Tyler was mad about having to watch Crazy Rich Asians and Aquaman so I had to promise him a "good" movie to make up for it. Fortunately, Into the Spider-Verse is awesome. He says it's "the greatest movie of all time" and "how superhero movies should be." I wouldn't go quite that far but it is a really, really good film.Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) is trying to adjust to the rich new private school he's attending but all he really wants to do is hang out with his Uncle Aaron (Mahershala Ali) and tag walls. He accidentally gets bitten by a radioactive spider and then watches as Spider-Man (Chris Pine) is killed trying to stop Wilson Fisk (Liev Shreiber) from turning on a supercollider that begins to merge the multiverse. Suddenly, there are multiple Spider-People from all kinds of universes, including one where it's the 1930s-40s and all in black and white, a far-flung future where mechs are real, and a cartoon one with a spider-pig. Unfortunately, all the spider-people will die if they don't get back to their home dimensions so Miles must learn the ropes and prove he is a worthy successor to the web fluid.
The animation in this movie is spectacular. I can't wait to own a copy so I can go through it again and see all the easter eggs (because you know there are tons of them). Also, the soundtrack is badass and of course I bought the Very Spidey Christmas album, which is the only acceptable Christmas music according to Tyler.
Honestly, you should see this one in the theaters just for the scale of it. Also, just because it is animated doesn't mean it's for children, so leave your 10 and under kids at home. It's not for them.
