A total rush. I needed to put my brain into standby mode. Instead, I let myself wallow for two hours in an absolutely uncompromising barrage of flashy visuals, at the heart of which flows an unspectacular story that showers nerd hearts with references, jokes, and winks, while never leaving the clueless non-comics reader behind. It stuffs into it a tangle of full-bodied and likable characters who can come for the pompous personal outputs and cut the cobwebs into the viewer's heart, which, in this case, was beating at about a hundred and fifty percent. That is because this is sheer filmmaking exhibitionism, into which someone has put an awful lot of money and even more creative freedom. Yet the result, although it overflows the usual rules and genre norms must satisfy, in the end, even the most conformist viewer, who in the end will find that Sony has bluntly swept away a decade of the Marvel Universe in 111 minutes.

Probably the most comic book-like film I’ve ever seen. The art and formal style alone deserve praise, but it also works in terms of script, and much better than most the live-action counterparts. What drags a little perhaps is the emotional aspect, but that may well be my problem – animated films hardly ever arouse any emotions in me. What is worth noting, though, is how Spider-verse effortlessly portrays a distinctive black hero without hardly anyone feeling weird about it. Miles Morales is a very likeable and very well written character; unlike that overrated Black Panther, whose enthusiastic reviews were collected on political orders, because they can’t be explained otherwise.

Comic book movies have, on the whole, felt like poor relations so far. And unfortunately, this was often the case with the best of the live-action and animated adaptations. Because they often didn't come close to the possibilities of comic book stories and their courage and creativity. Yet this time, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse also reminded movie-goers of the possibilities of comic book narrative, which is excellent. And I'm not even talking about creativity in the animation.

An affectionate explosion of ideas obviously loving not just Spider-Man, but comics in general. The animation is very original, the stylization is often insane, but at the same time insanely impressive, and when you think nothing crazier can happen, it does. But what's most important from my point of view is that it's not just a comedy that’s off the rails. The film is just as powerful, if not stronger, in the quiet personal scenes in which emotions come to the forefront. It is, in short, an entertaining and truly great spectacle with a poignant dedication to creators Lee and Ditko. And I prefer not to know how many details I missed the first time.

Comic-book movies are obsolete, unimaginative, completely the same, resting on its laurels, although often still, fortunately, they are entertaining enough. They seem to be becoming idle, where everybody in the industry is afraid to change anything, and everyone is doing almost exactly the same thing. And suddenly, surprisingly that a comic book with a big (not only) K, which shows where the genre would go, comes from Sony company (although thanks to the local energy it is more likely to arrive) with a playfulness, imaginativeness, originality and comic essence. However, even if it finds followers, it will hardly be overcome. However, he undoubtedly has shortcoming. Above all, it tries to be very emotional, but it doesn't always succeed. The bigger snag is that he's trying to catch all the spider hares in the world. As a result, both the negatives and most of the parallel Spideys are reprehensibly unused or outright in number, and the whole thing is a bit overpaid (but this is true of everything under the auspices of the Lord / Miller duo). Even so, it is clearly the best superhero comic book since the Big Six.
