Insomniac’s Spider-Man

suit can be glimpsed during

one scene. Game on!

D

id you think Tom Holland’s

Peter Parker making everyone

weep in Infinity War, or

Insomniac’s Spidey perfecting

videogame traversal was as

good as the last 12 months could get

for Marvel’s friendly neighbourhood

wall-crawler? Think again. An animated

wonder, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-

Verse isn’t just up there with the best

superhero films of 2018, it’s one of the

best films of 2018.

Bringing fan-favourite mixed-race

Spidey Miles Morales to the big screen

for the first time, the film unites all

manner of weird and wacky Spider-

Folk, who are sucked into Miles’ world

when Wilson Fisk’s particle collider

bridges the gap between multiple

dimensions. But the collider is on the

verge of collapse, and only the

Spider-Men, -Women and -Pigs can

save the multiverse.

The first thing you can’t help but

notice about Into The Spider-Verse is it

looks spectacular. The film’s three

directors developed

some inspired

techniques to bring the

film to life, including

layering 2D line drawings

over 3D models, and

animating on “twos”

(where characters only

move once every two

frames). The result is the

closest any film has

come to replicating the

look and feel of a comic

book on screen.

But style over

substance this ain’t.

Embracing the beauty of

Spider-Man’s design –

that anyone can wear

the mask and be a hero

• Spider-Verse is smart,
  heartfelt, irreverent and
  blisteringly funny. Simply
  put, whichever universe
  you’re from, don’t miss
  it. Jordan Farley

The Spider-Verse

attracted the column inches,

it’s every bit the match for

its parent show.

but does have a very shiny

xenomorphonthecover.

THELAST

incendiary 30 yearson.

moon for decades. Features

Hitler riding a dinosaur.

MORTAL

ENGINES

woman stumbling through

life in the wake ofa tragedy.

MARY POPPINS

perfect in every way.
