Most of the time Im very very late to animated movies because its not my thing but a few days ago my son was watching Flash the TV series and I though lets watch something he is going to like but I know we both have never seen and right at that moment came up lets watch "Spider Man Into the Spider Verse (2018)", he likes Spider Man although he is not as fan as from "The Flash" the TV series. Honestly from my perspective Im one of those who say that theres to many Spider Man movies to watch but at the same time I get how theres so many worlds and information that can be explode and use to create something different and unique and that is the case of Spider Man Into the Spider Verse. This is a bit of a different action movie as it is an animated one that bring to us different Spider Man from other universes, myself as a kid would go nuts about it. Starting I will say that the animation is unlike anything I have ever seen before from Spider Man animated been from someone who watch the 90s version, the movie does some incredible things visually, the way they blend different animation styles for each Spider person feels very unike, you got Miles looking realistic while Spider Ham looks like a classic cartoon, spider Gwen has this punk rock aesthetic that pops off the screen and Spider Man Noir exists in black and white with wind constantly blowing his coat around. The animation department create something that looks like a comic book come to life and we can't deny that all the techniques used in this project were incredible.

As in every Spiderman movie we need to know who is our spiderman and here theres no exception, his name is Peter Parker, every one love him, has his villains and live in New York and you ask so why the main character is Miles Morales well because he indeed take the place of Peter Parker after he dies in a fight against Kingpin, yeah Spiderman dies but before that I'm going to tell you a little bit about Miles Morales and how he turned the new SpiderMan. Miles Morales is a teenager who one night was bite by a radioactive spider, yeah just like Peter Parker, since that moment he started to have different symptoms, you know like super hearing, can walk in the walls and theres one scene when he touch the hair of Gwen in the school but couldn't remove his hand so easily, when he finally take his hand away he brings a lot of her hair with him, so he realizes that everything get stick on his hand, well he was frick out, his life was changing, he doesn't know why until one day reading a comic of SpiderMan he notice so many similarities between his changes and Peter Parker, so he knew that he is just like Spiderman with powers but a rookie but things were just beginning for Miles, he met SpiderMan in the worst moment when he was fighting againts Kingpin, SpiderMan feels Miles, take him aside to be save recognized that was like him, in his last moments he gave Miles a key to stop a machine that Kingpin wanted to use to look for his family in other universe, after that talk, Miles ran, hide and saw how Kingpin killed SpiderMan. Dude that was big twist in this story because probably the people thought that this world belongs only to Miles that wasn't any other SpiderMan but it wasn't the case, we were witnesses of his short participation in this movie and how he gave a mission to the new SpiderMan, Miles Morales. I really like the way how is presented Miles Morales, a teenager that love his neighborhood, that doesn't like his school even though that he is in a school for smart kids, as many other spidermans he also is smart, has a complicated relationship with his father but a good one with his uncle. He is just like another boy of his age that one night was force to take a mission from SpiderMan, so yeah thats some context and even though felt like a carbon copy of the OG Spider Man somehow feels good to see someone taking over.
At this point of the movie you will say well the base of the story is almost the same as many others only that is animated and yes, is similar but at the same time is not because here comes the twist that for many people is the reason to love this movie that is the multiverse in this case the spiderverse that give the possibility to see others kind of spiderman that you read in a comic many years ago now making their presence in a movie and in a good one. Here you can see a more mature SpiderMan named Peter B. Parker, in his universe he is divorce, with depression, a little fat but with a lot of experience as a super hero. Spider Gwen the only SpiderWoman of the group, intelligent, strong and in his universe fought against spiderman who became The Lizard. SpiderMan Noir, this is the only black and white spiderman from 1933 with his hard boiled detective style and animation of that time. Peni Parker a little girl, she was designed as an anime character, her universe is in the year 3145 and she has a robot that inside has the spider with which she has a physic connection and the last but not least is Peter Porker, he is the one who brings more funny moments to this whole chaos. You really learn to care about them all and feel bad to know that there aren't in their respective universe and can die if they don't return, they are running against time. Unfortunately the movie doesn't give deep information about them and I think this was on purposoe for either sequels or probably animated tv series, recently a few Spier Man series had come out, the movie just give the necessary information for you to know who they are, but the center of everything is the mess Kingpin has created with his machine, afterr Kingpin lost his wife and son and with the machine he wanted to literately kidnap them form another universe to live with him, so he is in pain and doesn't care to create a huge mess in the multiverse to get what he wants. For that reason all those spiderman/woman/pig are in Miles Morales universe.
For every superhero a villain should exist as well and this movie brought many of them, I already mention Kingpin that is the main villain in this story but theres also others that I want to mention in special Dr Octopus that here is not a man is a female, as an unexpected twist I approved it, she doesn't has like a reason to fight against Spiderman just because he has the key of the collider machine and she want, as a scientist she needs to know how it works its all obsession. The one that was truly a surprise is the Prowler because he is Miles Morales Uncle, thats kinda sad too, because he is the personification of love for Miles, his best friend, a person who guide him and advice him in many ways and suddenly he realized that the villain is his uncle Aaron and the uncle when capture him knew that the new spiderman was his beloved nephew, so sad, so twisted and the most heartbreaking moment because his Uncle died latter on so this movie not only puts everything upside down to what I knew about Spiderman but also have many emotional moments.
I thought this would be a movie only for kids but its way more than that, reminds me a lot about "Transformers ONE" that one I did see few months after came out, Im more of a Transformers fans though so Im bias on that one. Been a Spierman animated movie I thought well is going to be colorfull, with villains, with fights and actions scene but the truth is that is more than that. Spider Man Into the SpiderVerse not only show a multiverse violence and villain fights also give us a deeply and emotional scenes such as Miles dad talking to him through a door giving him an emotional speech, when his uncle dies and also when he saw SpiderMan dies, all are moments that turned his character more human. The leap of faith moment where Miles finally becomes Spider Man is a moving one, the way he rises up toward the camera as the music plays in the back is beautifully executed, that sequence alone probably explains why so many people love this movie, I honestly think this is the best movie at capturing the essence of what makes Spider Man special superhero, is that human side and that fight against the odds. The creation of every spiderman and the way how they were presented with their own swag, their own look, making them so different and unique, that takes a ton of imagination. As many movies when you have so many characters on it can be complicated to pay attention to everyone and everything and probably many people couldn't keep up the rhythm of the every scene so I get it if many think its a bit confusing for been an animated series and its very geeky when it comes to Spiderman stuff, after all one of the best animated movies I have seen in my life, solid solid 8/10
