Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

So I don’t really like superhero films, and have never been into Spider-Man, but thought I’d give this a shake based on the overwhelming reviews.

And… meh. The animation style is nice when it’s not super frenetic. The plot is standard boring superhero stuff. The characters are standard boring superhero characters that mostly just spit one-liners. Whatever it is that people love about this, I’m not getting it.
