 ; very enjoyable but I would have liked to see more of the backstory of the other spider-men/women
I agree with those who say how good it is and that it is one of the best spider-man movies.
Until I saw "Into the Spider-Verse" for the first time, I thought that mainstream Hollywood animated films just weren't my thing. Even though I definitely like some Pixar or Disney films, they all have a certain sameness to them. "Into the Spider-Verse" blew me away in that regard, proving that animated films don't all have to look the same. The film is literally bursting with creativity; numerous animation styles are perfectly combined.
At the same time, the story is also great, and the MCU can take a lesson from the way it deals with the multiverse. Voice cast and characters are also a standout; every role is perfectly cast, whether you are referring to the trio of Shameik Moore, Jake Johnson, and Hailee Steinfeld or supporting characters like Spider-Man Noir (Nicolas Cage) or Prowler (Mahershala Ali). And then there's the strong soundtrack, more than one or two tracks of which ended up in my playlist. They also fit really well with the main character, Miles Morales, who can easily keep up with Peter Parker as Spider-Man.
All in all, I think the first Spider-Verse movie is almost perfect. It's also, without question (before "Across the Spider-Verse"), my favorite Spider-Man movie. The Oscar was well deserved.
I had to get a rewatch in before I saw the new one tonight! Yes, it’s still incredible. It’s everything Spider-Man is and should be. The live action films are great, this is better. I can understand the appeal to live action to people in a general sense, but this is one of the film that transcends typical live action vs animated tropes. The visual style, soundtrack, action, it all works together to create my favorite movie of 2018.
Rating: 5/5 (:star:) - 10/10 - Must See
Still one of the hardest soundtracks ever...
Only spiderman movie I have ever cared for. I enjoyed everything about this - especially the awesome soundtrack. It has so many of my favorite songs.
The animation style is awesome. Others have tried to imitate this - it's highly stylized, so if you don't like it, fine. It's an artistic choice, and I think it's a great one.
The story was one I also personally enjoyed, and I have to admit made me emotionally invested - even cry. But hey... I'm like that.
I can't wait for the next ones!
This the new best Spider-Man movie
You'll hear me complaining non-stop on how I dislike when big studios roll all their IP into one thing, and yet see all the versions of spiderman working together was lovely.
It was entertaining and moving, totally worth watching, totally worth making time and attention for it.
An amazing animated movie about one of the most beloved superheroes in it. The animation is gorgeous and the multiple Spider-Men in this movie all feel distinct and different from each other.
It was so good actually like really great film. art is so amazing
A revolutionary piece of filmmaking.
I did not even expect a graphic novel movie. Yep. That's right. I know nothing about the Marvel universe. Guilty as charged. But, this turns out to be a very exciting movie. I like the story, the style and the score. Most traces of Spiderman's philosophical core (great power vs. great responsibility) are gone but like Spiderman the movie doesn't take itself too serious without being totally infantile. Is it made for kids? Yes, kinda but graphics style is mature enough, so that adults can enjoy virtually all scenes. It's maybe twenty minutes too long though.
top tier animation cool stories nice rythme just some soundtrack that didn't click with me
a literal masterpiece. genius. the more spiderpeople the better.
YES YES YES is it’s a comic book come to life if you haven’t watched it yet stop right now and go watch it they will be some of the best 2 hours you have all year
Although I don't like the character of Miles Morales as a Spider-Man but this movie is pure genius. As a comic book fan, I was very pleased to see many universes together (multi verse) at the same time. The first MCU movie I've enjoyed in a long time. I'm angry at myself for watching this great movie so late, and at Marvel for making the universe so disgraceful and monotonous.
A new, interesting approach not only from the story's side, but also from the way of creating the animation. A great combination of modern animation with comic book inclusions.
Thoroughly entertaining film, uniquely presented, with stunning visuals.
Though the film is fun with a lot of heart, I wouldn’t call it the best Spider-Man film at all. Which gets thrown around a lot. King Pin is too damn big and there’s not enough of the Green Goblin.
I also always honestly have to remind myself the movie exists. So it didn’t leave the huge impression on me that it did on everyone else. Despite it being quite clever and entertaining.
I actually found the multiverse story more memorable in the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series.
Amazing all around. Quirky animation style, effortless humor, epic score and perfect screenplay to mention just a glimpse of its brilliance. The amount of synergy between characters, animation styles, score and dialogue is out of the world. Hands down one of the best animation movies ever made.
One of my favorite movies of all time. So good, from the animation, soundtrack, characters, and story. So so so good. Watch it now.
Good for what it is - but it's still just an animated movie.
7.25/10
Quite possibly my favourite animated film of all time, which is a lot down to the animation itself. I'm not breaking new ground by saying this, but it looks absolutely beautiful - espically the climax. Stunning stuff. Everyone who worked on this aspect deserves as much credit as possible. But a good film is notjing without a good story, and thankfully this film has that too. Miles Morales is an instantly likeable protagnist and he is backed up by a quirky, colourful and memorable supporting cast that ranges from a older, downbeat, depressed Peter Parker to a literal Spider-Pig. Also incredibly funny - laugh-out loud momments for all ages, guranteed. It even gets suprisingly meta at times! Also a film with heart, as while the film features many, many sub-plots, it always keeps the focus on Miles and his struggles to become Spider Man. Also the soundtrack's pretty catchy. Perfect family film.
probably my favourite animated movie i've ever seen; i know nothing about spiderman in the comics, but this was still so enjoyable to watch! not to mention it is also incredibly animated, and the scripting and voice actors are great.
I can see why this is highly regarded, especially if you have a connection as a comic reader. Alas, I do not, but I still had a good time watching this.
It was cool seeing every department of the story come together, while the animation is definitely one of its big plus points - I enjoyed seeing it. The voice cast all do respectable jobs too. I have no issues with this film, to be honest. I just guess there isn't anything I love about it either.
Shameik Moore is good in the lead, while Jake Johnson supports competently in his role. Hailee Steinfeld, Nicolas Cage and Kathryn Hahn, as well as a few others, stick out too. Away from the already mentioned, I also like the music - having already known about "Sunflower".
Evidently it didn't connect to me, someone who has zero attachment to the source material, massively. That doesn't, though, change the fact that I did find enjoyment with 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' and I would certainly recommend it.
This was unexpectedly great! Loved the comedy scriptwriting and the animation’s creative and mad gorgeous.
The art was great in this and the story line was good.
Might be worth re-watching someday but probably not more than once.
Okay, I don't think I've ever seen anything like Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse film. It's just such a refreshingly unique animated movie, and I absolutely adore it.
This is a prime example of why I say Chris Lord and Phil Miller are two of the greatest directors right now. They inject their films with such flair, and take these iconic IPs that others would just slap the name on and call it a day, and do something wholly original.
It's not just about making a franchise movie for them, it's about making a statement.
And God, does this film make such a bold statement. It's such a beautiful, beautiful piece of art. The way they have taken such care and dedication to replicate the feel of a comic book, from the page turns to the comic book panels and the text boxes is just mind-blowing. Their direction makes it feel exactly like watching a living and breathing comic-book.
And the animation is utterly stunning. The colours are so bright and punchy, and I love how they have gone for a sort of stop motion 2D feel with it. It's still CGI animated, but it has that feel of 2D animation down to a tea.
Oh, and the story is just so good too. Miles Morales is immensely likeable from the very beginning; he is exactly what Spider-Man should be. An everyday teen who is caught between his personal problems and his superhero life. Kingpin's motivation for starting the collider, an attempt to bring in alternate versions of his loved ones who passed away, works so well and means you are really able to understand where he is coming from, even if he is deranged and going about it the wrong way. And the whole thematic hook throughout of 'the leap of faith' is just perfect; the pay-off is executed flawlessly in a stunning piece of animation, and comes in a place where it feels totally earned.
The humour is on-point (I loved the recurring puberty and Rubik's cube gags in particular), and the female Doctor Octopus was a genius spin on Otto Octavius.
I don't think I could praise this film enough. They just got it so right, and I can't wait to see how Spider-Man 2099 factors into the sequel.

Who knew a cartoon could kick butt like this?!! WAM-KAPOOOOOW! A spectacular adventure filled with cool and funny moments. Seen at a UCLA advance screening.
