MARVEL UNIVERSE / SPIDERVERSE
A comic book movie as it should be...
If anyone says there isn't a movie that accurately represent the comics and don't think of this movie...needs to get knocked on the head by Spider-Ham! ...
THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN
The story is literally like a comic book but they gave a story that is so intricate and emotional. They gave such an amazing background with his father and his uncle and about him being in school, and that whole fight scene with Spiderman and Kingpin in the subway was just amazing, that was the first time the sound effects and graphics really had an impact. The Prowler is one of the amazing characters in this movie and his score is very impacting. I also love how it's not only Miles who was having character development but also Peter Parker. When they discovered that Olivia was Doc Oc, it was just amazing, there is too many things to say about this movie and I can't just keep writing amazing for everything because it is, something that you can't really say about The Amazing Spiderman hahaha!
MILES MORALES
When they all met up at Aunt May, it was amaz.... awesome! Firstly this is exactly what I wanted to see, no holding back on anything, there's no such thing as ridiculous, Noir Spiderman, Anime Spider-Bot and even Spider-Ham! And it fits absolutely perfect, it was so entertaining. And the Spider-Lair, not that's what I want to see, now imagine we got a series where we have someone in the Lair helping Spiderman stop crime and he gets to use all that gadgets. From the moment Miles was embracing his Powers, that build up literally give goosebumps, especially when he jumped from that building, i am so disappointed that I haven't watched it in the theatre, the IMAX experience just for that scene alone is worth it. Even though it was an animated movie, the ending still had alot of emotion, how they were working together, and I didn't think I would get so invested in a Spider-Bot but I did and when they were saying good bye, how could you not get emotional. When Miles let Peter go back into that portal was literally the best ending ever. Because I had goosebumps just thinking about how he now has to go up against Kingpin by himself. And I have go to say that was definitely an ending with waiting for.
INTO THE SPIDERVERSE
Overall this is one of the best animated movies I have seen, because it's just not about having a movie with clear graphics, but it took advantage of the fact that it's an animated movie so they gave us artwork that is the best to its fullest abilities, I literally feel sorry for anyone who would watch a downloaded copy of this movie, I mean you have to see this movie in its fullest resolution to see every detail, and If you think the sound couldn't be just as good as it's animations? The you will sadly be very wrong because this movie has one of the best score and music I have heard, I have never been more entertained, and the sound effects, was amazing because they gave us full sound effects of so many things, for animated movie it's very impressive because they have to have sounds for the streets, people, cars etc not like a live action movie where they can capture so much sound easily with the mic when filming, this movie they had to add all the sound effects. So for it's glorious animation and it's immersive sound with loud bass and a story that is intricate and entertaining, including a not one but two Stan Lee cameo's that I have seen, if there is more let me know, it deserves the highest rating. Would I recommend you watching this? How else you going to find the Stan Lee cameo?
MARVEL COMICS
If you looking for a movie that accurately portrays the comics, it's this movie, the animation alone is literally a moving comic book. Not only the graphics but the character and it's story as well. You can see the sketching in the images and the way the colours are, and with its comic book style frames, it's artworks, it's character and even small things like showing its reactions like exclamation marks, words anything that's in the comic book we got it here. I have actually heard someone complain about the graphics and it's frame rate of this movie but the style is actually one of the best and if you actually watch the movie without being on your cellphone you would notice that the frame rate for Miles Morales actually gets faster the more he learns to controls his abilities and the frame rate becomes the highest when he official becomes Spiderman. No matter how much times I watch this, it has the same impact as the first time I saw it and after watching it I am satisfied everytime, I just just think to my self that this worth watching everytime. Everything about this movie embodies the comics and I really hope to see more movies like this in the future, it would also be nice to see the other Superheros that isn't as popular as these and introduce them to the world for us to enjoy.
