Review of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) by Jeffrey S — 18 Dec 2018
Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.
A little slow to start but once rolling. It had a lot of heart and consistently funny comedy.
That said I can't help but feel it had trouble deciding if it wanted to be a Miles Morales origins story or a Spider-Man alt dimensions ensemble piece. So it tried to split the difference, but it would have been stronger going on direction or the other.
Doesn't help that I found 40 year old Peter Parker to be more interesting than Miles.
But that said I really did enjoy the animation and the comic references peppered throughout. Also squeezing in my favorite Spider-Man offshoot Spider-Man Noir with Nicholas Cage worked surprisingly well. Wish he had more screentime though.
Also the after credits Easter egg is worth the price of admission.
