Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse Review
After the dismal reviews given to Sony by critics after the release of Venom, it's safe to say that they had some making up to do. Not only was this the best animated movie of 2018, but it was a great way to introduce movie fans to the idea of different universes with different variants of the heroes. Miles was likeable and funny, but also emotional when the scene called for it. People who are fans of the comics will have seen the twist half way through the movie coming, but to most people in the theatre it seemed to be a shock.
The plot revolves around The Kingpin, who attempts to open a rift into another dimension in order to retrieve his wife and child, who have died in his own dimension. Miles was doing graffiti one night in an old sewer tunnel with his uncle, when he got bitten by a spider that came into his dimension during one of Kingpins tests. When his powers start to develop, his spidey sense tells him to go into a tunnel, which leads to the particle collider that Kingpin is working on. He sees Peter Parker fighting Green Goblin, which eventually gets him spotted, distracting Peter Parker and causing him to fall into the collider. Kingpin finishes the job and kills Parker in a cutaway shot.
The film then shows you a montage of the city in grieving. As Miles tries to come to grips with the death of his hero, he goes to Peters grave, only to meet Peter himself... but its not Peter as we know him, its an older, washed-up Peter from another dimension. They plan together a way to get him back to his own dimension, which involves breaking into an Oscorp facility in upstate New York. While they go along the way, they meet different carnations of Spider-Man. Noir, Penny Parker, Spider-Ham and Gwen Stacy. Seeing the alternate versions of Spider-Man be portrayed in film was amazing, however I do feel that the only characters developed enough in the movie were Peter and Miles.
In conclusion, Into The Spider-Verse was a fantastic and fun way to introduce movie audiences to the character of Miles Morales, and I hope to see more of him in future movies. We already know that Miles exists in the MCU thanks to a not so subtle easter egg dropped in Spider-Man: Homecoming, so fingers crossed he will make an appearance in the not too distant future.
