New and different, super extraordinary

Watched the IMAX 3D version of "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse". What a surprise! Far more than the impression the trailer gave me. Basically lock in the best animation of the year!

The first is the picture effect. The combination of 2D and 3D has a strong sense of three-dimensionality and rich and diverse viewing angles. The whole film is very gorgeous and mysterious, especially the last few scenes are simply dazzling! The scene is not inferior to the current live-action commercial blockbusters, and the lens has reached a level of gorgeousness that a live-action movie can't imagine. Its style of painting is completely different from the current popular cartoon CG modeling 3D simulation, which is really refreshing. This cartoon is really worth going to the theater to watch the IMAX version!

This film can be called the most comic-style movie/animation: the use of speech bubbles, framed images and onomatopoeia are all in place, especially Spider-Man’s spider induction, which has become an interesting detail in the film. Occurrences.

This film is probably one of the few stills that are not as good-looking as the movie!

From the perspective of superhero movies, the film is also very interesting: the story of Spider-Man has actually been told on the big screen for three rounds, from Sam Remy’s "Spider-Man" to "The Amazing Spider-Man" to "Spider-Man: Homecoming". But this film can still tell the story of the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty (there is also self-voicing in the middle). In addition, the film is patient in shaping the characters and laying out the story, and spent a lot of space to shape the black spider. There is basically no anticlimactic problem-"Venom" has a bigger problem in this respect. Sony Animation really opened a new road for Marvel this time, and let a Spider-Man movie with teenagers as the protagonist have topics that adults are also interested in. Compared with the previous Extraordinary series and restarts, I think those live-action versions. The expression is too simple and mediocre.

"Spider-Man: Parallel Universe" can be regarded as a new milestone in cartoons visually, and the story and characters are also quite successful. The main reason is that the ending story is still slightly weaker, and the villain is still very thin. The original story gave the villain a reason to go his own way, but the ending trip was very hasty, losing the opportunity to deepen the character and the theme. At the same time, the transformation of Black Spider's father is also abrupt and lacks a reasonable process.

Summarize my opinion: the best cartoon of the year! In recent years, the breakthrough work of cartoons is the first to start! One of the best superhero movies in recent years, the plot and role are still slightly inferior to "American Team 2", "Spider-Man 2" and "Wolverine 3", but it definitely belongs to the level of the first camp.

In the end, the cost of the film is 90 million US dollars, which is only in the middle of the cartoon, and it is by no means a super large production! The most recent "Invincible Destruction King 2" cost 175 million US dollars, which is twice that of the film; "Green Haired Grinch" also cost 75 million US dollars. The three directors of this cartoon are all produced by animation. Two of them are directors for the first time. The other one, Peter Ramsey, who has filmed "League of the Guardians", has only directed such a cartoon. The word-of-mouth of this film has exploded, and it really reflects the overall level of Hollywood cartoons- people are industries that promote creativity, and here we are still creativity pulling industry to move forward!

  • Mary Jane: [mistaking Peter for a waiter] Hello.

    Peter B. Parker: Oh, wow.

    Mary Jane: Um, I just wondered if we could have some more bread at table twelve.

    Peter B. Parker: Yeah! I'm just, I'm really sorry...

    Mary Jane: Oh, don't be sorry. It's just bread.

    Peter B. Parker: No, I wasn't there for you when you needed me.

    Mary Jane: Mmm-hmm...

    Peter B. Parker: And I didn't even try.

    Mary Jane: That's fine. I should really get going...

    Peter B. Parker: I know I could do better if I just had another chance to give you... the bread that you deserve.

    Mary Jane: Are you okay?

    Gwen Stacy: Ma'am, we'll take care of that bread right now.

    Mary Jane: It's been nice, uh, talking to you.

    Peter B. Parker: For you they should fill this place up with fresh bread.

  • [first lines]

    Peter Parker: [narrating] All right, let's do this one last time. My name is Peter Parker. I was bitten by a radioactive spider, and for ten years I've been the one and only Spider-Man. I'm pretty sure you know the rest. I saved a bunch of people, fell in love, saved the city, and then I saved the city again... and again and again and again. And I, uh... I did this.

    Peter Parker: We don't really talk about this. Look, I'm a comic book, I'm a cereal, did a Christmas album. I have an excellent theme song. And a so-so popsicle. I mean, I've looked worse. But after everything, I still love being Spider-Man. I mean, who wouldn't? So no matter how many hits I take, I always find a way to come back. Because the only thing standing between this city and oblivion is me. There's only one Spider-Man. And you're looking at him.
