Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

2018
★★★½ Liked

Rewatched 01 Mar 2019

Enjoyed this more than watching it in theaters, as the animation didn’t make me nauseous this time around. When this movie is fun, it’s really fun. I loved the scenes most between Miles and the older, more tired Peter Parker, as the film’s infectious energy and self-awareness comes most to the forefront during these scenes. 

I do still think, though, that Spider-Verse starts to lose steam right around the point where the multiple Spider-Men come in, after Gwen. I almost wish they had stuck with a smaller group, or at least expanded on each of those characters a bit more. From here through to the end, the film just feels a bit rushed, and though the ending is definitely full of solid action, it still just feels a bit underwhelming by the time it ends. 

I do still like much of Spider-Verse, and feel that there is endless potential with this universe, but I hope next time around they slow things down just a bit.
