Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - Ultimate Comics Cut

Enjoyed this movie. Wish Sony had finished the animation on those extra scenes. But I definitely enjoyed it!

A strong film made even stronger by the reincorporation of a few deleted scenes that help enrich the narrative and characters. The unfinished animation for these scenes takes a while to get used to, but it's easily to overlook when the dialogue, storytelling, and voice acting are all so good and they're reintegrated into the plot mostly very well. Another great Bobson Dugnutt edit.

For some reason, I was not a huge fan of Into the Spider-Verse the first time I watched it. I'd been meaning to revisit it for a while, but kinda forgot about it - the release of this edit certainly jogged my memory.

Edit aside - this film is amazing! I remember feeling it was dull and uninteresting for the majority of the runtime, before picking up in an amazing third act - while I still think the third act is the clear highlight, the first two are nothing to complain about! I was wrong.

As for the edit, it was pretty solid. Most of the integrations - regardless of state/quality - were done pretty well. However, there were a few that I don't think enhanced anything and just distracted me for a moment or two when I got adjusted to the rough sketches and raw animation, and in my opinion detracted from the narrative (not a fan of the on-the-nose "Now you don't have to be Spider-Man" line). Additionally, at some points in the film (particularly those with low-pitch audio), the gain appeared to cap out, leading to a kinda muffled sound - I noticed it specifically on a lot of lines said by Miles' father.

Regardless, I'd recommend checking out this edit. These issues were temporary and unobtrusive overall, and this was still a fun way to revisit the film.
