Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
Directors: Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman
Writers: Phil Lord and Rodney Rothman, from a story by Phil Lord
Stars: Shameik Moore, Liev Schreiber, Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, John Mulaney, Kimiko Glenn, Nicolas Cage, Chris Pine
Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) gets his powers and suits up as the new Spider-Man after witnessing the death of the original (Chris Pine) at the hands of the Kingpin (Liev Schreiber).
Due to some interdimensional shenanigans, a whole clutter (that’s the term for a group of spiders) of other Spider-characters (Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, John Mulaney, Kimiko Glenn, and Nicolas Cage) come along to help out.
At last, we seem to have a movie that even the MCU-haters can get behind.
Due to eye-popping, innovative animation techniques, too much great voice talent to mention here, and a script that has both heart and laughs, it’s easy to see why this movie has won so many people over.
It’s the first good Spider-Man movie that Sony has put out since Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2.
They should keep leasing the live-action character out to Marvel Studios and focus on their own animated Spider-Verse.
That could introduce enough diversity to the property to help avoid franchise fatigue.
We'll see.
I’m still expecting some Sony Spider-disasters in the future, but this gives me hope.
