Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse is the newest Spider-Man movie this one however is animated and produced by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and concerns Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) who like Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider and becomes a new Spider-Man but when the Kingpin (Liev Schriber) instigates a science experiment that goes wrong other Spider-Men show up and now the race is on to stop Kingpin and get them all home.
Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse was okay for me but also felt like a typical Spider-Man story but before I delve into those I want to talk about what I do like and firstly the animation style is very good combining digital animation, a comic strip drawing style, a hip hop style that nicely reflects Miles and his world and even some hand drawn style and it makes for a very trippy experience that at times is hard to keep up with but would be an absolute treat in 3D in fact I nearly went to a 3D session last night but decided not to as it would’ve finished late.
And also the voice cast are pretty good, its nice to see Nicolas Cage give a shit for once and not just phone it in for a paycheck in a B grade film, Spider-Ham is a real delight especially if you’ve seen the Simpsons Movie and Hailee Stenfeld is great fun as Spider-Gwen but sadly Lake Bell is wasted as Amanda Fisk as she barely has any lines and as someone who loved her as Chloe the Cat in Secret Life of Pets I was particularly disappointed.
There are also some very fun cameos which I will not give away.
Sadly the storytelling here just felt like a typical Spider-Man story where a loved one dies, Spider-Man throws some quips with his web, there’s a scientific angle to it all, there’s family matters and I personally have seen this all webbed up in all of the other Spider-Man movies and like those ones it was okay but kind of the same after a while and after seeing the character play around with the Avengers in Infinity War earlier this year and also having great fun with the Playstation 4 game a couple of months back I got a bit bored of it all after a while.
And so that was my thoughts on Spiderman into the Spiderverse and its okay it has some great animation and some cool voice acting but I wasn’t as fond of its story, 2 and a half out of 5.
