Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

If I was a fan of comics, this would be the film of my life. As a film lover, I admired that extravagant and inventive barrage of plays with style, split screens, intensive editing and frantic action (not to mention the bombastic music), but by the end I was saturated and after the interdimensional encounter, I only watched that whirlwind of audiovisual perfection chasing the mandatory conclusion. A ground-breaking and impressive piece of work, no doubt, live action Spidey can never get close to this. 85% (27/02/2019)

Comic book movies have, on the whole, felt like poor relations so far. And unfortunately, this was often the case with the best of the live-action and animated adaptations. Because they often didn't come close to the possibilities of comic book stories and their courage and creativity. Yet this time, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse also reminded movie-goers of the possibilities of comic book narrative, which is excellent. And I'm not even talking about creativity in the animation. (27/10/2019)

I was skeptical about this film and I was most worried about the formal aspect, which is not exactly dazzling, but in the end I had an unexpectedly pleasant time and the visuals didn't bother me that much (except for Kingpin, who looked terrible). It's got pace, a nice soundtrack, occasionally the humour works and there's a twist. I was a bit annoyed by the Japanese girl and the pig, they seemed a bit over the line, but it was bearable. I was expecting 2*, in the end a decent 4*. 75% (09/03/2019)

Comic-book movies are obsolete, unimaginative, completely the same, resting on its laurels, although often still, fortunately, they are entertaining enough. They seem to be becoming idle, where everybody in the industry is afraid to change anything, and everyone is doing almost exactly the same thing. And suddenly, surprisingly that a comic book with a big (not only) K, which shows where the genre would go, comes from Sony company (although thanks to the local energy it is more likely to arrive) with a playfulness, imaginativeness, originality and comic essence. However, even if it finds followers, it will hardly be overcome. However, he undoubtedly has shortcoming. Above all, it tries to be very emotional, but it doesn't always succeed. The bigger snag is that he's trying to catch all the spider hares in the world. As a result, both the negatives and most of the parallel Spideys are reprehensibly unused or outright in number, and the whole thing is a bit overpaid (but this is true of everything under the auspices of the Lord / Miller duo). Even so, it is clearly the best superhero comic book since the Big Six. (16/12/2018)

Miles Morales was an ordinary student and teenager before he was bitten by a radioactive spider. Now he must learn to control his powers and become a hero before a strange experiment destroys all of New York. Fortunately, he will get the help of spider heroes from other dimensions... and it's great. The animated Spidey is an aggressive, brisk and modern ride that is great to watch thanks to brilliant comic book styling, has excellent action and works in both humour and drama. Plus, it cleverly uses the fact that in animated form, you can come up with crazy things that wouldn't work in live-action. One of the best comic book films of recent years, and quite possibly the best Spider-Man ever. (11/12/2018)
