I finally got around to seeing "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" yesterday and I cannot emphasize enough what an excellent movie it is. It has humor, action, excellent characters, and a wholesome message.
Probably my favorite aspect of it though is the overall animation style and cinematography. It's a great mix of comic book aspects (with characters' thoughts being written on screen and onomatopoeia figuring into the action) mixed with the gritty reality of New York City. The main character, Miles, is also a graffiti artist, so graffiti figures into the aesthetic pretty highly as the camera moves down a NYC street. It's gorgeous to watch.
And of course the message is excellent. This is a movie telling you that anyone can be a superhero, anyone can be Spider-Man. All you have to do is take a leap of faith (shout out to Kierkegaard) and claim the title as your own.
