In a franchise dominated by the debate of who truly is, the best Spider-Man, Into the Spider-Verse’s stellar sequel dives into the multiversersal question of what it means to wear the mask, and the sacrifices that come from being a superhero.
The story follows our favorite Brooklyn-based wall crawler Miles Morales as he struggles to maintain the balance of defending New York City alone, while attending the prestigious visions academy. The sudden arrival of old friends and new foes once again sends the young Spider-Man into a battle for the fate of the multiverse, and a personal price they all must pay.
Not only does the Spider-versal sequel match up to its predecessor, but somehow surpasses the original. The movie capitalizes on the creative difference of each Spider-Mans style, making the legions of red and blue spider styled leotards standout in their own, each unique way, from bright and colorful utopias to dark and grim realities. The writing is just as masterfully crafted as the art you see on screen, weaving in the expected quippy side of our spider themed superhero, with heavy hitting moments that tug at all the heartstrings, to epic action and the stakes that follow, truly making it worthy of the title: a superhero movie.
