Everyone knows about Peter Parker's story and how he became the web-slinging hero that we know and love: Spider-Man. His story has been told many times. In film, we have seen 3 different actors (Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland) play the character, over the course of 17 years.
Now, a new Spider-Man rises with a similar yet new story to tell. "Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse" tells the tale of Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore), a struggling Afro-Latino teenager who, after being granted powers by the bite of a radioactive spider, discovers a particle accelerator, which opens a gateway to different dimensions, that brings a group of new alternate Spider-heroes into the real world. Morales teams with Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson), Spider-Ham (John Mulaney), Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld), Spider-Man Noir (Nicolas Cage), and Peni Parker (Kimiko Glenn) to stop the villainous Kingpin (Liev Schreiber), who plans on destroying the entire multiverse.
"Into the Spiderverse" is without a doubt one of the best, if not the best, superhero film ever made. The animation (a blend of CG and 2-D hand-drawn animation) is gorgeous to behold and every frame and every shot looks like it was directly ripped out of a comic book. (Fun fact: it took animators at Sony an estimated week to animate one single frame in the movie...wow!) The characters are very memorable and unique and each one contributes to the story; Spider-Noir in particular, is my favorite, as Nicolas Cage hams it up as a wisecracking detective version of the hero. But the real star is Morales, a character who greatly evolves throughout the film, and whose defining moment in understanding his destiny as a hero in the climax provides one of the greatest film sequences that I have ever seen. You'll know what I mean. There is lots of self-aware, meta humor, plenty of heart and emotional moments, and great comic-book action that will be sure to please any Marvel fan or filmgoer. "Spiderverse" won the Best Animated Film award at the 2018 Oscars, and it rightly deserved it. It is a thrilling, marvelous and impressive movie that I will not soon forget, and I would highly recommend it!
"Anyone can wear the mask; you can wear the mask," our hero Miles Morales states during the final scene in the film. What an inspiring message for the people of the world today. We can all be heroes. All we have to do is stand up.
Rating: 5/5
