Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the creative minds behind The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street, bring their unique talents to a fresh vision of a different Spider-Man Universe, with a groundbreaking visual style that's the first of its kind. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse introduces Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.

I was skeptical about this film and I was most worried about the formal aspect, which is not exactly dazzling, but in the end I had an unexpectedly pleasant time and the visuals didn't bother me that much (except for Kingpin, who looked terrible). It's got pace, a nice soundtrack, occasionally the humour works and there's a twist. I was a bit annoyed by the Japanese girl and the pig, they seemed a bit over the line, but it was bearable. I was expecting 2*, in the end a decent 4*. 75%

A flick packed with ideas in which one Spidey has a tight-fitting sweatpants cover his belly and the second is a complete pig for a change. When it comes to Spiderman’s adventures, the plot with parallel universes is nothing out of the ordinary, but the production is a whole category higher. In addition to planting a wealth of hidden references in the movie, Lord and Miller followed their comic-fan hearts and instinct for doling out emotions and action scenes. The animation is somewhere between digital and hand-drawn and, for the first time in a long time, I felt sorry for not watching it in 3D because it’s clear that the picture is unbelievably lively and ideal for that technology. I was expecting an easy-going kids’ movie and got the surprise of the year.

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.

If I was a fan of comics, this would be the film of my life. As a film lover, I admired that extravagant and inventive barrage of plays with style, split screens, intensive editing and frantic action (not to mention the bombastic music), but by the end I was saturated and after the interdimensional encounter, I only watched that whirlwind of audiovisual perfection chasing the mandatory conclusion. A ground-breaking and impressive piece of work, no doubt, live action Spidey can never get close to this. 85%

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.
