Spider-Man: In Spider-Verse weaves a web of pure joy

Warning! Here is the Spider-Man, as the old theme of television. Be careful, because here is another Spider-Man – and another, another and another.

Yes, Spider-Man's over-powered netizens: The Spider-Verse are not your daddy's Spider-Man. This new animated film presents an assortment of different versions of the beloved Marvel character – and still leaves room for bags of character, heart and joy that spring from every beautiful pop art setting.

There is something in the comic book form that allows designers to be a little looser, and Spider-Verse is therefore free to dive head-first into the tangled web of continuity of the Marvel Comic in a way that just would not be plausible in a live action movie. . Superhero comics have the reputation of writing and rewriting the history of their longtime characters, accumulating all sorts of different versions of the heroes, not to mention asymmetrical timelines and parallel dimensions. But when you have enough different versions of a character, the likelihood of confusion becomes a cross-over opportunity. So The different Marvel catches on Spider-Man become the different components of a multiverse – or Spider-Verse.

Gwen Stacey, a long-time Spider-Man flame, is the one who was bitten by a radioactive arachnid to become Spider-Gwen. In another film, Peni Parker, inspired by the anime, pilot a combination of meches on the theme of the spider. In another example, Spider-Man Black is a 1930s grizzled crime fighter with the voice of Nicolas Cage.

And then there is the size of the pork Peter Porker, a super potent pig also known as Spider-Ham.

See? Just one tiny not very loose.

The first Spider-Man, Peter Parker, is present at the beginning of Into The Spider-Verse. But the story focuses mainly on Miles Morales, the Spider-Man version of the Ultimate comic book series that revived the main characters of Marvel in 2000. That's not really important: it's Miles' life who counts. Miles leads a richly portrayed life with friends, family and teenage distress, all lovingly portrayed and lovingly expressed by such personalities as Brian Tyree Henry, Mahershala Ali and Hailee Steinfeld.

Finally, the super-shenanigans succeed each other as Miles changes its turn on the familiar origin of the spider bites, leading to a confrontation with the mountainous murderer Kingpin. The evil imminent caricaturist wants to place his shiny head in alternative realities and unintentionally leads various creepy friendly animals into the neighborhood from their disparate corners of Spider-Verse.

This includes a jaded substitute, Peter Parker, voiced by the excellent Jake Johnson. This Peter has let go while Miles has not yet realized his potential and they must rely on one another to save the situation. The story of the coming of age is exuberant, amusing, and charming, with more emotional moves than real punches. It is jam-packed with Easter eggs and it's a meta like a complete release, but it's far from being a service exercise for fans. Yes, the cartoon form means that it can refer to movies, TV shows and even Spider-Man's spin-offs so that a live action movie does not can dream, but Miles and his family and their dilemmas are sketched so richly that this real emotion that the stupidity of super-heroes feeds the film.

Inevitably, some things must go astray. I would have liked to see more variants of Spider, for example. The sub-parcel on Miles School disappears as soon as the Spider versions appear. And why does the origin of Miles occur? You will have so much fun that you will not notice anything. I mean, in terms of defects, it's barely on the same planet as Venom.

And it looks quite beautiful: the truly innovative animation style combines a sharp 3D effect of neon color, superimposed on echoes of lines and colors of classic comic books, up to the Zip-A-Tone stitches seen in newspaper paper of yesteryear. From the breathtaking narrative to the breathtaking stories of New York's urban scenes to epic psychedelic scenes, there are details, charm and pure love in every image.

Oh, and there is also a post-credit scene. It is worth the wait.
