Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

"Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is unquestionably the best animated film of the year and neck-and-neck with Black Panther for best superhero film of the year. Believe the hype."

"After Tom Holland's successful MCU run as Peter Parker, Tom Hardy's box office-crushing Venom, and one hell of a PS4 game, the question must be asked: do we really need more Spider-People? I never thought the answer could be "Yes, here's six more!" However, with Miles Morales as the lead, an incredibly dense script, and downright astonishing animation, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse turns the impossible into one of the greatest comic book superhero films ever made."

"Just when you thought you couldn't take another Spider-Man reboot, along comes the movie to put them all in perspective."

"Forget the quantum physics and dimension-hopping: the most impossible thing to believe here is that Spider-Man feels exciting and new again."

"Not since Sam Raimi's godly mid-2000s run has the kinetic exhilaration of web-swinging felt so tactile, and the Manhattan through which our hero sails felt so specifically realised."

"Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a blast of craft and storytelling. In an overcrowded and mostly predictable genre, it is exactly the superhero movie I didn't even know I needed to see."

"The result is an unconventional, vibrantly fresh and laugh-a-minute loving ode to the comics. It's really something special."

"What distinguishes "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" in the end is that it takes its mission seriously, even when it's being transparently silly."

"A free-wheeling, fast-and-loose, strikingly animated addition to one of the biggest library [sic] of films in the Marvel collection."

"A two hour-long explosion of joy and colour, brimming with laughter and heart..."

"Fresh, funny and frequently bonkers, Into The Spider-Verse is an astonishing shot of cinematic superhero adrenaline. For such an over-familiar character, somehow, this feels original and entirely new."
