Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) (mini-review++)

(If you’re curious, my review process. It’s also pasted at the end of this post. I don’t believe in Rotten Tomatoes. I just believe in me.)

(***all-purpose SPOILER ALERT*** there may be some in this review)

acting 9

directing 9

effects 10

editing 9

writing 8

SW SCORE: 45

5 out of 5 🐙

++

A wholly fresh, smart, fun, and layered reimagining of one of the most iconic characters ever. Believe the hype. This is a major storyline in the written comic world but I stopped reading comics for 20 years so I can’t speak to its faithfulness to the source material but I can guarantee its fearlessness.

(1) Shark Wrighter (SW) Score: Based on a sum of 5 sub-scores (acting, directing, writing/story, effects: cinematography &/or animation &/or effects, editing) with 1 being terrible and 10 being terrific.

(2) Octopuses (0-5 🐙, with 5 being fantastic and 0 being feces)

(3) Octopuses are my unquantifiable feeling…not that SW score is scientific…but this one is even less so

(4) ++ This optional section includes any incredibly *brilliant observations that don’t fit into simple quantitative slices like the scores and octopuses *(they are likely NOT brilliant)
