Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse

Everybody has heard of the newest Spiderman movie. How it’s so funny and quirky and how the story has been well crafted to engage the audience throughout. I think it’s cheesy, yea I’ll say it. I mean, multiple dimensions… The lead character having to race against time to try and save all the dimensions from being destroyed while working together with all of the people from the different dimensions. Yes I think it is a little corny, but I’m not here to judge the story of the film. I’d like to focus on the artwork. One second in the film took an entire week to complete, a whopping six days. with ten minutes shy of a two hour movie, it took 800 people four years to complete this film. That’s the type of dedication I like to see in making sure the look of the movie is right. The comic book aspect is so incredibly mesmerising I can’t even begin to understand how they did everything behind the scenes. The visual aspect of the film really just draws you ina and mesmerises you. How every pixel on the screen has a certain place and if even one is off then the entire film is ruined. The different techniques used in the film were quite amazing too. If they wanted to show someone was nimble and quick they would have each frame different, essentially they would run at a higher frame rate to give that quick and nimble appeal. If someone was clumsy, however, they would often stack frame onto each other giving the appeal of a jittery clumsy hero that doesn’t know what he/she is doing. really looking at the scenes in this film make the story just dissolve really, at least for me. I could care less about the script just because the art style is so beautiful I could watch it for hours without any reason other than just looking at it. I think another one of the reasons people like the film so much is that it’s different. Nothing has ever been done with this art style before so it’s something new and fun to experience and that’s what draws the crowd. The art style really just blows me away and I just can’t get my head around how I love this art style so much. Maybe it’s because there’s something different to look at, or maybe it’s just we’ve never seen a moving comic book before.
