Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Reveiw by Zala Shonka This movie has been met with skepticism and excitement, and I was no exception. I was ecstatic when I had first seen the trailers for this movie because the animation style is different and unique, and I personally love the Marvel comics and all of the Spiderman stories. Although I was excited, I had friends that were very skeptical about this movie, and I know that there are probably a lot of people who haven’t seen this movie who felt the same, so this is my review of Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse. First of all, the animation. I think the animation was really well done, especially considering that this is the first movie Sony Pictures has done in this style. The frame rate is lowered, (frames are how many different pictures play in one second) and the reason for that is to make it a bit more chunky, so it sort of gives the feeling of watching comics move. It also has a very large color pallet and is very pretty in how the colors work together and contrast. Secondly, the MUSIC! Honestly, the soundtrack for this movie is so good! I listen to it almost every day and it is amazing. I don’t really have anything else to say about it. Finally, the story! All of the spider people are unique and funny, and the story is very well written. Also, a lot of the characters outside of spider people, are great too! To name a few, Aunt May, Miles’ Dad, Miles’ Uncle, and King Pin. I don’t want to give out any spoilers but everything related to the story is amazing. In conclusion, GO. WATCH. THIS. MOVIE. NOW!
