Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)


IMDb plot summary: Miles Morales becomes the Spider-Man of his reality and crosses paths with his counterparts from other dimensions to stop a threat to all reality.
Directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman. Starring Shameik Moore, Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, and Mahershala Ali.

This is so, so much fun. The Peter Parker origin story has now had three different iterations in the past 20 years, so it's beautifully refreshing to have a Spider-Man movie that takes a different route - and as fond as I am of the original 2002 Spider-Man movie, I think Miles Morales is a much more interesting and dynamic character than any film version of Parker ever was. This movie is funny and smart and moving and basically everything I like my superhero movies to be. So much fun.
