Movie Review: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 12-28-18
Peter Parker (Jake Johnson) always thought he was the only Spider-Man, but when he gets sucked into a vortex, he ends up in an alternate dimension in which a different Peter Parker dies at the age of 26 during an intense fight with the Green Goblin. Peter meets a teenage Afro-Latino trainee Miles Morales (Shamiek Moore), and when more portals open up, they encounter Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld), Spider-Man Noir (Nicolas Cage), the anime-influenced Peni Parker (Kimiko Glenn) and her robot boyfriend, and Peter Porker/Spider-Ham (John Mulaney). Together, they have to stop the broad-shouldered Kingpin (Liev Schreiber) from building a device that will destroy all the Spider-Men/Women's worlds.
Has it finally happened? Did Sony Pictures Animation, a Razzi-winning studio that has never met the quota of Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, or even Blue Sky, finally make a good movie besides Surf's Up? One that actually might be better than both Disney's and Pixar's features for the year? It shocks me, but yes. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is probably the best animated film of the year with a paper-thick story, likable characters, and a visually appealing 2.5D animation style that has only been experimented with Disney (on the short films Paperman and Feast).

I have never read any of the Spider-Man comics, and I only saw one movie, but I had enough general knowledge on Spider-Man to know what to expect.
I honestly have nothing negative to say about this movie, and this is coming from the same company as The Emoji Movie! In conclusion, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a film that ranks among the best that 2018 had to offer for animated movies, ranking among Incredibles 2, Ralph Breaks the Internet, and even though I haven't seen it yet, Isle of Dogs.
However, I have a warning for those who want to see the film in theaters: While 'Spider-Verse' is rated PG, the film is aimed at a teen demographic, so there will be some violence, swear words, character deaths, and strong thematic elements.
Rating: 4 stars out of 5.
