SPOILER-ALERT! Not from us! No, the Spoiler comes from the SPIDER-VERSE itself, announcing ‘To Be Continued’ right at the end. After 2+ hours setting up one more go at SPIDEY ORIGIN STORY (Chapter Five: Dad Dies), does anyone imagine they’ll go thru with it in some putative Part II? Me neither. Regretfully, after seeing Spidey masters Phil Lord & Christopher Miller demonstrate that MORE truly is LESS, perhaps it’s time to bid the SPIDER-VERSE goodbye. A shame too, as INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE/’18 was such a happy surprise.* Now, 15-yr-old Spidey, the Black High School Spidey with a cop for a father, gets confronted by Anti-Matter ‘Spot’ (slackly voiced by Jason Schwartzman, but conceptually the best thing in here), a Super-Villain powerful enough to need a village (of Spider-Entities) to counter him . . . in the next film. All those International Spideys, wedged in like some SONY Headphone Product Placement. Altogether too many Spideys (and all with parental separation issues); too many styles of animation thrown at us; too many plotlines & characters (catering to multiple views as you’ll need to reach Level Six to figure it all out), the evanescent look both cool & headache inducing. When it opens in a year or three, just let us know how they finesse their way out of knocking off Dad so we don’t have to sit thru another 2+ hours.
WATCH THIS, NOT THAT/LINK: *And INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE/’18 so promising. https://maksquibs.blogspot.com/2019/05/spider-man-into-spider-verse-2018.html
