The moment we've all been waiting for!! After M. Night Shyamalan's live action adaptation it was hard for anyone not to be skeptical about what Netflix was about to do.

Before "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" hits theaters next week, we thought it would be the perfect time to revisit "Into the Spider-Verse." This movie has really changed the game when it comes to Hollywood animated feature films. It was unlike anything we had seen yet and it wasn't an easy task to pull off. When we talk about the greatest Spider-Man movie ever, "Into the Spider-Verse" sits at the very top for me! Would you agree?
