Let's do this one more time: basically; we meet Earth-1610 Miles Morales/Spider-Man [voiced by Shameik Moore:] an intelligent individual, he attends this boarding school throughout the week called “Brooklyn Visions Academy."But after getting bitten by a spider like every other spider person, he makes a promise to a dying Earth-Dimension 1610 Peter Parker/Spider-Man [voiced by Chris Pine:] this dimension's Spider-Man to stop Earth-1610 Wilson Fisk/Kingpin [Liev Schreiber:] a infamous crime lord, the leader of Alchemax and is trying to rewrite history to save his family, but don't worry Earth-1610 Morales/Spider-Man is not coming alone.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 117 minutes film is good, it just needs to keep itself relatively loose free-flowing with structure [so it can instantaneously adapt to whatever happens next.]

Art: well straight off the bat from time to time it runs like we are in a comic book or/and elements of a comic book such as inner monologue speech bubbles on the screen or/and sound effects speech bubbles like for an example POW! I know I shouldn't make this example because they are two different comic book companies, other than comic books the only other reference I could use is the DC Batman 1966 live-action TV program [1966-1968; 3 Seasons, 120 episodes.] I mean if you look close you either have this reference being used or/and we also have Earth-616 [B] Peter B. Parker/Spider-Man [Jake Johnson:] he is heading towards his 40's, out of shape, screwed things up with MJ, so of course he would be an excellent mentor for Earth-1610 Morales/Spider-Man. But I digress but they are having this discussion on how to resolve this problem, whilst crawling up the side of this building, it is like one of those climbing up  the side of a building with Adam West/Batman and Dick Grayson/Robin, but built around the fact that these Spider Men can climb buildings naturally using their abilities, what really kind of puts across this idea of it being mimicked from this live-action TV program is based on these two points this sequence has been shot/animated to watch these two characters go up this side of the building up close and personal and like the live-action TV program when we have somebody opening up the window to engage with West/Batman and Grayson/Robin we have in this film we have this girl looking through this window to indicate that whomever came up with this sequence could have possibly paying homage to this iconic live-action TV program, but put their own spin on it and keeping it with the more mature tone of this animated film title; if it was a homage to this live-action TV program, it is an excellent interpretation and a good little action sequence and there is one more reference to at least Warner Bros/Looney Tunes or better known today as Warner Bros Discovery/Looney Tunes [they have a long-term relationship with DC] we have a character Earth-8311 Peter Porker/Spider-Ham [voice by John Mulaney:] a talking pig that is a photographer for The Daily Beagle which has of what we see as the ability other than the usual Spider-Person has the ability to for an example produce a wooden mallet out of disguise and not only that to really drive that this home, he dares to use the signing off of "That's all folks" and why stop there he makes reference to wondering if basically they are going to get sued now. So as you can see there is also a good comedy flavour from this one example as well.

Character developments and voice performances: I can really appreciate how they tried to create these moments for these individual Spider-People like for the example Earth-Dimension 1610 Miles Morales/Spider-Man takes this massive leap backwards off the top of this building as he has recently found his inner belief to go and take care of business with the other Spider-People to complement this sequence we have this urban music [no I am not being racist here, I am just saying it as it is.] But it also is designed to mimic the attitude and the confidence of our newest Spider-Man as for the first time not only in his life but as his alter ego as well; he can truly break free and be free. Whilst I have spoken about the youngest I may as well talk about the oldest by history Earth-90214 Peter Parker/Spider-Man Noir [voiced by Nicolas Cage:] is an investigator from the 1930's, basically if you get Dick Tracy, a basic outline a of what Spider-Man represents and should be, get the colours of grey and darkness put it all in a massive shaker, shaky around a bit, leave it to set for about a decade, then come back and take it out of its casing this is the kind of Spider-Man that would be the result of that.

Because I have only made roughly about one and a half references to some action elements, I will make another reference here. Earth-90214 Parker/Spider-Man Noir vs. Earth-1610 Alonzo Thompson "Lonnie" Lincoln/Tombstone [voiced by  Marvin "Krondon" Jones III:] he is the main henchman for Earth-Dimension 1610 Fisk/Kingpin in this project. So briefly much later on we have these two characters having a little fight which is something you will have to watch out for because it is in one of those large action sequences, which I am not criticising or complaining about, but there is lots of things happening, but this one in particular should stick out because Earth-1610 Alonzo Thompson "Lonnie" Lincoln/Tombstone gets squashed by a vehicle and briefly yes because Earth-Dimension 90214 Parker/Spider-Man Noir is old school he has also been given the luxury of having the punch sound effects speech bubble thing, but in his own colour system of in this case black and white.

The voice performances have been well chosen they fit perfectly with their characters, so there is excellent chemistry throughout this cast and hopefully they will have more time and more titles fluently become synonymous with their characters. Now I am not being touchy here, but I am fully aware of the world we are currently living in. Yes I have not made a direct reference to any of the female characters or/and voice performances. Before you exercise your fingers and burnout your keyboard. I have seen this sequel yet, but I do intend to potentially withdraw some of these names from the sequel so obviously I will have to mention some key ones, but the general idea is in the sequel to not mention heavily or at all if I can help it these names in this content, to basically refresh these names with the female names or/and new names. I have used this method before especially in long-term franchises, it isn't out of laziness, it is just making sure or trying to make sure everyone gets a mention at some point, so that it makes franchise content a little less daunting.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; it does have lots to offer, but it does feel much more at home in the Spider-Verse where you do feel anything is possible and the restraints of the normal world have been removed and there is one extra scene right at the end of the credits. I should give a few moments to this man; we meet Earth-Dimension 1610 Stan [voiced by Stan Lee:] this man that runs this corner shop that we see for one scene. RIP Stan Lee 1922-2018 Excelsior! This should be absolutely no surprise; but this film has awards accredited to its name; 81 Winners that includes Academy Awards, USA 2019 Oscar Best Animated Feature Film Bob Persichetti Peter Ramsey Rodney Rothman Phil Lord Christopher Miller. 57 Nominees Grammy Awards 2020 Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media Spring Aspers (compilation producer) Dana Sano (compilation producer) Kier Lehman (music supervisor.) But for some strange reason it also has a negative award accredited to its name Razzie Awards 2019 Redeemer Award Sony Pictures Animation. I am a little bit confused by this award name because this award ceremony/event are legendary and giving out negative award, but in this case are they saying this film has some redeeming qualities to it meaning, it is good. But either way if I didn't mention this award at some point, I may run the risk of somebody coming back to me and pointing out you didn't make reference to the potential negative award, so that is why it is here.
