It’s a montage setting up Moore as the new Spider-Man, which the movie’s been setting up since a few minutes in, so it saves the day. Unlike most superhero origin stories, Spider-Verse can pull out of the tailspin for a nice set of epilogues. Not like Moore and pretty much every other character in the movie, including one who’s got a significant relationship with Schreiber and could have a major third act pay-off… but doesn’t because Schreiber’s unaware of it. Pine’s Peter Parker Spider-Man, Moore’s Miles Morales Spider-Man.īut Moore’s just met Pine, and while they do have a quick banter about Pine training Moore, they don’t have a relationship. Pine isn’t in it long enough to make an impact, but he also isn’t in it so much he’s clearly not making an impact like Schreiber. The film starts with Schreiber disposing of the original Spider-Man (Chris Pine) while Moore watches. It doesn’t just have a lengthy final fight scene between new Spider-Man (voiced by Shameik Moore) and Kingpin (Liev Schreiber in maybe the film’s only pointless voice casting), it’s got some inherently reduced stakes being an animated movie with a PG rating (i.e., it’s doubtful Moore’s going to die), but also no particular animus between Moore and Schreiber. Like most superhero origin stories, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse suffers from some third-act problems.
