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.
