Even those supine with super-hero fatigue (and exhausted by the multiverse rigmarole) must admit Sony’s cartoon, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, was special. It’s now got the follow-up it deserves. In the bold, hilarious and uber-agile sequel, the visuals swing to new heights. Basically, I won’t believe what I’ve seen until I’ve watched the whole thing again.
The prologue establishes that reliably iconoclastic duo, Phil Lord and Chris Miller (the film’s co-writers/producers) are in the mood to play, as they ignore 15 year old Brooklynite Miles Morales/Spider-Man (Shameik Moore) to focus on his emo-ish soul-mate, Gwen Stacy/Spider-Woman (Hailee Steinfeld).
