I mean i haven't seen it yet but to those who have does it live up to the hype? (note that I'm a big Marvel/Spider-man fan so I'm watching it anyway :))
shareIts better than the hype. I went into it cautiously and was amazed.
sharei absolutely love it. i think it's easily the greatest version of a comic book world we've ever seen, & i think it has the most stunning, beautiful animation ever made. i hate to use this tired, over-used word, but i think this film is visionary, & potentially something that will change the look of animated film. how can we go back to looking at what we had before when we know we can have something that looks like this?
and it's just a terrific story too. funny, sweet, full of heart.
If you like visionary animation, check out Love, Death, and Robots on Netflix
sharei just did a little reading on it and watched the trailer - looks great. i will definitely check it out, probably later today.
thanks!
i'm three episodes in & am very much enjoying it.
the first two episodes were solid - didn't quite wow me, but thought they were solid & was engaged & interested in seeing more.
the third episode is fantastic imo - & contained brilliant animation, very reminiscent of spider-verse in its look.
thanks again.
No problem!
What they did with the animation is pretty crazy! I'm glad you're liking it.
The farming episode is one of my favorites!
No. The story and setpieces and characters are nothing more than your typical run of the mill superhero and animation movie. One of my biggest disappointments ever. Can't believe its rated this high. It also has one of the stupidest plot twists i've ever seen.
shareAs with any movie or subjective thing, it is always up to the viewer to decide. When a film such as Spider-Verse receives overwhelming critical praise and becomes an equal hit with audiences, setting your expectations too high is hard not to do. But more often than not, one will go in to see an acclaimed film with so many preconceived notions that it might affect how they’ll view and appreciate it. So, it’s all subjective; just don’t put much confidence on the opinions of those few that will trash it to pieces because they have an agenda or because they pompously thought they were too good for it ad nauseam.
With that out of the way, I believe Into the Spider-Verse is absolute a top-tier film. I saw it when it first came out and, although critics had been raving about it for weeks, I tried to go in without super high expectations. I was for sure expecting a first-rate film, however I wanted to enjoy the ride and get those preconceived notions out of the way. And guess what.... I was amazed by this thing more than I expected to be. All the positive things that have been said about the groundbreaking and striking animation are nothing but true. But apart from the visuals, Spider-Verse simply has everything going for it... strong character building, great structure, genuine surprises, and all the depth, charm, and humor you could ask for in a SM adaptation.
Yes, and not only do I regard this as one of the best superhero films ever made, but to me it might be the finest Spider-Man film to date; it perhaps stands out so much to me because it truly is different in many ways. And granted there are less restrictions with animation than there is with live-action (even with great CGI, it’s harder to make something that looks like it’s straight out of the pages in live-action), but even so Spider-Verse is in a class by itself. And by the way, I thought the popular-to-dislike Homecoming... at least mostly by purists & dedicated MCU haters.... was itself a refreshingly sweet Spider-Man movie. I can’t wait to see where Far From Home goes.
I think it does. I liked Miles' story and I also liked the other Spider-Men. I especially liked adult Peter Parker and it is a shame that we probably won't see an adult Peter Parker in a movie anymore unless there is a sequel to this.
shareIt was significantly far from amazing as some people putting it.
But when you look at the people who are claiming as such, it's pretty easy to see why they are doing so.
It was enjoyable and worth a watch no doubt. But it's a pretty stock standard film - nothing amazing or special.

What do you mean by that?
Yeah, please elaborate. I'm sure there are more complex or compelling animated superhero movies out there (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns comes to mind...) but this is a very good movie considering the audience it was aimed to.
We are living in an era where a wide range of information is more easily available to everyone, so it is expected to find movies that seem to aim for a niche group, when in reality there were made for a wider audience.
I reckon some hardcore comic book fans can feel betrayed after watching this movie, but they have to consider how expensive it is producing animation like this while also getting a considerable box office gross.
Yeah it's not targeted at the hardcore comic book fan. Which I figure is why non-fans and newcomers are so strongly proclaiming this film as amazing while the more regular fan of comic book movies are saying that it is a good film.
I'm pretty sure financially it did decent enough, which is good for them.
I watched it this weekend thinking there was no way that it would live up to the hype (a game changing animated movie!)
I became into a believer after it ended. Is THAT good.
No.
But you just admitted you are a big Spider-Man fan who will watch it anyway, so it’s pointless to explain why it doesn’t live up to hype.
