Film Review: Multi-Dimensional ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’
CHICAGO – This animated take on Spider-Man gets a little stuck in a web entirely of its own making. Digging deeper into the weeds of the extended mythology of the comics, “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse” presents not one but at least seven different versions of the character.
Rating: 3.5/5.0 |
There’s Peter Parker, old and paunchy divorceé Peter Parker, a 1940’s film noir version, a Japanese version (Peni Parker) who’s a squeaky voiced girl with a robot, Spider-Girl (aka Gwen Stacy), Peter Porker… Spider-Ham and Miles Morales (an African American teen at a trendy Brooklyn school who gets bitten by a radioactive spider, and his spidey senses start tingling). These versions are voiced by various actors, but the combination could be a little bit much for mere casual fans who might not track with all these alternate alleys.
