I know it is already late to talk about the film but seeing this film win the best animated feature film in Oscar this year I want to talk about Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse. At first, I thought this is just an animated movie cash grab by Sony just like the “Emoji” but after I see the first trailer… Oh boy I could not be more wrong. In my opinion, this film is one of the best superhero movie ever. I can even say that I enjoy watching this film more than Avengers: Infinity War to be honest.
Oscar
Lord and Miller were producers on Spider-Verse but it was directed by the trio of Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman. All five shared the Oscars honor. The film overcame a challenging field of competitors in the category: Pixar’s long-awaited The Incredibles 2, Disney’s crowd-pleasing Ralph Breaks the Internet Studio Chizu’s evocative Mirai and Wes Anderson’s eccentric canine epic Isle of Dogs.
Story
.
In the film we first meet not our usual Spider-Man Peter Parker, but Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore). We know the stories already considering there is 6 Spider-Man movie already with 2 reboot re-telling the origin stories, and the movie knows that we know it already. They make the origin stories about Spider-People you know the teenager, mutant spider, bite, great powers comes with great responsibilities and stuff fresh. Even though they repeat the stories at least 4 times by making it some kind of a joke. Elsewhere, the rectangular-shaped Kingpin (voiced by Liev Schreiber) and his sinister lead scientist (voiced by Kathryn Hahn) dabble with volatile technology that tears open a rift in the multi-verse through which the timeline start to interweave.
A Spider-Man who have midlife crisis Peter B. Parker (voiced by Jake Johnson) first crosses Morales’ path, then they met with the beautiful Spider-Woman, Spider-Gwen (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld). they’re then joined by the hard-boiled spider-man Noir (voiced by Nicolas Cage, which makes this movie 10 times better and proof that God has not left us ), the Looney Tunes Spider-Man, Spider-Ham (voiced by John Mulaney), and the anime girl Peni Parker with her mecha robot arachno-droid SP//dr(voiced by Kimiko Glenn). Only by uniting their powers can they stand a chance against Kingpin and his gang of supervillains.
This film is like a comic book come to live from the page itself. every character has their own distinct character that can make you differentiate each character despite they are all the same Spider-Man. Even their animation have their own distinct feature that reflects their own universe. From black and white Spider-Man Noir to a cartoony like loony toons Spider-Ham and don’t forget the colorful anime from Peni parker. This movie is a team up story yet still deliver a perfect origin story. While all other Spider-People is quirky and fun to watch, Miles is still the spotlight of this movie. If you haven’t seen the film the Blu-ray will be out on March 19 so check it out.
