If you are getting tired of the multi-verse, I get it. "Everything, Everywhere, all at Once," "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," and the soon upcoming DC film, "The Flash." Do we really need all this multipoop infesting our multiplex theatres? Well in the case of "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," it's a universal yes. It will win an Oscar for best animated film, guaranteed; nothing will beat it. It will also likely be nominated for best picture, it's that good. It really is impressive. Heartfelt, original (commendable after a half dozen plus films and an abundance of animated shows), and visually dazzling (and often dizzying), "Spider-Man: Across the Sider-Verse" impressed me greatly. This, from a guy who doesn't like most Marvel films. In fact, this is the first Marvel superhero movie to land on this blog with a full review. What's it all about? Well it's the first of a two part sequel to 2018's "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse." The main character is Miles Morales, our first black Spider-Man. He does what any Spider-Man does, stops the bad guys and tries to live a normal teenager life. This time his enemy is Spot, a villain that has the power to create portals from one spot to another - sounds bizarre and it is; it's also extremely comical. And remember, this is the multi-verse, so popping from one earth planet to the next is a whole whack of Spider-People: a Sex Pistols U.K. Spider-Man, a chai drinking Indian Spider-Man, a Pam Grier motorcycle riding Spider-Woman, a blonde Gwen Stacy Spider-Woman, and even a Peter Parker dad with a Spider-Baby. Can Spider-Man do it all, save everyone, save everything? Stay tuned for the next installment. And catch this wildly entertaining, web slinging adventure in theatres now.
