SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE Social Media Reactions Swing In But Is It Up There With SPIDER-MAN 2?

I'm 1300 words into my #SpiderMan: #IntoTheSpiderVerse review (coming tomorrow morning!). I'm not done, and I'm not even close to exhausting ways to praise it. It's extraordinary.

#IntoTheSpiderverse is an evolution in animation (it’s even more impressive than your prepared for). It’s humor is Mile a minute and EXACTLY #Spiderman (and perfect for all ages) and the action is frenetic, insane, and only possible in this format. It is absolutely spectacular.

Dude, #IntoTheSpiderVerse is so absurdly incredible there are not enough exclamation points on this Earth. A comic book theme park ride on several hallucinogenics. John Mulaney’s Spider-Ham 4 life

I can finally talk about SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE #SPIDERVERSE, and boy does it live up to the hype.

It's got heart, humor & seriously mind-blowing animation – but it's all in service of Miles' story. Easily one of the best superhero movies EVER

Not only is SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE a great Spider-Man movie, but I think it's the BEST Spider-Man movie. A super inventive & visually stunning action-adventure about a kid learning to be a hero from a man who forgot how to be one. It is outstanding!#IntoTheSpiderVerse pic.twitter.com/vKe96y2wkH

The social media embargo just dropped, so I can tell you that I LOVED Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse! My favorite animated film of the year and one of my favorite movies of 2018, period. What a fun, beautiful ride it is. Full review tomorrow morning on @sjnews! pic.twitter.com/mbS5faQBSM

Can I tweet about how much I love Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse now? BECAUSE I LOVE IT A WHOLE LOT.

— Devan Coggan (@devancoggan) November 28, 2018

#SpiderVerse is a straight-up blast and a long-overdue debut for Miles Morales. It’s a heartfelt love letter to Spidey (and the many people who’ve worn the mask over the years), but it’s also eager to break some rules and deconstruct some tropes. And it’s funny as hell.

— Devan Coggan (@devancoggan) November 28, 2018

My one quibble is not enough John Mulaney, but to be fair, I feel that way about most movies.

— Devan Coggan (@devancoggan) November 28, 2018

Spider-man: Into The Spider-Verse is not only the best animated feature and best comic book movie this year, but one of the best movies of 2018 period. I don’t think another movie does a better job of bringing a comic book to life on the big screen. pic.twitter.com/EeDzaaoBqD

It’s one of the most visually exciting animated films I’ve seen in years. Its full of heart, heroism and humor - I think Stan Lee would be proud. I got home from this film and paid to subscribe to Marvel Unlimited just so I could marathon read through dozens of...

— Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) November 28, 2018

...Miles Morales comics because I didn’t want my time with these characters to end at the credits. When everyone is is trying to make cinematic universes, Into The Spider-Verse is doing the opposite: presenting a crossover event introducing a handful of separate characters...

— Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) November 28, 2018

...from their own comic book universes that I’m hoping will be explored in their own separate movies. I don’t even care if these characters ever collide again, I want to see more of them and see how the world is different in their own dimensions.

— Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) November 28, 2018

... While I’m seriously worried about what the success of Venom & Spider-Verse could mean for Sony’s Disney MCU deal, I’m hoping Spider-verse is successful so we can get more of these. And please Sony, keep Lord and Miller involved if you know what’s good for you!

— Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) November 28, 2018

So, yeah, #SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse is a bonafide crowd-pleaser. Whatever the tracking numbers are for its #boxoffice opening, they're too low.

P.S. my theater erupted into cheers multiple times, most notably during Stan Lee's cameo <3

#SpiderVerse feels like a comic book come to life in the best way - the gorgeous art, the seemingly limitless sense of possibility. Miles is aces and I’m super here for sad-sack Peter pic.twitter.com/PNclTmtVha

I was fortunate to see #SpidermanintotheSpiderVerse on behalf of @HeatVisionBlog & @THR early last week, for a massive Easter Egg piece (I found nearly 90 in the film). My short thoughts:

We live in the best universe, if it means getting Spider-Man films this excellent (More...) pic.twitter.com/Hwyy7SS9G7

I wrote this to my Sony PR Coordinator directly after seeing it:

"The film was a realization of this comic book lovers’ dream. I’ve always imagined seeing comics come to life on the big screen as a reflection of the medium that I love: comics." pic.twitter.com/7OSLOp17te

— Amazing Spider-Talk (@SupSpiderTalk) November 28, 2018

"This made no caveats. It was a pure, visual spectacle that blended my two favorite universes: film and comics. It is easily the strongest visual realization of the character & ranks amongst “Spider-Man 2” &“Spider-Man: Homecoming” as the best Spider-Man film." pic.twitter.com/fM2lGMr8ih

— Amazing Spider-Talk (@SupSpiderTalk) November 28, 2018

"I hope this is a smashing success for Sony, beyond the “Venom” film. It’s an excellent way for Sony to assert their legacy on the character, through the Peter Parker character at the heart of the film, & distinguish themselves from Marvel; no one will mistake this for the MCU." pic.twitter.com/coI038OXDq

— Amazing Spider-Talk (@SupSpiderTalk) November 28, 2018

"I would pay to see a film about every one of these characters, especially if they opened with a Spider-Ham short film in the style of Looney Tunes. But mostly, I was in awe at what a stunning showcase this is of what Spider-Man represents & can be for people of all backgrounds." pic.twitter.com/gkaoTurkFF

— Amazing Spider-Talk (@SupSpiderTalk) November 28, 2018

Since writing that, I've been unable to stop thinking about the film. It grows in my mind every day, as I'm tortured to not be able to see it again (audiences will be lucky to binge this one over and over again). There really hasn't been another superhero film like it. pic.twitter.com/Yd1FyPviGl

— Amazing Spider-Talk (@SupSpiderTalk) November 28, 2018

In some ways, it would never have been achievable without the past twenty years of superhero films saturating our pop culture because of just how incredibly, specifically weird it is. But it also seems the most obvious, in that it is the 1st to actually look like a living comic. pic.twitter.com/RvmlID6mDq

— Amazing Spider-Talk (@SupSpiderTalk) November 28, 2018

But it also achieves the impossible task of delivering a compelling and better origin story for Miles Morales, an update on Toby's Peter's story that is nearly equally compelling, and balances a team dynamic that never wears itself out. It left me wanting more of everything! pic.twitter.com/sXPQeNumTE

— Amazing Spider-Talk (@SupSpiderTalk) November 28, 2018

Bottom line: SPIDER-MAN 2 is a masterpiece about Peter Parker/Spider-Man, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING is my favorite MCU film that redefines the character in a new context (in the shadow of the Amazing films), & SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE is a master class in Spider-Maning.

— Amazing Spider-Talk (@SupSpiderTalk) November 28, 2018

Also... be sure to stay after the credits. To miss a post-credits sting this good will force you back to the theater a second time to catch it. That said, everyone will be seeing this a half dozen times... it is that good of a film.

— Amazing Spider-Talk (@SupSpiderTalk) November 28, 2018

Spider-Man: Into the #SpiderVerse is hilarious, emotional and just so damn entertaining. Who knew that in a year when both Disney and Pixar release quality films that Spider-Verse would top them to become the best animated film of the year. It's that good.

— Mark Pacis (@PacManNR7) November 28, 2018

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will not only appeal to hardcore comic book fans but to general audiences too. I've never seen a film that hilariously pull off so many self-aware references without getting annoying.

— Mark Pacis (@PacManNR7) November 28, 2018

But the animation brings this film to another level. It's something that I've never seen before in an animated film. It seamlessly blends together so many different animation styles. pic.twitter.com/1HujHm1up3

— Mark Pacis (@PacManNR7) November 28, 2018

Into the #SpiderVerse somehow expands the character’s mythos and distills his spirit down to its essence all at once. I can’t wait to see it 20 more times. pic.twitter.com/gkNOF7MprK

— Matt Singer (@mattsinger) November 28, 2018

#SpiderVerse is the best #SpiderMan movie since Spider-Man 2. I loved every second of it. Comic fans will geek out at all of the references, but it's also just a perfect movie for parents and kids (both were cheering in the theater).

— Travis Clark (@TravClark2) November 28, 2018

Miles Morales is a Spider-Man for a new generation, and captures everything great about the character.
It also has one of the greatest Stan Lee cameos of all time.
And make sure to stay after the credits!

— Travis Clark (@TravClark2) November 28, 2018

i will have many, *many*, very nice things to say about the Spider-Verse in the morning, but anyone who says it’s the best Spider-Man movie should be forced to re-watch Spider-Man 2 clockwork orange style until their eyes melt out of their heads and manhattan sinks into the sea.

Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse adds an exciting new chapter to a story we thought we knew, but only scratched the surface of. Also provides an exciting progression to the superhero movie formula. #spiderverse #SpiderMan #IntoTheSpiderVerse pic.twitter.com/8eIHqaAGuK

"Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" is so creative, fun, and one of the best spidey films to date. An engaging story that opens up the universe and puts the animation to great use and advances the medium. My favorite animated film this year! #IntoTheSpiderVerse #SpiderVerse pic.twitter.com/xXiwnx9XKh

I want #SpiderMan #IntoTheSpiderVerse to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. That is all. pic.twitter.com/HZykWwjOEb

#IntoTheSpiderVerse TOPS MY LIST THIS YEAR. Heartfelt, hilarious, self-aware. Reminded me of a PG Deadpool meets Fantastic Mr. Fox (in terms of humor) AKA extremely my ish. And it’s so sexy IS SO SEXY🕷

Just walked out of #IntoTheSpiderVerse and y’all! It is so excellent, I was sitting there speechless by the end credits. pic.twitter.com/Vhy9LTCC4E

#Intothespiderverse is one of the best films of the years. The team did an amazing job. They successfully built a whole cinematic universe within one movie while still focusing on Miles Morales. The animation style was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. #SpiderVerse pic.twitter.com/IMJVuQkDvp
