Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

A flick packed with ideas in which one Spidey has a tight-fitting sweatpants cover his belly and the second is a complete pig for a change. When it comes to Spiderman’s adventures, the plot with parallel universes is nothing out of the ordinary, but the production is a whole category higher. In addition to planting a wealth of hidden references in the movie, Lord and Miller followed their comic-fan hearts and instinct for doling out emotions and action scenes. The animation is somewhere between digital and hand-drawn and, for the first time in a long time, I felt sorry for not watching it in 3D because it’s clear that the picture is unbelievably lively and ideal for that technology. I was expecting an easy-going kids’ movie and got the surprise of the year. (12/16/2018)

An affectionate explosion of ideas obviously loving not just Spider-Man, but comics in general. The animation is very original, the stylization is often insane, but at the same time insanely impressive, and when you think nothing crazier can happen, it does. But what's most important from my point of view is that it's not just a comedy that’s off the rails. The film is just as powerful, if not stronger, in the quiet personal scenes in which emotions come to the forefront. It is, in short, an entertaining and truly great spectacle with a poignant dedication to creators Lee and Ditko. And I prefer not to know how many details I missed the first time. (12/20/2018)

Since the days the Wachowski siblings’ Speed Racer, this is the first film that conceptually works with colours and that captures every scene with its formal and stylistic creativity, as well as with its spellbinding kinetic nature. In addition to that, it is an incredible revelation in the field of animation that has no genealogical predecessor among feature films. The roots of this unique picture – and thus of its individual techniques – rather lie in video games and online videos. Despite that, however, we still cannot find any other single film that would bring them together in the same way. (01/15/2019)

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. (12/15/2018)

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. (12/11/2018)
