An affectionate explosion of ideas obviously loving not just Spider-Man, but comics in general. The animation is very original, the stylization is often insane, but at the same time insanely impressive, and when you think nothing crazier can happen, it does. But what's most important from my point of view is that it's not just a comedy that’s off the rails. The film is just as powerful, if not stronger, in the quiet personal scenes in which emotions come to the forefront. It is, in short, an entertaining and truly great spectacle with a poignant dedication to creators Lee and Ditko. And I prefer not to know how many details I missed the first time.

A flick packed with ideas in which one Spidey has a tight-fitting sweatpants cover his belly and the second is a complete pig for a change. When it comes to Spiderman’s adventures, the plot with parallel universes is nothing out of the ordinary, but the production is a whole category higher. In addition to planting a wealth of hidden references in the movie, Lord and Miller followed their comic-fan hearts and instinct for doling out emotions and action scenes. The animation is somewhere between digital and hand-drawn and, for the first time in a long time, I felt sorry for not watching it in 3D because it’s clear that the picture is unbelievably lively and ideal for that technology. I was expecting an easy-going kids’ movie and got the surprise of the year.

Since the days the Wachowski siblings’ Speed Racer, this is the first film that conceptually works with colours and that captures every scene with its formal and stylistic creativity, as well as with its spellbinding kinetic nature. In addition to that, it is an incredible revelation in the field of animation that has no genealogical predecessor among feature films. The roots of this unique picture – and thus of its individual techniques – rather lie in video games and online videos. Despite that, however, we still cannot find any other single film that would bring them together in the same way.

Miles Morales was an ordinary student and teenager before he was bitten by a radioactive spider. Now he must learn to control his powers and become a hero before a strange experiment destroys all of New York. Fortunately, he will get the help of spider heroes from other dimensions... and it's great. The animated Spidey is an aggressive, brisk and modern ride that is great to watch thanks to brilliant comic book styling, has excellent action and works in both humour and drama. Plus, it cleverly uses the fact that in animated form, you can come up with crazy things that wouldn't work in live-action. One of the best comic book films of recent years, and quite possibly the best Spider-Man ever.

Probably the most comic book-like film I’ve ever seen. The art and formal style alone deserve praise, but it also works in terms of script, and much better than most the live-action counterparts. What drags a little perhaps is the emotional aspect, but that may well be my problem – animated films hardly ever arouse any emotions in me. What is worth noting, though, is how Spider-verse effortlessly portrays a distinctive black hero without hardly anyone feeling weird about it. Miles Morales is a very likeable and very well written character; unlike that overrated Black Panther, whose enthusiastic reviews were collected on political orders, because they can’t be explained otherwise.
