They did just a genius job balancing all of the artistic styles: cross-hatching for shading, actual ink shading, noir grayscale against the burn-your-retinas color of the anime character, cartoon style up against almost-photographic artwork. The animation of the character’s facial expressions was dead-on realistic. Wow, talk about MMV. I found the film really hard to grade. I’m honestly not sure if I’m rating it way too high or way too low. I loved the script, the acting, the music, the editing, all that jazz. But I hated the animation style. Not the use of comic book elements like word bubble type narration and such. That was totally cool. I just can’t stand the “uncanny valley” computer animation used through most of the movie. So I can see an argument for just giving this a D-, lamenting that they didn’t make it a different way, and moving on. But all those other elements of the film are strong enough that I was kind of into it regardless. So ultimately I went with a C- grade. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seen-it-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse/825908)._
