An Ingeniously Beautiful Love Letter to All Spider-Man Fans

"Everyone keeps telling me how my story is supposed to go. Sorry, I'm doing my own thing."
- Miles Morales
To every Spider-Man fan. Every single one who has ever loved one of the comic books, an animated episode, a video game, or a motion picture to come out from Marvel and Sony studios. This film is a love letter to you. And it's a hella beautiful one.
Animated with a blast in an array of colors, style, and personality, this is a hyper-stimulating, visual candy feast for the eyes. It's as if you could almost simply reach out to the screen and feel the sheer brilliance, creativity, and love that was behind the making of it at your very fingertips. With every frame, cut, and transition, the screen oozes with cinematic charisma on a revolutionary level for animated films.
The action sequences bombard you, the intimate moments hit you hard in the gut, the dialogue is delivered with such authenticity and hilarity, the cinematography is vibrantly crisp with diverse textures, lights and shadows, and the soundtrack elevates and brings everything to life with it's instant magnetism. All components come together so harmoniously smooth with a bewitching, artistic beauty to transcend you in such a miraculous way very few films have succeeded in doing until all that remains to exist are your pair of eyes glued to the screen with no bone in your body willing to look away for even a second.
Touching on self-sacrifice, family, responsibility, fate and what it would mean if you had the chance to confront yours and change it. What makes us who we are if all the things that happened to us never happened? Who would you end up as if you weren't given the life you're currently living in? Are we mere products of our past whose fate has already been fabricated by some unknown universal law, like a marionette manipulated by a web of strings of our pre-determined future? "Across the Spider-Verse" take these questions, twists them within this multiversal world of Spider-Men, and ask us: What if we had a say in all this?
Amidst all the chaos, there's a heart-felt story about a guy battling abandonment, loss, and isolation, whose existence originated from a single universal mistake. A guy who has been kept in the dark for too long and is threatened to play a passive role in order for certain life events to unfold by themselves. But no matter how many times he is beaten down he rises up to fight another battle, to do what he believes is right even when what's righteous has now been clouded by ambiguity and uncertainty.
What a masterful Spider-Man film to witness on the big screen and one surely the rest of the massive collective of passionate fans will love.
