Posted on December 12, 2018 by

To be frank with you, I did not have much expectation on Sony animation feature film “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”. Besides Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy in the 2000s, there were “The Amazing Spider-Man” (2012) and its 2014 sequel, and then … Continue reading →
