There’s never been anything like this animated exaltation of the Spider-Man canon. The animation is glorious, and more faithful to its comic-book roots than any big-screen graphics in the past. The story is deliciously witty and preposterously complex, but perfectly comprehensible, whether or not you have studied quantum physics. The scale feels vast, yet the spirit is joyous. It’s as if everyone had set out to make the best Spider-Man movie ever, which is exactly what they’ve done. Read full review

A joyful, trippy new incarnation of Spider-Man that you didn’t know you needed, brimming with wit, soul and jaw-dropping visuals. Read full review

It breathes youthful life into a tired franchise and makes the smartest transition yet of characters from the comics to the big screen with clever animation and thoughtful storytelling. Read full review

It would seem like an impossible feat, but somehow, directors Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman have breathed thrilling new life into the comic book movie. The way they play with tone, form and texture is constantly inventive and giddily alive. Read full review

Spider-Verse is a dreamy, funny, self-aware, visually explosive delight, with a sharper sense of humor than the sophomoric, wearying Deadpool, a keener, more kinetic sense of action than most of the live-action Avengers films (save maybe Ant-Man), and richer ideas than most of the visually muddy, self-serious DC films we’ve gotten to date.

The world doesn’t really need another Spider-Man movie, which is exactly what makes Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse such an unexpected delight: Here’s the latest entry in a fully saturated genre that somehow, through sheer creative gumption, does something new. Read full review

No, Sony Animation should not have let Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse out its doors and onto big screens in this blurred, jerky, pixelated condition. Read full review

This movie was amazing, with spectacular visuals, superior story creating the ultimate spider-man movie.
It was funny, clever and creative. Very true to the comics as a plus. This is easily the best spider-man movie ever. Its no some SJW retelling but stands on its own as truly great.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not really into animation but the trailer seemed interesting so decided to check it out. I saw it in IMAX 3D. The animation was spectacular. It was a style that I've never seen before; it was as if the pages of a comic book sprang to life. So colorful too. The story was good, and surprisingly emotional. I highly recommend this film.… Expand

The most compelling Spider-Man film since Spider-Man 2. Into the Spider-Verse delivers not only creative and stunning visuals but a refreshingly interesting story.

I can't put into words how happy this movie makes me feel. An actual good Spider-Man film? I haven't seen that in over a decade. What? It's going to be animated? Excuse me? Hello?

Mile Morales, Spider-Gwen, Noir, and Peter Porker? Sign me the **** up. This movie is fittingly spectacular.I can't put into words how happy this movie makes me feel. An actual good Spider-Man film? I haven't seen that in over a decade. What? It's going to be animated? Excuse me? Hello?

This movie is fittingly spectacular. The animation is gorgeous. It's stylish, fluid, and perfectly represents a comic book. The characters are all great. They're interesting, well-developed, and somehow distinct in their personality, despite being basically the same person. Miles is such a great character. Peter Parker is such a great character. Everyone is such a great character. I don't understand how that's possible.

The story is interesting, well-paced, and contains fleshed out themes of responsibility, perseverance, and growth.

This film just oozes of the effort that everyone who worked on this must have put in. This is the love letter to Spider-Man that the franchise so desperately needed, and that makes me so happy as a fan, and excited for what's to come.… Expand

It's a ham-handed "diversity" abomination. And massively overrated.
Black spider man, spider woman, anime-lolita spider girl, female Octopus.
The story was nothing special undeserving of such high rates
