Synopsis
Miles Morales catapults across the multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People tasked with protecting its very existence, but their ideas of heroism clash with his own.
The Review
Few animated sequels take this many swings and land almost all of them. Every universe Miles visits gets its own distinct art style, watercolor, punk zine collage, sketchbook line work, and the film never treats that as a novelty, it uses the shifting visual language to underline the story's argument about who gets to decide what a hero looks like. Oscar Isaac's Spider-Man 2099 makes for a compelling ideological foil rather than a simple villain. The cliffhanger ending will frustrate viewers wanting closure, but as a piece of pure craft this is animation operating at the top of its game.
