Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

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)

A total rush. I needed to put my brain into standby mode. Instead, I let myself wallow for two hours in an absolutely uncompromising barrage of flashy visuals, at the heart of which flows an unspectacular story that showers nerd hearts with references, jokes, and winks, while never leaving the clueless non-comics reader behind. It stuffs into it a tangle of full-bodied and likable characters who can come for the pompous personal outputs and cut the cobwebs into the viewer's heart, which, in this case, was beating at about a hundred and fifty percent. That is because this is sheer filmmaking exhibitionism, into which someone has put an awful lot of money and even more creative freedom. Yet the result, although it overflows the usual rules and genre norms must satisfy, in the end, even the most conformist viewer, who in the end will find that Sony has bluntly swept away a decade of the Marvel Universe in 111 minutes.

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)

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)

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% (02/27/2019)
