Miles Morales is juggling his life between being a high school student and being Spider-Man. However, when Wilson "Kingpin" Fisk uses a super collider, another Spider-Man from another dimension, Peter Parker, accidentally winds up in Miles' dimension. As Peter trains Miles to become a better Spider-Man, they are soon joined by four other Spider-Men from across the "Spider-Verse". As all these clashing dimensions start to tear Brooklyn apart, Miles must help the others stop Fisk and return everyone to their own dimensions.

Critic Consensus

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse received an overwhelmingly positive reception from Indian critics, with scores ranging from 70 to 100. Reviewers consistently highlighted the film's distinctive and inventive visual style alongside its witty, emotionally resonant storytelling. Several critics noted its broad appeal beyond dedicated comic book fans. The most common reservation, raised by a minority of reviewers, was that the film's rapid pacing leaves little room to dwell on its emotional moments, and that its sprawling narrative risks overextending itself.

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is a bold and ultimately rewarding attempt to expand our favourite web-slinger's movie universe. It's a real blast of originality and creativity, and I recommend that you don't miss it.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' is a bold attempt to tell one of the most 'out there' stories in the comic book world. It's amazing to see all the components come together and work as well as they do. The tonality is funny, and heart-warming, while the visuals are exquisitely trippy at the same time.

The best Spidey film till date...The film has its emotional moments too, but the breakneck speed of the screenplay only lets us linger over these for a few seconds before hitting us with more action.

At close to 120 minutes, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse spins far too many webs for its own good, but the witty dialogue, energetic voice work, and eye-popping visuals mostly keep fatigue at bay.

'Spider Man: Into the Spider Verse' is a referring superhero film. The best thing about it is the pop animation: the charm of the film lies in its distinctive visuals, which are very indie to be in the mainstream, especially a big leap for the Marvel zany. The film is an incredible triumph of storytelling because the colour completely seaps and soars and scales the heights of beauty.
