My review of Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse

My review of Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse 

 

Intro: Were finally introduced to Miles Morales as Spider-man, However people are not hyped to see this movie like they were when Black Panther came out huh. 

Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse: This movie is centered on a boy name Miles Morales who's living an ordinary life. That change when he discovers that he has superpowers from a spider bite. After realizing this he bumps into Spider-man while he tries to stop The Kingpin from using a machine that can destroy New York City. So Miles aides Spider-man to stop him with the help of other people with his abilities. 

Sony has redeemed itself with this movie! ( By redeem I mean how Sony handled Spider-man, not as a company.) Marvel Studios need to take notes because this film is a comedy, the movie knows when to be funny and when to be serious. When were introduced to new characters the movie tells us what we need to know about them. This movie feels like a love letter to everything Spider-man-related. It pokes fun at itself and the mistakes Sony has made with the past Spider-man films. I'm impressed with the animation (Even though I've seen it before in video games.), it blends 3D, 2D and comic book panels. 

Miles Morales is a typical teen as far as learning how to talk to girls and being torn between what he wants to do with his life and the exception of his family. My issue with him is when he learns something about a family member he should have mixed emotions about it but he doesn't.  

If you're not fond of how Luke Skywalker was portrayed in The Last Jedi, You'll not be happy with how Peter Parker/Spider-man is portrayed in this movie. Don't worry whatever The Last Jedi tried to do with Luke is done better here.  

Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen is kind-hearted and sarcastic. The plot hole with this character bugs me. 

I don't have much to say about the rest of the Spider-people they feel like comic relief for the most part. 

Aunt May reminds me of Madame Web. 

Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin is a merciless crime lord. My beef with this character besides how he looks in this movie is that I couldn't sympathize with him. I mean the movie wants me to feel sorry for him but I couldn't. 

One of the many problems I have with this movie is that this could have the theme of letting go of the past and moving on however the movie doesn't take advantage of that idea. When characters see someone that they knew they don't have a strong reaction from that for the most part. Some of the visuals are a little bit blurry. The movie makes cliche jokes about Miles having a hard time controlling his powers, I wouldn't mind this if the writers did that with all of his powers instead of one of them. Also, I wish Miles would learn how to control his powers on his own, sorry I can't elaborate on that without coming off as a conspiracy theory. Miles's backstory could have been told better.     

I can't say that this is the best Spider-man movie because this movie has some similarities to Spider-man 2. However this movie breathes new life into the Spider-man franchise, I would recommend this movie to Spider-man fans. 

Rating = Worth Seeing
