Spider-Man
Into The Spider Verse 9/10
There
will be spoilers. Yesterday I watched Spider-Man: Into The Spider
Verse with B&H. This was a damn good movie. I know I am super
late to the game with that opinion but I am also glad that I waited
because there was so much hype regarding this. I regret not seeing
this in theaters except for one scene where I would have embarrassed
myself laughing at one scene where Miles has hair and pigeons stuck
to his hands while he walks across windows with his shirt pulled over
his head. I could not stop laughing at that scene and it is one of
the hardest I have laughed at a movie in years.
This
movie starts off with Miles Morales being sent to a new school. He
does not want to but he is kind of too good to keep on the path that
he wants to stay on. He tries to be cool at his new school and even
gets some tips from his uncle Aaron on how to talk to a new girl.
Miles and his uncle head to an old train station and do some
graffiti. Miles is good at it and his uncle and father used to do it
when they were younger. Miles ends up getting bit by a spider and it
is very dramatic. They show his blood changing and dramatic music
playing and then...he quietly slaps it off. Miles, after experiencing
all manner of nonsense trying to figure out what is happening to him
goes in search of the spider that bit him and stumbles into a battle
between Green Goblin and Spider-Man. There are different versions of
these characters so I was shocked at how huge he was. Kingpin ends up
killing an incapacitated Spider-Man. I was like “Holy shit!” He
just pounded him to death! Next thing you know some dude named The
Prowler chases Miles down.
Kingpin
wants to build this machine that will open up other dimensions so he
can pretty much yank his wife and son from another reality and keep
them. His actual wife and son died in a car accident after racing
away from him when he was beating the shit out of Spider-Man
previously. By the way, I love that Kingpin is so damned big and
scary in this. And that he is in this. People tend to just associate
him with Daredevil these days. Spider-Man gives a small device to
Miles that will help destroy the machine and he ends up breaking it
practicing Spider-Man moves. After visiting Spider-Man's grave (he is
for real dead) he ends up electrocuting another Spider-Man. This
Peter Parker is from another reality. The machine is boning down
reality and pulling Spider-Folk from different realities.
This
Peter is Spider-Man but kind of a loser version that has pretty much
given up. The new girl that Miles likes turns out to be Spider-Gwen.
The is also Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Ham, and Peni Parker. So many
spiders! I loved the way this movie was able to mix comedy, action,
and drama. Oh, the drama! There are really some scenes in this that
felt real. Miles father Jefferson Davis has some of the best acting
scenes that could hold up against anything not animated. Loved this
version of Doctor Octopus. The voice acting was all really good and
when I found out who did these voices I was shocked. They also
managed to use new music that didn't make me want to punch myself in
the dick. I am not gonna download the soundtrack or anything but I do
want that Prowler theme. Great movie. Great story. And I didn't have
to see Uncle Ben die for the hundredth time!
