While the film world has experienced the life and times and Peter Parker’s Spider-Man, December will see the feature film debut of the Miles Morales incarnation of Spider-Man. The film follows Miles as he juggles his high school life with his status as a superhero. But now, he must also deal with the newfound knowledge of the “Spider-Verse” where there can be more than just one Spider-Man. Sony has finally held the first press screening for the film and reactions have begun to surface. So, what are the first reactions to Into the Spider-Verse?

It’s a hit! Not only has it been called the best comic book movie of the year, but the best animated film of 2018 as well. Critics praised the unique style of animation, the story, characters and music. Check the first reactions below!

Not only is SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE a great Spider-Man movie, but I think it's the BEST Spider-Man movie. A super inventive & visually stunning action-adventure about a kid learning to be a hero from a man who forgot how to be one. It is outstanding!#IntoTheSpiderVerse pic.twitter.com/vKe96y2wkH — Erik Davis (@ErikDavis) November 28, 2018

The world is about to learn what comic fans have known for years, just how cool Miles Morales is. #IntoTheSpiderVerse is truly the Ultimate Spider-Man Movie pic.twitter.com/AWlR4uol3n — Coy Jandreau (@CoyJandreau) November 28, 2018

#IntoTheSpiderverse is an evolution in animation (it’s even more impressive than your prepared for). It’s humor is Mile a minute and EXACTLY #Spiderman (and perfect for all ages) and the action is frenetic, insane, and only possible in this format. It is absolutely spectacular. — Coy Jandreau (@CoyJandreau) November 28, 2018

#SpiderVerse is creative & clever, finding brilliance in irreverence, playing around with lore & rules of the universes. Not only does it establish itself with its distinct aesthetics, it keeps character at the forefront of the action. #IntoTheSpiderVerse pic.twitter.com/iu84MhD79C — Courtney Howard (@Lulamaybelle) November 28, 2018

I could not have been happier with #IntoTheSpiderVerse. As close to perfect as it gets. So clever. So funny. So much heart. Awesome spider people. Perfect cast of voices. An amazing superhero movie. Miles is A+. The music is everything. I was engaged start to finish. Just yes. pic.twitter.com/2GOL42kYJM — Roxy Striar (@roxystriar) November 28, 2018

#IntoTheSpiderVerse TOPS MY LIST THIS YEAR. Heartfelt, hilarious, self-aware. Reminded me of a PG Deadpool meets Fantastic Mr. Fox (in terms of humor) AKA extremely my ish. And it’s so sexy IS SO SEXY🕷 — Ash Crossan (@AshCrossan) November 28, 2018

Sony’s #IntoTheSpiderVerse ups the potential of an established screen superhero & has loads of fun with sci-fi multiverse themes. The comic book aesthetic never overwhelms, older down & out Peter Parker shines & Miles Morales has more heart and complexity than any screen Spidey. pic.twitter.com/Z7ZHAjVUPm — Max Evry (@maxevry) November 28, 2018

Spider-man: Into The Spider-Verse is not only the best animated feature and best comic book movie this year, but one of the best movies of 2018 period. I don’t think another movie does a better job of bringing a comic book to life on the big screen. pic.twitter.com/EeDzaaoBqD — Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) November 28, 2018

Been holding this in for 24hours but can finally say it: #IntoTheSpiderverse is so damn good it almost makes me mad. Been thinking about it and I think it might be my favorite comic book movie of the year and one of my favorite movies this year pic.twitter.com/5gBjy34DoL — Darth Kriss (@insanityreport) November 28, 2018

Dude, #IntoTheSpiderVerse is so absurdly incredible there are not enough exclamation points on this Earth. A comic book theme park ride on several hallucinogenics. John Mulaney’s Spider-Ham 4 life — Vinnie Mancuso (@VinnieMancuso1) November 28, 2018
