| 12.18.2018 – Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a revelation that feature-length animated films can still be relevant in this action-filled superhero genre.
It was one of the most anticipated animated films for 20218 that definitely delivered beyond everyone’s expectation. This Spidey film did not have Peter Parker as the lead but introduces Miles Morales. |
The origin of a different Spider-Man that most unfamiliar with the character in this film at the same time introducing other versions of Spider-Man across the multi-verse that Sony has found to exploit in the future spinoffs now that this world of Spider-Men, Women, & Pig, of course.
Spider-Verse is not a direct adaptation from the comic book mini-series but inspires some element in the film that focuses on Miles Morales. The animated film breaks the usual traditional animation incorporating elements from comic books that had a cool visual concept that is clearly a fresh look that made this film a definite favorite.
There has been tremendous praise for this Spider-Man film not only with the groundbreaking visuals but with a narrative with a good balance of action and what makes Miles Morales an interesting character. It’s like watching a comic book page come to life that strikes a chord with those who have been a fan of these characters. The animation itself gives you a bold perspective that combines conventional comic book elements into traditional animation.
A Hero for the Next Generation
Miles Morales, for those who haven’t heard of this character first, made his comic book debut in Ultimate Fallout #4 following the death of Spider-Man in that universe. In the film Into the Spider-Verse, you get to see him as this student who also gets his powers like Peter Parker. It’s a refreshing look at the character to be introduced to the younger audience who’ll see this film.
The comic book version, of course, is entirely different and so much has changed with Miles there. But you don’t need to delve into the collected graphic novels to find out about this character seeing Miles here with his origin is enough to give you enough emotions to cheer for this kid.
Music that define Spider-Verse
The soundtrack is chock full of impressive tunes that includes Post Malone and Swa Lee’s “Sunflower” that will become your LSS (Last Song Syndrome) after seeing this film. The collection of songs alone makes the film refreshingly look good that defines the entirety of the film. But with each score and song defines each character that you’d want to watch this again.
Every element that makes up this grandiose adventure hits the right notes. You can’t stop getting hyped for someone who is not a fan of these characters. This is a rarity nowadays to appreciate a superhero film that has the best ensemble soundtrack that you want to pick up.
Amazeballs Spidah-Man
Although I was expecting the Japanese Spider-Man from the 1970s to make an appearance like he did in the Spider-Verse comic book it’s not a disappointment when you see the other Spider-Men, women, and the much adored Spider-Ham making the appearance. The ensemble voice cast that had Nicolas Cage as Spider-Noir was invigorating to see. It was definitely a treat for anyone to be entertained with such memorable characters and who would want to see a sequel or a spin-off about it?
Overall Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse can make anyone become a Spider-Fan and it’s for the whole family and pets too including that memorable pig that almost stole the scenes in this movie. It gives you a new sandbox to play with seeing Spider-Verse come to life in this form. You can’t stop raving about how insanely spectacular this has proven to be one of the best to close out 2018.
“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” is entertainingly spectacular with Miles Morales and the rest of the memorable character that inhabited this part of the multiverse.
