Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: This movie came out in 2018 but I wasn't on board for whatever reason. I finally saw it this last month with the grandsons. I'm very glad I did. They did an excellent job with this movie and I really enjoyed it. Miles Morales is bitten by a radio active spider and guess who is the next Spider-Man? But this isn't the Spider-Man story we've seen before. Before Miles even knows what is happening the "Spider-Man/Woman/Pig/Robot" from different dimensions show up to help battle Kingpin and save the universe. Just a really good story and the animation is done well too.
I was really impressed with the story and the characters. So well done. You're just into it. The characters from the other dimensions are key and fun additions. I know you are seeing Peter-Porker and saying "yeah I don't know" but it works. These different dimensions are just that - different. Whether it be how the Spider-Man story plays out or what the universe is as a whole. I also have to say I really like these versions of the bad guys - Kingpin and Doc Ock. Doc Ock is a female version I love. Her and Gwen Stacy were my favorite characters. I know I sound like I'm gushing but I really enjoyed this movie and highly recommend it.
The different animation styles often threw me off, but the story was very well done and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Nicolas Cage as Spider-Noir was a brilliant casting choice.
ReplyDeleteThe animation style really is a big reason I stayed away from this movie for so long. In the end the story and the storytelling through the animation won me over. Nicolas Cage was great casting. When I figured out who it was I thought perfect. Good call. Plenty of good voice casting in this one.
