Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Persichetti & Ramsey; Dec 14, 2018) Movie • Page 20

My four year old son and two year old daughter both loved it! They were glued to the screen. No tears or anything at any point.

 

Oh no am I already the boring overprotective parent?

Shit

 

Aunt May definitely looks like she lives in Woodside, my old neighborhood!!!

 

Lmao. That post credits scene.

Yeah, so, this was rad. The animation reminded me of a Telltale game mixed with like a Gorillaz music video and something else. I would love to see some behind the scenes footage of how they made it.

Also, I would 100% watch a Noir Spider-Man fightin nazis movie if it was animated in the same vein.

 

“We don’t pick the ballroom, we just dance”

 

got this.

and i bought an extra copy to gift a good friend of mine

 

It’s like Batman telling The Flash to save one person, but way better.

 

This might be my favorite Spider-Man movie since Spider-Man 2. Definitely feel the weight of consequences/sacrifices of what it takes to be Spider-Man unlike Homecoming, where Peter gets off easy and literally endures no hardship

 

I will say that, quality of that film & its filmmakers aside, I do genuinely love that exchange. But, yeah, these far stronger storytellers of course did that better (at least based on what was in that one trailer, since it didn't make the final cut).

I'm torn between liking this for the justified, under discussed shade it casts on Homecoming... and disliking it because it's a post buying into the Spider-Man 2 hype that just never made any sense to me.

 

I want to take my cousin's to go watch this today because $5 tuesday at my theater and everyone should support this.

 

Fair enough. I think that movie is pretty special to me. It has a very Dick Donner- Superman romanticism about it that I really appreciate. I don’t like Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man or Peter Parker, but it nails the aspect of having to give up the things that matter to you most to do the right thing.

Don’t get me wrong, I do like Homecoming. I love Tom Holland. He’s the perfect incarnation of Pete/Spidey. I just think his incarnation needs to be put through the crucible of responsibility.

 

I've gone on this spiel so many times, probably at least a few times in this very thread, but there just isn't any truly great live action Spider-Man film. Across all 6, you're just deciding which aspect you wanna see done right & which poison you've built up a tolerance for.

I actually like revisiting Spider-Man 2 about as much as I do Homecoming & the ASM films (Andrew Garfield is still my favorite Spider-Man), and I do see a lot of great stuff about it. It's just so hard to deal with by far the worst person to have worn the Spidey suit, regardless of how great Doc Ock, Jameson, the filmmaking style, & elements of the plot may be. Plus, I still think making his power glitch & making him throw his suit away in the same film is bad storytelling. I can appreciate a classic "Spider-Man No More" tale, & I can appreciate a classic anxiety disabling powers tale, but putting the two together takes the teeth out of both. It still feels more like a classic Spider-Man story than Homecoming, but still.

As much as people complain about how unfocused ASM2 is, and it's certainly the messiest Spider-Man plot in need of the most editing (probably even more than SM3)... The messiness is more in the plotting & the world-building/sequel-baiting. Which, it's not any less fulfilling than reading random standalone issues as a kid was, which I never minded. Buried under those subplots that should've been cut is a story that has less thematic dissonance for me than SM2. By opening the film with Peter having a great life, but then making all these great aspects mutually exclusive, his inability to balance his life feels much more real than it does when his powers are failing. We get to see him unable to commit or let go up until the final minute, when it all literally collapses around him. (This works well alongside Harry's desperation & Gwen's maturity.) Plus, it really captures the classic comic idea that Peter's life is waves of very good & very bad.

 

Bad storytelling? The losing the powers/Spider-Man no more stuff is all based in dramatized emotion and conflict about the frustrations that come with being Spider-Man and the personal and social sacrifices he continuously has to make. That everything in his life is so hard, and on top of that, even his spidey powers stop working, feels very Parker Luck to me.

 

Movie was so fire I had to cop the origin story kicks.

 

I wanna buy the Air Jordan's to go with my Miles Morales costume but I just never liked the shoe enough.

 

why do you have to do that to me

 

Movie rules in every possible way.

 

We are NEVER gonna agree on this, lol. Thank goodness for this new movie, which is able to bring us together from our separate corners of the Spider-Verse.

SM2 is still a fine movie if one can get over that awful lead performance. I've probably watched it twice in the last year & a half. Recently bought Spider-Man 2.1 (that alternate cut) for a dollar. But, like... Why would the film make him wanna quit being Spider-Man, & then take away his powers to solidify that choice? And then, when he's ready to get back to it, his powers come back? That's Infinity War levels of messy, tbh. Either have him trying to be Spidey w/ dysfunctional powers, or have him choose to give it up when it still seems like an option to him.

 

Saw this for a second time tonight and loved it even more. This movie is seriously perfect in every way. Hands down my favorite of this year.

 

Also saw this today and I have to echo the sentiment, this is fucking phenomeal. Probably my second favorite movie of the year and my favorite Spider-Man movie. Visuals are spellbinding (literally couldn't take my eyes off the screen the whole time) and the story is legitimately really good, and the jokes are great too. Not to mention the fantastic cast. Speaking of which, was Chris Pine completely uncredited? I could swear I didn't see his name in the credits at all


Will for sure buy this when it comes out. Might even see it again in theaters

 

Lol yeah I disagree deeply but that’s fine. Spider-Verse exists so I’m in a state of pure bliss.

 

Pine was there, credited as Peter Parker

 

I can't wait to watch this in 4K on my couch in a few months.

 

I just want to know if Chris Pine was singing the Spider-Man Christmas song in the credits

 

The post credits scene is so good.
