Into the Spider Verse Was Great

The new Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse just came out this week and I cannot recommend it enough. It's so smart and funny and the animation is different than anything I've ever seen before. Spider-Verse adopts the classic comic book style but is able to incorporate amazing camera movement and a few different styles of animation. When I saw The Incredibles 2 earlier this year, I realized that the MCU kind of made me forget that superhero movies are the most fun and the most daring when they are animated. Spider-Verse left me with the same feeling. I hope that this film changes up the superhero genre a bit and we see more complex stories like this in the coming years instead of the same old stuff that's been oversaturated in the last decade. Overall, a fantastic movie and I highly recommend seeing it on the big screen.

    I agree, chase scenes and fight scenes look so much intense in animation for some reason. They are that much more accelerating and exiting. They just have a way to feel more real and intense when they are animated for some reason.

This movie can be considered capitalist propaganda- the Bratz shop in order to destress about their problems, and it's an implemental part of their lives. They don't have jobs either- Jade has an internship, but only for three hours until she is fired. Chloe meets a TRASH British prince and ignores her best friend Yasmin who finds celebrity judge Byron Powell's (I don't make this stuff up) dog, Ozzy. Jade and Sasha try to do a photo shoot for the magazine, but Sasha micromanages the whole thing and makes her friend feel bad! And this whole time, there's these two evil blond twins (Kaley Cuoco PLA...

The New Spider Man!

Yesterday I saw spiderman with some buddies and we all walked out absolutely giddy! This animation is the best animation to hit the theaters in 2018. Period. I remember watching it and as I was watching it thinking, "thank god I already finished all my reviews because I don't think I can put into words how good this movie is in just a page". The style of this animation is something you have never seen before from Hollywood. It is absolutely stunning. It follows traditions of comic book artists with bright colors, dark lines on the face, and a pop art texture overlayed on top of everything. My breath was taken away during the final fight scene: it was gorgeous , emotional, and the stakes were made clear in every shot. Not only was the animation fantastic, but the story was also so well told. Every character had a meaningful arch or something you didn't expect from them. Every relationship and turning point felt genuine and earned. And you didn't have some v...
