Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse-Kids Movie Review

Could there possibly be more than one Spider-man? Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse follows the life of Miles Morales. Miles is an adorable 14- year-old boy whose parents enroll him in a prestigious New York City boarding school. Miles would much rather hang out with his friends in Brooklyn, but listens to his parents. Miles’ life dramatically changes the day he gets bitten by a radioactive spider. He notices some weird changes in his behavior, and claims it’s puberty until he discovers that he’s transformed into Spider-Man; and there are four more Spider-people from parallel universes. Initially, they’re confused as to all the Spider-people, but eventually the gang gets together and tries to save the world from the evil villain who is responsible for pulling different versions of Spider-man from other universes, and bringing them into our world.
