THIS MOTION PICTURE IS OFFICIALLY AN AFFILIATE OF THE FILMMAKING PARAGONS.
Who would have thought one of 2018's best pictures would be an animation, and that too it being about Spider-Man?!
Simply put, no motion pictures out there, as of 2018 end, has ever had a visual style like this before! The amount of energy unleashed by the film's editing and visual grace is tantamount to nothing we've experienced thus far! The vintage print comic book pages-like camera shots, time-lapse effect, abstract dots, hatching / crisscrossed lines, motion blurring, onomatopoeia, dialogue bubbles, hand-drawn caricatures, motion smearing and comic panels are fighting simultaneously to see who wins your attention! Not to mention the eye-popping colors and the crunchy mixed frame rate for characters' movements! Each Spider-Man character has a different form of animation and sometimes, the film looks like live-action! Now we know why it took the project a crew of 177 animators to bring alive 1 second of footage!
Apart from the making, the team of 5 writers made sure audiences would get the best Spider-Man movie ever. And that's exactly what happened after 2002's Spider-Man. With Peter Parker (voiced by Chris Pine) killed in the beginning, audiences are left clueless as to where the plot may go beyond this. As the alternate universes collide and you're introduced to each and every Spider-Man alter ego, it's a laugh and action riot from then on! The screenwriters gave each character a distinguished personality, built them properly, allowed us to understand their motivations and finished off their subplots with fantastic resolutions! This is true even for the primary antagonist Kingpin (voiced by Leiv Schreiber)! Revelations are strong, conflicts are solid, consequences are real and all in all, it's emotionally resounding! Miles (voiced by Shameik Moore) losing his uncle who is actually Prowler (voiced by Mahershala Ali) is a nice parallel to Peter Parker's origin story. Wait till you see all Spider-Men swinging together in the expertly crafted finale! While the number of Spider-Man in this feature coupled with the hyper screenplay style could initially overwhelm viewers, things should settle in pretty quick as the runtime goes.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is an all-out festival celebrating the titular superhero! Who would you love to see? Peter Parker? Peter B. Parker (voiced by Jake Johnson)? Miles Morales? Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld)? Spider-Gwen? Tombstone (voiced by Marvin Jones III)? Spider-Man Noir (voiced by Nicholas Cage)? Doc Octopus (voiced by Kathryn Hahn)? Peni Parker (voiced by Kimiko Glenn)? Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin? SP//dr? Green Goblin (voiced by Jorma Taccone)? Spider-Ham (voiced by John Mulaney)? Scorpion (voiced by Joaquín Cosío)? Or a fine Stan Lee cameo? You'll see them all assembled in this buffet! Witnessing every Spidey suit, jet, bike and car are glorious! Trolling Sony's own blunder in Spider-Man 3 takes the cake!
The film and sound editing are pretty much perfect! You're in for some truly mind-boggling transitions! Extraordinary sound design and deluxe soundtrack are the highlights! Although the Comic-Con dialogue could have been removed from the final cut since it's no longer relevant, on the larger scheme of things, this is a nit-pick.
