Film of the Week: Into The Spider-Verse

‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ may have the title of one of those lame tie-ins you get at theme parks, but this is an unexpected wonder. Pitched at a slightly more family audience than the Marvel live-action series, this follows an alternate Spider-Man, who crosses into parallel universes to team up with other versions of himself. If that sounds confusing, trust us – it’s not, and the animation is incredible. What could be a cheap cash-in to milk the brand yet again has clearly been someone’s labour of love. If only normal superhero flicks had half the creativity this has. Previewing this weekend before its December 12 release. Times
