Miles tries to take over the job when Spider-Man is incapacitated by the Kingpin (Liev Schreiber), but his powers are new and unstable. “Into the Spider-Verse” is set in one of those alternate dimensions, slightly different from ours in purely cosmetic ways (the NYPD is called the PDNY), with biracial Brooklyn middle-schooler Miles Morales (voice of Shameik Moore) admiring local hero Spider-Man (Chris Pine) before being bitten by a radioactive spider himself. Those all happened, just in different parallel universes. This is no reboot, either, but a sequel to all of the previous entries - yes, even the Andrew Garfield ones, which canceled out the Tobey Maguire ones. Last year’s reboot, “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” balanced the scales - three great, three not - and our adhesive friend’s reputation is fully restored with “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” Now the great Spidey movies outnumber the forgettable ones! And surprisingly, I no longer think they should quit while they’re ahead. There were two excellent Spider-Man movies in the early 2000s, followed by a mediocre one, a mediocre reboot, and a mediocre sequel to that reboot.
