The dazzling Oscar-winning animated feature evolved what a comic book movie could be, both visually and narratively, using the animation medium to create an immersive cinematic experience that felt like jumping into the rapidly flipping pages of a comic book, with an addictively propulsive rhythm that only digital technology could create. I am certain this will become part of our permanent collection.It’s an overused and hyperbolic phrase online, but in retrospect, it seems that 2018’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” was a true cultural reset, especially when it comes to comic book movies. My wife and I don't always share the same perspective on movies, but we agreed on this one. The story is compelling from the opening credits to the closing credits. The scenes during the opening credits is absolutely breathtaking. Technically, this movie is exceptional, too. All of the actors turn in engrossing and compelling performances. The characters are very human and very likable. I am not that cynical about the emotional ties that bind us and I was thoroughly taken in by the story. If you are cynical at all about romance, timeless love and dedication to another person, you may find yourself rolling your eyes a bit. Sure, the core is the "Romeo and Juilet" theme, but the way is plays out and the exceptional charisma that the actors bring to the screen make it feel fresh and not entirely predictable. Unlike "Fried Green Tomatoes", this focuses on young love as it grows and endures through wars and parental dissent. It is structurally very similar to "Fried Green Tomatoes", which is also one of my all time favorite movies. The movie moves between present-day and the 1940s. This story plays out as Duke, played by James Garner, reads a story about two young people in the 1940s who fall in love and endure life.
